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.

    We met an old friend for a holiday dinner and had a nice Mista salad followed by delicious Bolognese pasta. Loud due to a large office holiday party taking up most of the restaurant but not usually like that. We go back quite often.

    Great food for us - GF and our daughter is vegan. We all enjoyed our entrees and were delighted by the waitress who genuinely understood our restrictions. When we ordered a birthday dessert, both vegan & gfree, our waitress told us that it would be complementary since it was our daughter's birthday. The absolutely scrumptious chocolate peanut butter tart was perfect to end our evening - even came with a birthday candle lighting the way! Thanks, True Food Kitchen.
