"The real-life Nonna Dora comes into her namesake restaurant in Kips Bay to make fresh pasta every morning, and the effort pays off. The move here is to order an extra pasta to share instead of an appetizer. We’d suggest a slab of Dora’s lasagna. The tissue paper layers of pasta are delicate enough for you to save room for the gnocchi with pesto or garganelli with bolognese." - willa moore, bryan kim, neha talreja, carlo mantuano
