Love this place. I always recommend it to foodies and everyone else alike. Staff are great. Food is always the highlight—competent and sometimes creative execution. Wine list is well chosen and fairly priced. My only complaint is the tight spacing of some of the tables indoors. Outdoor tables compensate and work well throughout the year.

Waitstaff tried, but the wait was very lengthy to get menus, food or any items we requested. Way too busy and understaffed. Food was not satisfying this time. Have eaten there many times in the past but will not be returning. Sad the experience was so unsatisfying.

Made a reservation then was given the only table in a steamy greenhouse away from other diners even when we requested not to be sat there. Took an hour for our food order to be taken and another hour for the food to come out. Taste was bland. Will never go back.

Although I had booked a 7:30 outdoor reservation, our table wasn't ready so the manager was gracious enough to offer us pre-dinner drinks. But we weren't seated for a quite a long time and, after that, entree service was extremely slow. The pasta was reasonably tasty, but it seemed as if it had been sitting for awhile, and was reheated. Overall a slightly disappointing experience, especially for the premium prices charged.

first time here. Excellent food. I had the assorted mushroom salad and pasta bolognese. Shared two desserts: warm chocolate tart and cheesecake. All was excellent. Sat outside. A bit crowded and noisy, but glad we finally tried this place. Looks lovely inside, but with covid, preferred outside. Will be back to try other things.

Novita is one of those restaurants where you know the food will just be delicious. Whether it be the crab cakes, grilled calamari salad, pastas, lamb or soft-shell crabs…it doesn’t matter, as everything tastes delicious. The one thing that unfortunately changed is the service. Over 40-minutes to take our order & that is only asking the bus boy for our waiter, to over 20-minutes to order dessert & that is only after I had to get up & get our waiter, who was busy chatting with another server. To make matters worse, we had to give our check & credit card to one the bus boys as well, since our waiter never came back to pick it up. When spending over $400 on dinner you expect great food & great service. Hope Novita gets back to both, as the food is too good to suffer for this behavior.

I have been going here for almost 28 years since they opened as I used to live in the neighborhood. Now that I live in the burbs I still go here when I’m able as it’s such a special place. Food is always great, and it feels like being in Italy. Service , ambience and decor are always consistently great. Now rirh the outdoor sidewalk space , it is magical with lights and just enough noise to make it feel right. I hope they are around forever.

Novita is lovely and staff attentive. Unfortunately of the four main dishes ordered, not one had any seasoning. I doubt the pasta water was even salted. It’s a shame as I wanted to love the dishes my three friends and I all shared.
