Ornella’s Resto

Without a doubt in my mind ALL of the positive reviews for this place are FAKE! Either friends or family members hyping up the restaurant which is HORRENDOUS!
Not a chance in hell that this place is even a two star restaurant. The location seems familiar and several restaurants have opened and closed here with no success.
I ordered the 8oz Skirt Streak w/​Mash which comes with a Chicken Soup which is pretty much ALL onions and celery. The steak was overcooked and bland absolutely zero flavor! It was so pathetic I even almost forgot to take a picture of the meal.
The young Dominican waitress was less than enthusiastic about being there and it was very obvious. I barely touched the chicken soup and she asked if I didn’t like it, which I replied «No». She then brought my steak and I had to remind her to bring me a knife, she very calmly brought it over unapologetic.
I didn’t eat it all and she asked again if I didn’t like it, once again my response was «No» I would definitely NOT return or recommend!!!
FYI! THE REVIEWS FOR THIS PLACE ARE ALL FAKE (Family and Friends)

Such a hidden gem, awesome food, wine and service. Not too crowded with a wonderful music choice making of a romantic setting. So glad I have this spot right in the corner of my house. Definitely coming more often on date nights.

Meat has a great and fresh teast. Service is friendly, professional and fast. Good wine selection great desserts. I will definitely go back and I’ll recommend it to everyone.

I was amazingly surprised with the taste and quality of the food. I had the best Bife de Chorizo I ever tried. Excelent service and definitely fair prices. will definetely come back here many times.
fue increiblemente sorprendente con gusto y calidad de la comida. tuve el mejor bife de chorizo que alguna vez probe. excelente servicio y precios justos. voy. volver muchas veces a este lugar.

I didn’t want to come here bc the previous Argentine restaurant at the same location was not great. I am so glad I came! Delicious! My kids loved it, the sangria, the parillada, everything!

The chicken was great and a large plate, nothing out of this world and nothing to make the restaurant stand out!

I passed by here last week at my lunch time. Can not tell you how much i loved it. The best rib that i tried. A smell was so good like a burned barbecue but not burned. Delicious tastes and a lot of food, super cheap price. Manager was so funny an welcome me since i got into their door. High recommended

I will highly recommend this place to everyone there service, food and desert was amazing!!! We had there house sangria and it’s by far one of the best we have had… this is a must stop and try highly recommend this place

Holy smokes what a surprise this place was delicious. We had the salmon with shrimp and fresh mushrooms and spinach. Absolutely the best item on the menu. We also had the skirt steak, when in Rome. It was good but I wish I had experimented a little, even the mixed veggies were outstanding. Do we have room for dessert??

An excellent find just west of Red Road at the turnpike and Miramar Pkwy. Go for lunch!

Get ready to eat! That’s the best advice I can give to you. Excellent food, service and ambience. Everything was delicious. From the chinchulines to the homemade Tiramisu.
The owner and server were so nice, warm and hospitable to us.
I worth the 30 min driving from Fort Lauderdale. We will come back for sure! Lovely place.

Disgusting. Horrible service, nobody speaks English, horrible steak — not even remotely fresh. Everything is old and stale.

Let me start by saying to my server. I ordered a salad, not a soup. Arguing with me about it is not how you treat your customer. I spent more time fighting the flies that kept landing on my head face and food. I asked for bread and got a very small portion. The milanesa was dry and very tough. I am an Argentine national. I know Argentine cuisine. I also work at Le Cordon Bleu. So my standards are high. But fix the fly problem Ornella and tell you wait staff not to argue with the client as to DID I ORDER SALAD OR SOUP. Ugh

Great find in a strip mall. Small family owned business. Good service and live music was entertaining without becoming overbearing.
Parillada for two was excellent and easily would have fed four. Wonderful assortment of meat. Pasta was good but didn’t compare to the meat.
Because, meat.
Red sangria is amazing-​a must!

I was blown-​away by this place. I have visited many a Argentine steak restaurants throughout South Florida throughout the years. This includes many high priced restaurants in Coral Gables and Doral. I have to say that this place stands out. The quality and preparation of the food is second to none. The service was excellent.
I Ordered the Vacio and my wife order the Entrana. Both cooked to perfection with flavorful taste. The final kicker was was the check, which came out to about $ 88.00. this includes a well-​deserved 20% tip, wine for 2 and desert!

I feel lucky I find this place !!! Everything is outstanding, the food, the ambiance and the service;. Will be back for sure !!! Highly recommended !!!

This restaurant fulfilled its significant expectations based on the reviews! It’s a little hard to find but well worth the extra effort. Bone in ribeye was excellent and cooked to order. Argentinian Malbec was very good too (nice value). The house chicken soup was excellent. A very nice dining experience from a well run family restaurant!

Amazing grilled meat, both the New york strip and short ribs that I’ve tried were grilled to absolute perfection, quality meat with the fat properly trimmed. Quodos to the Chef here! Service was okay. Great lunch specials. Will be returning regularly. 5 stars for food and presentation.

Great service. The food is amazing and rhe live entertainment was good and not annoying and loud. We odered the proveleta and the mollejas as appetizer good portion size ad very tasty. For dinner we odered the entrana and it was well cooked and tasty.

Delicious food, from the chicken soup to the skirt steaks. They have a very refreshing house made sangria and a nice wine selection. Very nice and quite low key place to enjoy a great meal.
