Taverna Novo

A lovely spot for dinner, drinks, or both. The staff is very friendly at the location, they speak Portuguese and English. We were able to order one meal for two, and split. Portion sizes are big and the taste is so flavorful. They have a lot of seating indoors and also outdoors. We will be back!

This place needs to figure out its identity crisis before it tries to serve people again. It is not sure if it is a sports bar or a high-end Italian restaurant. $60 for a veal dinner to have a rowdy, raucous bar 6' away from you, screaming at a touchdown. On top of that, the only thing that surpassed the dusty taste of their "daily special" risotto e funghi was the art of the pig joining us for dinner. The gentleman host was great, but our server came to our table unprepared, and forgot to serve our drinks (we ordered them with the appetizer but didn't get them until we asked the host to check on them as he brought our entree). Portion size is laughable - you'll go home hungry and $120 light (If you remember to check your receipt to make sure they didn't double charge you like they did us

A great meal in a relaxing atmosphere. I suspect it is very different in summer. Regardless, the food is outstanding and the service is kind. It was a little off putting at first to go out for a nice meal and see TVs and OTB in the bar area, but I just chalk it up to the relaxed, neighborhood vibe. We will be back!

Shrimp scampi has been added to the menu. It was delicious. Served over angel hair pasta. Seems Shrimp Scampi is never on the menu anywhere in Saratoga Springs. It's a favorite of mine. I hope it stays! We also loved the pizza fondu served hot in a small cast iron pan. Will order that again.

We found this restaurant online after leaving the Saratoga Casino looking for good Italian food and a great atmosphere. Taverna Novo had both. The food was excellent and made of great quality, the place has an awesome vibe and our waitress was fantastic filling in while the owners were on vacation. We will be back soon!!!
