A good but very crowded Italian spot. The tuna tartare and the carbonara were both delicious. Our reservation wasn’t ready when we arrived, but at least they gave us complementary sparkling wine while we waited.

Nice Italian spot on Park Ave. I had the Carbonara. Very rich and pasta is cooked perfectly. Great desserts as well. Highly recommend this place for like a date night. They have a great selection for food, wine and drinks. Nice ambience and great service as well.

This is a little jewel in the city, you get the great atmosphere of an extraoridary personal attention, the owners will be taking care of you in an extremely friendly yet proffessional way. Every item in the menu is perfectly executed, great flavors. This place is a must, don't miss it!!!

Some of the best Italian I have ever had. All of their pasta is made in house. Fantastic service and a great wine list. The restaurant is Cozy and there are a few seats outside on the street. Recommendations: Gnocchi, calamari salad, minestrone and profiteroles.

Amazing cozy luxury vibe. Service was fast and people are very welcoming. Love the pasta.

From the moment we stepped down into the space, we knew we were in for a great experience. The main dining room was filling up, and the buzz felt like classic NYC. Service was warm and immediate…water arrived right away, along with a generous bread basket featuring the best toast sticks (honestly worth mentioning on their own). We started with the eggplant appetizer, which was spot-on: the right balance of tomatoes and fresh mozzarella, and the perfect way to wake up the palate. The wild mushroom salad was equally delicious…earthy, satisfying, and beautifully composed. For mains, we had the pappardelle with lamb ragù. The flavor and texture were excellent, though I was a little surprised to find the lamb was ground rather than shredded. The true standout, though, was the swordfish Milanese…perfectly crisp, not heavy, and made even better by the fresh tomato salad layered on top. We paired it all with a lovely Italian red and finished with tiramisu. All in all, a fantastic evening…the perfect escape from the cold.

Delicious food, good service, nice atmosphere. One thing to watch out for is the additional charge to split a dish. I haven’t come across anything like this before. We wanted to share the chicken dish and we were charged this for splitting. But we didn’t even mean to say we wanted it split as having it on one dish is fine. Just something to look out for since I’m not a fan of the more “hidden” fees. We enjoyed the outdoor seating. The road is not very busy with cars/pedestrians so it was peaceful. The only thing I’d fix is the tables for two were pretty small. Great service from our waiter and the rest of the staff. All outdoor tables were covered by one waiter so I thought he was doing a great job! Food was great. The clam dish was interesting in that it wasn’t a traditional clam sauce as it was pretty light. A bit lacking in flavors because of that The lobster ragu was great. Lots of lobster, good flavors. The pasta here was interesting in that it was very much like lo-mein, kinda odd but thought it was cool The chicken dish was unique with the stuffings. It was a bit dry. The sauce and potatoes were perfect though. The profiteroles were good. Not too sweet and a good mix with the ice cream in the center. Overall, expensive for what it is but I’d be willing to come back to try some of their other dishes

Lovely little neighborhood spot with intimate service and good food. I had a great Malbec, enjoyed the carbonara and the veal Milanese. The crepe dessert was not what I would have selected but I’m really glad we went with it. The cream was delicious and fresh. The carpaccio was layered a bit and colder than I am accustomed so I had to let it sit as well as separate the thinly cut slices. I thought the zucchini flower was a bit heavy on the fried batter and the martini was just okay. Overall, a very lovely experience. The service was great and I liked that they split the servings for us to share but I’m not sure I left with the feeling of needing to return. FYI the pictures do not do the food justice and we dove into the crepe dessert so no picture there!

We had a dinner date here and had a very memorable experience. The service at Novita was excellent, it was some of the best service we've ever had in NYC. We sat outside in their individual glass house and it felt very romantic. The staff was very attentive and checked in on us constantly. Our food came out on time and tasted excellent. They had a great selection of wines as well, pricey, but worth it. We got the zucchini fritti as an appetizer and it tasted really good. Was well fried and perfectly cooked. My only feedback was that it would be nice if it came with a balsamic glaze or some other type of sauce. The pasta was perfectly al dente. And for dessert we got the cream puff, it was mouth watering! Instagram Handle: @TheShahLALand

Good food. Nice wine selection. Very tight seating, but a delicious dining experience. Ivan was an excellent server. He was personable, professional and super attentive. A terrific guy! The place was packed....which is always a good sign.

Enjoyed a delicious outdoor lunch on November 12 during a heavy rain in a one-table, greenhouse enclosure with an open door & roof hatch for great airflow. Wonderful to have a classy lunch during these difficult, challenging times.

Arrived early for a 7:30 reservation. Took 20 min to get our drink orders another hour to get appetizers. We had a show starting strictly at 9:30 so I never actually got to eat my pasta dinner since it arrived moth burning hot at 9:25. We had mentioned to the staff a few times about our show time to which they shrugged and kept ignoring our table. We never had the opportunity to order a 2nd drink. At the end I mentioned the issues to the manager and that we had to leave without eating our main course because of the delays. Without apology the manager offered (just me) a drink on the house as if another 20 min delay was going to solve for us missing our show. Waiter hit me in the head a few times on the service, they took our appetizers before we were finished (only to have us wait another hour), I never got a big fork after asking a few times. The food looked good, wish in 2 hours they could have managed to serve me a pasta plate.
