"Nora’s Italian Cuisine opened in 1991 with a tiny seating capacity of only 12 people. Now the popular Italian spot seats three times that and continues to serve Italian classics such as a mozzarella Caprese, frutti di mare, and more." - Janna Karel
"We have a couple of theories about why Nora’s has been an off-Strip favorite for three decades. It could be the $1 unlimited garlic bread and massive portions of food, but it’s probably due to the Crazy Alfredo pasta. This towering pile of fettuccini is the best thing on the menu, and comes with shrimp, chicken, sausage, and a bunch of other toppings like porcini mushrooms and jalapeños. Come for a date night dinner and get that and the garlic-packed shrimp scampi simmered in white wine. The less-crowded lunch is a good option too, but the famed alfredo is only around at dinner.

"Osso buco takes center stage at Nora's Italian Cuisine. The Spring Valley Italian institution serves the dish in perfect winter fashion with a sizable 14-ounce veal shank on top of rosemary and garlic mashed potatoes and drizzled with gravy." - Krista Diamond
