From start to finish, this was an amazing experience. Every single dish we ordered was incredible ,
the pasta was perfectly cooked and full of flavor, the chicken was tender and seasoned beautifully, and the flatbread was addictive. The Brussels sprouts deserve a special shoutout because they were done exactly right. Even the coffee and dessert were the perfect ending to the meal, and the drinks were expertly made.
What truly elevated the night, though, was our waiter. He went above and beyond,attentive without being intrusive, genuinely kind, and clearly passionate about making sure we had the best experience possible. It made us feel so welcomed and taken care of.
You can tell this place cares deeply about both the food and the people dining there. We left happy, full, and already talking about what we’ll order next time. Can’t recommend it enough ,we’ll absolutely be back.

An exquisite brunch experience. At 11:30 on a frigid Sunday, tables were already filling up. No surprise. From the smiling greeters to our gracious waitress, Gianna, to the friendly manager, Andrea, you felt welcomed. The menu is creative with selections to please all palates on a Sunday whether you already had an early breakfast and just want a Small Plate or you are coming for Brunch and want to savor a dish to last you all afternoon. The
Lemon Semolina Pancake with Macerated Berries and Clotted Cream was delicious. A shared Rainbow Gelato was a perfect ending. Honestly, I’ll be talking about the coffee for a long time. Perfection.

Amazing experience here. From the moment we pulled up to the restaurant. The valet was super friendly and when I forgot my phone in the car they asked if I wanted it. The heat lamps at the entrance set the tone as warm and inviting and when we walked I. We were greeted with two lovely hostesses. The decor was very clean comfortable and upscale at the same time. Love the neutral color-ways. The server was excellent as well as the food runners. Never had to ask for anything as we were checked on efficiently. Now on to the food. Absolutely everything was we ordered was fantastic. Two order do the rack of lambs cooked perfectly medium with pillowy soft gnocchi and tri colored sauces. The Pappardelle was so tender and flavorful. The mere rigatoni perfectly al dente and right amount of spice. A pepperoni pie and fries were great. Dirty martini with bleu cheese olives were perfect. Milk chocolate creme brûlée was so so good and an espresso martini also good. 20/10 we can’t wait to go back.

We went to Ora for my birthday, and we had such a lovely experience! It was our first time, and we truly loved everything we ordered. Our waitress, Laura, was the sweetest & super attentive!
The ambiance is the perfect mix of cute, cozy, and romantic, with a modern touch that isn’t overdone. It feels elevated without being stuffy. The drinks were amazing, the food was delicious, and everything came out beautiful. I’m a creamy vodka sauce girl, and while theirs was a bit on the spicy side for me, it was still so flavorful and really well made. We will definitely be back!

Had a reservation for 4:30pm for four and we were sat on time. Reservation said strict two hour time limit, we were there a little over with no issues. Service was good, food was great for the prices. We ended up getting three appetizers and two entrees to share among the three of us and were given so issue with doing so. Tables are a little close to each other but did not feel over crowded.

After searching forever for a great date night restaurant, especially one special enough for our first date night out since having a baby, I found Ora! It was the perfect restaurant that just has that little extra ‘something’ that makes your night feel that much more special. Everything was delicious, I really don’t think you could go wrong with anything on this menu. Can’t wait to come back!

Finally was able to give this place a try and it did not disappoint. The staff were all friendly and the atmosphere inside was really nice. We even had a bit of miss communication on the steak that was ordered, which happens, but they remedied the situation with no issues.
We started with the 2 pizzas, the calamari and the meatballs. Everything was great, especially the meatballs which just melts in your mouth. The pizza was also nice and light and thin.
For our main course, i ended up with the ribeye which was really good and also has to be sed that this was cooked to perfection, some of the best Ive seen. I also tried the rigatoni was really good and had a bit of heat to it. We also ordered the potatoes (see picture) which was beautifully presented and equally as tasty.
For the dessert, we had their cheesecake. The burnt top was a nice touch. The soft serve ice cream with olive oil was also very good.
The one thing that was different about this place is that you do need to order everything at once. Meaning you can put in an appetizer while thinking about your mains. Overall, very nice place and definitely recommend.

We came here for brunch on a rainy weekend. I made a reservation to ensure we had a confirmed spot. Upon arrival we got the see the beautiful interior of the restaurant, with gorgeous modern furnishing. There was a huge bar area on the opposite end of the dining areal.
The menu had small plates, pastas and popular brunch entrees. We started with the calamari that was a small dish but really good quality. Loved the marinara sauce it came with. I got the steak and egg for entree, another excellent dish. Flavorful steak, cooked to correct temperature, and decent amount. The kid’s pasta was also super tasty.
The service was nice overall. Our whole family had a wonderful time at brunch. Loved the overall upscale atmosphere.

Lots to like about this place, relaxing, cozy, not too loud, attentive service. Just my wife and I, had a nice salad, papadelle a oxtail, then a bronzino la plancha style, everything enjoyable and nicely portioned. Ended w a bread pudding, was on point as well. A little pricey, but a nice place to go, we liked it. They gave us each a piece of bread, that was nice.
