We were immediately greeted and placed drink orders. I had the espresso martini. This was not your typical espresso martini it was so good and very very strong. For dinner I ordered the Guinness pie and my Friend got the seafood pie. Both were delicious but the Guinness pie was exceptional. I love to share food but did not want to share this. I wanted to savor every bite. O ate the entire pie and its was huge but so good. Couldn't pass up sticky toffee pudding and my goodness am o glad I somehow managed to find the room. One of the best desserts I've ever had so good I could've shed a tear. Can't wait to visit again.

Small pork pie's pastry had some slightly overburnt and had spots, but it was crispy overall. The filling was seasoned nicely, but could use a bit more gravy or juice. The blackberry sundae with ice cream was nicely done, silky texture ice cream, sundae was rich in blackberry flavor. Other elements provide a diversity of mouthfeel, but I felt some of them were a bit of nuisance as their textures sometimes did not feel harmonized together.

Visited for two consecutive nights 18/02 and 19/02 2026. The first night I had two appetizers,…read moreAtlantic prawn and crab sandwich, and a dessert of Ferrero Roche cheese cake. The second night I had an appetizer of seafood chowder and the John Dory fish. The cheese cake was unique, , very satisfying taste of cocoa, and the crunchy and gritty texture really felt like Ferrero Roche. For the other dishes I found something interesting. The prawns and crab sandwiches tasted standard, but the oily sauce (prawns) and the sweet and sour puree (crab sandwiches) had exquisite flavor that made one want to finish them all with a piece of bread (which I did). On the other hand, the John Dory was nicely done, texture spot-on, juicy and savoy flavor, but the white sauce looked broken and watery, and the taste was a bit on the bland side. In general I enjoyed my experience, but I wonder if they could match the quality of the sauce and the main ingredients better :)

Cork is a place you DEFINITELY need reservations for dinner - it's very busy, and popular restaurants like Orso do fill up very quickly. It was bustling even at 6:30PM, and was great to see a busy and thriving restaurant. The food and service was phenomenal, so good that we chose to dine at their sister restaurants across the rest of our visit to Cork. Highly recommended.

Walking into Orso, we were greated by our wonderful server Gabriella. She has a most friendly and…read moreinviting smile and she was very helpful. Though she was literally the only server for the entire restaurant this evening, she never made us feel rushed and was always patient with every group that came. This is a relatively small space with only about 6 tables inside. There was a large group sitting outside, they probably put together 2 or 3 tables. It's a relaxed place with some beautifully framed artwork on the wall. The menu provides a wonderful selection of Middle Eastern food. We didn't choose any drinks other than the water that was offered. My wife and I shared the Grilled Halloumi salad to start. The salad was delicious and the halloumi was superb. For the entree we both chose the fish of the day, a grilled sea bream with some sort of slaw. The fish was fantastic, prepared perfectly. It had wonderful flavors in addition to the excellent taste and texture of the fish. We ordered a side of sweet pea hummus with pita, which was absolutely delicious. We succumbed to ordering dessert because they too sounded so good. What made them totally special was that birth the Pear Tartin and Mahalabia were flavorful, not too sweet, and we didn't feel stuffed after enjoying them to complete our meal. The fresh mint tea that accompanied dessert was delicious.

Fresh, clean, and the kind of flavour that makes you pause for a second like... wow, ok. I didn't have a reservation, but I had a serious oyster craving, and the manager was kind enough to fit me in. That alone deserves a thank you. Service was good, friendly, and attentive without hovering. The atmosphere was great too, lively and comfortable, perfect for a quick treat or a casual seafood stop.

I then had Roasted Chicken breast, Roasted Root veg (cooked al dente) and Mashed potato (13euro). I asked for a little garlic butter for the mash - this was with me within seconds and was gorgeous. My Partner ordered a Steak Sandwich with Jack Daniels BBQ Sauce (15euro). This came with a lovely lightly dressed salad and your choice of shoestring, chunky or Sweet potato fries. Jack Daniels BBQ sauce is now his favourite thing ever! We finished off with an order of Apple pie (5euro) and a Chocolate brownie Sundae(5euro) served in a half pint glass. The dessert portions are huge - defo big enough to share one between 2 people! We had the following drinks: Carlsberg = 5euro Vodka = 5euro Cranberry juice = 2.70 euro Espresso Martini = 10euro Jameson Whiskey = 5euro Our bill finished up at just under 100 euro. Our server was named Ferga - a student in CIT. She was a pleasure to be served by and was able to rattle off the specials for the evening like nothing I've ever seen. I highly recommend this place to anyone who's planning a night out in Cork. We will certainly be returning!
