    My granddaughter and enjoyed a very good dinner. The two pastas were delicious. We each had dessert and again were very happy. The food is great, service attentive and very reasonable prices. I’m always happy when I come to Novita.

    Had a GREAT time here! Came here to celebrate valentine’s day and waitress was the nicest woman, super friendly and attentive!! We started off with the complimentary fresh bread and ordered these delicious mussels in white wine with garlic for an appetizer- the portion was HUGEEE too. For dinner, we had the broccoli rabe rigatoni and lobster ravioli—both generous portions as well and full of flavor!! As a nice touch, they gave us complimentary honey drenched muffins and rice pudding since it was our first visit. Definitely recommend for amazing food and great service!

    Upon arrival for my 7 PM reservation, I was promptly seated within 10 minutes. The waiter was exceptional. I received my drinks and appetizers with very short wait time. The food was delicious and it made for a very memorable valentines evening. I would recommend water Zoe for anybody looking for Delicious food and excellent service.

    First time in the igloo. Had a great experience. It was a little colder than I thought it would be but it was fine. We went for my son’s birthday and nothing really excites him but he loved it! He kept saying how happy he was that we went there! Staff were super friendly, our waiter was pleasant and seemed like a very hard worker. Overall great experience and I plan on going back!
