One of the reasons why I don’t like LA…we attempted to walk into two places that were 90% empty, the first one didn’t wanna take us, the second one gave us a table straight in the sun with zero shade, and when we requested one of the other 30 tables that were available, they said they were reserved until we left. Ended up finding this place available on OpenTable and we are so happy that we did. The food is delicious and the service is even better. Highly recommend this restaurant!! The pasta with truffle was delicious, as was the pink sauce. Everything we ordered was very good and the staff and owner are super friendly.

What to say about this place? Super nice Italian restaurant (crazy that they gave an amazing Crème brûlée). Music was accurate, service excellent (it was the first day of my server), food super tasty and nice presented. Price wise I don’t think is too expensive for Santa Monica but is not cheap for sure. Great place for celebrate anniversary, birthday or have a date.

One of the best dining experiences we’ve had in LA area. The food and wine were amazing while not overpriced. Also have never had better service, the staff went above and beyond and were so friendly.

I took my college friends to Orto on our last night in Los Angeles and I couldn’t have been happier with our choice. The service was a bit slow at times but it’s hard to notice with the intimate ambience and fantastic wine selection to sip on. The starters were the star of the show, the burrata and beet salad are must haves. If you’re looking to impress out-of-towners with an affordable fine dining experience you need to try Orto. The owner is attentive and passionate about his restaurant and it makes the experience even better (Raymond our server was also fantastic). I look forward to being back soon.

Excellent is how we’d describe our experience. Nice location, friendly and caring staff, good wine selection, and great food. We brought our daughter and her friends to celebrate her 21st birthday, and we all had a great time. We’re from the Valencia area, and we’ll be back.

Food and service were excellent. Beautiful space. Highlights were the veal Milanese, spaghetti carbonara and mushroom cake on fondue.

The salad and sea bass were truly amazing but we did not understand the tower sea bass at all.

Went for a Friday lunch. Melodious and soothing music, beautiful space, and warm service. The olive bread already showed the quality of the food. The veggies were so fresh and the meatballs were tastier than most of the others we had tried. You shouldn’t missed the black truffle cavatelli – not only for the sake of the truffles (though that’s enough) but also for the sausages! We also loved the cannolo – ultra-crispy shell with mouth-watering ricotto. Thank you, chef.
