Pizzeria Orso Hosting Singles For Valentine’s Day

Falls Church restaurant encouraging singles to communicate through food.

While some couples will be out dinning with their significant others, Pizzeria Orso is inviting singles to come mingle over food on Valentine’s Day.

Chef Will Artley said couples can come to the soiree, but the four-course meal is geared toward the singles. For $40 a person, Artley said people get lobster and crab, pork cheek ravioli and some small sweet bites for dessert.

“We’re doing this to encourage people to gather and communicate through food,” Artley said. “You never know.”

The event, hosted by the food blog DonRockwell.com, will go from 6:30 p.m. through 10 p.m. on Valentine’s Day. Artley said this is the first time the restaurant has held such an event.

The event also coincides with Artley’s anniversary of the day he met the love of his life five years ago, Kim. Artley said no matter where he has worked since they met, they have found a way to celebrate meeting and love.
