This place is a little gem. A small Italian restaurant in Haughton Green. I'd give this place 10 out of 10. Been here many many times and will continue to come. The food is fantastic and staff excellent.

This is my favourite restaurant. It is family owned and I consider it the best place to eat locally. The food is extremely tasty and well presented. The decoration is colourful. The staff/family are very friendly and go out of their way to welcome you into their restaurant. It is a great place to celebrate a birthday, or any other occasion.

Hard to believe we have been going here for almost ten years. The food is outstanding. My partner tried the steak for the first time and he said it was better than steaks he had in many of the major restaurants in Manchester city centre. Alma and the family make every visit special and it's always a pleasure to return. You will not be disappointed by the food or the friendly service that awaits you.

Lovely little Italian hidden out the back of haughton green. The lady that served us was polite and attentive, she made sure we had everything we needed. We dined off the early bird menu as it was a Thursday, the food was lovely as always and the prices were very reasonable. Service was quick but the food was fresh so expect a small wait. The atmosphere is always pleasant and relaxed.100% recommend for any occasion or none at all. Have been with kids before and they are always great with them as well.

Lovely little Italian, the food was delicious and the staff were very friendly. Fair prices for the food we had. Both myself and my friend went to Benvenuto for a meal last night. We shared a garlic bread, it was nice and thin and crispy. We both had the early bird menu so 2 courses for £17.00. I had pork ribs and my friend had cheezy mushrooms to start and then I had tagliatelle gamberoni and my friend had the canneloni, everything was beautifully presented and very tasty. I Would recommend.

We had a delicious meal here last night, as a party of 4 on a special occasion. This restaurant is a little gem and we will definitely go again. We were offered the main menu and an early bird menu. All four of us chose from the early bird menu and everyone enjoyed their meal. The service and atmosphere were excellent. We were turned away from Sweet Treats in Denton, even though there were lots of empty tables, as it was Ramadan and they were anticipating people within the half hour. Unbelievable. But they did us a big favour because we have now found this lovely authentic Italian restaurant. Thanks for a great evening Benvenuto x

We had the Early Bird menu. There was a good selection and the price was very reasonable. The taste of the food was good. However, the portion you receive is child sized. For example, Some of our party had sea bass which was lovely, but this came with 3 halves of a baby potato and a teaspoon of veg. Not enough for an adult and you come out hungry afterwards. Some other tables had the full price menu which looked good portions. The moral is - you get what you pay for so don't bother with the early bird menu. They have to make their money somewhere!!

The food and menu are really authentic and there is something really honest about the atmosphere which makes this place feel like home from home. We all talked about how it reminded us of some our favourite Italian restaurants of old .. which have now changed to become ‘trendy’ and lost their charm. The service was also excellent despite being full to the brim! I will definitely return and tell others to do the same

I have been a big supporter of this restaurant as myself and my wife have been here many times and promoted it in the area, I now look like a fool. Unfortunately they have reduced the quality of their food. It’s obvious that now the starters are pre packed frozen. I had the mozzarella in breadcrumbs. The sirloin steak I ordered medium rare was so thin it looked like a cheap sizzle steak from a supermarket that could not be cooked rare as just a look at some heat meant it was overdone £22!. The Diane sauce was green and not very tasty. I gave feedback to the staff at the time and would not put this post if they had fed back to the kitchen. When I gave the feedback the waiter said he would let the kitchen know. I watched him walk in the kitchen and walk back out without saying a word and just take orders from arriving customers. Will not be going back! I don’t mind paying more for good food, but don’t charge more for cheap produce!!!

Well, I don't usually leave reviews but on visiting Ornella's Kitchen I was compelled to. We are new to the area, love our food and began to research what we had on offer. We found Ornella's at the top of our suggestions. We read through some of their reviews and were sold on booking a table. On contacting the restaurant we were told their evenings were booked up until March! Now, for me, that speaks for itself. We managed to book a table for breakfast/brunch at 10am. Upon arrival the staff were lovely, the environment is very welcoming and warm. The restaurant doesn't seat many at once and this adds to the comfortable and homely feel of the restaurant. We sat looking through the menu and had trouble deciding as everything sounded so enticing. Then we were told that the WHOLE menu is available all day! Which you can imagine troubled our decision making even further. Finally we made our decisions. The meatballs and sourdough were excellent, simple, authentic food, absolutely full of flavour and the tomato sauce was to die for. The poached pear, gorgonzola and walnut salad was lively, fresh and had a wonderful balance of sweet from the pear and the earthiness of the cheese with the walnuts in between. The burrata, fig and radicchio salad was beautifully creamy, the figs were the perfect accompaniment, not too sweet and give an added texture. Also just to add, it was presented on the plate beautifully. The potato bun was also fantastic, the flavour of the gaunciale, that lovely, caramelised flavour from the fat that soaks into the freshly baked bun. The sweetness of the tomatoes, the freshness of the salad with parmesan and the perfectly fried egg made this the poshest bacon and egg sandwich I've ever had and also the best one too! Of course I HAD to order a portion of the skin on truffle oil and parmesan chips to the table too and again they were absolutely delicious, beautifully crispy and bursting with flavour. We finished our meal with a traditional Sicilian cannoli, chocolate chip, cream filled with little fruit compote on either end, one citrus peel and the other cherry. Again, not too sweet and the perfect way to finish our meal. Overall, we give Ornella's top marks. There was absolutely nothing about our experience that wasn't spot on. We are booked in again for early next year, you should treat yourself and do the same. You will not be disappointed. Thank you to everyone at Ornella's 😊

Music too loud. It spoilt our night constantly saying ‘can you say that again’. On the whole food was good. Service could have been a tad better.
