    I love going to Nuovo and most often celebrate my birthday there. The food is excellent, and they accommodate my dairy allergy. Last night Natalia was our server and she was amazing! And of course Loretta, thank you for your kindness, as always! Love this place!

    Everything was pretty good. the waiter asked us if we were going to the theater after and we said yes. He then said he would make sure we're out in time to attend. When we arrived at the theater they gave us a bulletin, and when we opened it to read it there was a page about Nuovo, and it said if you eat there, and going to the theater you get 10% off your bill. You only have to show them your tickets. He new we were going because he asked, but never gave it the 10% off.

    An unfortunate experience at Nuovo last night. Everything arrived at the table late: waited for drinks … food … had to ask for bread. I found a piece of plastic in my dessert. My daughter enjoyed the ravioli; the sauce on my pasta was fine but could have been reduced a bit more. My cocktail was good. The server apologized for the wait and the plastic, but he seemed like he was in over his head. Also, I asked 3 people if the valet was complimentary (so I could have cash ready), and no one knew. Overall, disappointing.

    Let me start by saying there are far too many options for Italian on Shrewsbury St in Worcester to waste your time at Nuovo. Made a reservation for 7pm and food did not arrive on the table until 8:30pm. Typically not a big deal as long as the server is checks in and keeps the drinks flowing. Not the case here, had to go to the bar and order second round of drinks because the sever was no where to be found or just didn’t want to come to the table. Food was mediocre and the salmon was raw in the middle. The server never came to check on us after the food arrived so when we told her about the salmon, plates had been cleared. Rather than take the item off of the check, the salmon was reheated and brought back to the table and we were charged for it. The manager did at one point recognize the ridiculous expensive we were having and the time it was taking for food and brought over meatballs, which were appreciated. TLDR: - bad service - good drinks - skip this place and go to Piccolo’s

    My husband and I celebrated our 9th anniversary at Nuovo, and we couldn’t have chosen a better place for such a special occasion. From the moment we walked in, we were enveloped by an inviting atmosphere that perfectly blended elegance with warmth. Ambiance: Nuovo boasts a chic yet cozy decor, with soft lighting and tasteful artwork that create a romantic setting. The layout is thoughtfully designed, providing intimate seating while still allowing for a lively buzz of conversation. We were seated at a lovely table by the window, which offered a picturesque view of the bustling street outside, adding to the charm of our evening. Service: The service was impeccable. Our server greeted us with a warm smile and was attentive without being intrusive. They expertly guided us through the menu, offering thoughtful recommendations that showcased the restaurant’s best dishes. It was evident that the staff was well-trained and genuinely cared about making our experience memorable. Drinks: We also enjoyed a bottle of wine from their impressive selection, It paired perfectly with our meal and added an extra layer of enjoyment to our dining experience. Overall Experience: Nuovo surpassed all our expectations. The combination of exquisite food, attentive service, and a romantic ambiance made our anniversary truly unforgettable. We left with full hearts and full stomachs, already planning our next visit. If you’re looking for a place to celebrate a special occasion or simply enjoy a fantastic meal, I wholeheartedly recommend Nuovo. Thank you for making our anniversary so special!

    The staff was friendly and accommodating from the moment we walked in. The food was delicious. The eggplant rollatine appetizer was light and fresh. We had the Chicken Parm and Chicken Piccata entrees with the creamy rice and sautéed broccoli sides. All of which did not disappoint. The roll served was a little hard. The tiramisu was nothing to write home about but was still good. If we are back in the Worcester area we will be back to Nuovo!
