BYOBshort ribsareameatballsneapolitan pizzagarlic knotscalamarisunday gravyny style pizzaparmigiana
★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1Great local place serving up classic Italian dishes, traditional pies, and Neapolitan pizza. George, the owner takes great pride in customer service and serving up quality dishes. The staff is incredible, welcoming and engaging. BYOB as well!
May 24 · Steven WojtowiczMy husband and I visited Novino for the first time yesterday, 2/10/2024 for an early dinner. It was a great find. We know it's been there for a while but never tried and we're very glad we did! Great service from Craig. Thank you very much! Great food, good size serving and reasonably priced, good ambiance and clean. Also so happy to finally found our favorite waitress/server from a previous restaurant who works there now (Maura). Highly recommended. Will definitely go back.
February 12 · Cynthia SorianoAte at Novino for the first time. Everything was delicious and fresh! The dishes were piping hot and full of flavor. The bolognese, Sunday gravy, and rice balls taste homemade. A great spot for your traditional Italian comfort food or to try something unique from the diverse specials menu. We will definitely be back!
July 28 · Kim NJust finished an incredible dinner here. Our waiter Craig was outstanding on every level. He asked how we wanted the food paced and did not rush us at all. He left time in between our courses so we had time to digest a little bit and truly enjoy each dish that was in front of us. All of the things we ordered were delicious. Meatballs, rice balls, mussels, drunken chicken pizza, chicken parm over linguine and homemade cannolis. I cannot wait to come back!
February 06 · Christine AaronGreat Italian spot. The staff and owner were friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious and fresh. BYOB is also a bonus. You will get a big portion of hearty delicious food. You can tell they care about the food and the people they serve. I highly recommend it.
July 18 · Dustin DMy first time at Novino with two friends was a few Sundays ago. I fell in love at first sight. The decor was very tasteful. The bread was delicious! The waitress was friendly and made a great suggestion. Since side salads do not come with entrees, our waitress suggested we order a larger salad and split it among the three of us. The entrées were plentiful and tasted authentically Italian. We were planning to return to Novino today but unfortunately they were closed due to a damaging fire. They expect to be closed for quite a while. Wishing the owners and staff a successful renovation.
