We visiting Nuovo last night for the first time! The staff were incredibly welcoming! The food is all made fresh, so it takes a while but is SO worth the wait!! We had the bacon wrapped meat loaf, and the meatloaf! Both were absolutely to die for! The bruschetta was the best I've ever had! Will 100% be back! And SO affordable for the quality!

The food was exceptional. My wife ordered Spaghetti Carbonara and I ordered the ravioli with butternut squash and prawns. Amazingly good flavour. All hand made. Paul was an excellent waiter and made us feel very welcome.

Absolutely delicious, relatively pricey but definitely worth it. I had the Butternut squash ravioli which was spectacular, and my gf had the mushroom gnocchi with marscapone sauce which was heavenly. The co-owner Paul also came out to greet us and really made us feel welcome. I highly recommend! Great date spot :)

I recently dined at Nuovo Bistro with a friend, and it was a wonderful experience. The ambiance was welcoming, and the staff provided excellent customer service—attentive without being overbearing. The menu had a great variety, and both our dishes were delicious. The pasta I had was perfectly cooked, and my friend enjoyed their meat dish. The staff was knowledgeable, offered great recommendations, and ensured we had everything we needed. The relaxed atmosphere made it a pleasant evening, and I look forward to returning. Highly recommend.

We held a birthday party at this restaurant and the staff were so accommodating and friendly. They even played happy birthday on the TV and gifted the table some appetizers. The food was delicious. We all got a bit of something different and we all finished our dishes. Highly recommend!!

Came in on our lunch break and just as my previous experience, they did not disappoint! Definitely a hidden gem on 124th street, the owner who is so kind, friendly and even remembered a few of us who have been there before, will make your dining experience a special one. The Aracini balls had a crispy shell, with a creamy and flavourful risotto on the inside. We had a range of pasta dishes and I had the Arrosto Di Barbabietoli salad with chicken, and it was a large portion, with tons of well season chicken, beets and walnuts. Everyone else ordered the Wild Mushroom Gnocchi, the linguine and ravioli. Everyone felt their portions were great and all the pasta was rich and full of flavour! The owner even gave us a free tiramisu on the house for the table to share. Overall great experience, from the food to the service, 5/5, we will be returning.. and with friends!
