★★★★★ 5.0 Laura Massarelli · Nov 2025

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!

★★★★★ 5.0 Bee Cee · Sep 2025

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.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Margaret Hanna · Jan 2026

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.
