Novita is a vibrant 60-seat trattoria serving a seasonally inspired, modern Italian menu.
Chef owner Marco Fregonese’s innovative take on classical, regional cooking begins with the finest, artisan ingredients and freshest, seasonal products. His distinctive light and flavorful dishes are pure and satisfying and perfectly complemented by a select list of wines from superb Italian specialty and boutique growers.
Novita is located a few steps down from a quiet tree lined street in the Gramercy Park neighborhood. The setting is warm and elegant and the mood quintessentially Italian. In pleasant weather, sidewalk, alfresco dining is offered further adding to Novita’s year round appeal.

    The fried squash blossoms were unbelievable, so make sure you ask what’s good on the specials. Ask for the Ragu sauce, it is in a class all by itself, making the pasta dishes stand out. They have wonderful wines by the glass if you don’t want one of the great bottles on the well chosen list.

    Periodically it felt as though the server forgot we were there. Otherwise the food was absolutely fantastic with an excellent wine selection. The desserts were absolutely delightful. The space also felt a little small for the amount of tables in there.

    A neighborhood treasure. The food is first-rate. Delicious homemade pasta, fish and other dishes delighted our party of four. The zucchini flowers may have been the best I have ever had. The main dining room is elegant, furnished in neutrals, and very Italian. It was quite full at Sunday dinner and therefore somewhat noisy. It’s a little hard to hear if you are over a certain age, but the convivial atmosphere makes up for that! The rear dining room was quieter than the main room, though I think the service - though friendly- was a little less attentive. Nevertheless, the hosts and servers gave us the feeling of being in a family establishment, in the best way. I am eager to return!

    This continues to be one of my favorite restaurants in NY. We had the swordfish, the truffle pasta and the snapper. All three were exceptional. Our waiter was attentive without being overbearing- a perfect balance. The atmosphere is warm and up beat but not too noisy. nothing could have been better.

    This is one of my favorite places in NYC...been dining at Novita for at least 20 years. If you are just visiting- you'll find a quintessential NY dining experience. Enjoy.
