This was our families first time here. The food and service were great tonight. Their red sauce is delicious. We had it with the fried calamari. We also ordered Cesar salad for 2, Penne alla vodka with grilled chicken, Penne alla nona & Pollo Al Novella. Great portion size as well. We will definitely be back.

This place is fabulous. I’ve had several parties here as well as just dinner and get togethers. I even had to have a memorial service dinner and once again the best food,drinks and service.The owners are the best as well as the staff. They always have gone above and beyond with me and my family. We love love love this place.

Wow, we were looking for a restaurant on they final evening of our honeymoon. We discovered here and it was amazing, the staff were very friendly and the portion sizes were very generous. We had artichoke stuffed to start and mains were seafood linguine and salmon fettuccine. We had two glasses of red wine also. We enjoyed the night as was music on and we sat outside under canopy. The waiter was Italian and so is my wife so they spoke about where from and family. It was the best place for our last night. Shame as we would have gone back. I highly recommend this place for Italian food and great atmosphere. Thank you again and hopefully we can return again one day.

Great food and attentive staff! I’ve had parties here as well and every time I’m told how great the food was. My husband and I recently went for dinner. I had the seafood over linguine with a spicy red sauce which was fantastic!

Went here on Father’s day. Service was good. Food was ok, not the greatest. Portions were big. We sat outside & the waitress was also tge bartender, which seems like alot of work put on the staff. Our server was very friendly.

Food was subpar. Service was slow. Like ridiculously slow. They only had one other customer and it took over 40 mins to get our food. Salmon in olive sauce??It was disgusting. Never thought you could screw up salmon but THEY figured out how to. Stick to the pasta.. order the penne a la vodka… it was ok. I’ve had better pasta at Olive Garden!!!

This was our third time eating here. Not often but 2-3 times yearly. The staff and owner on premise are great….still are. We truly enjoyed our first couple of visits however the food missed the mark this time. We were a very large group ordering al la carte so that could have been the problem or kitchen staffing? Either way we will likely go back assuming it was just an off evening.

I had a baby shower here and it was very disappointing. The food was really lacking. It wasn’t anything like we agreed on. Also we agreed on having pitchers of mimosas on the table they had bottles of wine and charged me an obscene amount of money for them. I strongly recommend you don’t have your party here. The owner’s disposition was so different from when I booked to when we were having our party. Terrible!!

La Novella throws amazing parties! The patio always looks gorgeous, the staff are top notch and the food is delicious. They treat you like family and make sure your guests are enjoying themselves. We’ll continue to use them for parties.
