This New York nonna is eager to feed you! Addolorata Marzovilla, also known as Nonna Dora, is the face of a new eponymous restaurant in Kip's Bay. Nonna Dora's Pasta Bar, run by the 85-year-old Italian grandmother, is offering a wide selection of antipasti, as well as handmade pastas. A tasting of three pastas goes for $45, though everything is available a la carte.

An extensive wine, negroni and cocktail list helps sweeten the deal, because getting lit over nonna's lasagna is always a good idea. For the past three decades, Nonna Dora was a signature fixture at I Trulli, the Puglian restaurant in Gramercy named after the Southern Italian region's stone huts with conical roots. Marzovilla herself emigrated from Puglia to New York in the 1970s, at the age of 34, eventually offering her pasta-making skills to help her grown son, Nicola, open I Trulli.
