Some of the best Italian food in the area. We always make reservations, but probably didn’t need them. Went for a quiet birthday dinner. Food was wonderful as always. Excellent service highly recommend.

Another delicious meal at Novella! The chicken piccata was amazing. We always love the pork belly and the rigatoni and of course that delicious bread! The service is always wonderful and the bartenders are the best. One of our favorite restaurants.

I had lunch here with a friend and I have nothing but good to report. Our server was spot on with her timing at every step, the butternut squash ravioli I ordered was a winter miracle of happiness to eat, and the restaurant atmosphere was warm and cozy. Great job Valentina’s! I’ll be back and soon.
