Neighborhood gem with a welcoming feel. Homemade pasta! Much improved compared to the last time we were here over a year ago. Great recommendations from staff. We will definitely return.

We had reservations for 5:15 PM which is right after they open, so there was only two other couples. However, the restaurant did fill up more as time went by and when we left it was crowded. Even as the restaurant filled up, our waitress was very attentive and our water glasses were always full. I would say they have a pretty good wine list, but I am by no means a wine enthusiast. I also did have a dirty martini and I felt it was made perfectly. Not too much olive brine! The interior of the restaurant was nice and my wife commented many times how much she liked it. It is a smaller, quaint restaurant which definitely added some charm to the place. My wife got the salad special to start, and it was an interesting combination. Typical salad greens but it also came with a butternut squash purée under the salad that added some sweetness to the vinegar that was in the salad dressing. Different take on a salad that I have never had before, and perfectly executed. I had the soup of the night, which was a seafood soup with clams, mussels, I believe some type of fish, and garbanzo beans. Once again, this was perfect! For the main course my wife got the ravioli and I had the ravioli. The waitress told us that these are the two best dishes. The ravioli has a date filling and they are topped with beef short ribs. My wife loved this dish! I thought it was an interesting take with the sweet date filling and the beef on the outside, but once again excellent. As for the rigatoni, it comes with a lamb and pork bolognese and is topped with crispy prosciutto. I have had a lot of bolognese, but this was definitely my favorite that I have ever had. The crispy prosciutto also added a nice crunch texture to the pasta. Overall, this meal was excellent and my wife and I both agreed we will come back here many times! P.s. There is valet parking!

Great food, great service, nice staff and awesome prices! I would definitely recommend to anybody looking for some delicious food to come here! They also have an affordable assortment of wines to choose from as well!

Excellent restaurant with a great staff. Food and drinks were excellent. I actually hate "Cleveland Italian" and loved this place. Sauces and pastas were everything you could hope for. I had the braised Octopus for a starter and was thrilled with everything about it.

Can't believe I've never been here. Everything I had was on point... calamari, solid. Meatball, amazing. Shrimp Fra Diavolo...large portion and just the right amount of spice. Service was great... definitely making a return visit.

Fantastic. Nice, cozy little place. Everything we had was delicious, and the waitress was very good. Highly recommended.

Nora is a little hidden gem! Fantastic Italian food, my favorite in the area which says a lot near little Italy. Menu had rotated when I most recently visited. First time we had fantastic carbonara, delicious octopus, and the rest of the food was great as well. We just went again, and their Squash soup was amazing. Rockefeller oysters were great. Entrees didn’t impress me as much, but were still creative and delish. I think the duck ravioli was a bit dry. Overall, love the place!

They graciously fit us in on a busy night. We really enjoyed the ravioli with short ribs and the seafood pasta. The special salad with creamy oregano dressing was very good. The service was perfect. The atmosphere is warm and intimate. A gem a little off the beaten path.
