Vibrant small Italian eatery serving fresh made pasta delicious dishes, with attentive service. Both of lunch dishes and desserts were very good: Fettuccini Parmigiano with chicken, Eggplant Parmigiana, Frolla, and Affogato.

The best limoncello straight. Just like New York. The service was excellent! The atmosphere was inviting. It was my first time here just for a takeout but I felt so warm and welcomed that I will be back for more. I ordered the meatballs and bread service but next time plan to order either the branzino or the veal saltimoba which are both my favorites and enjoy the environment longer! Joey the bartender was wonderful and I heard the owner was from Naples so a true Italian! He was actually eating here with his family while I was enjoying my limoncello.

I was craving pasta and came across this restaurant located near Chin Chin and Einstein Bagels. It is a casual eatery where you can talk freely amongst your friends and family which I loved. The waiters were very hospitable and attended to us swiftly. I ordered the meatballs with bread service. The meatballs are drenched in a tomato sauce and lays on a bed of ricotta? topped with Parmesan. The bread was soft in the middle and warm - I literally couldn’t stop eating it. As for the food, the pasta tasted really good! The noodles seemed like they were made in house and with the creamy peppery sauce I truly enjoyed it. Although, I love my cacio e Pepe with rigatoni this was still really good! Just a tad salty in my opinion. I would definitely come back here if I am in the area and will try the tiramisu/ affogato next time!

Quaint restaurant with cozy seating inside and out but what it lacks in size it more than makes up for in flavor and service!! My wife and I visited Nonna Dora during a recent business trip to Atlanta. We are always look for local places to eat in lieu of franchises or chains. Nonna’s did not disappoint. We started with the bread which was the perfect blend of crusty on the outside and soft/warm on the inside. The bread was served with a side of olive oil which was very good. My wife had the Margherita flatbread and I had the pasta carbonara with grilled chicken which is off menu (but needs to be on it) at the suggestion of our server. Both of our entrees were second only to the food we had in Italy!! The service was equally as good as the food with the entire staff being very attentive, welcoming, and friendly. Will definitely be visiting again when in Atlanta.

This place is an absolute gem in Sandy Springs. Delicious and authentic food paired with top tier service. It also has incredibly fair prices. We’ve been here multiple times and have never been disappointed. Great wine list and the tastiest coffee. I also recommend trying their espresso martini. It’s delish! Some of our favorite items here are the fried artichokes, arancini, ragu di carne, pesto, Fra’ diavolo, and we never skip the tiramisu. Thank you for always giving us a great experience!
