L'Orcio offers a taste of Italy with homemade dishes, delicious pastas, and fantastic cocktails and wines. While some diners found the service lacking and experienced delays with their meals, overall reviews praised the excellent food quality and service. Special shoutouts were given to standout servers like Cat and Adonnea, making dining experiences memorable. The atmosphere was praised for its cozy ambiance and great music selection. Despite a few misses with slow service and lackluster cocktails, L'Orcio remains a go-to spot for authentic Italian cuisine in the New Haven region. Don't miss out on the opportunity to enjoy a great dining celebration with friends and family.
