Orso

This restaurant is unique in Anchorage for serving interesting food even though it is large and oriented to the downtown tourist trade. The warm colors of the ornate dining room are lightened with big modern paintings. Bold flavors amp up a long menu full of surprises. The mushroom ravioli, with a generous dose of smoked salmon, was rich and strongly flavored. Service is professional but not stuffy, and the food comes fast enough not to use up the entire evening. Generally, the prices are reasonable for this kind of food. We also enjoy the bar for a drink and desert at the end of an evening out (it's open an hour later than the dining room).
