    This place is a gem. We live in the city and were in the area enjoying our Sunday meeting some friends. My son loves pasta, we decided to give it a try because of its amazing reviews and WOW!! Everything was so delicious. The staff was very welcoming and sweet. This place is defiantly recommended if you live or are in the area. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you for our great experience, delicious food and desert.

    We had lunch here after our sons baptism and could not be more satisfied with this restaurant. It was roughly 30 people and I can honestly say that every single person really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. The staff is so friendly and attentive, too. I can’t say it enough, but the food is amazing. Highly recommend for large parties or just a casual dinner for 2. Thank you for making our sons baptism an even better day!

    I have been here three times and all were a great experience. The food is delicious 🤤 and the bread omg it’s amazing 🤩. Service is great Sarahi (I’m sorry if I misspelled her name) she was our server and was perfect so great. Our order was perfect and she kept our table taken care of with a great smile and suggestions for us. We had a late Mother’s Day dinner there on a Friday night and we’re seated right away with a great smile. Place is clean, enough seating for dinning. They also have a bar area and plenty of drinks and wine selections along with food selections.

    I ordered through Grub Hub recently and I was shocked when my food arrived...what a joke! And I've dined inside and ordered pickup in the past and my food was always good...I can't believe they actually sent this food out!! I ordered the chicken limone, mushroom pizza, baked mostaccioli (with ricotta), fried calamari, and minestrone included as sides. Everything looked liked it was put together in 20 minutes..and it taste like it too. They chopped vegetables, water and some tomato sauce for the ministrone..I'm not kidding the broth tasted like water. Dumped it. The chicken had no preparation. small two pieces with some dry roasted bland potatoes. Pizza crust was not baked through. And the prize of the night, My baked mostaccioli was thrown together penne pasta with sauce and some melted mozzarella on top. No ricotta, not baked either. Everything SUCKED. And at almost $70 w/tip, I'll never go there again. No bread (as included), and no lemon for the calamari. Why wouldn't you treat your delivery orders the same as your dine-in or carry out?? No integrity here. Shame on you.

    Our server Sadia was fantastic. She greeted us the moment we walked in the door. We had a table and drinks within 2 minutes. And the warm bread was amazing!! Food was spot on and the authenticity of the food was incredible. Will definitely return and highly recommend.

    My favorite place to go!! Food is always amazing, staff are so friendly and knowledgeable, especially Saadia and Alex. Cool atmosphere and great hospitality- they really make you feel like family here. Veal Shank is one of my faves! (See photo) If you haven’t been here you are missing out! Thank you Nuova staff for great experience always. 🙌🏼

    Had dinner here tonight and really enjoyed it. The food is authentic, the service is excellent and the prices are fair and affordable. Great place! Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Val T. 6 months ago on Google
    This place is amazing. I was so impressed with the service, the food, the wine. Omg - THE WINE. Italian wine. If you’re looking for an authentic Italian meal, look no further - hands down the best I’ve ever had. I’ll be going back for sure. Our waitress was amazing, she predicts what you need before you even ask. It’s rare to find service like that these days.

  • 5/5 Shelby 7 months ago on Google
    Amazing food and great environment. I haven't had a linguini and clams this good in a while (I did get it with Angel hair), and for the price, you can't beat it! Also had the buffalo mozzarella caprese and it was so good. The portions are also big!

  • 5/5 Kathy L. 10 months ago on Google

    Great venue to reserve for a 15-person family reunion dinner. Sadia arranged everything wonderfully and ensured the evening went smoothly. Tasty Italian dishes, best pizza, great wine, and a welcoming service that makes you feel like family.

    Stopped in for a late lunch with friends. We are from out of state, it was our first visit to Nuova. The hostess/ server greated us as soon as we walked in. Outstanding job guiding us through our lunch options and specials. We enjoyed excellent appetizers, lunch, wine and dessert. Service and food could not have been better. Next time we are passing through Nuova will be our first stop.

    Haven't been here in a while. Was there for a memorial luncheon. Their service was really great and had a full staff that really was kickin it! From the olive oil and bread to the desert, it was quality, well presented food. There was a bar inside and was remodeled very nicely. We'll be back again. Would recommend for a nice family feel.

  • 5/5 Lorena M. 11 months ago on Google
    5 star all around! Delicious food, great atmosphere and amazing service. We were greeted like family the minute we walked in. Our waitress Sadea was amazing! Highly recommended for any occasion.

  • 5/5 Zack A. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely incredible food, service, and atmosphere. I have been here with my fiance and family several times and this restaurant never disappoints. Authentic, delicious dishes with truly original flavors. We have been to dozens of Italian restaurants in and around Chicago and this is by far the greatest. The service and decor are impeccable as well. Highly highly recommend!!

  • 5/5 Patricia F. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious food. Excellent service. Greeted immediately when walked in the door by two workers with a friendly smile and service. Our waitress continuously checked on us to make sure I shoot was good and if we needed anything. This was our first visit and we will be back. After I ate half of the dish I decided to take a photo for review! The presentation was beautiful when it arrived at the table.

  • 2/5 Blanca A. 1 year ago on Google
    I was told to come here because they had such great food. My husband, my son and I went. And the only one that enjoyed their food was my 12 year old son. I felt that my chicken was too dry and the sauce was not up to par. I wouldn't go again. I gave it 2 starts because our waited was friendly.

  • 5/5 Angela A. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was amazing. They were great with our group of 8 people. No one went home hungry and everyone was very satisfied with their food. Sadea was our server and she was great! I wish we lived closer because I would go every day.

    We are out of towners here for the weekend. This restaurant was recommended by a local. It was easy to find. Staff/owners are terrific and the food AMAZING. We all had different things. Everyone was highly satisfied. I give it 5 stars. Great wine list and desert also.
