Nonna Dora's 2nd Avenue

Cappelletti

Delicate hat-shaped pasta stuffed with ricotta di bufala — impossibly light with a rich, creamy filling.

Meatballs

Slow-simmered beef meatballs in a rich tomato sauce — tender throughout, with the kind of depth that signals a long braise rather than a shortcut

Garganelli Bolognese

Hand-rolled garganelli with a rich, slow-cooked bolognese that clings to every ridge — comfort food elevated.

Cacio e Pepe

Roman pasta classic with a sharp, creamy pecorino sauce and assertive black pepper — a litmus test dish that Nonna Dora's handles with care

Carbonara

Egg-yolk-enriched pasta with guanciale and pecorino, made without cream — the real Roman way, with a silky, clingy sauce

Dora's Lasagna

A multi-layered, handmade lasagna that's become a house signature — rich, decadent, and made with obvious love.

Pappardelle

Wide, silky ribbons of handmade pasta with a sauce that showcases the kitchen's mastery of texture and timing.

Housemade Pasta with Ragu

Long-braised meat ragu over fresh pasta — the kind of Sunday-sauce preparation that's the soul of this type of restaurant

Tiramisu

Classic Italian finish — espresso-soaked ladyfingers with mascarpone cream, dusted with cocoa; housemade and reliably satisfying

Ravioli per Olivia

Handmade ravioli with a delicate filling — named with care and crafted with skill.

Panna Cotta

Silky, wobbly, and just sweet enough — a perfect ending that lets the handmade pasta be the star.

Baked Cheesecake With Berry Compote

Burrata with Roasted Vegetables

Fried Calamari
