    Food was outstanding and the service terrific. Enjoyed mushrooms, meatballs and cauliflower as appetizers. All were plentiful and delicious. Entrees were outstanding - scampi, short ribs and chicken piccata. Shared cannolis, banana pudding and biscotti for dessert. All were scrumptious. I would highly recommend Novara to others.

    We got there a little early so had a glass of wine at the bar while we waited for the rest of our party. Bar tenders were helpful, personable and kind. Our waiter was extremely attentive and was extremely knowledgeable with both food and wine menu. We got duck, short rib and pasta and all of us couldn’t be happier with our meals!! Espresso martinis were amazing!!!! We all purchased some to go they were so good..

    Went for Dinner on a Saturday night. The complimentary Valet was a huge help as we could not find street parking and was so kind and opened my door for me. I am definitely glad I made a reservation in advance as all tables were full and the bar was packed! Erin was our server and she was great! Very nice and attentive even during the dinner rush. The Seafood Scampi had nice amount of lobster, scallops and shrimp and was seasoned well. The Filet was cooked perfectly and the mashed potatoes were delicious. To top off the evening I ordered an espresso martini that was smooth and creamy. 10/10 would return for another meal.
