Orto is an amazing, urban, fresh and cozy pizzeria just outside the heart of Belfast. As I stepped into Orto I was immediately struck by the overwhelmingly big pizza oven at the back. In my opinion when you can see the oven you know it's good food. I was sat right next to where they make the pizzas which was really interesting as you don't normally see them making the pizza. My seat was seemingly strategically placed so that you can only see their hands at work. Now. The food. For starters I had the bread sticks with homemade garlic butter. AMAZING. These were not your usual breadsticks, more, slim cuts of a perfectly made loaf. The butter was amazing with just the right hints of salt and garlic with a consistent creamy texture. I am quite a plain Jane with my pizza orders so I want either the mozzarella, tomato sauce and basil, otherwise know as the Margherita. It was a superb compliment to my starter. With a brilliant chewy stone baked base and fresh mozzarella cheese. 10/10 would recommend if you're in the other end of the country. read more
