About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
Novita is a vibrant 60-seat trattoria serving a seasonally inspired, modern Italian menu.
Chef owner Marco Fregonese’s innovative take on classical, regional cooking begins with the finest, artisan ingredients and freshest, seasonal products. His distinctive light and flavorful dishes are pure and satisfying and perfectly complemented by a select list of wines from superb Italian specialty and boutique growers.
Novita is located a few steps down from a quiet tree lined street in the Gramercy Park neighborhood. The setting is warm and elegant and the mood quintessentially Italian. In pleasant weather, sidewalk, alfresco dining is offered further adding to Novita’s year round appeal.

    Its a lovely comfortable restaurant. The spaghetti vongole and the lambchops were excellent. I asked for potatoes instead of spinach which they did for me. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was the dessert. It wasn't the classic 3 Profieroles but one large heavy crust filled with ice cream. i found the crust too hard and thick to eat.

    We have eaten at Novita multiple times. The ambience is informally stylish and the Italian cuisine reliably good. The prices are a little high. Our complaint about this visit is that the servers, while otherwise pleasant and competent, never told us the daily specials -- we only heard them when they were presented to other tables, and as it happens we would have chosen one of the specials to eat. The manager did apologize as we were leaving.

    Wonderful intimate restaurant for our work/team dinner. The staff was very attentive, and the food was delicious! The team asks to return to this place each time they are in town.

    We last visited in 1996 (we no longer live in NYC) and had rated it excellent in our restaurant files. The rating still holds true. The food is well prepared and exactly as described. The vegetables are handled with care and the pasta perfectly cooked. Service continues to be professional and personable.

    Loved everything about our dining experience. The service was very friendly and attentive while the menu and specials selection was excellent. The indoor space is intimate but you don’t feel as if you’re on top of other guests. The outside tables looked lovely but weather hindered our ability to dine al fresco.
