We were celebrating my husband's birthday, and our friend recommended Novelli. If you are someone who appreciates quality, you will surely enjoy the environment you will find here. As an appetizer, we ordered a shrimp cocktail, was great! A grilled octopus, and it was delicious with some jalapeno kick to it. Kobe meatballs, you should try! Veal novelli, topped with arugula, red onion, tomato, and burrata, I really enjoyed. As a dessert, we had carrot cake, I am not a big sweets person, but whenever I tried, their's was delicious. More than highly recommended.

We recently dined at this establishment and despite the hustle and bustle of a wedding happening simultaneously, the service was impeccable. We felt like vip customers. The staff was attentive and on top of every detail ensuring a seamless dining experience. The cocktails were tasty as well. The food was outstanding – perfect portions and made with fresh ingredientes. We ordered the pork chop that was juicy and paired with bold flavors, and the short rib pasta was absolutely to die for. We’ll definitely be returning!

MUST TRY! absolutely amazing food and amazing service. We had a reservation and we did call ahead and told them we would be a bit late , but they still honored our reservation. we opted for outdoor dining but as soon as an indoor seat was available the owner came over and brought us inside. the dining room was so classy and clean. The service was amazing and our waiter was attentive and patient. we ordered garlic bread and we personalized it with big chunks of fresh garlic- it was amazing! the bathrooms were clean as well. The salmon was so FRESH and i requested a cream sauce and they could make it on the spot- such talented chefs! We also loved the complimentary Valet parking! Outdoor dining available.

I had a fantastic dining experience at Novelli Restaurant. The food was amazing and full of flavor. Although I usually avoid ordering pork at restaurants, the pork chop came highly recommended, and I can confidently say it was the best I’ve ever had. It was impressively thick, yet perfectly cooked on the inside and delightfully crispy on the outside. The balsamic glaze paired with jalapenos was a standout—adding the perfect blend of sweetness and heat that made the dish truly unforgettable. The atmosphere of the restaurant was pleasant, with a clean and welcoming environment, including spotless bathrooms. The staff was exceptionally friendly and well-versed in their menu, which added to the overall experience. I highly recommend Novelli Restaurant for anyone seeking delicious food and excellent service. It’s definitely a place we'll visit again.

Had the pleasure of dining there for the first time. The atmosphere was really nice. The table service was fast and efficient. We were first served with olives, cheese, and bread. Our main courses were swordfish topped with cherry peppers and seafood. Mine was filet mignon medium rare with vegetables and mashed potatoes. For drinks, we both had sangria. The service was excellent. The bill was very reasonable, but on the higher side . Would recommend and return on my own.

Everything we order was excellent. I had the salmon appetizer and the veal novelli. Outstanding. My husband had the flounder franchise he thoroughly enjoyed it.
