Orfeo

Excellent variety and quality food choices from pasta, pizza, steak, burger, and fish. Little of everything and their happy hour throughout the whole restaurant is worth it. From formal to casual dining with just the right amount of attentive service. I love that they automatically add a 20% service charge. I will definitely return and recommend this restaurant.

I made an RSVP for 7pm on a Saturday. It wasn't too crowded, but still bustling as there were two other big parties near us. We were greeted by our waiter and we ordered three drinks: Eurydice, Hermes, and the midori drink. The drinks were pretty strong, but still tasted pretty good. The Hermes was our favorite of the three. We then ordered the bolognese, carmen pizza, and orfeo salad to share. The salad was really fresh and the dressing tasted really good. The bolognese was pretty good. When the pizza came, they gave us a new york one. While we didn't touch it, our waiter came up and immediately took it away. We were a little confused, but then our carmen pizza came up right away. Between three, we were satisfied with the amount of food we ordered. The pasta and pizza were really hot and fresh and tasted really good. We ordered a tiramisu for dessert. The rum taste was pretty strong, but was still really good. I would definitely recommend this place, as it was a little higher end, while also not being super expensive. I'm not sure if a reservation is necessary, as it seems they have a lot of space. I would love to come back to try their other pasta dishes.

In town for a conference I was wandering the streets of Seattle and came across Orfeo. The atmosphere looked nice and not to busy so I decided to give it a try. The staff was very friendly and the manager was attentive to all the patrons. I admit I am not a seafood person so I didn’t realize that was their main focus but I tried the pizza and it was actually very good. But what was the real topper was the zeppolies! They were extremely tasty and the side dips of cream, chocolate, and jam were delicious. Good place for a good meal!

I had a couple drinks and oysters at the bar one night and their rosé wine dinner the next night. Complimentary truffle flavored chips/crisp when I had drinks at the bar. Wine dinner began with an assortment of appetizers and finished with 4 more courses with a rosé each course. Food and service were great.

Had the pork chop, it was amazing. My polenta was creamy and played well with the demi-glaçe, the relish was out of this world and the pork chop was done perfectly. Orfeo is one of those places where I can ask for medium and get textbook medium, not what some places think is medium (which is actually med-well or well done). I could actually taste and enjoy the pork chop without anything covering or masking the taste of the meat. I hate when all I can taste is sauce or butter or cream, etc on the meat. I think it's an insult to the animal if you can't taste the meat. All the more reason why I love that the done-ness was spot-on! Companion had crab arrabiata (they'd run out of prawns, and we were totally OK with crab meat as the alternative), and said it was equally delicious. Large crab claws of meat (the kitchen shucked the crab so companion didn't have to!) and the sauce was rich and bursting with flavour but without being too heavy or assertive. I had 2 house-named drinks (Endymion and Eurydice) and they were both excellent!!! Don't skip the drinks! The drink pictured is Endymion, made with whiskey. Eurydice (no picture) is made with gin, lime juice and lavender. Oh, and don't miss out on the fougasse 'hearth bread'. It comes with a green olive tapenade, cured olive medley, baked ricotta (eat the skin!!!), and a roasted garlic that you must try. It's like soft garlic candy!!! I drizzled the oil over-top the ricotta and a little of the tapenade. HEAVEN! Our waiter was great, attentive but not to the point where we felt rushed, very helpful, and I liked that the 20% gratuity was auto-added into the cheque. (Some ppl hate it, but I like knowing that the wait staff aren't getting stiffed for tips.) Companion and I are already planning what we're going to order the next time we visit.

Came here for dinner with a group of friends. I got the house made lemonade which was real sweet and great tasting. I got the Carmen Pizza and it was pretty good as well. The pizza was a bit greasy, but nonetheless the ingredients on it all complimented each other. I like the peppers the most. Service was mediocre and took awhile. Would have been a 5/5 had the service been better.
