    Special occasions at Cafe Nuovo always over achieve and our latest experience exceeded our expectations. The menu is always tempting, flavors were delicious and the entire experience was 5⭐️ Dimitri and his staff have only priority for their dining guests and that is excellence. From the creative New Fashioned bourbon cocktail at the bar, crunchy sushi appetizer to start, massively delicious Veal Chop and sides, to the delectable desserts and espresso, we all departed immensely satisfied!

    Wonderful pre theater dinner. Scallops wrapped in bacon, crab & lobster ravioli, and lechee (milk cake) for desert. I don’t think I’ve had a better meal or dining experience!!! Our waiter was phenomenal, he knew we were going to the theater as was every other party in the restaurant, our cocktails and meal were served at a perfect pace. We so enjoyed the dining experience and we had more than enough time to make the show. We’re still discussing which was better the dinner or the show 😁
