My boyfriend and I had dinner here last night, and it was incredible! Our server was kind, professional and attentive. The ravioli was quite possibly the best meal I've ever had! It came with braised short ribs that were tender and cooked to perfection. The prices are very reasonable and the dishes are always unique and delicious. I cannot recommend Nora highly enough! This was our second time visiting, and we will be back very soon!!
I've been to Nora's twice. Each time had been absolutely amazing! The staff is so friendly and accommodating that it feels like you've known them your entire life! On top of that the food is to die for! Every selection is unique and delicious! I would strongly recommend that anyone visiting the area stop in! You won't regret it!
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.
Wow wow wow. We barely made it into this little hole in the wall in time to be seated. The atmosphere and music really adds to the unique feel of the place. Menu was very simple but still excellent selection of meals and cocktails. 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!
Excellent in every detail. The food was delicious, the stuffed peppers were worth making into a meal. I had the Spare Rib Ragu, loved it! Everything was done to perfection. I love the atmosphere of the restaurant itself. Make a date and go to Nora.

We came here for a belated Valentine's dinner. I read the mixed reviews before we come but we still opted to come since majority of the reviews were good. We were seated promptly and the hostess was very open to changing our table when we requested a corner table. The ambience is very cozy and cute. Definitely romantic for a date night or a celebration .Our server Alec was very nice. You do have to ask for bread if you want to and it says so on the menu (this is for the reviewers who said they got no bread). We had the calamari for an appetizer and it was delicious, it was perfectly cooked not very oily , just perfect. For the main course, since we read the Ravioli with the beef short ribs was a great dish I ordered that and my husband ordered the lamb shank. The food did take a while to come out but that's because the lamb shank takes a while to cook. Both of our dishes were delicious. The lamb shank was very buttery almost melts in your mouth so was the beef short ribs. We didn't have dessert. Our bill was under a $100 with drinks. Overall , our experience was great. My only comment is that since they have a lot of pasta dishes there should be an option to add a side dish of protein like chicken etc but they said they don't have that option. Otherwise , loved it ! Will be back .
