Angelina gave us the best service! She was so sweet and made incredible cocktails. The food was great - definitely felt like a home cooked meal. The atmosphere is unlike any spot in the area. It has great views of the water, and the bar is reminiscent of trips to New York.

It's ok.... Very small plates.... Also there's only one bathroom and it's the one at the Ponce de León hotel.

Look up the best steakhouse in St Pete, Fortu came up but right next door is this amazing bistro.
My mind is absolutely by the food put out by this tiny kitchen!
I will send you back and back again until I try everything else on the menu

If you’re looking for an exceptional dining experience and a great time in downtown Saint Petersburg, look no further thanNovu Bistro and Bar. This gem offers great food, superb service, and a warm, inviting ambiance that makes every visit special.The owners, Kathie and Tony, are incredibly friendly and make you feel like part of the family from the moment you enter. However, it’s Matia who truly stands out. Her extensive knowledge of the menu and her ability to answer any question make her a favorite among regulars. She enhances the dining experience with her attentive and informed service.The food is simply amazing, cuisine that never disappoints.One of the best aspects of is its ambiance. Despite being located in the heart of downtown, it never feels crowded, allowing you to enjoy a relaxed and comfortable dining experience. The atmosphere is perfect for a night out with friends or a romantic dinner.Overall, Novu is one of my absolute favorites restaurant in town, I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience in Saint Petersburg.

Food was pretty good, as well as beers. But watch out for their beer self pouring system, they charge by the oz and if you don’t watch and make sure they will overcharge you for nothing. It happened to me. Other than that, it was pretty nice.

Went there with friend while visiting st Pete. Honestly stay away from this place. I got few drinks,I assume the owner was the while bartender was making them. We asked about places to see around and the owner started being rude and started convincing us that this was the best bar around. That was extremely rude and we kept seating there. Another this the food. I got a burger and few hours later got diarrhea. My advise to avoid this place and definitely not to eat there. There are a lot of good places around. Good luck.
