This Year’s Sweetest Restaurant Trend: the Whole Family Was Involved | Bon Appétit
"In Manhattan’s Kips Bay neighborhood, the 86-year-old pasta maker Addolorata 'Dora' Marzovilla runs the show at Nonna Dora’s, and she prides herself on staying traditional as new pizzerias and brunch restaurants open on the surrounding blocks. The orecchiette with rabbit ragù is a dish that her son and business partner, Nicola Marzovilla, remembers eating every Sunday as a child in Puglia. Nicola once owned Italian restaurants, including I Trulli, where he served food from the Apulia region, and for more than 30 years, Addolorata helped to carefully make pastas by hand for his menu. When I Trulli closed recently, Addolorata wasn’t ready for retirement. Now, customers clamor for reservations at her 32-seat pasta bar." - ByEmily Wilson
