Booked 11 times today
Novelli presents as a refined tribute to Northern Italian and continental cuisine. While Southern Italian cooking leans toward seafood and the Mediterranean, Northern Italian flavors share the bold, rustic spirit found across the Iberian and Aegean regions. The dining room is a feast for the senses: candlelit centerpieces atop crisp white linens, with walls adorned by vineyard- and farm-inspired art that evokes a timeless Italian countryside.Under Head Chef Rob Rold, the kitchen highlights exceptional Italian ingredients crafted into thoughtful dishes. Starters include a grilled Portobello with gorgonzola finished in a balsamic glaze, and Kobe beef meatballs simmered in San Marzano tomato sauce. Entrees continue the creative thread—a curated selection of value-driven steaks and a standout brick chicken: Cornish game hen roasted with garlic and herbs. If you’d like this tweaked for a different voice (more luxurious, more approachable, more ingredient-forward), I can tailor it further.

    It was so wonderful that we dined here 3 times in 3 weeks! I’m visiting my mom and brought and her friends here for Mother’s Day and they loved the special - crab ravioli in homemade spinach pasta, and I had the most tender octopus and a delicious watermelon salad. Since then I brought my mom back 2 more times and she loved the seafood and homemade squid ink pasta. Yesterday they brought out her limoncello and homemade gelato with a cake sparkler and sang happy birthday to her. She was laughing so much and we had such a wonderful time and meal. Edlii took great care of us and asked the kitchen to make the special watermelon salad and the side vegetables as an assortment. Definitely a special restaurant with wonderful service. They offer valet service on Fridays and Saturdays, and be prepared for the noise level, as it’s a happening place filled with joyous conversations. It’s now my mom’s favorite restaurant (on or second visit they gave her a copy of the menu as a souvenir) and I look forward to bringing her back when I visit her again in the fall. Thank you, Novelli! P.S. wish I could order their seafood and homemade squid ink pasta on DoorDash for my mom. Would be great to treat her to her favorite dish when I’m not there.
