Nora Restaurant Reviews
This place was amazing. We were in town for the St Patrick’s day parade, and stopped here for drinks and apps. What an amazing experience from the bartender Pedro to the host Nick to the chef who sent desserts to our table. Friendly, clean, and very good! I highly recommend you stop in here.

Had been to Nora for dinner before and had a great experience. Decided to try brunch this time and was pleased service and ambiance. Tried the shakshouka as that is a favorite of mine, as well as the chicken sandwich. Also got the berry pancakes and French toast which were fine. The ambiance is really beautiful and the service is always really good. Will be back for dinner or cocktails. Great experience overall.

Nora Restaurant is a hidden gem offering a delightful dining experience. The menu features well-executed dishes, including the popular burrata, delicious risotto with mushrooms and truffles, and a hearty vegetable soup. Chef Daniele, originally from Sardinia, perfectly combines authentic Italian flavors with Sardinian touches, offering very nice Sardinia dishes and wine. The octopus was tender inside and crispy outside — simply amazing — and the suckling pig was cooked to perfection, soft and full of flavor. The service is warm and professional, with gracious and welcoming staff. The atmosphere is elegant and intimate, though sometimes lively, with charming decor. Standout dishes include the lamb soup, oxtail pasta, and pistachio gelato with deconstructed baklava for dessert. The goat cheese salad and grilled octopus as starters were wonderful, with the octopus very tender and highly recommended. Pasta dishes included the seafood pasta special of the day with copious amounts of fresh seafood, including half of a lobster, and the lamb Ragu pasta was excellent as well. Nora Restaurant is a must-visit destination for drinks, apps, or a full meal.
