More information on Orso

This restaurant is unique in Anchorage for serving interesting food even though it is large and oriented to the downtown tourist trade. Formerly a rather pompous place, they've lightened up the ornate dining room with big modern paintings and amped up the cuisine with bold flavors and a long menu full of surprises. The mushroom ravioli, with a generous dose of smoked salmon, was rich and strongly flavored. The rice that came with my nicely seared scallops had to be passed around and started a conversation -- I'm still not sure exactly what made it taste so good. The antipasto plate looked great and was generously endowed. Service is professional but not stuffy, and the food comes fast enough not to use up the entire evening. Generally, the prices are reasonable for this kind of food, but to save money, dine in the still somewhat grandiose bar. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
