After finishing the Warner Bros. Studio Tour, I was craving Italian food, and Novo Café was the perfect choice! It’s one of the closest restaurants just about a 10-minute walk from the studio. We arrived right on time for their happy hour, which starts at 3 PM and offers great food deals.
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!

Novo Café is a true neighborhood gem in Toluca Lake! The ambiance is relaxed yet stylish — perfect for everything from casual lunches to dinner dates. The Italian-inspired menu is consistently delicious, with fresh, high-quality ingredients that shine in every dish. Their pasta is always perfectly al dente, the pizzas have that perfect crispy-chewy crust, and the salads are fresh and vibrant.
What really stands out is the service — warm, welcoming, and...
