Cafe Nuovo was a great discovery. Fine value based pricing dining . The tomato soup and the salads were fresh and delightfully tasty. The quality of risotto outstanding and their signature mousse dish sinfully divine . Katherine was a very attentive host and looked after us very very well

Great place right on the water fire path. Food is amazing. Our waiter was super friendly. Drinks are good. Some come in a small glass. I was expecting a normal size whisky glass and wondering why the price of the drink was inexpensive compared to other places. Now I know. I had the artichoke tagliatelle and it was delicious.

We love this restaurant! Waiters are great, Leo is exceptional and Sean is a warm caring host. Fresh blue fin tuna tonight, it was so fresh. We get specials most of the time but the staples are great too! This restaurant also works for our gluten free friends.

The service was amazing, but the food was beyond phenomenal. Cafe Nuovo has a beautiful view of the canal and is perfect during the springtime. We ordered a steak, beef carpacio, shrimp cocktail and o’durv!

We went for a special occasion. The crispy sushi app was very good. Our meals were good, but nothing amazing out of this world. I had the short ribs and they weren’t as tender as I was hoping. The mashed potatoes were really dry. My husband had the lamb, which was pretty good and more tender than mine; the sauce with his was very good. Our server was absent most of the time and not personable at all; other servers ended up taking some of our requests. Not what I’d expect for fine dining. Overall just a mediocre experience and definitely not worth the price.

Fantastic place! I can only imagine that with this location next to the water, this place would be packed during the summer. There are outside seating which would make this place a great place to eat. Honestly, the food was better than expected. They had a lobster bisque special that was the best I’ve had in a long time; and I’ve had many since it’s my “go to” soup if available. Short rib croquettes appetizer is a must. The calamari and shrimp is very lightly breaded and fried. But it was just ok.

Service was fabulous, top notch and very nice staff. They truly care about you here and put alot of thought into everything they do. We had the lamb and stuffed rigatoni. By far best rigatoni I have ever had. It was stuffed with a breading and it was a gravy ontop. Delicious

I had called to ask about their hours and they told me the kitchen would be closed at 9, but that we would be able to get drinks. So my friends and I show up for 9 for drinks outside. We were given dinner menus and the waiters were pretty attentive to us, filling up water and checking in to see if we would like to put in an order for beverages or food. We got our drinks fine, but then we asked for the dessert menu and they asked if it would just be drinks and dessert tonight, to which we said yes since we thought the kitchen would be closed. We were then practically ignored the rest of the night and had to stop waiters from walking by us for water, drinks, and dessert. Not sure if they were short-staffed or what. The drinks and dessert were very good though.

Took a date here on a rainy Monday night. Had a fantastic experience. Cole was our server and he was top notch. From his menu suggestions to wine recommendations we really could not have asked for more. I highly recommend the stuffed rigatoni and the watermelon sushi. Free valet was a nice addition to the experience. I will be back and I would 100% recommend asking for Cole when you make your reservation. He will make your night is memorable for sure.
