We’ve used Ornella since Covid when we were getting home cooked meals. Wouldn’t have thought that it could ever get any better than that, but every time we eat here, every meals goes up a level.Tonight was a 3 course collection. Arancini to start with hot honey, minted lamb and spicy sausage pappardelle main courses with sourdough garlic break and skin on fries (all the carbs covered!). Got 2 cannolis for our desert later on when the kids are in bed and we’re a bottle of wine down.Amazing as always - thanks Ornella and team.(PS - my photos don’t do it justice!)

I have just been for an incredible lunch at Ornella's Kitchen. Every dish was faultless and thoroughly enjoyable. Decent portions and reasonably priced. Thank you for making a hungry pregnant lady very happy! I will be booking again soon.

Wanted to try this place for ages! Food amazing!! Such good quality ingredients. Staff very friendly and attentive, lovely relaxed atmosphere. We ordered small plates to try lots off the menu. Garlic bread was unreal! Can highly recommend and will be returning.

Delicious! Everything is amazing. From the quality of the food to the portions and the staff. Even the deli (we didn't taste yet the canolli, we are still stuffed, hahahaha). I will update when we do it.Totally recommend!

Mushroom ravioli & pistachio carbonara were the best 2 pasta dishes of my life. The sticky toffee tirimasu was also
The place was lovely! Our waiter Lucy was amazing, polite, friendly and welcoming. 5 stars for the front of house staff!Unfortunately despite all the amazing reviews on Google, the food was just good. Not bad, but not amazing. The Lobster Ravioli was nice but couldn't really taste the lobster. The tomato basil sauce covering the plate was good though.The Mint Lamb Shoulder Ragù just wasn't it. It was just watery, unseasoned, and had bits of bone in it. The mint in the dish is just 2 small mint leafs placed on top. Not incorporated into the flavour of the dish at all. Wouldnt recommend this dish at all.The truffle parmagian skin on chips were nice. Couldn't taste any truffle (maybe its just truffle oil?) but the parmigian was nice.The mango cider was really nice though. If you find yourself here, I'd say avoid the lamb and treat yourself to a cider.Overall, the experience was okay. The prices are reasonable and the staff are lovely. Just the food left us leaving slightly underwhelmed.

Obviously the food is tremendous! Although is it wrong to say I preferred the carbonara I make at home? Ha haCan’t wait to go again and try some other things on the menu.The only downside is the size of the place, it’s tiny and is slightly off putting.
Fabulous lasagne.
