Great little restaurant to stop as we came out of NYC. Lamb and Chicken Milanese were both excellent. Wait staff was kind and attentive. Reasonably priced. Highly recommend.

Took a friend there visiting from CA, but the lunch was unimpressive. It used to be real good, but the food was bland. We both had the lunch pizzas which were excellent in the past, but not that day. Patio is nicer than it was in the past, for what it's worth.

This restaurant held a lovely date night for my boyfriend and me. Great food and great service!We made reservations but made it early in which they were completely accommodating. It’s BYOB and we walked in with a bottle of rosé. They opened it for us and brought along a wine bucket stand. The service was outstanding. Started with the fried mozzarella. A glorified mozzarella stick in patty form but SO delicious because of the fresh mozzarella. It comes with three patties. We ordered the Orecchiette and the Rigatoni alla Torino to share. The sizable shrimp was made great. The sauce was light and all of the ingredients complimented each other nicely. The meat sauce on the rigatoni was complex and sweet.The waiter warned us that the chocolate soufflé would take a while because it was made in house. ABSOLUTELY! It’s a must. Decadent and rich.A cute outdoor atmosphere due to COVID restrictions, but a GREAT experience overall!

Atmosphere was lovely.. waitress was nice, but forgot things and didn't bring my daughters drink at all.. my husband asked to wrap his food and she didn't bring it back.. food was ok, nothing to brag about. We were there celebrating my daughters birthday and she asked for citrus vinaigrette for her salad and they brought her olive oil she didn't realized until she began eating it and at that point it was ruined.. we won't be going back..

Everything I’ve had here is amazing, I always get beef carpaccio because it is one of the best appetizers they have. I’ve gotten a variety of meals which were great every time. No disappointments here at all. It is a little pricey, but I’m willing to pay for good food.

We were pleasantly surprised when we stopped at Dora's for an early dinner. Although the wine (no beer available here) seemed a little expensive, the price was for a bottle made at a local vineyard and was good. I ordered a chilled gaspacho fot an appetizer and loved it... mmmm! The lasagna was also pretty good and my wife liked her meal as well.The outdoor setting was very pleasant.

Dora's food is delicious. The Restaurant dresses all the tables with white crisp tablecloths. Dora's is quaint cozy and serves are very personable. We dine there often and have never been dissatisfied with food or service.A great place for pastas, fish, steak, salads and daily specials. We highly recommend Doras...

The most delicious Italian food I have ever experienced - try the Lobster Ravioli in Saffron Sauce and the Rigatoni and you'll be transported to foodie heaven! Attentive service, charming decor, and wine sold by the bottle - great value for your money! Call ahead to make sure you have a table - dinner can be busy as well as lunch later in the week -

Save your $$$. We decided to give these guys a 2nd chance and had an awful awful experience. Never again. Waited over 2 hours for dinner without any indication of why despite several asks. Finally decided to leave as it was ridiculous. The manager came out with food as we were leaving and actually insulted us and made a scene. Plenty of lovely BYOBs in NJ that appreciate customers.

Very nice restuarant. Definitely get a salad or appetizer with the meal. Big eaters will definitely need that.Should wear something casual that's dining appropriate. Don't be like me where I wore in a Nascar hat and an old hunting shirt (first time going).
