    La Novella was a perfect restaurant to take our friends to celebrate their marriage. The kind hostess set us at an outside table by a heater because it was a cool fall afternoon. Once seated, the attentive waitress took our orders and gave good explanations of various menu options. The food was fantastic and we topped it off with a white chocolate dessert that was the exact replica of an orange filled with a yummy filling. We will visit the restaurant again for celebratory events.

    Food was great and excellent service. Multiple people checking on us throughout the night with a packed restaurant. Water glass was never empty and never waited too long for food. Server always had a smile on his face along with everyone else who came by. Most tender octopus I have ever had and the Lamb chops were delicious. Even my son wiped his shirt rib plate clean. Was celebrating my wife’s birthday and they even brought her a complimentary crème brûlée unexpectedly. Will definitely come back. Love finding new places that impress. My only knock is that it was a little noisy and hard to hear each other at a normal talking volume. But wouldn’t let that stop me from coming back.
