Here's an idea: If the cost thing is bothering you, why not think about it as going out for a great meal, instead of going out for pizza? What difference does it really make as long as the food is excellent? If a meal is expertly prepared and made with fine ingredients it will be a pleasure to eat. What it actually consists of is almost secondary if it's terrific.
It's very hard for two people to have an outstanding dining experience anywhere in this area, regardless of cuisine, for less than $75. But this can be done easily at Orso. So just relax and enjoy your food.
