   Another wonderful meal at Nuvolaris! I tried the Italian Wedding Soup which was a soup I’ve never had and it was so delicious! It was followed by the Meatballs and Spaghetti which was the perfect comfort food end to my weekend. The meatballs here are cooked so perfectly it reminds me of the ones my grandmother made and the red gravy is perfection. I also tried the special cocktail of the Blood Orange Martini and it was very tasty! I love this restaurant because it feels like the perfect combination of old school Italian but with modern dishes that elevate the flavors.

   We celebrated our 11th anniversary at Nuvolari's. The server greeted us with two glasses of complementary champagne on the house. Such a nice touch to add to an amazing dining experience. The menu was interesting and quite tasty. Great food and service!

   Love their evolving menu. Had the redfish piccata and the seafood linguini. Both were excellent. Our server, Ashland, as well as Mr. Rene, made certain we had an enjoyable dining experience. We love Nuvolari’s!

    The waiter took the order and delivered food/,drinks with almost no interaction. Food was awful and luke warm. The stuffed eggplant was syrupie sweet. Would have gotten a better meal at Olive Garden. The beet salad had no flavor. For the price. We should have been wowed, but were so disappointed. Would never go back.

    My party of 4 enjoyed the experience very much. The food was good but not outstanding. Service was a bit rushed, but it may have because we were early diners. The ambiance was quite pleasant, especially around the bar area. We'd definitely go back.

    It’s been about 1 year since we have been here. It used to be one of our favorite places. The restaurant aesthetically has gone down. The service was slow and there were dirty tables around us in the back room. We never received sparkling water that we asked for. They didn’t have the ingredients to make a Vieux Carre…a southern cocktail that they have made in the past. They brought us another incorrect cocktail. The waitress took 20 minutes to come back to us. The food was actually pretty good…but limited in options. I didn’t use the ladies room, but my husband said the men’s bathroom was so filthy and stinky he had to cover his nose with his coat cuff. He said the toilets were disgusting. So sad to see this once little gem of a tradition fall so badly.

    Food is ok, way overpriced . Service is slow but understandable with today’s availability of staff. Italian restaurants shouldn’t be playing 80’s and 90’s pop music for ambiance. I hope the new owners make some changes.

    I experienced a terrible meal at Nuvolaris this Saturday, Nov. 12th. 2022. 3 weeks ago I had a fabulous meal at Nuvolaris - it consisted of (antipasti) Scallops, Steak Tips, and (prime) Sweet Corn Agnolotti. I ordered the same this Friday. This time Scallops were so very salty as to be impossible to taste anything but salt. The Steak Tips were overdone with too little steak and a lot of mushrooms. The Sweet Corn Agnolotti had no lump crab in the dish, no sweet corn, only the cheese filled pasta covered with mushrooms and a truffle flavor. This was a $135 meal including wine. I had been a Nuvolaris fan for several years. I doubt if I will ever come back.

    Our server was Bella, she was excellent. The food was delicious. I had the salmon, my husband had the redfish. Both dishes were prepared perfectly. I love Nuvolari’s and was concerned for a while, but under the new chef and owner I feel it is back and maybe even better. So happy!!!

    We have been eating at Nuvalaris fur years and have loved it. Under the new owner it is very diminished. Prices are higher (not surprising), there is no complementary soup/salad, and the menu is quite different, but not better. Our bread was cold on the inside, my salmon was burned (and had no pesto), & our veal was rubbery. All in all it was very disappointing and we won’t be back soon, if ever.

    We enjoyed our dinner last night at Nuvolari's, although there are a few issues they need to iron out. It seems they are suffering a bit from a lack of employees, but that is a common restaurant problem everywhere now. It caused a bit of a delay and our entrees were not warm when they were served to us. However, we knew they were short-staffed and the food was very tasty, so we chose not to send anything back. The Panneed Veal & lasagna entree was the tastiest, followed by the Shrimp Scampi. For the starter course, we highly recommend the beef tips (and the Shrimp Scampi). The seared tuna was so-so and pricey, so you may be better off with a nice salad to round out the beginning of your dining experience. I had the spaghetti and meatball entree, and I really enjoyed it. The meatballs were juicy, the pasta was al dente, and the only hitch was that it could have used a bit more marinara sauce. Side note - the marinara is very tasty. It is savory, not sweet. Alas, my entree was also a bit cold, but it was very tasty. The best dessert is the white chocolate bread pudding. The tiramisu is good, but not outstanding and you should skip the cannoli. We would eat there again. Please give them a try because the food is very good and the North Shore should support these nicer restaurants.

    Food was good service was horrible. Waiter was forcing recommendations on us that we did not want and did it to all his tables. I get telling us specials but it was evident he was trying to up sell us on everything like a bad car salesman. Pretty much told us the food we ordered was a mistake. Then would tell us he did not have time to do the stuffed we asked for...ordered a cappuccino and told us I don't have time for that. Kept forgetting our items and brought me the bill in the middle of dinner and kept checking if I paid yet by grabbing the book and opening it and putting next to my arm. Then brought me another bill after I already gave him payment twice. I had 3 bills (small black books) on the table at once. We thought we were being pranked.

    The food was fantastic, I had one of the daily fish specials which was salmon and the preparation was wonderful, also had the beet and buratta salad which was also delicious.The service was excellent, waiter was attentive and food arrived promptly. You can tell this is an experienced restaurateur, so happy to have the chef/owner of Jacmel as the new owner.

    Do not like the new menu but some may. The chopped salad was spicy but not tasty. The service was inattentive, very slow, not professional. We did not order desert because we were tired of sitting after more than two hours. We've been happy going here for over 20 years and because of this history am willing to give it another chance.
