• 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.

    Hostess seated a party of 8 men next to me and my date in the backroom — we were the only couple back there and it was just thoughtless and unappreciated

    Service was good, but not outstanding. But no complaints! The food was amazing. However, we do wish they offered a few more vegetarian/vegan-friendly options, but we were able to manage because we don't expect them to change the menu to suit our palate. We ordered the eggplant appetizer, vodka sauce pasta and the roasted mushroom pizza. All were phenomenal! I ordered the prickly pear, strawberry mint spritz, which was divine. I love that they offer mocktail options, as I don't drink alcohol, but still wanted to have something nice to sip on for the occasion.
