My friends and I visited on a recommendation and we were not disappointed.
This is a small deli style restaurant and does not seat a huge amount of people but it did not feel crowded.
Service was friendly and professional from start to finish.
My friends and I started with blood orange Margaritas which were delicious.
I started with the fried ravioli which was utterly divine but was quite a large serving for a starter.
My main was the sausage with pappardelle. When this was served it was a completely different portion size to my friends even though we both ordered regular. The waitress did seem to think they were both the same portion but they were definitely not and after a quick conversation this was resolved with a reduction in price.
The desert for me was affogarto as there was so much food.
Their wine selection was also excellent.
I could not fault the food or wine.
If you want to go book early as this place is small and super popular.
Portions are large so go hungry.

Finally got to come here (a few weeks ago) and it was so so worth the hype! I loved all of the seafood pasta options on the day, and our star of the show was definitely the Italian fennel with anchovies parpadelle it was so so good.
I feel like this place really does pasta well without trying to be trendy or by reinventing the wheel unlike some other pasta bars in Manchester. But this is not to say that the food was ?boring? it was far from that, everything we had was clearly made with so much care.
They were always very accommodating with my friend asking to take out dairy on certain dishes which was really appreciated
Also the prices were super reasonable, with the options for smaller or larger plates. We got 4 small plates (see photo for portion sizes) and it was more than enough we couldn?t finish it all.
The only thing is it?s kinda hard to get to due to location but it is worth the trip out!
Vegetarian options: Mushroom ravioli, aubergine parmigiana, rigatoni alla vodka, cacio e Pepe ravioli
Dietary restrictions: The kitchen was able to accommodate dairy free options on certain options where dairy is added after the fact which was very nice! They also have a small vegan menu which is really great.

The single most delicious place I've ever eaten. The arancini with hot honey starter 10/10, the pistachio carbonara 10/10, the tiramasu 10/10, the pistachio and raspberries profiteroles 10/10. No criticism at all whatsoever. Perfect in every way.

Cozy cafe/restaurant.
We had some super tasty home made pasta dishes, arancini & dips, salads, cocktails. wine and Messina beer.
The food is obviously prepared with care and pride.
Everything was well above par compared to any Italian restaurants that I've previously visited in the UK.
Will return.
Booking well in advance recommended.

We really enjoyed visiting Ornellas! It is a very tiny little place but the food and service was perfect!
