    The food was excellent and that was only over shadowed by the super service. The food server and server attendant were exceptional. Only negative was the noise. Once the restaurant began to fill hearing my wife across the table became all but impossible. We would have stayed longer but just could not hear

    Nopa was a fantastic experience - haven’t been back for a decade and the food and service are as I remembered. Accommodated a seating request and a late guest arrival ; service was friendly and helpful. Food was exceptional. Best porchetta ever tasted; agnolotti was juicy; fried chicken was addicting. Great desserts; good bar experience. Won’t wait so long to return again. Parking is a challenge; take ride share and avoid the stress.
