"At Nonna Dora’s, there are no dubious claims about bolognese being sourced from a grandma who only exists in a black-and-white stock photo on the wall. The real Nonna Dora comes into her namesake restaurant to make fresh pasta every morning. Everything at this Kips Bay spot looks amazing, and everyone is always claiming that their particular bowl of pillowy carbohydrates is to die for. You’ll see many people order an extra pasta dish to share, and this is a perfectly reasonable move." - bryan kim, neha talreja, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, tiffany yannetta
