" Between the beautiful ambiance and delectable food, Novella Osteria is a slice of Italy in Columbus! The bread and olive oil was simply divine. For the main course, I had the fettuccine alfredo, and it was incredibly creamy and rich. Definitely a bit on the heavier side though. The service was pleasant but could have been faster. Overall, a delightful night out! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Novella Osteria was a pleasant surprise! The ambiance was welcoming, and it really set the stage for a wonderful dining experience. I ordered the pasta of the day, and while it was well-prepared, I expected a stronger flavor profile. Regardless, I believe they are dedicated to quality and I would return to give them another shot! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Novella was heavenly! Their homemade pastas were cooked to perfection, and I particularly loved the truffle gnocchi. The service was impeccable; attentive but never intrusive. It's the kind of restaurant you want to explore again and again. I've already planned my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delight! The food was hot and flavorful. The lasagna was stacked high and simply perfect. The service was friendly, though the wait for our food felt a bit long at times. Otherwise, I loved the cozy vibe of the place—definitely a local gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" We chose Novella for our anniversary dinner, and it did not disappoint! The ambiance was romantic, with soft lighting and elegant decor. The risotto was to die for, creamy and filled with flavors that transported me back to Tuscany. Our server was friendly and seemed genuinely invested in making our experience special. Can’t wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Novella; however, my experience fell short of expectations. The atmosphere was lovely, but the food did not pack the punch I was anticipating. The flavors seemed muted, and the service, while polite, lacked efficiency. I might try again in the future, hoping for better results. " (*Curated Review*)

" Last Saturday, we had dinner at Novella Osteria, and it was a memorable experience. The calamari was crispy and light, while the pasta dishes were rich and fulfilling. My only fault was that I felt a bit rushed through my meal, since they were quite busy. The atmosphere was lively, which was nice, but it felt a tad chaotic at times. " (*Curated Review*)
