Orno comes from Nael Rodriguez, who has worked with a number of restaurant groups in Dallas, from Lombardi to DRG Concepts to eateries such as Mesa and Mesa Maya. This will be the first place he can call his own. The central conceit will be bocaditos, or small bites.
"In Spain and Mexico, a bocadito is a bite of something," he says. "The idea will be that, when you order a cocktail, you'll get a small bite. It's very European and it makes you want to order another cocktail or beer."
