" I visited Novella last weekend for a birthday celebration. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for family gatherings. I ordered the lasagna, and I can confidently say it was one of the best I’ve had outside of Italy! My only complaint would be the service; it could have been a bit quicker, but the staff was very friendly. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you appreciate quality Italian food, you can't go wrong with Novella Osteria. The cacio e pepe was simply magical, bold in flavor and perfectly cooked. We also enjoyed the wine recommendations from our waiter. The atmosphere was romantic and charming, making it ideal for date night. I am definitely planning my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! What a meal! I tried the dessert special – the olive oil cake – and it was exceptional. The service was attentive and warm, making the evening all the more delightful. This is certainly a place I would recommend to anyone looking for a nice evening out or a date night. Looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" A wonderful experience from start to finish! The food was fresh and thoughtfully prepared. I especially enjoyed the calamari, which was perfectly seasoned. Our server was skilled, giving us excellent restaurant recommendations and wine pairings. I can't wait to return for another meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who has traveled extensively in Italy, I have to say, Novella delivers an authentic Italian dining experience! Each dish was crafted after traditional recipes and the flavors were spot on. I particularly enjoyed the pork belly rotolo, which was tender and savory. The only downside was the service took a little while to get our drinks, but overall, it was a fabulous evening! " (*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*)
