    My granddaughter and enjoyed a very good dinner. The two pastas were delicious. We each had dessert and again were very happy. The food is great, service attentive and very reasonable prices. I’m always happy when I come to Novita.

    Had a GREAT time here! Came here to celebrate valentine’s day and waitress was the nicest woman, super friendly and attentive!! We started off with the complimentary fresh bread and ordered these delicious mussels in white wine with garlic for an appetizer- the portion was HUGEEE too. For dinner, we had the broccoli rabe rigatoni and lobster ravioli—both generous portions as well and full of flavor!! As a nice touch, they gave us complimentary honey drenched muffins and rice pudding since it was our first visit. Definitely recommend for amazing food and great service!

    Everything was outstanding. Top quality food and excellent service. It’s a beautiful place. Loved the music they were playing and it wasn’t too loud. Everything was perfect right down to the chocolate covered strawberries. Love going to Sparrows. Highly recommend it.
