Reviews for Novara Restaurant in Milton, MA
Exceptional from beginning to end. The seafood tray was beyond our expectation - humongous shrimps (oxymoron, I know), with... phenomenal oyster and lobster like that from a Maine lobster roll. The Cod with risotto was on point, as was the seafood pastawith perfectly done scallops - the ribeye steak was perfect from first to last bit; only the bone was spared. I was expecting tofind this exceptional of Italian dinning outside of Italian alley, but glad I was wrong. Read more
Came here for the first time to celebrate my birthday and was not disappointed! It’s a beautiful restaurant and we had a table... on their patio and the atmosphere was very enjoyable. The pasta is homemade and delicious! We only had a small issue with theraw oysters but they quickly fixed that, no problem. Service was friendly and fast. I would definitely come back! Read more
Food, service and atmosphere were all good here. We went for restaurant week to check it out, butI will definitely be coming... back again. The chicken parm with some of the best I have had; the sauce was well balanced (not to acidic, not too sweet), withthe chicken being tender and juicy, and the pasta being al dente. The Cod Florentine was cooked two perfection, with there beinga lovely crust on the cod itself, and vegetables on top being just right, with the fingerling potatoes being tender and notoverly oily or greasy. Calamari was flavored very well, not oily, fried well, with a good amount of aioli dressing on top,sitting on a bed of peppers for spice. The truffle fries, were cooked well, with not too much truffle or salt on top, and thefries themselves not being overly cooked to the point where they are burnt. The pistachio gelato was smooth and delectable, awonderful dessert to end a very good meal. The service from the staff was great, and they were welcoming and friendly. This isdefinitely a restaurant to go to again and again! Read more
Unfortunately disappointing. I wish the grand ambiance and decor were as good as the food. The food was very average, and lacked... flavor, creativity, and finesse. The server was sweet and friendly. Read more
Nice ambiance, lively music to enjoy while sipping drinks. Watching open kitchen that has open fire oven, best for that baked n... crusty pizzas. Even gluten-free. Menu is consumer friendly and happily accommodating to all who are vegans, gluten-free,etc Prices do range from affordable to more pricey dishes. Lunch specials very appetizing with only $22 3 courses meal with fewoptions to choose. Do recommend to check it out!! Especially for lone diners like myself. Read more
Quick review: Pros: food is astounding, the decor and building are unique, the staff is so kind Cons: it's a tad bit more... expensive but not much more than your average restaurant. Long review, This building used to be a theater and they've kept thespirit alive in their decor. It's a beautiful building with so much natural light. Wonderful movie posters decorate the wallsand old silent movies play on a big screen. It's a gorgeous ambiance. The food is fantastic. We went for a Sunday brunch. Thebreakfast pizza was to die for. Everything we ordered was wonderful. Not a single bad or even mediocre order. It was all wellprepared, delicious, and perfect size. All of us were so happy with the orders. The staff and our waitresses were so kind. Nobad things about our restaurant. Read more
Amazing food! Amazing service! Being gluten and dairy free it can be challenging at times to eat out. But I was pleasantly... surprised that they had quite a few options available and even made a dairy-free lobster risotto for me! It was so delicious!Will definitely be back! Read more
Our evening out for a special date was nice. The reservation process went smoothly and we were sat promptly. Our waitress,... nameless, was friendly and while she clearly had too many tables assigned, was still moderately attentive yo Our needs.Cocktails were delivered quickly and they were tasty. Our meal consisted of the mussel appetizer and meals were the ribeyespecial and the seared scallops. Mussles: tasty but small. I did tell the waitress they were quite gritty. Sand in nearly everybite is not what I expected. My husband also noted they were quite small however that is not necessarily within the power of therestaurant. Scallops dish: the scallops themselves were flavorful and cooked perfectly, however, they too were gritty. Whomeveris in charge of cleaning the shellfish needs to do better. The risotto was delicious save for pieces of overcookedlobster. Ribeye dish: steak was cooked perfectly and the sauce paired well. However, the garlic mash was WAY too dry and theamount of garlic made them inedible. Finally, we closed with tiramisu. Honestly, this saved our experience. Creamy anddelicious, this gets a star all on its own. Overall we give this place 3 stars. For the price of our dinner, I expected a farsuperior dining experience. I certainly didn't expect sand and grit in my teeth, inedible mash potatoes, and chewy lobster. Wemay be back but only for tiramisu and drinks. Read more
