I had been to Nonna Dora’s earlier than for drinks (their Negronis are legen-…await it…dary!), but it surely was the primary time for me to attempt the meals. My buddy Alex is aware of the workers, and now, when the scaffolding in entrance of the constructing is lastly gone, and a bunch of good evaluations from some very respected publications have ensured fairly a hype, Alex determined that it was time to introduce the remainder of the gang to Nonna Dora’s too.
We began out with a little bit of cheese and charcuterie + a few different mild dishes together with the pulpo salad (a must-try if you happen to like octopus) and calamari (minimize lengthwise, in order that they seemed like fries).
In terms of ordering meals, I endure from some severe FOMO, and I choose to be the final particular person to put my order, simply in case anybody orders one thing that sounds higher than what I had in thoughts. Although when my truffle & mushroom tagliatelle arrived, the meals FOMO disappeared, as a result of there was little doubt I had picked the showstopper on the menu that evening. There’s one thing completely satisfying about watching the truffle flakes land accompanied by the oooh-ing and aaah-ing from my mates across the desk.
As for desserts, nicely, let’s simply say we did a little bit of overindulging. At Nonna Dora’s, opting out of desserts is just not an possibility, and oh man, they have been all delicious! Selecting a favourite could be like selecting a favourite star within the sky, but when pressured to decide on one favourite, it could most likely be the panna cotta.
