Always great to dine at NOVY. FYI..the octopus salad has changed so we switched to the fried calamari salad and asked if the could sauté instead of fry. Not a problem and the salad was huge and delicious!!!

This is our every Friday night restaurant. We love everything from the food ambience service. They are just the best! We had our favorite fried calamari and we both had cioppino. Both were outstanding! There are so many great entrées on this menu. I love the moussaka, Brussel sprouts shrimp and salmon pasta, both burgers are excellent.

So glad we decided to try Novy! They had a special of cioppino, which was excellent. The avgolomeno soup & dolmas were some of the best ever. But the dessert -Galaktoboureko- was fantastic! Nice ambience, great service. We will be going again soon!
