    Disappointing, to say the least. Understaffed table service during a slow evening. Waited a long while before our waiter came by. Had to help ourselves to the water as our waiter was nowhere to be seen. Manager was busy chatting with a take-out customer who was waiting at a table next to us. She offered him water and went out of her way to make sure he's comfortable while he waited, but didn't seem to notice we were waiting for water and our server. After a long while, we flagged our server hurried by on some other errand, to ask for bread. The salads came, but before we were done with them, the pastas came, and got cold while we finished our salads. And it was cold. The door between the dining room and the patio did not shut properly. Every time someone went in or out (often!), the draft came in and blasted us. When I got up (several times) to shut the door properly, the Manager commented that they ought to fix the door! (yes, but she could also have shut it too!) We enjoyed the Novo Cafe in Westlake and thought we would give Burbank a try. Disappointed.

    Always constantly good! Hand made pasta, delicious sauces, fresh ingredients and friendly service. What more can we ask for.

    It was excellent! I had chicken parmigiana. It was huge. The marinara sauce was really tasty and was served with your choice of side. I chose the spinach. Very fresh and seasoned to perfection :) my one son got penne arriabatta. He loved every bite and soaked up the leftover sauce with bread. Finally, my other son ordered the chicken Marcella. It was delicious and very generous with the mushrooms. We left so full and happy, but no room for dessert!! We will definitely go back.

    Loved the outdoor patio dinning and our waitress was very attentive. Food was delicious. I had the white fish, my husband had the chicken parmesan. Our friend had the seafood risotto and her husband had the traditional spaghetti. We all gave 5 starts to our tasty food and can’t wait to go back.  Tiramisu was excellent also.

    Be warned, the “Jumbo Scallops” and risotto is a joke. They really should rename it to “Huge Plate of Risotto with three teeny tiny scallops maybe the size of a 50 cent piece.” Besides the false advertisement, it was truly one of the most flavorless meals I’ve ever had at this restaurant. The service was just ok.

    luckily, they were not too busy because when we arrived, they had not received my reservation and were able to accommodate us (party of six). In the future, please verify your reservations when reserving through Open Table.

    This was our first visit to Novo as we were just looking for somewhere close to the Zoo, and it turned out to be a great find. The food was great, though I like our Carbonara recipe better. They offer gluten free pasta and pizza crust (curst as it says on the menu)😂, and plenty of options. We had an issue of broken shell in the clams, but the staff dealt with it well. Overall the staff were friendly, welcoming and efficient. If we are in the area we would definitely go back.
