It is very hard to trust having quality these days, they have done that here today. I thank you so much for the delicious meal today thank you. Made my evening ”
“ One of the best restaurants in Saratoga we stop here everything we visit and the food only gets better each time. Signature drinks are awesome. Photos are of their specials which we mauled like hungry bears ”
“ This was our first visit to Taverna Novo. We decided to get there early (4:00) and sat at the bar. We were going to get just a couple of appetizers and a beverage just to check it out. We ordered the sauteed calamari while sipping our martinis. Then we ordered a wood fired pizza. It was absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend getting reservations if you don't get there before 5:00. This is a popular restaurant, and they are filled to capacity from 6:00 to close. ”
“ We went on Christmas Eve. The food was absolutely delicious. Everything was fresh and well prepared. Our server ( I think Allie) was wonderful! Best food and service we have had in many years. Dining room is pretty small but well worth the visit. Highly recommend it and we will be back! ”
“ A highly recommended Italian restaurant in a quiet neighborhood of Saratoga. I'm so glad we checked this place out. Their outdoor patio is beautiful lit with plenty of shade. We order two pizzas to share and it was just enough for 4 people. I'm looking forward to going back and trying other dishes on their menu. ”
“ Last weekend, the hubby and I joined a couple of friends for dinner Saturday night at Taverna Novo. First note, this is a small space - reservations highly recommended! I emailed them early in the week and was lucky to score a table for 4 close to the time I wanted. We had a fabulous experience- the food, service, and overall environment combined to make for a terrific and fun night out. Bread service with dipping oil is the start of the evening. We followed this with appetizers - stuffed mushrooms, short rib ravioli, and a special appetizer of the evening - a burrata dish with crostini. The others reported that the mushrooms were delicious and I can vouch for the ravioli- a very large portion of 8 or 9 good sized pieces filled with tender short rib and covered in braised mushrooms and a pan sauce. Highly recommend! Burrata was also yummy. Caesar salad was huge - enough for us all to have some. Next were our entrees - one wood fired pizza, one eggplant parm, and one bucatini amatriciana. The meatlover pizza was good, nothing over the top, but good. Eggplant parm was very good; served with a side of pasta, both topped with a thick and delicious homemade marinara sauce. Huge portion that came home. The bucatini was also said to be awesome - good to the last drop! Well flavored and another large portion. Potatoes ordered as a side were simple but delicious. Highly recommend. We ordered 2 portions of the specialty dessert - an Irish bread pudding. There are no words for how good this was. We were told it usually runs out quickly. I only wish I had ordered my own instead of agreeing to share with the hubby. Make your reservations ASAP!! ”
“ Great little local Italian spot in a quiet neighborhood just west of downtown. We stopped in and sat at the bar for a quick bite to eat. The food was good. The service was unbelievably quick!! Looking around at some of the meals on the other tables, the pizza looked good as well. Looking forward to stopping in again next time in town. ”
“ Absolute gem for food, bar & atmosphere. Book a table. Go. Or better yet don’t go! More room for me at this boutique restaurant that is a bastion of deliciousness amidst the touristy options. Saratoga is lucky to have this authentic Italian restaurant to enjoy. ”
