ORSINI

Elegant, refined and thoughtful set course, featuring well-crafted creative Italian dishes, each delivered with a variety of natural tastes and textures. Staff is uniformly enthusiastic and attentive. Good value wine recommendations. Arty, comfortable space.

First of all, this restaurant is not located inside the MO hotel rather a walk around the corner in the main plaza. This restaurant has been around for quite a while, but the new one under Mandarin O hotel is quite different from its classic Italian roots. It is following the line of most Michelin star restaurants with creative cooking and plating in smaller portions and a lot of complementary amusement-bouche and mignardises… Now to the main dishes, we were four and preferred a la carte. They don’t really have a separate a la carte but they do allow you to pick and choose to form your own 3/4/5 courses from 2 different degustation menus which we really appreciate. Plating and creativity of the dishes are top, service is attentive and portions are small, rather tiny. I found myself pleasantly surprised half full before I even started my very first course as there were quite a lot of complementary amuse bouches and nicely baked bread. I personally chose 2 seafood dishes, it was good, after a lengthy explanation of various ingredients by a French speaking waitress. I don’t know why they didn’t have an Italian server but chose a French speaking server. To be honest I was not that impressed by the scampi and lobster dishes. Don’t get me wrong, they were very good, but didn’t wow me for the price they were charging. If you like real Italian seafood creative dishes, Langosteria from Milano which I recently frequented has amazing seafood dishes w non pretentious portion. I didn’t really feel the Italian taste coming out of this place, I guess that is my biggest disappointment. But nonetheless it is a top restaurant.

A fantastic Dinner expierience. Food was great, however the big diffrence made the outstanding Staff. Also Mr Oleksandr was a great Manager of the evening. Well done 👍

First off, the service was incredible. There is always somebody walking by or nearby paying attention to the needs of each table and guest. Don’t even try to pour your own wine because a server will be quick to run over and take the bottle and pour for you. Overall excellent hospitality that exceeds any dining experience. There is a great team effort here and the service is what made our dinner here so special. However, we were not super impressed by the food. It was unique and creative but everything lacked that wow factor. For a meal that costed over a grand for 3 people, it was a let down walking away. We stopped at Burger King on the way home- left our meal hungry, unimpressed and “broke”. I will say the service was a solid redeeming factor. While we would not return, kudos to the people running the show. I hope they are able to up their food game to the standards they imply by the prices. If so, this would be a great place to have a nice dinner!

Wow! A Culinary Masterpiece at Orsini From start to finish, our experience at Orsini was nothing short of excellent! Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed and escorted to our beautifully set table, where an unforgettable culinary journey awaited. The restaurant offers two fixed menus: the Classic Menü and the Seasonal Menü, with the option of either four or six courses. We opted for the four-course menu with wine pairing, and every bite was a revelation. The dishes were not only visually stunning but also perfectly seasoned, with well-balanced textures and temperatures. Each ingredient on the plate stood out, yet harmonized beautifully with the rest. The wine pairing? Simply flawless—every selection was a perfect match for its respective dish. Service was another highlight. The staff moved in perfect synchronization, creating an almost theatrical experience as they presented and cleared each course. Their attentiveness was impeccable—checking in just enough to make us feel cared for, without ever being intrusive. The ambiance is an elegant blend of classic and modern, fitting for its location inside the Mandarin Oriental. Street parking is available nearby, making access convenient. Orsini delivers a top-tier dining experience that we would recommend to anyone looking for exceptional food, outstanding service, and a touch of magic. A true delight to be a guest here!
