• Italian • Santa Monica
Booked 12 times today
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.

    This is a beautifully decorated restaurant with an amazing view. From the moment we stepped in we were treated so well because we were on our honeymoon. We were offered a complementary drink and dessert after dinner. Our server went above and beyond it was extremely attentive. The food was fantastic. The entire experience was one of the best during our honeymoon.
