Dora's Restaurant 17 Main Street, Clinton, NJ 08809

"Very good chicken Parmigiano. Dora's ravioli were tasty, but 5 pieces not enough to fill me. Bread was a little crisp but pesto was good. Salad was good and lobster bisque would hit the mark but needs more lobster in it. Service was excellent for us at lunch. I would go back again."

"We went on a rainy Saturday and had the place almost all to ourselves. Staff was very attentive and the food was great. The large windows allow for a lot of natural light while still letting the place feel cozy. It's great place for date night and there is a lot of seating and would be good for small groups. Leave yourself time to find street parking. For three courses - two appetizers, two entrees, two desserts - and a coffee we spent about $90. Portions are filling and depending on the dish will leave you with leftovers."

"Dora's is a great classy Italian restaurant. We sat outside on the huge outdoor patio on a nice summer evening. Bonus - the entire patio is in the shade which kept it nice and cool on a warm day. All of us ordered something different, and everything was delicious with healthy portions. We even ordered desserts from the extensive dessert menu. There is something for everyone. Service was also very good and accomodating. Highly recommended!"

"Let me start off with the good before the bad... there is a nice outdoor dining area. The wait staff was very polite but not very friendly unless you were a local or frequent customer, I noticed. Ok, let's just dive, right into this... the place is very outdated with a terrible oder of mold as we were seated right under a water damaged ceiling with a rusty loose tile showing signs of crude, you can not seat inside the dining area for too long before you can feel your throat get Irritated from.the smell. The food was soso as it's not true Italian food from any regions in Italy, just a few made up Italian dishes. Meatballs stated pork n beef more like beef kind of on the school lunch spectrum, the bolognese was made with thick long egg noodles which gave the meat sauce a non Italian taste as the egg noodles over took the taste away from the star of the dish the meat sauce, we also got dora ravioli which we were not sure what the flavor of inside was. Bread was givin' with a spinach n parsley oily spread... The dessert was a bit pricey at almost $12.each The desserts looked good, but my dessert was crumbling with every fork filled as the bottom part of the cake was dry. The whole meal was very pricey"
