"Nonna Dora’s is strictly a pasta bar, so there are no mains to distract you. Chewy, al dente pasta is usually the standard for a satisfying bowl of carbs, but here you can also get silky handmade mezzelune and melty, layered lasagna that feels like velvet. Whether you pre-book or walk into this Kips Bay spot, try to get a seat at the bar where you can watch the bartender make whichever one of the 10 elaborate Negroni varieties you ordered." - willa moore, will hartman, neha talreja, carina finn koeppicus
