We had an excellent experience in the garden room for our niece’s first holy communion. The whole celebration was excellent, the staff positive and helpful through out. The food was good standard Italian served for large parties, fresh ingredients and well seasoned. The bathrooms remained clean and well stocked through out the event.

We had our wedding reception at La Novella on Sunday, August 31st, and it turned into a very upsetting experience.
When we booked, Michael (the owner) was so friendly and offered us $50 per person, with soft drinks included and wine at $30 a bottle. We had 40 guests and 10 bottles of wine. The math is simple: the total should have been around $2,300, maybe $2,500 with the extra drinks. Instead, we were charged over $4,000 plus tip. The wines weren’t even finished, and the “included” soft drinks were never provided.
We had already paid a $500 cash deposit, but it’s obvious he didn’t apply it to the bill. My father-in-law was only given a credit card transaction slip that night, not an itemized receipt. When we went back to ask for a copy, Michael lied and said he had already given it to my father-in-law (he didn’t). He flat-out refused to provide one and hung up on me when I called back to ask him to review the charges.
This is shady and dishonest behavior. On top of that, the room was roasting hot even though we were told there would be AC, and several guests complained but nothing was done.
Our wedding reception should have been a happy, stress-free memory. Instead, we left feeling cheated, disrespected, and extremely upset. Michael was rude, dismissive, and refused to double-check his own mistake.
⚠️ Stay away from this restaurant. If you care about honesty, transparency, and professionalism, this is not the place to trust with your special events.

Wow, we were looking for a restaurant on they final evening of our honeymoon. We discovered here and it was amazing, the staff were very friendly and the portion sizes were very generous. We had artichoke stuffed to start and mains were seafood linguine and salmon fettuccine. We had two glasses of red wine also. We enjoyed the night as was music on and we sat outside under canopy. The waiter was Italian and so is my wife so they spoke about where from and family. It was the best place for our last night. Shame as we would have gone back. I highly recommend this place for Italian food and great atmosphere. Thank you again and hopefully we can return again one day.

This was our families first time here. The food and service were great tonight. Their red sauce is delicious. We had it with the fried calamari. We also ordered Cesar salad for 2, Penne alla vodka with grilled chicken, Penne alla nona & Pollo Al Novella. Great portion size as well. We will definitely be back.

Great food and attentive staff! I’ve had parties here as well and every time I’m told how great the food was. My husband and I recently went for dinner. I had the seafood over linguine with a spicy red sauce which was fantastic!
We’ve gone again after they had some renovations. I had the lamb and my husband had the pork special. Both were fantastic. We sat in the new extended section set up patio style. The atmosphere was nice and the room was comfortable. Service as always was as great as the food!.

We were near here and decided to go for. a late dinner. It was empty inside and no one was around to initially greet us. Then we realized they also had outside dining, which is where other people were sitting. We stayed inside and enjoyed the quiet. My son got the penne alla vodka which we had read about and it was not on the menu but they gladly made an order. It was very good with not too much creame so not as sweet as some, which was a good thing. Aldonte pasta and came out nice and hot. My wife got the bronzino special over spinach which was two filets and very tender. Spinach was a bit oily. I had a lobster special which was served over a nice linguine in a white garlic sauce. It included clams, muscles, shrimp and calamari. A very nice dish. We split a tiramisu for dessert which was OK, but a small portion for the $9 price point. The cappachino was a better value, we just wish it was made with less milk and a larger shot of espresso. Overall a nice meal and great service.

I drive past LaNovella as my mom lives in East Meadow. I had never been here before but it was such a nice experience. The food was so delicious and enough for 2 meals. Baked clams were so awesome. Our waitress, Kendall was just a doll. Definitely will be back!
