Hands down my FAVORITE restaurant in Long Island. They never disappoint ! They have an extensive wine list, along with cocktails. The food is Italian fusion, and I’ve never ordered anything that I didn’t like. The food is phenomenal (if you like steak, I recommend the steak) and if you’re a dessert fan, you’ll fall in love with this place ! I also like how they have a dj in the evening around 9pm. It’s great! They also just renovated and the place looks wonderful. This place is always busy, so it’s best to have a reservation. I find the wait staff experienced, customer centric and overall well rounded. I’ve been coming here for years, and I’ve never had a poor experience with the wait staff. If there was any improvements the restaurant can do, I would say it’s worth the hostess stand. I’m not sure if it’s stress, but they tend to be rude at times.

Novita markets itself as chic and trendy to make up for its not-so-chic food and service! Not only were the portions exorbitantly small…but we had to wait OVER 1 HOUR to even be served our dinner. You’d think that the food would be jaw-droppingly good for the wait. Joke’s on me since I merely received pasta with non-existent lobster stuffing and Ragu tasting sauce. To make time pass, our waitress served us the weakest sangria we’ve ever had while our busboy was nowhere to be found for water refills. Was the white sangria supposed to be water…because it sure tasted like it…. For dessert, we were left to wait an extra half hour for two tiny cannolis and a tiramisu the size of an Oreo (not even exaggerating). The bill was nearly $200 for three people. Needless to say, I won’t be coming back anytime soon……

Novita is AMAZING! I had my bridal shower there this past weekend 5/25 and everything from the food to the staff was a 10/10. The staff was fabulous, they helped us with the decorations (my floating flower was definitely the most annoying thing to put up), made sure nobody’s glass was empty, promptly cleared any dirty plates from the tables, they were all SO courteous, and after everyone was finished eating (we had a buffet style package) they packaged all the leftover food for us to take home! What place does that anymore?! And the food, ohh my god, it was delicious. I’m a breakfast girl so we got the brunch buffet package with eggs, french toast, bacon, and home fries and literally everyone told me how much they loved the spread. I HIGHLY recommend going to Novita for your next event! 🤗

Pros: The complimentary dessert was delicious Cons: If you are of the belief that all outdoor reservations are made equal, then you are wrong. If you are lucky, after making a reservation for “outdoor” you might be placed in one of the pods, if you are not as lucky, then you will find yourself at one of the 4 or 5 tables without a pod. My experience here was less than stellar, I was placed next to the edge of the tent that was tattered, unsecured, and blowing onto the table (I had to utilize one of the chairs to secure the hazard). The ambiance at my dining table at home is way better. I was very dissatisfied with the seating situation. If pods are not available for ALL, then it’s my suggestion that it be noted for patrons to know when making their reservations.

EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE! We had our Engagement Brunch at Novita on February 5, 2023. During the planning process, Joe Mendolia and Jake Johnson were so professional, helpful, friendly, and went above and beyond to provide a level of excellence in customer servIce. Together, they helped to plan the event: menu choices, music, decor, and made the process enjoyable. The team responded to emails and phone calls immediately and made the entire process move smoothly. The bartender, Kate, and all of the servers, during the event, were cheerful, welcoming, and thoughtful. The food was delicious and plentiful. The Novita staff went above and beyond to make our Engagement Brunch special and memorable. Thank You, All!

Rock music simply doesn't go with Italian food. Esp the really really great food they serve here. But it's New Yprk. It's the US if A. People dining here would think there is something wrong with the music system if it played mantovani. Conversation on other tables were pretty loud. But very genial. The food was delectable - amazing salad, melt in your mouth pizza and great sides. Totally enjoyed my meal here. They don't have vegan options and their vegetarian selection is quite limited. We didn't have dessert but I saw some v nice looking ones on other tables 😀 If you happen to be in Garden City NYC ... Go and give yourself a treat. The service is quick and the staff is super friendly.
