Ornella Trattoria Italiana Coupons and Deals

Description

Scout Notes:Italians are famous for their passion for food and placing high importance on meals, which is something we can definitely respect. That passion is palpable when you walk into Ornella Trattoria in Astoria. Run by a husband/wife duo, who hale from Salerno and Torino respectively, every plate of food served up here reflects their belief that food is the forum for all communication. Starting off the conversation is a classic Antipasti list of plates such as Calamari all Griglia, Caprese con Pepperoni, and Prosciutto di Parma. In the pasta category, you won't find gnocchi any fresher than their Risotto del Mare with shrimp, calamari, diver scallops, jumbo lump crabmeat and roasted artichokes. If you like a little meat in your pasta, you'll go with the Short Ribs, which is served in a Madeira sauce and piled with fresh, handmade gnocchi that melts in your mouth. While food might be a forum for good communication, a meal at Ornella sure knows how to keep us quiet. Menu Highlights: Prosciutto di Parma, $10 Caprese con Pepperoni, $9 Gnocchi al Gorgonzola, $15 Short Ribs, $22 Hours: Mon-Wed, 12–10pm Thu-Sat, 12–11pm Sun, 11:30am–10pm
