Nonna Dora’s has signed a ten-year lease at 200 Church Street in Tribeca, according to Traded. The space was formerly home to Tribeca Kitchen, which closed in 2023.
It will be the second location for Nonna Dora’s, which opened in February 2022 along Second Avenue. Addolorata Marzovilla opened the Italian restaurant after making pasta for her son Nicola’s restaurant, i Trulli, which closed in 2022. Marzovilla emigrated from Southern Italy, where she learned to make pasta. She has been making pasta for more than 70 years.
“Her expertise in making Puglia-style pasta has given her the nickname ‘the pasta machine,’” the Nonna Dora’s website states. “Some of the more popular pasta dishes she makes include orecchiette, cavatelli and malloreddus. Dora came to the United States from Puglia where she learned to make pasta from her mother, mother-in-law and sister; her whole family, really.”
Nonna Dora’s offers a variety of pasta dishes, as well as pasta tastings and a three-course prix fixe menu option.
What Now New York connected with Nicola over the phone, but he was not immediately available for comment on the new location. An opening timeline remains unclear, but it appears the location is still in the early stages of development.
