| - Nora's is my favorite Italian restaurant in the valley. I've eaten in many times, picked up food and pizza to go, and recommended this place to many friends.
The restaurant is decently sized with two dinning rooms on either side of the kitchen & main room, adequately lit, and is warm and cozy. The service has consistently been genuine and friendly.
For starters, the garlic bread is delicious. I always have to remember to stop eating it so I can save room for my actual entree! That and I don't want to smell like garlic on date night.
The gnocchi and vodka sauce are a delicious combo. I'm a meat and starch kind of girl, but that dish is so good on it's own I don't even need to throw in anything extra.
The crazy alfredo is crazy huge and packed with so many ingredients and flavor. This dish could probably feed two people.
When it's a special, you MUST order the osso buco. It's much more pricey than normal Nora's items (~$35), but it's soooo worth it. It comes with a little spoon for the bone marrow, which is absolutely delectable. This is my favorite dish in the world, and it nears perfection here.
If you're an Olive Garden/Carrabas/chain Italian restaurant kind of person, give yourself a well deserved real Italian meal and go to Nora's. It doesn't disappoint.
Date night seal of approval!
