My wife, reading the NJ Monthly constantly gets me trying new restaurants pretty much anywhere. We are today it was Ora. Great ambiance, full bar and pretty terrific food. We started off with a salad, followed by a short rib pizza for my wife and a Mafalda pasta dish for myself. Can't really complain about either of the dishes or the salad. They were really very good. I started it off with a bloody mary while my wife had a glass of Nebiollo. Good bloody mary by the way. Today we came here at early afternoon, so we're thinking we may need to come here at night sometime to see what it's like. Once again my wife picked a good one. We started their version of a Caesar salad, which was very good. My wife craves pizza, so she went for the Short Rib pie, while I went with the Malfade pasta... Mafalde (a la carbonara, guanciale, egg yolk, pecorino & black pepper)... a dish I would order again and again. Trouble was the pizza looked so good... I just had to have a 'bite' and we ended up sharing both meals. We finished by sharing a Gelato for dessert, which was fantastic. There was a 'name' for it, but I'll be damned if I can remember it or find out what it's called online. Regardless... it goes without saying... we'll be back! read more

First time at the restaurant. Josh was an excellent host, and guide to want to order. Food was delicious. Ambiance was great. Will definitely return! read more

Ambiance: it is what gives it automatic 3 stars... food: ribeye- great flavor but presentation super basic, literally its just the meat. For price being paid, plate should have also another small side, or butter on the meat, or roasted garlic on the plate... literally anything else... drinks are specialized and for that they did a very good getting their point in the glass... my drink tasted like vacation Dessert: best gelato, very competitive. Service: without judging character very, informative could be a more ppl person but it was end of the night probably tired. Host young guy very cool and helpful. Wish i could give 3.5 stars Definitely worth a try, read more

I went for dinner tonight with my friends. I'll say the ambiance and drinks were great! I loved the whole vibe of the place and our waitress is so friendly. However, my food was lackluster. It wasn't necessarily bad but my pasta was a little salty for my liking. I'd go back but try something else I think. read more

My husband and I came for an anniversary brunch. The service was good and attentive. I do want to come back and try the dinner menu. I tried the smoked salmon pasta, and a pizza. The pasta was al dente. The smoked salmon is on the salty side, but that's to be expected. The star of the meal was honestly the Gelato. The Gelato was sweet and salty - I'd go back purely for the Gelato. I didn't care for my mocktail. It was too sour for me. read more

A late-night craving has a way of rewriting the evening. Just after 9:00 p.m. on a Friday, my better half--who rarely asks for pizza--turned and said, "I'm craving pizza." No hesitation. Andiamo. That's how we found ourselves at ORA FreeStyle Italian--a spot rooted in cucina italiana moderna, where tradition meets a more contemporary hand. Arriving late is always a gamble, but we were warmly welcomed and guided through a simple, satisfying order. The cacio e pepe arancini were crisp and golden with a creamy center and a subtle Calabrian chili kick--playful, yet familiar. The Margherita pizza followed--semplice, ma perfetto: bright San Marzano tomato, soft mozzarella, fresh basil, and just enough char. A glass of Eroica Riesling brought a clean, slightly sweet balance--un equilibrio perfetto--to the savory spread. The space, with exposed beams and warm wood, feels both modern and inviting. A glimpse of dry-aged steaks near the dining room promises a return visit. Sometimes the best meals aren't planned--they happen proprio adesso.

Went here for a baby shower upstairs, we had a buffet. The food was absolutely amazing. There was a salad, vodka pasta, short rib, chicken, potatoes, and veggies along with Arancini at the table. Everything was delicious and there was more than enough food. I would highly recommend this place the food could not have been better. I wish I could have ate more. read more

This is the place to be!! Just when entering this restaurant you're greeted with beautiful decoration for the holiday season. You can tell someone put great time into the aesthetic of the restaurant. We had a reservation upstairs and it was a beautiful space to dine, comfy and cozy! Our waiter was PHENOMENAL!! Shoutout to Donnie, he was charismatic, attentive and very kind. He checked in on us quite often even though we could tell he was busy, and never failed to come with a smile on his face. Now the food was the main show of course. We ordered pizzas, mussels and the meatballs. My personal favorite were the mussels, I really felt like I could drink the sauce it was so delicious For my main I had the garganelli pasta, it had a perfect balance of mushrooms and cheese, truly creating a warm delicious meal. I would love to come back to try their other menu items, I'm especially eyeing their desserts! (I would give a perfect 5 but we did have to wait a bit for our table, understandably a busy holiday season) read more

Service was fast. Servers were friendly. Food was good. Extremly expensive for what you get. You literally are sitting on top of each other. Tables are real close together. They rush you out. Hostess said you can sit down and eat but you have to be done by 830 . It was 640. They did rushed us out. Got grouper for $42.00 very small .Comes with nothing. Also no parking. Valet parking. Plenty of places to go, that you can relax .Enjoy a meal at a reasonable price and not feel you have to hurry up and leave . Two people $175.00 plus tip. If you like getting robbed this place is for you. read more

We had a great experience at Ora. It was our first time there and it was very impressive. The ambiance was very modern, yet still had a quaintness to it. Noise level was great. The hosts were all smiling and attentive! Our server Ed was friendly and knowledgeable and did not hesitate when we asked his opinion. The food was delicious, we started with the baked clams, nicely balanced with crumbs to stuffing ratio. The entrees were excellent, my guest had the Scallops special, cooked perfectly, cooked through but not rubbery. Very flavorful. I had the double cut pork chop, again, cooked perfectly, not easy to do. They were accompanied by thick cut fries. It was delicious. We finished with what I could only call a cross between a crème brûlée and cheesecake. I highly recommend Ora in Oradell. read more

Went to Ora for dinner for two with reservations. Parked a block away in the street but they do have valet parking. Upon arrival we were seated immediately. The hostess was very friendly. Upon sitting down we were treated by our waitress. We ordered cocktails. The margarita was overly sour. I like sour but this was over. The presentation of the cocktail was nice however. Appetizers: The Caesar salad (has a different name on the menu) but this was very good. I wish the lettuce was cut smaller so I had to use a knife to eat it. Nonetheless it was good. The meatballs were good, not the best but still good. The toast had good flavor but it was very hard even when you dip it in the sauce so I did not finish this. As my entre I ordered the branzino. This was delicious. The creamed spinach was also delicious and the presentation was interesting. Lastly, the service was a bit disappointing. Our waitress seemed out of it or at least disinterested in serving this night and it unfortunately showed. I like to give people grace so I still tipped her 20%. I hope all is well with her but attention and service is part of the experience as a paying customer. All in all, the atmosphere is very nice and the decor as well. It is a nice place to go for a date night, out with friends or to host a celebration as they have event space and a bar upstairs. I went to an event last month and it was great! read more

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. read more

ALL DELICIOUS However, I will be pissed off if they don't do the following. They had a swordfish milanese, which is outstanding and out of this world They better bring that back, hopefully seasonal.

ORA FreeStyle Italian - Ribeye - Italian Near Me - Oradell, New Jersey

ORA was the perfect choice for my birthday dinner. It did not disappoint. We started off with cocktails: Dirty Martini and the Cigar Box. Both were perfect. The starter bread was fresh and butter was amazing. We ordered the sheep's milk ricotta and the cacio e Pepe arancini. Both were fabulous, but that ricotta was special. In between service, crumbing the table was key. I love that unasked touch. I make a mess with my bread and I prefer it clean at the start of each course. Next course we went with the meze rigatoni. Amazing. Entrees: Lamb Special and the Porcini rubbed filet mignon. Both were outstanding. Sides: herbed polenta fries and charred broccolini. I didn't have much room left, this was a challenge getting these down, but when they're good, there is room. Finished off the night with an espresso martini. The waiter was knowledgeable and assisted me with pairing a glass of wine with each course. Tremendous place. Will definitely be back. read more

This is our second time here, and it was New Year's Eve. We had a 9:00 reservation, but met at 830 for a pre dinner cocktail. There is a beautiful bar upstairs with a bar and lounge seating. My only complaint for this restaurant is they serve NYC pours. I hate getting mini martinis. The bartenders use shot glasses, very amateurish. We were seated at 9-15 and it's a younger but energetic crowd. We had a great server, young girl. We had a great meal and the portions were huge. We started with Harvest Salad, Gem Salad, Burrata Caponata and Funghi Pizza. My favorite was pizza and gem salad. To be honest I was full by then. Dinners were very good, but not as good as the apps. For dinner we had the parppardelle short rib, pork chop, branzino and cauliflower. All good portions were very good and well priced. The pork chop was the most expensive, 54, but it was a huge double cut cook medium For desert we had the bread pudding and a gelato with espresso shot. The gelato was the winner. With 4 wines and 1 drink, altogether 350, not too bad for New Years Eve. I'd definitely recommend except for the martinis read more

I usually start my reviews by touching on the ambiance and service, then the food. But, the food was so damn I'm starting this way! I like to start with pizzas and got the Parma Pizza. The bread was so fluffy and filling. The pizza was on the thinner side, which I like, and the goat cheese, fig jam, and prosciutto complimented one another so well. Special shoutout to the goat cheese, sensational. Then had the Bucatini and Malfalde. Starting with the bucatini, it was genuinely one of the best pasta dishes I've ever eaten. Thank you to our server, Miguel, who was excellent and recommended that I get it! The pecorino and pistachio, yum! It also had green beans, which was surprisingly delicious for me considering I don't like green beans. The Malfalde was similarly excellent and the guanciale packed a punch. One of the most memorable meals I have had in a very long time. I am definitely coming back. read more

ORA Freestyle Italian 304 Kinderkanack Rd. Oradell, NJ 07649 I previously posted about this location and decided to stop by for another taste. The CP still available on Mondays only, but I was more than grateful when I was informed that a side of mezzi rigatoni is now available for an upcharge. I am pleased that management was receptive to my previous constructive criticism. As always, the CP was just as excellent as my prior experience. If I ever were to rate top five parms, ORA would definitely make the list. In addition to a phenomenal meal, the service was outstanding. My server Fabio was very attentive and he made sure I was taken care of. The staff is very friendly and they make me feel right at home. #ora #chickenparmesan #mezzirigatoni #rigatoni #halfrigatoni #oradellnj read more

My first dining experience at Ora was excellent! I was impressed with the layout of the restaurant. With two floors, there is plenty of space for large and small parties. Both floors have an open bar area. Our waiter, Tim, was very accommodating and provided us with great service throughout our time at Ora. For a party of 5, we ordered quite a few of the small plates. We loved the presentation and serving size for each plate. It was perfect without us feeling too full for our main course. Small plates ordered include the clams casino, fried calamari, seafood salad, burrata and beet salad, and a wood fired Margherita pizza. Everything was delicious! My favorites included the burrata and beet salad and the clams casino. Our main courses also delivered in taste and presentation. We ordered the swordfish Milanese, roasted grouper, bucatini, and the pesto ravioli special. Simply delicious! We ended our meals with espresso martinis, coffee, bread pudding, and polenta cake. The dessert highlight was definitely the Ora espresso martinis. There was an extra layer of coffee foam that made it a special standout. I will easily visit again for Ora's ambiance, exceptional service, and quality eats! It's the perfect spot to have a special occasion or meet up with friends and family. Thank you Ora for a wonderful meal. read more

I've been to Ora 6x now (oops!) and there is nothing but good things to say! In the mood for an after work outdoor cocktail? dinner date? private event? The outdoor and inside seating options provide for bar seating, booths, tables, and high tops. Shoutout to the awesome Italian bartenders who create the best cocktails. There is valet available as well as street parking. I highly recommend the crispy potatoes, chopped salad, ravioletti, pork chop, tuna app, and the special ravioli dish. read more

Food and ambiance was a 4, and service was a 5. Our waitress was not new to the trade and knew what she was doing. It was very crowded and somewhat loud but for some reason it was not an issue. We went into the car area afterwards and found a very tempting space to dine in as well. The fried calamari was fried perfectly and was not chewy, seemed fresh and tasty. My salad, the chopped salad with some meat and provolone was nicely dressed and delicious. The clams casino were their recipe and own version - they were good, but I'd prefer the old recipe and likely not order again. Two of us took down the delicious butterflied and crispy skinned branzino. Along with the short rib ragu pasta and the pasta with the scampi sauce and rock shrimp, all 4 entrees were home runs. Only one dessert, an amazing homemade vanilla gelato with several other tasty ingredients including olive oil was just a little heavy handed with the rock salt. All in all, I'd return in a heartbeat. A great place serving really good food with great service. read more

My daugther have call an hour in advance on Monday night for RSVP. However the hostess was rude and told my teenager the place was full, the only thing available was the bar table. When we went to the actual place there were still tables and not just the bar opened. We ordered the Sweet squash, pizza and MEZE RIGATONI.

There's definitely a great buzz around Bergen for this new Italian hot spot, Ora. The dining areas are spacious, great design elements throughout and the noise level is just fine for having conversation - nice work on that as this place filled up quite a bit on this wintery Thursday evening. Service is attentive and professional. A slight botch with my "Cigar Box" bourbon but that was corrected quickly. They were also great at accommodating our birthday cake for our friend during dessert (although of course we still took a peek at the dessert menu). Nice variety of well crafted apps, pizzas, entrees and desserts, nice array of by-the-glass and full bottle selections and awesome cocktail ideas! Appetizers consisted of Pt Judith Calamari - great but could have had more peppers, the meatballs (great!) and the prosciutto- very lean! Wood fire Margarita pizza also hit the spot! For dinner, my lamb shank was delicious and plentiful. The mix of flavors and accompaniments paired well. My friend's Orata (like a Bronzino) was white, flaky, and flavorful. My wife and son had the rigatoni, which was also great, and our star for the evening had the pasta with short rib - how can you ever go wrong with that?! Chef Tom Silvestri is on a roll here - the menu preparation is well thought out and all our dishes were great! Can't wait to return soon! Heard from a friend we bumped into at the bar that Ora has some great lunch options as well, for all you River Edge and Oradell folks nearby! Enjoy!! read more

Ambiance was beautiful. Decorated so pretty for the holidays. Our server was great and super friendly. Gave us great suggestions as it was our first time. The four of ordered the meatballs which were delicious and soft. Had a little kick to them but it was good. We also ordered a mortadella pizza that was out of this world and reminded us of Italy. I had the baby lamb chops for my entree and they were cooked to perfection. They came with gnocchi which were light and fluffy. I had an affogato for dessert and I liked their preparation of it - nice twist! Wine list was awesome. Definitely will be coming back and hopefully next time get to experience the bar. read more

There has been a lot of buzz regarding this restaurant and I had to check it out. I would advise on having reservations beforehand because they get packed quickly. They were able to seat my family without a reservation and let us know that we had a little under 2 hours at a table. I think the service may have been a little too attentive. Like it felt like they wanted us to quickly eat our food to remove anything they could as soon as possible. Felt like we were constantly being eyed and ate quicker than normal. Although we were told we would get bread and had to ask again after we were finished with our appetizers because they forgot. I really enjoyed the octopus and the sauces that came with it. The salad we had was fresh but thought was a little on the average side. The Cavatelli was a little too salty and the sausage was a little overbearing. I enjoyed the rigatoni a lot more! The branzino was delicious and perfect to eat with the rigatoni. I will say that you will leave stuffed unlike other fine dining places. The decor and whole aesthetic was beautiful and clean. Like they will replace your plates/utensils that you used on your appetizers and remove any food on the table in between. I would probably go again and try other options. As a whole, I would recommend trying this place out! read more

Ora exceeded every expectation I had and provided an unforgettable dining experience. Originally we had a 9:30 PM reservation, we arrived early and were accommodated at 8 PM on a busy Friday night which is a true testament to their impeccable service. While we waited we enjoyed drinks in their upstairs lounge which was a cozy library vibe with comfortable seating, mood lighting, and a knowledgeable bartender. Once they called us maybe 20 min later we were seated, we started with the caviar cannoli and octopus small plate. The cannoli's dramatic smoke presentation. The octopus had a burst of flavor in every bite. For entrées I chose the butternut squash raviolette, and my fiancé opted for the swordfish Milanese. Both dishes were nothing short of spectacular.. we savored every bite, leaving not a crumb behind. To end the evening we shared the vanilla gelato with honey and rosemary, topped with a caramel brittle which actually was a perfect harmony of sweetness and sophistication. I was skeptical when we ordered it bc I didn't know how rosemary in gelato would be. Ora impressed us with its thoughtful attention to detail, from presentation to flavor, and we're already planning our next visit when their menu shifts to spring/summer. read more

Ecstatic a modern and decent Italian restaurant opened in Oradell! Adds to the town's aesthetic. My family went there for my mom's birthday dinner, and we all enjoyed our meals. However, the Pt. Judith Calamari ($19) and the Squid Ink Linguini ($34) were the hits of the night. One of the best fried calamari's, and the linguini was so soft and flavorful. My mom got the Swordfish Milanese ($35). Nothing too crazy. It almost just tasted like Parmesan chicken. My husband got the Roasted Half Chicken Scarpariello ($33). He thought it tasted a bit bland, as a chicken lover. To be fair, he prefers stronger flavors like Peruvian Chicken, though. I got the Ravioletti ($32); it was simple and tasteful, but wish the raviolis were slightly bigger. I wanted ricotta cheese to burst in my mouth with every bite, but the raviolis were so tiny... The honeynut squash was enjoyable. With it, I also got a limoncello mocktail ($12; it may have been the Green Goddess). It was super sweet; basically lemonade. Nothing too crazy. Service was okay. There's valet parking available, or you can street park nearby. Borderline 4 stars, but giving them 5 to give them a boost. read more

This was my first time dining at ORA and I loved the atmosphere! The food here was good as well, some dishes better than others. I definitely recommend the calamari, octopus, ora salad, and bianco pizza (white pizza- great if you love garlic since it's heavy on the garlic sauce). The cacio e Pepe aranchi was alright, and the rigatoni was on the spicier side (bit too spicy). read more

Street Parking but has a very quick curbside valet service. ORA is one of those typical Northern Bergen County restaurants. Spend a lot of money on decor and design. (On a weeknight?) have 4 young hostesses greet you at the door? Too much and you're paying for it. Happening, loud bar\lounge area on 1st floor with one dining room. Second floor has a large dining area that can be partitioned off for various sized parties. Nice... I saw a 2nd bar inside one of these rooms that an active party was going on in. My only problem is that its a Ramsey\Ridgewood-type place ( including pricing) on Kinderkamack Road in Oradell. (if you know you know). Nonetheless between Ora and the fairly new Oak House down the block, maybe Oradell is changing. But be prepared to go $125pp+ easily if you have some drinks. Good cocktail list; was not impressed with wine list. Drinks were good. Service was excellent. But again, the main reason for going was The Food. Menu was OK, mid-sized. A little of this and that. Chef likes his Calabrian chili oil. But most ( not all) of the food we tried was just OK. We had & shared.... --ORA CHOPPED SALAD with salami, prosciutto-cotto, provolone, iceberg, radicchio, ceci, pepperoncini, and sicilian oregano vinaigrette. This was very good, tasty. Italian oregano goes a long way. Tasted very similar to a Jersey Mike's Submarine hero without the bread. (I'm a fan of Jersey Mike's when you cannot get to a real old school Italian deli) --CACIO E PEPE ARANCINI (rice balls) with calabrian chili aioli; 4 small golf ball sized and totally not worth it. --Food-fired pizzas ( 6 small slices); we had the MONTANA that had gold potatoes, fontina cheese, sweet onions, rosemary, and garlic confit. This was very good and everyone loved it. Must try other pizzas if I go again. --HERBED POLENTA FRIES (side dish) with parmigiano, black garlic aioli was very good. --TUSCAN CREAMED KALE (side dish) with caciocavallo provolone, black truffle oil, and parmigiano with fire roasted, chili oil, crispy shallots... A little too charred; tough; hard to cut into. Only item we did not finish. Entrees.... --ROASTED GROUPER with warm spring farro salad, favas, asparagus, sugar snap peas, roasted chickpeas, and lemon-herb yogurt; I tried; I liked; Lightly seasoned; tasty; but a good dish when you want something light. --RAVIOLETTI (mini ravioli) with English peas, lemon zest, parmesan broth, and tendrils. This was a major disappointment. It tasted ok but there was almost no stuffing in any of them. Light dish as there is no tomato sauce but a rip off at $32. This needs to be taken off the menu and replaced with a non insulting dish. Dessert..... --BRIOCHE BREAD PUDDING with vanilla anglaise, valhrona chocolate, mascarpone was very good but the chocolate is very pronounced and overpowers he rest. Noticeably small serving. --CHEESECAKE "BRUSCIATA" with roasted apples, salted caramel, brown sugar streusel; Again small round piece BUT tons of flavor; Best thing on the menu all night! Soooo good. In closing; Very nice atmosphere; very good service; but the food vs the prices? IMO, no. Good if you live near and don't care about value for your dollar. read more

The ambiance, food & servers was top notch. Highly recommend for a girls night out or special event.

The service and atmosphere at ORA are excellent. One of the coolest places to dine out in Bergen County. They also have a large, ambient bar area. It was nice to grab a drink while we waited for a table. The food is overall very good. We loved the meatballs, and my bucatini was deliciously delicate and nutty. Manhattan-level pasta in my opinion. I didn't personally love the pizza. It was good but not outstanding. I personally would order something else to share next time. We will be back! read more

Our first time at Ora and was very excited about trying Ora after following them on socials for quite some time. Let me say, food was phenomenal. Absolutely no question about that. Ordered the meatballs and chopped salad for appetizers, and their version of spicy rigatoni and the mafalde. So so so good and delicious. The reason why I am not giving 5 stars was the service. We chose to sit outside because it was a beautiful night and we were the only ones out there to start. Service was great until we stopped eating our mains. We were sitting with our food in front of us for about 20-30 minutes and no sight of our waiter. Other servers have come and passed us but no one was coming to clear/see if we wanted boxes and see dessert menus. We figured it was just busy inside but at a certain point we had to flag someone down to get our server to take our food. When she eventually came back it was like nothing happened and no explanation for what was taking so long. We ordered some espresso martinis and then she gave us our check, another 15-20 minute wait to take it back. We were so confused about what happened half way through our dining experience. We would not have minded if we were given some kind of explanation for the delays but no it was like nothing was wrong. We watched people that came after us come and leave and we were still sitting there with our food. I hope this was just a fluke because we will definitely be back for the delicious food. read more
