Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in Novato

We always enjoy Foreign Cinema. They are great about accommodating my wheelchair, the food is fantastic, and the service is always excellent. We love it.

As previously dining at the Kokkari was a great experience. Both the "Mezethes" and the entres were well prepared. The grilled whole fish (lavraki) was delicious. If i were to find one shortcoming it would be that the sauce should be more lemony. Also the ravili Greek style were very good with delicious broth. Service attentive and prompt. Great place for lunch or dinner.

Amazing, delicious food and the service is always first rate. Server was Pam and she was awesome. Consume was yummy, the popovers are to die for and the apple pie and NM chocolate chip cookie….oh my gosh! So good. The petrale sole was tasty too. The ambience is the best! Love the view and the ceiling!

Excellent service from beginning to end. Our waiter was superb. Food was heavenly as always. Always a special treat to celebrate occassions here. Disappointed though they don’t do the complimentary birthday desserts anymore. We ordered desserts but HOPR used to also do a fun little free birthday dessert for the birthday guests.

Once again, it was a wonderful experience at Chianti. The food is very good, the marinara sauce is delicious, the wine list has plenty of good choices and is very reasonable and the people are very nice. Been going there for years and I can honestly say I always had a good experience and very good meals. They do a really good job hiring the staff there. The wait staff has always been very friendly, attentive and helpful. Has the feel of an old-time, NY family Italian restaurant. This falls under the category of hidden gem! Would highly recommend it.
