WELCOME TO ORA
- Freestyle Italian Restaurant-
Already regarded as one of the best Italian restaurants in New Jersey, ORA is happy to welcome you to indulge in Freestyle Italian cuisine. That means respecting old world traditions. And shaking it up with modern techniques and flavors. It’s a place to have a serious meal when you want it. And also a place to meet friends at the bar for cocktails and small bites. ORA offers a wonderful experience at a downtown restaurant, right in the heart of Oradell, New Jersey.
— Food at Ora
The term “ORA” means now, or right now in Italian. And that’s what a freestyle Italian restaurant is: a full examination of Italian cooking, but viewed through the lens of what’s happening now in American cooking.
That means fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients used to prepare every dish. And a fresh twist on classic Italian dishes. And a menu with a little something for everyone.
