  • 5/5 Steven S. 2 years ago on Google
    Wow, we were looking for a restaurant on they final evening of our honeymoon. We discovered here and it was amazing, the staff were very friendly and the portion sizes were very generous. We had artichoke stuffed to start and mains were seafood linguine and salmon fettuccine. We had two glasses of red wine also. We enjoyed the night as was music on and we sat outside under canopy. The waiter was Italian and so is my wife so they spoke about where from and family. It was the best place for our last night. Shame as we would have gone back. I highly recommend this place for Italian food and great atmosphere. Thank you again and hopefully we can return again one day.

    I had a baby shower here and it was very disappointing. The food was really lacking. It wasn’t anything like we agreed on. Also we agreed on having pitchers of mimosas on the table they had bottles of wine and charged me an obscene amount of money for them. I strongly recommend you don’t have your party here. The owner’s disposition was so different from when I booked to when we were having our party. Terrible!!

    This was our families first time here. The food and service were great tonight. Their red sauce is delicious. We had it with the fried calamari. We also ordered Cesar salad for 2, Penne alla vodka with grilled chicken, Penne alla nona & Pollo Al Novella. Great portion size as well. We will definitely be back.

    This place is fabulous. I've had several parties here as well as just dinner and get togethers. I even had to have a memorial service dinner and once again the best food,drinks and service.The owners are the best as well as the staff. They always have gone above and beyond with me and my family. We love love love this place.

    Great food and attentive staff! I've had parties here as well and every time I'm told how great the food was. My husband and I recently went for dinner. I had the seafood over linguine with a spicy red sauce which was fantastic! We've gone again after they had some renovations. I had the lamb and my husband had the pork special. Both were fantastic. We sat in the new extended section set up patio style. The atmosphere was nice and the room was comfortable. Service as always was as great as the food!.

    Went here on Father's day. Service was good. Food was ok, not the greatest. Portions were big. We sat outside & the waitress was also tge bartender, which seems like alot of work put on the staff. Our server was very friendly.

    Food was subpar. Service was slow. Like ridiculously slow. They only had one other customer and it took over 40 mins to get our food. Salmon in olive sauce??It was disgusting. Never thought you could screw up salmon but THEY figured out how to. Stick to the pasta.. order the penne a la vodka… it was ok. I’ve had better pasta at Olive Garden!!!

    This was our third time eating here. Not often but 2-3 times yearly. The staff and owner on premise are great....still are. We truly enjoyed our first couple of visits however the food missed the mark this time. We were a very large group ordering al la carte so that could have been the problem or kitchen staffing? Either way we will likely go back assuming it was just an off evening.

    La Novella is the best in town! If you’re looking for amazing Italian food with incredible staff , this place is a must! Owner Michael and Ivette are two of the sweetest people I’ve ever met! They are always there and their love for what they do shines through!! A secret gem with a huge party room for all your events and parties!

    Staff treats you like family. This is the sole reason for 3 stars. My 1st time here and when I picked up the bread it was hard like your head. Did not want to start complaining. My chicken was subpar - edible, but not tastefully exhilarating. Requested a steak knife and was given a dirty one. This time I requested a clean 1. Highly unlikely I would return.

    Our first visit after passing the place so many times. AMAZING place like going to visit the family and the food was amazing. A warm and welcoming place cannot wait to return.

👍👍 Pretty good food for the price. Juicy quarter pound burger. Onion rings were crispy though a little on the salty side to me. Root beer helped it all go done! Filling and satisfying. Thanks! Took it to nearby Eisenhower park to feast.

👍 One of the only Diners left on Long Island that has early and late hours. Food is a little pricier than other places; however the amount of food received is worth the cost. Restaurant has been there for well over 30 years, as long as I can remember. Food is good. I had a slight issue with my coffee...
