Impressive food and thoughtful service (with name and date on the box). One suggestion is that it would be better to mention adding bread requires $5, to avoid surprising bill. The room is a bit dim. But overall it is a great restaurant and will come again.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Absolutely worth the hype. It was busy when we arrived, so we grabbed seats at the bar and ended up loving the experience. The service was exceptional from start to finish, the ambiance felt warm and lively without being overwhelming, and the food was next level. We ordered the burrata, rigatoni, and pappardelle ai porcini, and every dish was outstanding. Already looking forward to going back.

We had such a wonderful experience at Osteria Novella! We grabbed seats at the bar and started the evening with several beautiful craft cocktails….each one perfectly balanced and thoughtfully made. To start, we had the sourdough topped with buffalo mozzarella, Piennolo tomatoes, and prosciutto… absolutely incredible. Fresh, flavorful, and the perfect way to kick off the meal. For our mains, we shared a scallop dish that was cooked to perfection and a gluten-free pasta with porcini mushrooms that was rich, earthy, and deeply satisfying. Every bite of both dishes was divine. The new build-out is stunning….warm, stylish, and inviting without feeling overdone. And the service? Truly impeccable. Attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. Highly, highly recommend Osteria Novella. We’ll definitely be back! 🍸🍝✨
