Novella Wine Bar

The food was amazing and great wine recommendations

Beautiful patio and sitting area!
The owner is very knowledgeable about her wines and answered a lot of our questions.

I had the orange wine and rotating rose which were both crisp and delicious!

Great wine and great hospitality ♡

Awesome wine selection and very cool atmosphere. The owner is very friendly and has suggestions as well. I tried a Bosnian beer she recommended that was very unique and delicious.

A must try wine: Murfatlar! A Romanian, Pinot Noir red semi sweet.

Perfect little happy hour spot. Nice and quiet. The food and drinks are amazing 👏

A wonderful place with fantastic drinks! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a quiet evening out. I can’t wait to go back! Extra stars for the chocolate sangria.

Novella is a great neighborhood wine bar with very nice cocktails and an eclectic selection of European wines that I don't tend to see in other places. The atmosphere is very relaxed; it feels like you're in someone's home and that someone is happy you're there.

Great place, love the chill atmosphere. Dijana the owner is friendly, hardworking and welcoming. Dijana makes the best drinks, platters and desserts. I highly recommend her key lime pie.

Have you ever driven past a place and thought, we really need to go there. Well, we finally did! And the only word is WOW! You open the door to old world charm. A great playlist of music that isn’t too loud. A wine list that is curated to meet almost any wine lovers wants. The “by the glass” options are pretty spectacular as well. As for the food, it is mostly small plates meant to share. We had the polenta fries, the chicken-basil flatbread and the Gorgonzola stuffed dates. Everything was beautiful and delicious. The dates were a revelation as I am not a blue cheese fan, yet these were so amazing we ordered a second! I would return just for the dates, but I’m so excited to try the rest of the menu. Great service, beautiful surroundings, outstanding food and wine! Looking forward to a cooler evening because their outdoor patio looks so inviting!!!

Vegetarian options: Great options!

Parking: No problem finding a place to park on a Saturday evening.

We love this place and have been regulars for a long time. Deanna ( the owner) is so kind, she knows what we like and makes excellent recommendations. The selection of Croatian wines are incredible. This last time we went I had her Rose sangria and it was so good! Everyone I send or bring here love it too!

HIGHLY recommend this place! It's so cute. They did a great job of decor inside and outside. I went for the first time this week for a happy hour. They have a large selection of wines! Anything you want, they most likely have it. Also tried the BBQ flatbread and it was SO good. I already want to go back. Also, the waitress was super friendly, and she suggested a wine that I loved!! Such a fun place to go with friends!
