An old-school Bronx gem, a place where locals eat ordinary Italian favorites that are served with care and respect. Marsala sauce is the real deal here, and all us students of the thing better reference their version. Wine broiled sole: not one bit overcooked, delicate flesh poached in perfect, perfect, perfect wine sauce. Not too much butter. Wow. It sets the standard
Greeted at the door by owner who seemed to take great interest in her customer's. Food was excellent great portions cooked perfect just the right amount of seasoning.... Recommended highly....
I recently dined at Orrico’s Italian Restaurant and was thoroughly impressed by the culinary offerings. The carbonara and vodka pasta were some of the best I've ever tasted, bursting with rich flavors that left me craving more. The calamari was perfectly cooked, tender, and delicious, making it a standout appetizer. Coupled with the friendly service and inviting ambience, Orrico's is a must-visit for anyone seeking an exceptional Italian dining experience.
The food was very flavorful. I love that they kept the exposed brick from Lucas and updated it to a fresh look. Staff was very accommodating and friendly. Prompt and polite. Will make this a Father’s Day tradition.
Absolutely the best Italian food in the Country Club / Throggs Neck Area... Owner and Chef Rob will do whatever he can to accommodate anything you need... The Short Rib Egg Rolls made in house are 1 of a kind. Staff is always polite and up to speed. Truly a staple in the community....
We had lunch at Orrico's today, following Wally's Instagram testimonial! It did not disappoint! Toni Ann and Robert are the most warm and friendly owners/host and chef! There were four of us, and we ordered a bunch of appetizers to start, one more delicious than the next! Baked clams oreganato were perfectly seasoned and fresh. If you can imagine a potato croquette getting any better, these were smothered in the most delicious marsala mushroom sauce. Dirty potato chips… Smothered in Gorgonzola sauce with chopped tomato and meatball! Delicious creamy arancini...the tomato sauce is amazing. For entrées, we were actually stuffed and decided to share a few entrées. We went with the highly recommended chicken parm and a custom dish that chef Robert was happy to oblige on! It was fried eggplant layered with a brown marsala mushroom sauce and melted mozzarella cheese. To die for! We had the spinach salad with cranberries, pears, and candied walnuts, and a raspberry vinegar dressing.... Side of bleu cheese. Amazing. The portions are so generous, we actually took leftovers home! Not that we needed it, but the delicious fresh crusty bread brought to the table, hit the spot as well, especially when soaking up all of the delicious sauces from our dishes! Quick ride from Westchester for sure! We will most definitely be back! Thanks so much from Bobby, Pat, Laura and Lisa!!
Excellent delicious food, good variety, very attentive staff. This locale used to be Lucca's Italian Restaurant.
