Orta Trattoria and Lounge — Restaurant in Kingston

I've been to so many restaurants all over Massachusetts and Rhode Island, many of the top rated places in New England. I was really excited about this place. The food wasn't bad, but it just fell short. My Tagliatelle mushroom dish was flavorless and had to be the skinniest Tagliatelle I've ever had. Bread they brought to the table was 3 tiny pieces almost like cornbread. Dipping oil was just a plate of oil and a swirl of balsamic, nothing in it, no parmesan, salt and pepper, and no salt and pepper on the table. I'm looking for that amazing basket of some type of bread out of the oven, soft and warm inside w/a crusty outside, dipping in great oil with flavors. Eggplant app was ok. drinks were ok, very small, seemed weak. I thought this was going to be one of the best places to eat. I'm the one who brings back family and friends. Nothing really was great. However probably the friendliest staff I've ever met. The website and pictures looked like a 5 star place, everything was but the food. I apologize but thank you for...

If you’re looking for the best gluten-free food on the South Shore, this is the place. I’m honestly blown away by how incredible their gluten-free options are. The gluten-free pizza here is hands down the best I’ve ever had—the crust is so perfectly crunchy I don’t know how they pull it off. You’d never guess it’s gluten free.

Their gluten-free pasta dishes are just as amazing, with rich flavors and perfect texture. The menu has so many gluten-free choices that it actually feels fun to order, instead of limiting.

What makes it even better is that all of my friends who don’t have food allergies were just as thrilled with their meals, so it’s a win for everyone at the table. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the service is top-notch. Chef Dave himself even came out to greet us and check in, which made the whole experience feel extra personal.

Whether you’re gluten-free, celiac, or just want a great night out with amazing food, this South Shore gem delivers. I can’t...

During our recent visit, the staff demonstrated exceptional warmth and accommodation. The space is nicely decorated, including with a hand-painted mural in one corner of the dining area. Our party shared the cavatelli funghi and the baked gnocchi al forno, accompanied by a children's serving of spaghetti with Parmesan sauce. Our beverage choices included a Second Wind IPA, a house Cabernet, and a child's lemonade, resulting in a total bill slightly exceeding $100.

While the meal was satisfactory, it failed to make a significant impression. The cavatelli stood out as the highlight, but both adult entrees lacked the expected infusion of signature herbs, specifically sage in the cavatelli and basil in the gnocchi. Additionally, both dishes were notably undersalted. Considering the price point, we believe there are superior dining options available in the greater...
