The vegan meal we gad was excellent, and the staff and atmosphere were wonderful. They were kind enough to make a different appetizer than was on the menu due to peanut allergies. They also put a candle in my spouse's sorbet for their birthday, but didn't embarrass us by singing or anything like that. Will definitely come again.Dietary restrictions: Vegan food was great and they were able to accommodate a menu change for an allergy.

Definitely the BEST restaurant in Bangor!! My husband and I tried it out for the first time the beginning of this month. It's literally a hidden gem. Driving down the street, you wouldn't know it was a restaurant. The atmosphere is like being in a wine cellar. Very quaint! The servers were friendly and attentive. I honestly didn't think I would leave full, but we did. The food was so AMAZING!! I can't wait till we go back and try new foods.

I've been to numerous places in Maine and Novio's Bistro is by far the best, it's almost sad that it's not even close.

Novios, what a place for dining! The flavor of each dish was exquisite. The wine pairing did just that, complimenting the meal we each enjoyed. Fresh and delicious. We will be back soon!!

My husband and I had a pleasant dinner. I am vegan and really enjoyed the vegan options, especially the dumplings and tofu entree. The drinks were also very good and I loved the Smokey Old Fashioned. Overall, we had a nice time!

This was my first experience with a set menu and actual courses to the meal and it did not disappoint. Everything was well thought out and plated beautifully.
Each course got more and more delicious!
Olivia
The food and drinks were all outstanding, and the wine pairings were a wonderful addition to an already stellar meal. We also so appreciated the staff's flexibility in getting us a table for 7 instead of our original booking for 4 at basically the last minute! The Novio's team is wonderful and I can't wait to return!

Simple elegant menu. Everything is Delicious and well prepared. Staff is attentive without being overbearing. Novio's always has an amazing , innovative choice of cocktails but this time I chose the Wine flight matched to my Meal. Wines were excellent, well chosen and further enhanced the meal.

Fantastic atmosphere, food, drink & service.Idk why anyone would go to a chain joint, when for a few bucks more you could get a real dining experience instead of a meal.
Phenomenal service and food! Sometimes hard to find parking but overall worth it! Environment was lovely! Great place for a date night!

Excellent. We especially appreciated the very low noise level in the dining room. It's nice to have a spot in Bangor, where the food is exquisite and the environment is tranquil. We are regulars, and we will continue to be!

Courtney is the GOAT! She really brings her A game every night and makes Novio’s an amazing experience.Bob is an engaged owner who takes time to speak with each of his costumers and makes them feel welcome.Parking: Plenty of parking.
