" Quirky, chic, and just so much fun! If you’re searching for a fantastic spot in Montclair, this is it! The atmosphere is alive, filled with laughter and chatter. The cocktails were artfully crafted, and the appetizers hit the spot—especially the calamari. Main course? You can't go wrong with either the fish special or the lamb shank. Highly commend the staff’s hard work during peak hours! Truly a memorable dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I was blown away! This restaurant not only had delightful food but also an ambiance that made you feel like you were in a cozy pub in Europe. The servers were attentive, but not intrusive, offering insightful recommendations. I sampled a variety of dishes and although they all were exceptional, the standout for me was the dessert—a must-try! Overall, I left with a happy stomach and will definitely recommend De Novo to all my friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love this place! The energy in the restaurant was buzzing, and it contributed positively to our evening. Had the tuna tartare—it was fresh and well seasoned. You can feel the love that the chefs put into each dish, making dining at De Novo a unique experience. Highly recommend reserving a table, as it gets busy! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had such a wonderful time dining at De Novo! My friends and I celebrated a special occasion and the staff made us feel appreciated from start to finish. The drinks were superb, especially the signature cocktails, and the appetizers were just as good. For my main, I had the Wagyu burger, which I found juicy, cooked perfectly, and the side of fries were crispy and fresh. Overall, I recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" So impressed with this restaurant! My friend and I enjoy seeking out hidden gems, and De Novo is one of them. The energy was alive, and the decor exuded warmth. Our server was friendly and prompt with service. We indulged in several appetizers, and I must say the mushroom pappardelle was out of this world! It was rich and satisfying without being too heavy. I would recommend making a reservation as it tends to fill up quickly. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a splendid evening at De Novo! After hearing numerous praises from friends, I finally decided to try it out. The ambiance was chic, and the service was swift and helpful. The octopus was honestly one of the best I’ve ever had—perfectly tender and surprisingly flavorful. The pasta we ordered was also excellent, showcasing their culinary skills well. My only complaints would be that the seating arrangement was a bit cramped and sometimes noisy, but overall it was a lovely dinner outing; we will return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an enjoyable dinner with friends at De Novo the other night. The ambiance was warm, and we loved the idea of a pub with such a quirky menu. Our appetizers were the best part! Each plate sang with flavor and style. My only complaint would have to be the main courses that weren't as remarkable as the appetizers. Nonetheless, it remains a restaurant I'd consider revisiting.
