"The food was really good. My friend ordered lobster mac and cheese. He was expecting mac and cheese with bits of lobster meat through out. However when it came to the table it was literally cheese tortellini and a WHOLE lobster STILL in its shell with the claws and tail seperated from the body all placed on the plate surrounding the mac and cheese. Very interesting and very good!"

"The food was fantastic. The service could have been a bit more attentive, especially in light of the fact that it wasn't too busy at the time we were there. Our waitress needed to be asked to refill our water glasses repeatedly and didn't provide extra napkins for the somewhat messy but delicious lobster we had. She also forgot the cream when asked for a second cup of coffee and was nowhere to be found for that request. Otherwise, the food was so good. I'd definitely go back."

"A great Italian restaurant with some more interesting options than you find at most Italian places, including pork osso buco and seafood lasagna. Will definitely go again."

"What a find! The generous welcome and easy seating makes one feel right at home. IT's the FOOD! That is the story about Nuovo. It was a Wednesday night and a bit early at that but our waiter was pleasant, attentive and prompt. The cocktails were nice made (they need to consider proseco by the glass as the only sparkling was both too sweet and a bit on the warm side)and the menu selections and specials all tempting. The veal cacciatore was mouth watering first bite to last. The generous portion of linguini carbanara was made the way Momma used to make not with a heavy prepared cream sauce. Owner/Chef Alek came out to great and engage in some pleasant conversation about the food and its preparation. Don't miss this one!"

"Hostess promptly sat us, we we're greeted by our waitress and then she couldn't be found. Shrimp cocktail was excellent, I ordered the tender loin beef stuffed with crabmeat, shrimp and scallops. Problems was the beef was stuffed with a bread seafood stuffing and the menu made no note it was a bread stuffing, I should have asked, beef was over cooked, and the stuffing was not something you would put in beef, maybe as a stuffing baked stuffed shrimp. After we finished dinner, our plates sat on the table for over 20 minutes before our "mia" waitress showed up. Too bad, the atmosphere is very, very nice, food and service not so. It will be tough competing being across the street from the 111 and VIA, which both are very good resturants."
