We held our wedding rehearsal dinner at Dora’s and overall had a great experience! We were already frequent guests and knew this would be the perfect venue. The food was absolutely delicious, and everyone especially loved the Dora Ravioli. They allowed us to rent the entire restaurant for our party and were very accommodating, arranging the tables as we requested and placing our menus out for us. It was BYOB and they even allowed us to drop off our wine prior to the event, which was very helpful. Thank you Dora’s for a memorable night!

Food was excellent, service was great, & we sat outside on a beautiful day. Kind & prompt staff, good specials with a decent base menu, they had no problem allowing me to sub fries for pasta. Parpadelle was fresh, & while the chicken parm was tender with good cheese & fresh sauce, there could’ve been a little more chicken & fries on the plate for the price. Little pricey overall, but you get what you pay for here. We’ll be back! definitely want to try the vanilla cheesecake with blueberry sauce, sounds delicious!

Always constantly good experience here. Small dinning area so it can be a bit loud. Lots of larger parties.

We have visited this place many years ago and I remember it being very pleasant, with great service and food. This time food was absolutely terrible ( my husband said this was the worst shrimp scampi he has in his life). I found an eye lash in my food. An extra item was added to the bill, and when we explained that we did not order the item the waitress kept on telling us we did. Then she went to check and brought a “new” check with the item still on the bill. At that point we just didn’t wanna argue anymore so we paid. We ordered some coffee and the order was also wrong. Every tine we tried to ask something, she behaved as we were bothering her. The bathroom was disgustingly dirty and I can’t believe they do not have a changing table for families with kids. Worst 500$ spent.

Food was nice but service was subpar to say the least. They cleared the wine glasses before asking if we wanted to order a bottle of wine and then I had to wave them down 20 minutes later to tell them we were ready to order our entrees. They gave me chicken parm instead of eggplant parm and I had to wait another 15 minutes for the correct dish. They also did not return to the table after the entree was served to ask if everything was okay.

Rarely do I have an excellent experience from service to the food and location atmosphere. After our first and recent visit, Dora’s was absolutely perfect in all of the above. The service is excellent and staff really caters to make sure everything is perfect as well as were really helpful in several of our order decisions. The atmosphere is quaint and the location is a good size and perfect for a couples night out or a large group gathering. The food is fantastic! My wife ordered the salmon and I ordered the chicken Parmesan. Everything was very tasteful and cooked perfectly. We topped off the dinner with cannolis which are excellent! Overall, we are very happy to have visited this absolutely perfect restaurant and we can’t wait to revisit very soon! I highly recommend it!

Very nice restaurant. Food was excellent. Atmosphere was inviting. Service was slow, I had to ask two times for my drink to be refilled. They also did not do good quality control on the bread as several of the rolls were burnt black. Still high marks overall. The Mushroom Ravioli was delicious!

It’s just ok. Not bad but nothing amazing. The crumbled sausage over orecchiette was more like a handful of tiny sausage meatballs, and they forgot the cheese, but it still tasted good enough. Shrimp was tasty at least, almost like lobster. Boyfriend asked for angel hair pasta with his bolognese which they ignored, but it was still decent. Desserts were also just ok.
While service was quick, the bill was strange… Our order was perfectly correct on one receipt, but on the final receipt it was somehow rung up as nearly $70 more than what we actually owed. They did correct it when we brought it to their attention. I don’t want to accuse anybody of anything, but we found it odd.

Very good chicken Parmigiano. Dora’s ravioli were tasty, but 5 pieces not enough to fill me. Bread was a little crisp but pesto was good. Salad was good and lobster bisque would hit the mark but needs more lobster in it. Service was excellent for us at lunch. I would go back again.

Dora’s is a great classy Italian restaurant. We sat outside on the huge outdoor patio on a nice summer evening. Bonus – the entire patio is in the shade which kept it nice and cool on a warm day.
All of us ordered something different, and everything was delicious with healthy portions. We even ordered desserts from the extensive dessert menu. There is something for everyone.
Service was also very good and accomodating. Highly recommended!
