We also shared the crispy artichokes which were delicious - it's a small portion, perfect for a starter to share. We wanted to try the homemade pasta and ordered the Linguine Cacio E Pepe, a traditional Italian dish, simple and made with perfection. The Orecchiette was also a winner with a slight hint of spice. The Ricotta Angnolotti served with asparagus was also delicious. We each took a little home from our servings. The food is rich in flavor and the atmosphere was warm and friendly - we never felt rushed, in fact we were encouraged to take our time and enjoy. Our birthday guest was treated to a complimentary dessert - the Zuppa Inglese which we shared, it's small but the perfect amount of cake and strawberry, loaded with flavor and not overly sweet.","submittedDateTime":"2023-04-21T17:18:18Z","rating":{"overall":5,"__typename":"ReviewRating"},"user":{"nickname":"Foodlovers","isVip":null,"profileColor":"ICECREAM","initials":"F","simpleModerationState":"APPROVED","profilePhoto":{"photoBySize":null,"__typename":"PublicDinerProfilePhoto"},"__typename":"ReviewUser"},"highlights":[{"startIndex":509,"endIndex":530,"__typename":"ReviewHighlight"}],"__typename":"DishReview"}],"photos":[],"__typename":"Dish"},{"dishId":"1085311-1bc03c92c23e39729aa1e385800a0f18","name":"Rigatoni","description":"Short Rib Ragu","reviewCount":21,"reviews":[{"reviewId":"OT-1085311-30936-140034656154","text":"Incredible and innovative homemade pasta.

Always a fabulous experience! Pork belly appetizer and mushroom toast got rave reviews. Eggplant Parmigiana was ooey gooey and delicious. All four diners were very happy. Chris - our server - did an excellent job of filling in for our favorite server who was enjoying a much deserved Mother’s Day holiday!

We pretty much had most of the things on the menu. Bread, pork belly, Caesar salad, carbonara, short rib and the gnocchi. Everything was delicious!!

This was our second time visiting Novella. Our first visit was early on when they had just opened. My wife and I thought the dining experience was better in all aspects on this visit. Glad that we gave it a second try.
