    My attractive forty-something female companion arrived first and the waiter looked past her to a young blond who'd arrived behind her, ignoring my friend who challenged him on it and he admitted he was taken by the blond and didn't think he'd done anything wrong. We had a 7:30pm booking but there were about twelve people already waiting for tables at 7:40pm. The waiter told us there was a large group and we'd be seated "in two minutes" when they left although he then delivered another drink to that table. When I called him on that he just walked away. We ended up sitting outside in the heat at 7:45pm and the group didn't leave until 8pm. A different waiter who served us was charming but the organic chicken stuffed with spinach, prosciutto and mozzarella served with potatoes had lots of the latter and not much of the chicken which was dry and shrivelled.

    I started with stuffed zucchini flowers and prosciutto - one of my favorites - and since I find it filling, ordered another appetizer - salmon with green beans and potatoes - just perfect. A glass of Pinot Noir and an espresso completed the meal. A wonderful evening.

    We were excited to try this restaurant and were happy when the opportunity came up to visit with friends, however, the service was so slow, they got our drink orders wrong and the food didn’t taste nearly are good as it looked online. On top of it, the prices were high. Overall, it was disappointing

    First time at Novita and loved it. Food was fantastic having had the squid ink pasta with seafood and spicy red sauce. Wife’s salmon perfectly cooked. Service was the added bonus. Highly recommend Novita.

    Novita is one of our favorite restaurants and this time was the very best. We had an outdoor yurt, which was quiet, and the food was better than ever. I casually remarked that one of us was the "birthday girl" and they brought her a dessert with a candle in it, unasked. We all had fish (salmon, tuna, bronzino) and they were all cooked perfectly. The trio of gelati flavors were my faves. We go back again and again, and this is why.

    The fiore di zucca and tuna tartare appetizers were delicious. The pasta dishes are always good, some are house made with Italian flour, which adds a special quality to the dish. Wine is overpriced, perhaps due to being in a high rent district. Pleasant outdoor seating.

    Novita never fails to create a beautiful evening. The ambience is warm and rich, yet casual. The staff are always kind, polite and patient. The food and wine is always delicious. There was three of us and we all had different dishes and we all loved them. There’s something about the vibe in Novita that is special and worth experiencing.

    As life-long New Yorkers, our number one criteria - to be recognized as a valued customer. And delicious food. Having had delicious lunches in this charming, authentic Italian restaurant, I chose to bring my adult children here to “show off” my new favorite place. What an embarrassing disappointment. This lovely little restaurant succeeds on kind service and fresh well-cooked food. Instead of lunch with Margarita, early evening service was universally awful. By contrast, the four smirking, rude “Italian” waiters were insulting: laughing amongst each other rather than paying the slightest respect to their guests. The main course: soft shell crabs, a personal favorite, was inedible.It was water-logged, bloated, and presented sadly. My son’s appetizer: described as “grilled salmon with horicot verf (sic) fingerling potatoes” came smothered in a tsunami of unwanted olives. The classic Vitello a la Milanese had a most indifferently presented salad on top of an unflavorable slice of veal. I was ashamed that I recommended Novitá. My son lived in Italy and I wanted to impress him with a homey place with great food. As soon we were served our appetizers it became rapidly clear that we were to be ignored by the waiters for the duration: they just sat at the bar - laughing, deep in loud conversation in Italian, completely ignoring us to a shocking degree - while their “boss” looked down his nose - apparently endorsing his staff’s antics. No one offered us a wine list before our main courses (just because we had an aperitivo didn’t mean we didn’t want a bottle of wine?) The head waiter treated us with utter disdain. He recited specials to the other two tables but not to us! We were respectably dressed, well-mannered, but we missed the Parppadella (sounded delicious) and . These “staff” were plenty close by to check on how dismal our main courses were. No effort was made. Hi incompetence. I was depressed after my dinner. It was no celebration.

    We have been for long years customers of Novita, we love it atmosphere and location but we are very disappointed with the very poor service. It’s a shame because it’s food is great ! I will continue to give it a chance but they have to improve its service. It looks a family restaurante more than a Manhattan restaurant.
