Orso Kitchen & Bar

Had one of the best meals of 2024 in Orso last week. Absolutely stunning food, including top class plant-based dishes that would leave you wanting second helpings. Staff were efficient, friendly and so attentive. We were lucky to get the two seats at the counter inside the window vs opposite the door which could be a little chilly of a winter’s evening. Genuinely can’t wait to go back.

Simply lovely in every way! We had vegetarian food and enjoyed everything. Really great cauliflower dish, cannellini was amazing, and the eggplant dish was amazing! Service was fantastic and the ambience is great not too loud, cozy, and just lovely overall.

They make up for the small size of the place with great service. Lamb köfte and lamb shank were good. Honey Bomb cocktail felt more like rhubarb bomb but overall experience was positive.

We ate a delicious meal at Orso Kitchen & Bar, Cork, before attending the Gilbert O’ Sullivan concert. Dee took great care of us & she was especially friendly. We shared two super tasty starters, the cauliflower & prawn dishes, a very smooth red Côté de Rhône, & for mains we had the lamb shank & seared fish. Another point to note is that produce is sourced locally & sustainability is a priority, even down to the glasses. I highly recommend this restaurant. Book ahead or get there early! Five stars all round. We’ll be back next time we’re in Cork. Thanks Dee.

Took three work colleagues here last Monday night for dinner and they loved it (as did I). Haven't been to Orso for a while so I'd forgotten just how good it is. The food was stunning, the restaurant was warm and buzzy, the staff were lovely as always and the wine and homemade craft beer were delicious. I couldn't recommend it more highly and plan to go back at the first opportunity.

This hidden gem is a must visit when in Cork! The food was delicious, cocktails fabulous and service attentive. The lamb melted in your mouth. All of the flavors were so delectable. Ambience is wonderful and a great place for dinner for any occasion or just because. Highly recommend!

Orso restaurant is super cozy with a warm atmosphere. The staff was friendly and attentive. The cocktails were good. But the food was okay, I had ordered a baked cauliflower starter, a chicken supreme main course and a pistachio tiramisu for dessert.

Soooo tasty!! Genuinely in love with every bite and sip. A great spot for a special occasion or date night! The vibe is intimate, cozy, and somewhat mature, and the food is diverse and flavourful. Not a bland thing on the menu. Can't wait to go back.
