We initially planned on eating at another restaurant, but we changed our minds and visited Novo Cafe instead. It was a good, if lucky, choice. The food was great. The menu contains many tempting choices. We ate on the lovely patio. We'll be back.

I ordered the Pesto Pasta, and it was delicious even without any meat, it was full of flavor. Definitely a nice spot to grab a meal after the tour!
