About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Good for special occasions
Novio’s is an inspired bistro offering a small and selective menu that includes items that are representative of the education, training, travels and experiences of our team.  We feature meats & seafood and produce from local farms, fisherman and other purveyors. The menu offers vegetarian and gluten free options, beautiful soups and salads, and fresh pasta. Novio’s offers a full service bar that showcases an elegant yet approachable wine list, craft beers, and signature cocktails and an extensive scotch & bourbon list. Items on the menu change often as our team becomes inspired by the stories of experiences had by our guests. While guests seated at tables and booths order from the four course menu with an optional wine pairing guests that book reservations at the bar have an option of ordering à la carte.

    This was the first time I had been to Novio. We had the high table right by the door so we had some daylight by the windows. The server was knowledgeable and wines were wonderful. We had the 4 courses and never felt rushed while we sat and talked. We definitely go back again.

    A unique location with a tasting menu. The restaurant no longer offers a wine pairing, which is too bad. great cocktails. Service was not a customer friendly as I would expect from this level of restaurant.

    We don't get here enough, but every meal at Novio's is outstanding. The food is perfection, the menu is always evolving and interesting, the staff is friendly without being imposing, and the ambiance is cozy. We feel that this is the best restaurant in the greater Bangor area (by a landslide), and rivals those well-known restaurants in the greater Portland area.
