    I’m surprised at the many positive comments in the reviews, we tried this restaurant because it was highly rated. The food was really mediocre.. things didn’t seem fresh. I took a bite of yucca fries (one of my favorite) and it was cold and stale. The meat was tough and hard to cut. The drinks tasted off. To top it off the prices were high and not worth what we got. It was similar to other Brazilian restaurants that are not comparable in quality and overall experience.

    The food quality was good. The service, however, was mediocre. We had to repeatedly ask for clean plates, and asked for several items from the Rodízio, which were never brought to our table. Had a fairly limited selection for Rodízio, and the food on the salad bar was mediocre. What we had was good. We were a party of 10, which might be why our server was overwhelmed, as he had two large parties at the same time. Again, every request that we made had to be repeated at least two, if not, three, times before we receive the item.

    We went there for date night right before Thanksgiving. It was such a great experience. We ordered drinks and food, everything was just excellent.

    Took my wife and son out for a birthday dinner. We all like our meat medium. The first couple of pieces that came out were like beef jerky. Beyond well done and so dry. After asking for better cooked meat they did bring out better cooked meat. Not medium but better. I don’t think I would go back with so many other better places in Newark

    Case Nova was a wonderful dining experience. The staff was very attentive my I dropped my fork on the floor and they immediately replaced it without even asking. The food was well prepared and delicious. My kids got their fill (and then some) of the rodizio and it did not disappoint. They brought out the “good stuff” first and it only got better for us and the night progressed. The sangria is dangerously delicious - highly recommend. We will be returning to enjoy another meal soon. Thank you!

    I don't know how to describe my experience since I don't consider it bad or good. Food was good, just they forgot to give us something was on the menu. And the restaurant wasn't busy, very clean the restaurant. But was something else missing like that Brazilian vibe.

    We had a wonderful family celebration of graduation and Father's Day at Casa Nova. We all ordered the rodizio (instead of a la carte), and highly recommend this. The service was both friendly and attentive, the restaurant was bustling and inviting, and the delicious meats just kept on coming (until you cry 'uncle'!). We're happy we chose this spot to celebrate the special occasion. We felt very warmly welcomed, and we will be coming back. Next time, we'd like to try dinner instead of lunch.

    The steak was a little dry for my liking even though I ordered it a specific way it did not come out the way I liked and was a bit expensive.
