• Italian • Santa Monica
Booked 6 times today
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.

    Excellent food and service was very attentive. I had an early dinner around 5:30 so it wasn’t crowded at all—so quiet and service was great. The special was chicken pozole and it did not disappoint. Followed by the The Gobernador tacos, then a guava empanada for dessert. The tacos had such great flavor along with the jicama slaw—perfect addition. Go to Socalo, you won’t regret it.

    We've been going back to Orto for years for a simple reason: it's always uniformly good. The food is superb, the service attentive without being invasive, and the ambiance ideal for carrying on a conversation without having to speak above a normal tone of voice.

    First time at this restaurant in the Brentwood market. The food was quite good, the service friendly if a bit slow, the ambience OK. The noise level was tolerable, mostly… The prices are unreasonable for what is offered, however; $200 for a couple, one glass of wine each, shared appetizer, one course each, plus shared desert. Had we chosen more expensive items from the menu, it could have been much higher.
