Delicious. Underrated Italian like cavatelli and eggplant parm and cacia di pepi (can’t spell it!). But you have to pay extra for a cube of additional bread. Yes, a focaccia bread cube, like 1x1x1. Ummm, you buy a bottle of wine but have to pay $1/additional bread cube? Come on now. Anyway, I still love it.

We enjoyed the food and service very much. The only thing that put a damper on the evening was there was a big table celebrating a birthday and they were EXTREMELY LOUD. We had to almost scream at each other to hear each other. It would have been nice if the manager could have talked to them. I’m all for having fun and enjoying but they were screaming while they were talking. Way to much liquor was consumed

My experience at Novella was perfect. I trust the doubt of reading a perfect review, but please, hear me out…First dates are hard enough to navigate, while choosing to add tableside hospitality to boot. The unspoken awareness and patience of Emily (our server), the perfectly timed check-ins from manager Lauren, and the fabulous food, made for an unforgettable experience. I knew my timing would put me between the spring/summer and fall/winter menus, so maybe, just maybe, I’d get the last of whatever they’d upsell. If I had room, I’d eat those words. The heirloom tomato bruschetta was excellent. Piled high, and on still crisp crostini, it was a messy but wonderful way to start. Bless that mess. Our shared pasta’s were the short rib rigatoni (a staple & well deserved), and the Gnocchi w/ sweet corn. The rigatoni was…well…just go and eat it. As a matter of fact. Stop reading. Just make a reservation and experience this yourselves! I’ll be racing back when the new menu releases. Or I’ll simply be the man with a shopping cart out back waiting on the discarded heirlooms…6 out of 5.
