    While dining at Novara, a member of our party slipped on liquid on the floor and sustained injuries as a result. What is most troubling is not just the unsafe conditions that led to this fall, but also the lack of acknowledgment or assistance from Novara's staff. The owner, who was seated behind us and witnessed the entire accident, chose not to address us or offer help. Instead, he got up, wiped the floor, and then sat back down at his table without a word. We informed our server about the incident, expecting at least some level of concern or follow-up. Unfortunately, none was provided. This complete lack of care and accountability is unacceptable for a business responsible for the safety and well-being of its patrons. For this obvious reason, we won't be visiting Novara again.

    Everything was delicious - I really enjoyed the lobster roll, my husband had the papardelle bolognese, and we shared the cannolis for dessert. Great date night!

    Wonderful spot! It's lively and busy- the bar looked really fun. We had a high table and had delicious wine and food. The wine list is extensive and the food menu was great. The focaccia was a standout!

    My partners and I go here every weds night for dinner. As always, this week was spectacular with a twist. The block lost power due to the storm that day just as desert was coming out. The management and staff handled themselves and the situation professionally as we sat by candlelight eating our desert. I know it was stressful for the staff, but it was actually a very nice atmosphere at the table. Kudos to all!

    Met friends for a Christmas luncheon. Great choice. Nice ambiance, not too noisy, a little high class, but not too much. Food was excellent, presented beautifully. 3 of us got the luncheon 3 course special, and we were all happy with our meals. My cannoli dessert was delicious.
