My granddaughter and enjoyed a very good dinner. The two pastas were delicious. We each had dessert and again were very happy. The food is great, service attentive and very reasonable prices. I’m always happy when I come to Novita.

Welcoming and attentive service made this business luncheon comfortable and productive, but the food was a little disappointing. The half soup / half sandwich offering is a good value, nicely presented, and creatively prepared. The soup should have been hotter, and the chicken sandwich had chunks of sour rhubarb and a drippy sauce that made it too messy to eat without a fork. Super friendly service and a great vibe will make me want to try again and order something different.

Excellent food! And the ambience is nicer than you’d expect given its location in a strip of stores on Central Ave.
