Oro Blu Ristorante

I've been to Oro Blue many times and it is a very nice restaurant. I'm from out of town and when I visit NY, this is where I go for dinner and/or lunch. The food is exceptional...especially the garlic spinach (my favorite). The service is great. The ambiance is very nice. Friday nites are fun with karaoke. The owner Steve is a very nice and personable person. I would highly recommend this restaurant, whether with a group, or a quiet romantic dinner. Pros: Not overly crowded, Food, Ambiance more

Quite an amazing night we had on Friday night. Once we stepped inside the restaurant, amient was just so great. They had their DJ playing nice romantic background music while we're having a dinner. Food and the service were both incredible. For a starter, we had a ""Hot Antipasto"", secret menu of this restaurant that was recommended by a waiter. Jumbo Shrimp, Clams, Mussels, a tons of fresh seafood. For Main course, we had Lobster Ravioli, the best Ravioli I've ever had in NYC. Try it out!! Pros: Great Music, tasty food, friendly, Good Parking more

The place is all right, but one waiter in particular, completely ruined the evening. ""Jerk"" would be the nicest word to describe him. And this is coming from a former server. Until they loose people like him, you won't find me going back. more

Had the pleasure of dining here with wife on Valentines Day. A friend recommended it, I'm glad I listened. Food was delicious, services was excellent, overall had a wonderful evening. They had nice music playing which added to the ambiance. Waters, bartender, hostess were all very nice. There is also plenty of street parking as well. Pros: Service, Ambiance, Good Parking more

A friend of mine and I recently stumbled into restaurant about five months agao, and had no idea what to expect. It looked very warm, spacious and inviting from outside and we felt compelled to check it out. The low lighting and mellow music makes it the pefect setting for a business lunch or or romatinc date. The food was absolutely incredible, and the friendly serivice will keep us coming back. We particilarly liked it becasue it is out of the way from the hustle aned busle of traffic and noise. I have been there three times so far, and have always been impressed with the creative menu that never fails to please, comfortable spacious seating and warm glowing atmosphere. You couldn't ask for anything more at these prices!! Pros: FOOD, atmosphere, service more

I would highly recommend this restaurant!! The Lobster Ravioli was absolutely delicious! We dined there last week and found the experience totally enjoyable. There is quite a bit of parking available in the area so it makes it very easy to get there. It is definitely a restaurant that you want to keep going back to. A keeper! Pros: Good Parking, Relaxing, totally enjoyable more

Recently my wife and myself had the privilege of dining at this wonderful restuarant. All of the staff were friendly and attentive. They catered to our every need. Everything we ordered was delicious, and the ambiance was conducive to a memorable dining experience. Parking was not a problem and the prices were very reasonable. We can't wait to go back there again! Pros: High Quality Food, Very Attentive Staff, Inexpensive more

I entered this restaurant late one night only to ask for a wire hanger. I had locked the keys in my rental car while it was still running!!! The hostess in Oro Blu gave me a hanger immediately and said she would also get someone to help me. I wasn't even a diner! Two seconds later, the restaurant's owner walks me out to my car and tries everything to open the door. Then he gets on his cell phone and calls Hertz to get emergency road assistance (Hertz sucks at this!). No luck. All of a sudden, he does something to the driver's side door and it OPENS!!! I couldn't believe my luck. What a great guy!! I'm gonna dine there all the time!! Pros: Great Service, Caring People more

Went on a Friday night and they had a local salsa band playing great music all evening. They also have poets, performances, singers each taking place once a week. Perfect for dates, romantic dinners. But the drinks are a bit pricey. Japanese owned, Spanish cooks, with an Italian cuisine. Strange but what a great turnout! Pros: live music, romantic Cons: pricey drinks more

My boyfriend and I found this Italian gem in Zagat's for Valentine's Day. We enjoyed a 4-course, pre-fixe meal - pretty good deal for $$ (which included a bottle of champagne) and the lobster and calamari with marinara sauce over linguini was excellent - but make a special request to remove lobster shell, which made eating pretty messy (not good if you are playing dress-up). The only drawbacks were that we 1) the atmosphere wasn't very intimate because of the live band (good jazz, but disruptive) and 2) were unsure who are waiter was, and thus had a little difficulty getting attention to our requests - there was a string of busboys who attended us (and perhaps our waiter?). Otherwise, we had an excellent time. The neighborhood, albeit quiet, was a nice getaway from the hustle and bustle of busy city streets. Pros: Moderately priced, Great Food, Neighborhood Cons: Noisy (on that night), Busy Waitstaff more

We love this restaurant. The pre-fix dinner menu is also a great deal! I had the chicken francese and some friends had the pasts and everything was delicios! The tiramisu was out of this world! We didn't waste a single bite. The wine menu was very good, and the service was great. Great for groups! Pros: delicious, good for groups, boody buy Cons: location more

I went ORO BLU with my friends to have dinner one day, and I had such a great time. Food was delicious, service was perfect and atmosphere was so romantic. I've heard they will have grand opening party for lounge this Friday 25th. You shou go check it out!! Pros: inexpensive, great service, great atmosphere more

A precious jewel on a relatively quiet street. Oro Blu offers an upscale experience at moderate prices. Service is impeccable, the decor is elegant, the food is top notch and the ambience, though quiet at times, is pleasant, intimate and romantic. The bar offers ENORMOUS, well-mixed drinks at $10 a pop. Perfect venue for private parties or corporate events. Pros: Elegant not Pricey, Creative Menu, Professional Service Cons: Quiet neighborhood more
