First time customers who wanted to experience their happy hour before returning to order off their regular dinner menu. We were a little underwhelmed with the textures and overall lack of flavor on the dishes we tried. The best thing we had was the warm lava cake and chocolate ice cream. Service was a little slow at first but when Melissa took over as our waitress she did an excellent job!

Everything was great at Novacentro, but I especially want to highlight our waitress, Liset. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever being overbearing. Her service truly made the experience even better. The food came out perfectly and the atmosphere was enjoyable, but Liset’s professionalism and positive attitude really stood out. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Novecento: A Chain That Forgot Its Accent
Novecento in Aventura, part of a once-beloved South Florida group inspired by Argentine cooking, now feels like a restaurant trading on distant memories. I hadn’t been back in more than five years; time has not been kind.
The evening began poorly. The hostess shuffled us between small, unready tables with irritation, and when the manager stepped in mid-shuffle, he was equally short about helping us settle. We were eventually seated, and our server was genuinely kind—a small but notable contrast. The warm bread arrived only after our starter, nullifying its role as a welcome. It came with an eggplant-based spread of egg, oil, garlic, and onion—not Argentine, but genuinely good.
We opened with grilled provoleta, an Argentine classic meant to seduce. Instead, it arrived undersized and excessively oily, missing the promised oregano and topped with a single cold, stubborn slice of tomato. Oily, it turned out, was a recurring theme throughout the meal.
The Novecento parrillada included chicken, sausages, sweetbreads, entraña, and bife de chorizo. None stood out. The meats were chewy and subpar, especially when measured against other strong Argentine restaurants in South Florida. Having just returned from Argentina, the gap felt especially pronounced. Sides were forgettable, and the use of small ceramic plates subtly underscored the restaurant’s reduced caliber.
Once distinctive, Novecento now feels overly commercial and disconnected from its roots. I wouldn’t return to this location.

We had such a great experience at this restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious, we tried the grilled octopus and the parrillada for two, and everything was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Our server, Carlos, was incredibly attentive and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed. We’ll definitely be coming back soon!

The service was excellent! There is a great variety of dishes to choose from, and the price-to-quality ratio is very good. They also offer a kids’ menu, which is perfect for families, and have many promotions throughout the week.

Every visit to Novecento at Aventura feels like a homecoming, and this time was no exception; I savored the soup of the day, followed by a delectable Pomodoro Novecento that was perfectly al dente, just the way I like it. Paired with a refreshing Mimosa, it made for a truly uplifting experience. The exceptional service from our waitress, Carlos P, and the entire staff truly made our visit special.

Everything was excellent from the moment we arrived. Our server, Javier, provided outstanding service. He was attentive, friendly, and very professional. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming.
María also stopped by our table and made sure everything was perfect, which we truly appreciated.
We will definitely be coming back soon. It was an excellent experience.

We happened to fly in for the night and we found this place on New Years and it was a great food and drink experience. We sat at the bar and was served by Melissa who was amazing considering how busy it was. I highly recommend the Wagyu Carpaccio. It was incredible.

Carlos and Michael were honestly some of the best waiters I’ve had in a long time. From the moment we sat down, they were both super attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience feel welcoming. Carlos was great at checking in without being overbearing, making sure our drinks were always full and that we had everything we needed. Michael was just as amazing—very knowledgeable about the menu and gave great recommendations that ended up being some of the best things we ordered.
Both of them worked together really well and you could tell they genuinely cared about giving good service. They were fast, professional, and had great attitudes the entire time. It’s rare to get service this good nowadays, but Carlos and Michael absolutely delivered. If you get them as your waiters, you’re in great hands. Highly recommend!

They drinks were phenomenal and so was the food. Pasta was perfect and so was all the other food. Overall would definitely consider coming !
