Margherita assisted us. It was another great night of food and drink. The place was packed, as usual, and very fun to be part of. The rigatoni with tuna was delicious. The entire staff was very helpful. I can’t wait to get back into town to go again.

Novita was a new one for us and now we’ll be a patron whenever we are in Manhattan. The ambience is charming and the service is most attentive. The food, well the food is superb. I love a simple Minestrone and the one at Novita is great on all counts. I, especially need my Soup hot and I did not even have to ask, it was hot immediately upon serving. The Veal Milanese was perfect, pounded thin with an excellent crust and outstanding taste. How I wish we were there tonight!!! Cannot be beat!

It is disappointing to write negatively of a restaurant that has for over a decade been a neighborhood favorite. I regret to say that my last two meals there have been veery disappointing. Both the food quality and service have declined significantly, and the presentation has also been noticeably indifferent. I cannot be certain but it would seem that the kitchen staff is changed. The selection of fresh seafood, meats and vegetables is no longer dependable; the preparation is careless. The wait staff has dwindled down to a single person who both serves and busses tables. His appearance and knowledge is inadequate for a restaurant of this supposed standing. The maitre 'd seems to have lost interest in the clientele and the atmosphere of the restaurant. I think I will give it one more try and hope that my critique was ill-founded.
