L'Orcio

Awesome food, service and ambiance.

Great homemade pasta, even gluten free options! Love the app options and cocktails. Specials are the key! Great outdoor dining with heat... can’t believe we ate outside in January and we’re comfortable!!! Highly recommend

Absolutely delicious & freshly prepared authentic Italian food.

Great food and service. The ambiance was awesome! It was a little slow due to COVID. Loved the experience

Service was horrible. Restaurant was empty yet sat there waiting for more drinks

Great night-a little steep on price but great food, server couldn't be better, quiet. Couldn't be a better night.

All I can say they never disappoint and by far our favorite restaurant!

Great place for nice romantic dinner. Excellent food and service. We will definitely return!

Every course was wonderful. Great restaurant plus reasonably priced.

Really enjoyed the Salmone Pepe Verde and the Ravioli di Aragosta. Could have done without the Pappardelle al Ragu. The truffle cheese in the Formaggi plate was also quite good. For drinks, we liked La Pera and the Harvest Mule. We weren't planning on getting dessert, but the Charlotte was dreamy - still thinking about it over a week later.

New Haven’s best Italian by far for authentic dishes, fresh ingredients, and excellent service. As Italian Americans who have lived in New Haven all our lives, it’s the only Italian we’ll eat

The food was delicious and the service was also excellent. Would definitely return!

Server was disorganized and went MIA several times. Food was “fine” but nothing to brag about. Very disappointing.

We LOVE this restaurant. Innovative, delicious dishes with the freshest ingredients. Ambiance and great service.

Fantastic food and service, as always!

Great food. Always. Service was great but main entree arrived just before we finished appetizer. AFTER I had already asked for time between. Outside of that a great experience.

Romantic spot (on back patio) with friendly staff and good food. Great wine selection.

Amazing food and service!

Great dinner, nice quiet setting with whole upstairs to ourselves!

Everything was amazing from the food to the service to the atmosphere!!! They go out of their way to serve you at L'orcios!!

Beautiful night outside on the patio. Not too busy, attentive waitress, delicious dinner.

Another awesome experience at one of our favorite restaurants!!
We ate outdoors in the back patio as that is our favorite location.
We were celebrating a birthday and started with a small bel of Moët Chandon champagne.
We then ordered our apps (carpaccio and Tuscan pate)...carpaccio was great but pate only so so.
We both ordered the gnocchi on the menu and were impressed with the dish...these are by far the best gnocchi we have ever had, hands down. We also had a bottle Guenoc Pinot Noir that was also good.
We were too full for dessert but will certainly be back again as soon as circumstances allow.

L'Orcio is doing a first-rate job providing a wonderful dining experience even in the midst of this pandemic. Bravo et Grazie!

We love dining at L'Orcio and bringing our friends. We especially love the private patio in the back with it's lovely ambiance. The food is always delicious and they are so many great choices, form the homemade pastas to the incredible Branzino and other types of seafood!

Patio dining in a relaxed setting, observing all Covid concerns. Food and service was great as usual. Highly recommend this restaurant

Delicious. Can not wait to go back again

We have eaten here 6 different times or more and have never been let down.
The outdoor patio has been well established since long before the pandemic so the ambiance and service is fantastic.
The food is top notch.
The Fussili with Pesto was outstanding.
Wine choices are abundant and high quality.
We will certainly be returning.

To be fair, the ambience is probably better in non-pandemic times. It felt like we were eating in a restaurant that was closed and kind of dark and gloomy. The service was fair; the server was prompt and courteous, but did not anticipate anything, such as the fact that I would need an extra fork to put spaghetti on my companion's plate. When it was time to wrap up leftovers, she shoved a tiny container at us and disappeared. Again, there was no utensil to use for this operation, and when she returned to get the credit card, she took away the plate with alot of food on it, without asking if we would like a second tiny container.

I like this restaurant very much, but I will not return in pandemic times.

An ambient place with a setting that is Covid-safe.

We absolutely LOVE L'Orcio! We were celebrating my daughter's fiance's birthday and wanted to have a special dinner. We could not have been happier! In fact, we had first visited L'Orcio for my daughter's birthday celebration and so loved the ambience of the patio that we decided we HAD to return. My husband had the Veal Saltimbocco while I chose the Butternut Squash ravioli special. My daughter and her fiance settled on the Bucatini and Pappardelle. All were superb. In this COVID era, we especially love the patio, which offered a private, safe space with overhead heaters as the colder weather arrives. This is one of the New Haven gems! We will surely return!

Excellent, as always. It was a perfect evening for a garden table.

Sitting outside was absolutely lovely and the food was delicious! Will go again and recommend others to go, if they haven't done so.

Always delicious!!!! Would go every night if I could afford to!!!

Our dinner was delicious. The only disappointment was with the antipasto. My main course of the Salmon special was really flavorful. My daughter and her father had one of the other specials and they had no complaints. We would definitely go back.

Gnocchi Boscaiola was soupy. Ravioli drowned in sauce.
Grandson liked his steak but not the Ceaser salad we paid extra for.
You can have this place

This was my best dining experience in months. The outside patio was wonderful and so like Italy. My butternut squash ravioli was outstanding as was every else’s meal.

Went to dinner with my mom for restaurant week. The food and drinks were amazing. First time there and can’t wait to go back.

Had an amazing time with family. Can not wait to go back again soon.

Food was great. Outdoor patio was very nice I think just needed some music.

The best outdoor dining experience in New Haven--quiet, relaxing, green setting, with tables widely spaced. Delicious food and unobtrusive, attentive service. A treasure!
