Food: Innovative and fresh, yet plain
Novo Cafe's dishes are truly a delight to the palate. The Pollo Novo Panini, Gluten Free Pasta, and Spaghetti with Squid Ink Pasta are all stars of the menu. However, it's the restaurant’s creativity and commitment to freshness that really shines through, offering authentic Italian food with uncompromised quality. Yet, some find it lacking in flavor or excitement, hence it may not cater to all.
Great Quality
Fresh, homemade, authentic pasta highly praised for its quality and taste.
Okay Portions
Good portion sizes overall; some see as perfect for sharing, others mixed.
Bad Variety
Confusing multiple menus, unclear offerings, and differences online.

- 3
Spaghetti with Squid Ink Pasta
Super flavorful, filled with delicious seafood, and considered the best.
Vibe: Inviting space with a twist
Novo Cafe has nailed 'the vibe'. Its ambiance, entertainment, and readiness for date night all are top-notch. A pinch of live music and the restaurant's impressive selection of drinks create a fun atmosphere. While the locale may not offer stunning views, it’s more than made up by the cozy, chic design and a private, intimate setting.
Great Ambiance
Cozy, chic design enhances dining experience, with perfect ambiance and warmth.
Okay Buzz
Nice vibe, lively onsite atmosphere but takeout experience has worsened.
No Views
Obstructed view by bushes, and plain side street view.
Perks: Struggle for parking, ease for diet
Keeping things neutral with perks, diet options here are regarded highly with their accommodations for vegan and gluten-free eaters. It's a great spot for group celebrations and even pets receive a warm welcome. However, parking is a persistent hassle for guests; and reservations seem unnecessary with many empty tables usually spotted.
Great For Kids
Staff is friendly and accommodating to kids, with suitable meal options.
Okay Service
Service sometimes slow, but quality food and friendliness often compensate.
Hard To Reserve
Perplexed by need for reservations amidst many empty tables available.
