“I went to eat here for the first time today with friends I used to work with. We heard that the owner used to work at Italia Mia which is now closed and now own this restaurant. We always had a salad and pizza there so we ordered the same thing here. The sausage, pepperoni and mushroom pizza was absolutely delicious. The thin crust was incredible!! Nice ambience also.“

“I had short rib stuffed ravioli and my husband had the Swordfish special. Food is amazing. Well done!!“

“We popped in as we were walking around the Central Arts District checking out the murals downtown. We only had an appetizer but the hand crafted expresso martini the bartender Zach made was exquisite!“

“Novu Bistro serves delicious food and beverages. The waitresses are friendly and engaging. We didn’t wait long for anything and we were a large group. The owners, Tony and Kat, are gracious and hospitable! I loved that the music was low for great conversations! I highly recommend this St. Pete gem!!“

“Totally enjoyed it. And always order The Bada Bing. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

“Amazing! Couldn’t have asked for a better waitress, she was so kind. The food was AMAZING! The fettuccine was BOMBB!! Everything came out pretty fast! Don’t listen to those reviews, we were a little worried but absolutely obsessed and will be coming back next year! One of the best.“

“Amazing dinner tonight! We loved everything we had! Amazing menu with so many options. Such fresh ingredients!

“Passed this place for too long. Ordered an 18 inch pepperoni. Price was great. Pizza was even better! Delivery was fast. Very good. Thanks 4th St. Pizza!“

“Food was excellent Service was great.“

“First try, never knew this place was here.. hidden Gem.. food is decent, portion size is fantastic. I got ravioli, didnt know it came with garlic bread and a salad.. I was so full!! I'd pay 10 bucks for all that, any day... versus 12 at McDonalds.. yuck.. this was great!“

“I've been coming here for years. The pizza & salads are equally delicious. What blew me away this time is I accidentally left my debit card and I got a phone call pretty quickly from the store letting me know and keeping it safe until I could return to pick it up. Thank you so much!“

“I stopped here tonight after taking my son to the hospital for an injury. I didn’t realize how close the store was to the hospital so we arrived super early. The staff was amazing and friendly. Our food wasn’t ready yet so I apologize for being early and told the cashier about my son being hurt and asked if I could step back outside for a bit to be with him. She showed me such kindness by asking if he was okay and offering to bring the food out when it was done. I told her it was okay that I would be able to see her wave, but she insisted. My food came out hot and perfect and she was so so so nice. I really needed and appreciated her kindness tonight 💚“

“We had a table of 9, our 1st time coming here for a work dinner, I had read great reviews and recommended we try it..they lived up to every wonderful review I’d read…they did not disappoint! The atmosphere is super nice, the service was excellent and the food was superb!..prepared as ordered and delicious! I’ll definitely be back!“

“This place is a blast. The owners and employees are exceptional and so friendly. You feel like they are family. Best place to watch a BEARS game and the pizza is sooooo good. Real Chicago pizza !!!! I drove an hour and 15 min to go yesterday and it was so worth it. I’ll be going for every game that I can.“

“Best hungry howies ive been to so far!!!! Spotless...Extremely professional....and Great customer service!!!!! Ramon helped make my food perfectly (as i am an extremely picky eater as far as how my food is cooked)...My visit definitely exceeded my best expectations!!! The manager Pat was wonderful and made sure i left very happy...Because of him i will definitly take the time to drive further from where i live everytime i order from Howies from now on!!!!“

“Pizza has always been great for the many years we've been getting it. I'm not sure if the owner is the one that has gone to a call center but it totally takes away from the family owned pizza joint. Won't order again and it's very sad.“

“Eat at Angelo's every single week! Also watch all my sports there at the bar, tons of tv's. The crew is awesome and the atmosphere is always fun and relaxed. Can't go wrong with any of the food...pizza, philly's, gyro's, wings, salads...all great and high quality. They're open till 3:30am every day too...can't freakin' beat this place! AND they have the BEST Happy Hour deals in all of St.Pete! Oh and their breakfast sandwiches are amazing!!“
