    We used to live near Novità and dined there very frequently. Now that we live on the West Side we choose restaurants on that side of town, so it has been a few years since we visited. We still loved the atmosphere. It’s cozy and comfortable and doesn’t try to to be hip or trendy - absolutely authentic. The service is thoughtful, and the other diners are not raucous. The food was never the absolute finest, but that was always part of the charm. However, the prices are now through the roof. I was first shocked when I noticed that there was not a since glass of wine under $20. We both had the special gazpacho, and even though I got mine without crab meat, we were both charged $25 - for cold tomato soup. Sadly , I don’t think we will be back. I cannot remember the last time we spent $400 on a meal, and next time I do so, it should be on a meal for more special.

    Not the best food - pasta was decent Veal was terrible The crabmeat appetizer was very good and if it was not for that dish I would give the restaurant a lower rating Service was above average and the prices were reasonable

    The staff is gracious. The food beautifully prepared. We had Strazzapreti al Pesto, Linguine con Vongole, Insalata Mista and Stuffed Zucchini Flowers. Very wine choices by the glass. I only wish it was in my neighborhood.

    My neighbors introduced me to this amazing Italian restaurant in our neighborhood, and I’m so glad they did! From the very first visit, I was blown away by the quality of the food and the warm, welcoming service. Since then, I’ve gone back several times, and every experience has been outstanding. Last night, I went with my daughter, and it was nothing short of fantastic. We enjoyed the Dover Sole, the Bolognese, and the Tuna Tartare — every dish was perfectly prepared and absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the staff makes you feel right at home. This restaurant has truly become one of my favorites, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Italian cuisine and an exceptional dining experience.

    The food was about inlined with those in Little Italy. Then best part was that bottle of red wine which was not cooked by the kitchen there …

    We enjoyed the meal and ambiance of sitting outside at our first visit to Novita very much but were very disappointed in the service. It seems that the restaurant is understaffed. What a shame. It took so long to get anything and no one checked on us through the meal so we had to beg the bus boy, if we could get his attention, for the waiter to take our order after a long wait, for water, for the check, etc. We hope you will get more waitstaff to better serve the discerning clientele and complete the excellence we believe you are trying to achieve. Thank you.

    The food and service was amazing. We were 4 people and everyone loved their dishes. The wine was high priced but it’s NYC so to be expected.

    We were able to sit in a room beside the main dining room, which was lovely and quiet. We enjoyed the Dover sole, and the sea bass soecial. Dessert and appetizers were all good. They never forgot us, and service was attentive.
