First time here. Overall experience was just OK. Checked in with hostess (after she was done socializing) then she just pointed to where the rest of our table was seated already. Cute place but got really hot on the indoor patio even though it was raining. We were a table of 8 and server informed us no separate checks so we had to sit at table and figure out our individual charges at end of meal. Dishes looked/sounded good but everyone felt their dish (flavor, taste and portions) were just OK for the price.

We had a party of 2 for dinner at 8 pm on Friday, 5/22/26. The only reservations available online were for 9 pm or later, but we were able to snag a table for 8 pm by calling. Maybe there was a cancellation. It’s really pretty inside and there’s lovely seating outside too with trees that were beautifully lit. We were at a high top where it’s not as pretty, so we’ll just have to make reservations further ahead of time to be seated in the main dining room. We split 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, and 1 dessert. We finished all of it. Here’s what we got: - Carciofi alla Giudea ($13): The fried artichoke hearts with the garlic aioli were so delicious. - Caprese con Burrata ($16): Good, we think it would’ve been even better with balsamic glaze. - Gnocchi con Pomodoro e Panna, add Chicken ($21 + $7 for chicken): The sauce was soo delicious. While we normally prefer our gnocchi crispy on the outside, this was so good. - Parmigiana di Melanzane ($27): Good! There was some peel left on the eggplant that was really hard and inedible, but besides that, nice flavor! The spaghetti was good too. We wished they offered chicken parm, but that wasn’t on the menu. - Gelato ($6): We got one scoop of the H

A few work colleagues and I went out to dinner here one night and everyone was super happy with their meal. The hostess called us back when making a reservation because the online platform was booked completely. She told us that they could push some tables together and accommodate our party of 5. Our reservation was for 6PM and it was slowly getting full and by the time we left, it was completely packed and parities were waiting for their table. The atmosphere was lovely and lively, although a bottle of balsamic vinaigrette shattered nearby nearly missing our table towards the end of our dining experience but a team quickly came to clean it up. The gelato took this restaurant from a 4 star to a 5 star establishment! Wow, incredible selection of seasonal and traditional flavors. I wanted to try them all! I ended up ordering a pistachio affogato and it rivaled some of the gelato I had in Nice, France. It was truly Devine. We will be going back to this restaurant next year when we return for our annual work conference. I ordered the gnocchi which wasn’t too heavy and delicious. I almost ordered the special which was a large rigatoni in a spicy marinara sauce with a burrata in the cen

Nova Cocina offered a pleasant dining experience with good food and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. The Mela Amore is a refreshing apple-forward drink with a light, balanced sweetness and was pretty good. The Neapolitan focaccia, soft and airy with a lightly crisp exterior, was also good and made for a solid starter. For entrées, the lasagna special featured classic layers of pasta, sauce, and cheese and was good—comforting and filling. The lasagnette alla Bolognese, made with smaller ribbon-style pasta and a rich, slow-simmered meat sauce, was also good and well-prepared. Dessert was the highlight of the meal. The brown butter pecan gelato was very good, with a deep, nutty flavor and smooth, creamy texture. The budino de pana, a silky custard-style dessert, was enjoyable and nicely balanced. I also tried the olive oil gelato, which had a savory, herbaceous profile that wasn’t my cup of tea, though it was interesting to experience. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. Sitting in the communal section felt comfortable, and the window seating looked especially cozy with open windows and heaters. The music added to the overall vibe as well—at one point, “Remind Me” by Patricia Ru

Amazing food, service and atmosphere! Highly recommend! We are traveling for work and so happy we were invited to dine here. We enjoyed the veggie pizza, fried artichoke, fried eggplant, Bolognese, mushroom risotto, and the special leek ravioli. Must try their yummy gelato. We loved the olive oil and earl gray tea!! You can sample all the flavors. We had the chocolate bread pudding with straticciatella gelato for dessert. We sat inside but they have a beautiful outdoor area as well with heaters.
