Casa Novello

We walked in on a really busy night (pretty sure it was a Thursday) and somehow snagged one of the last tables — we felt super lucky. Even with how packed it was, the service was exceptional and never felt rushed. The kids immediately loved that the table was covered in paper and that they brought crayons, which kept them happily drawing while we waited. We were started off with bread and olive oil with salt, pepper— it was really good. We also had a couple glasses of Pinot Noir, which were tasty and easy to drink. For food, the kids had steak and pasta with meatballs and absolutely loved both. The adults ordered the broiled haddock with a side of pasta marinara. The fish was pretty good — it tasted more like fresh-frozen than truly fresh, which stood out a little given how close we are

Cozy spot for dinner. Loved the wine. The best bottle I have had for some time. Bread was delicious. Salad was good. Pasta was ok.

We had a lovely dining experience in this traditional Italian cafe with a warm, cozy vibe. The service was excellent and the meals were awesome. The capresese salad was delicious and the scallops Marsella and chicken parm were cooked to perfection. Had 2 glasses of wine and topped it off with a slice of lemon cake..forgetaboutit! Easy parking, affordable prices, and Italian food the way it should be!

My daughter and I showed up on Valentine’s Day with no reservations expecting not to get in but wanted to at least try. To our surprise we were given a seat right away- the place was jam packed. They could have easily turned us away but they didn’t. Even though the place was full we got our drinks and food quickly and it was all delicious. This establishment does it right and has a good system in place. The food is so good and it is my new favorite place as they offer vegan options!!

One of our favorite restaurants is starting to slip. I understand costs and the elimination of bread, but some of the meals have taken a turn for the worst. The shrimp scampi Lacked sufficient garlic. The chicken Florentine was supposed to come with an Alfredo sauce. It came with oil and garlic on the pasta. The pasta Milano only had a rare sun-dried tomato and wasn’t creamy or as tasty as it had been.
