    One those rare places you are lucky to have came across. I was looking for a place to eat Italian food in area recently because it's my girlfriend favorite cuisine when I happened to find this place on Yelp. The reviews and the food looked good, so me and my girlfriend made our way over there. Clinton is a quaint little town that I first fell in love with almost twenty years ago, but I'd never even noticed this place because it sits behind Riverside Coffee and Tea on Main Street. I was pleasantly surprised at how cute and romantic this place is. I can only imagine eating here while it's snowing outside and sitting next to the fireplace or on a beautiful spring evening outside as the sounds of the water spill over the dam as it sits right next to the river and is a stones throw from the old grist mill which is now a museum. We walked in and were greeted by a server who walked us to a table in the back where the fireplace is. It's a cozy atmosphere with plenty of windows to enjoy the beauty of the river and mill plus everyone was to themselves enjoying their company, vibes, food, and drink. I loved that! We brought a bottle of limoncello since it's BYOB and they brought us a table side champagne ice bucket to keep it and our sparkling water cold. We started with a bottle of S.Pellegrino and the complimentary bread and oil infused with herbs. We ordered the fried zucchini for a starter. After we finished the starter we ordered chicken Parmesan for my girlfriend and ricotta gnocchi for me. My gnocchi and sauce were excellent and cooked perfectly. My girlfriend's chicken Parmesan and pasta were also excellent. The food was so good that we ordered desert which is rare. We got the ricotta pistachio cake which was a perfect desert for a perfect evening. Complimentary Bread 10/10 Fried Zucchini 10/10 Ricotta Gnocchi 10/10 Chicken Parmesan 10/10 Atmosphere 11/10 Service 11/10 I'll make sure to give you my business the next time I am in town. Thank you for the excellent meal, superb service, and spectacular atmosphere. Enjoy :)

    Good restaurant with outdoor sterling with view of river. Bad signage to find as down alley . Decor nice with indoor seating Lamb chops were excellent. Service poor and discourteous for an upscale restaurant. Our sever appeared annoyed .

    It's ok. Not outstanding but maybe it was me. I fail to see the wisdom of serving a fairly good burger on not so fresh rolls. Nor using tomato slices that are pale and listless. It's tomato season! Slice some Jersey tomatoes! The lettuce on the burger had rust on it. The fries were cold. The ketchup in a little tin dish. Tacky. Nice friendly service. Good iced tea but I would have loved another glass. I wasn't even asked

    I came here and as soon as I walked in they seated me in a seat with a open plug. door was plenty good but was not as good as their sister restaurant Dora'.

    The menu is really well curated, and the food delicious. The dining room is beautiful and cozy with the fireplace burning bright in the cold months, and the outdoor setting by the river quite beautiful during the warmer ones. Our server was very helpful and friendly. I have been three times and each one I'be left planning to come back.

    The service was slightly lacking, but the servers are still very nice and the food was delicious. Everyone left happy, and I'm looking forward to returning with my family, so I think our meal deserves five stars. Eating in Clinton next to the river always provides a nice ambiance, as well. I'd recommend giving the restaurant a try.

    Met an old friend here for lunch today and it was perfect! The view of the bridge and waterfall from the patio was spectacular! The Caesar chicken wrap that I had was one of the best that I've had in years and the service was fast and friendly, well done! This place is a good 35 minute drive from home but I already told my wife that we're going back for dinner. Bonus- the town of Clinton is adorable with lots of nice shops, coffeehouses and dessert places to try. Really nice surprise!

The moment you walk in, you are welcomed by a warm and intimate atmosphere that feels genuinely Italian, more like being invited into someone's home than visiting a restaurant. The food is exceptional, fresh, full of flavor, and made to order with obvious care. The husband and wife team prepares everything with such personal attention, and her homemade desserts are truly something special. Do not leave without trying one. This charming little spot has definitely earned a place on our list of places to return to. If you are looking for delicious Italian food served with heart, this is absolutely the place to go.

Food took an hour to be served. Only 1 person cooking and 1 person serving and handling all the take out orders. Everything was served in plastic takeout containers and cheap paper plates. Our bill was around $240 plus tip for 4 people for appetizers and dinner. It's BYOB. For this price point we should not be eating on plastic and buying bottled water. Arancini balls were good. Herb crusted salmon was plain in a pool of something. Pizza was not good. They really need to have china and glasses and more help on service. Service was disorganized and food was disappointing.

Unfortunately, kids and upscale do not usually mix well! My son and nephew accompanied us, ages 7 & 6. My nephew loudly declared "this is a place to take a date, not seven people!!" And we knew we were in for it. The kids behaved but as any kid that age they were making a lot of noise in an otherwise quiet restaurant. All of this to say, the staff at Dora took it in stride and made sure we did not feel uncomfortable about it while we did our best to reign in the outside voices. This was so appreciated because nothing is worse than being stared at like you don't belong! Not only was the staff friendly and accommodating, the food was amazing. Even the oil they bring out with bread is so delicious, it has some kind of greens or pesto mixture and it's magnificent. We had burrata as an appetizer and gobbled it up down to the salad it sat upon. My tortellini was perfectly cooked and paired with a light pink sauce, I appreciated a thinner sauce with this hearty pasta. Everyone enjoyed their food, even the noisy boys who shared chicken fingers and fries.

    Nice little restaurant in the middle of town. The service was a bit spotty. The bread they…read morebrought out was not very fresh and they never offered to bring more, which would have been nice during the meal. The portion on the ravioli dinner was pretty small (7 regular size ravioli) although the vodka sauce was nice. The lasagna was nothing special at all. They didn't offer any parmesan cheese, which may have helped. The Crème Brulé was a bit cold and lumpy for my taste. So, nothing was bad, just nothing very special about it.
