Taverna Novo Reviews
My husband and I celebrated our anniversary with an incredible meal and impeccable service. Our waiter, Jason was extremely helpful and attentive. We felt welcome and comfortable. We absolutely recommend this fine establishment, and can't wait to return ourselves.
High end prices for low end atmosphere. Food was decent but pasta was undercooked and could have used a few more minutes.
Given that this place came so highly recommended, with raving reviews online, my expectations were quite high.

Taverna Novo in Saratoga Springs, NY offers a mix of dishes, from typical pizzeria fare to more gourmet options. The service is friendly and attentive, with knowledgeable staff. The meatballs, burrata caprese, chicken ala vodka, chicken ala vodka pizza, and Happy bastard pizza are standouts. The atmosphere is amazing, with a cute local vibe, making it a favorite spot for many visitors. The restaurant has a creative drink list and a good assortment of old world wines. Despite some minor issues with takeout, Taverna Novo comes highly recommended for a delicious dining experience.
The restaurant offers an old-world, unpretentious ambiance. The bartender is attentive and helpful, allowing customers to sample wines before selecting one. The broccoli rabe is cooked to perfection, and the rigatoni with chianti-braised pork ragu and the orecchiette with sausage are both delicious. The tiramisu is also properly made and delicious.
The restaurant offers a prix fixe menu during Saratoga Springs restaurant week, providing good value. The portions are small but enough, and the salmon piccata is particularly praised. While the Caesar salad is basic, and the gelato may not be authentic, the overall experience is positive, with a kind and attentive staff.
