• Italian • Santa Monica
Growing up in Italy, my family cooked at home and had the most extraordinary experiences with ingredients grown in our backyard, paired with the wines my chef/restaurateur stepfather would bring back from regions throughout Italy. I fell in love with food as a child watching my stepfather, once nominated a top chef in Italy, work in restaurant kitchens and floors. Moving to California in 1991 and subsequently to Santa Monica and experiencing the Farmers Market inspired me to start Orto - Italian for “vegetable garden” - where I meld local ingredients and organic herbs grown here at the restaurant to create traditional Italian recipes. At our bar you’ll find a cocktail list created from fresh herbs and premium spirits, and our wine list focuses on sustainable and organic producers.

    I'm giving this restaurant a 5 start review because of the overall experience. I took my wife there for her birthday recently. I used open table to make the reservation and added in the note it was my wife's birthday. When we arrived, the hostess was very pleasant and seated us. Our server, Artemio, came out and greeted up with some complimentary champagne in celebration of my wife. We ordered our appetizers, meatballs(Grade: B), and chips and dip(Grade: B). He recommended a wonderful drink for my wife, the Genet Agonafer(Grade: A). He best recommendation was for the pasta! I love beef cheeks, but my wife had never eaten it. He recommended the Scarpinocc(Grade: A), which was excellent! For dessert, he recommended their bread pudding or the Nutella Cake. My wife wanted the Nutella Cake. It was so good( Grade: A), and he comped it for my wife's birthday! He later came with a birthday card signed by the entire staff! They made my wife cry. She felt so special, and Artemio was incredible! We will be back, no doubt! This restaurant went above and beyond to make me and my wife's experience incredible. Artemio is a fantastic waiter!

    A good restaurant with wide choice of food. Would have marked service a 5* but personally I prefer server to wait til all the party have completed their course before removing plates. Appreciate this is more a European way but puts pressure on those who have not finished yet to hurry up. Excellent specials but the prices should be mentioned. Otherwise 5* for value.
