Novelli presents as a refined tribute to Northern Italian and continental cuisine. While Southern Italian cooking leans toward seafood and the Mediterranean, Northern Italian flavors share the bold, rustic spirit found across the Iberian and Aegean regions. The dining room is a feast for the senses: candlelit centerpieces atop crisp white linens, with walls adorned by vineyard- and farm-inspired art that evokes a timeless Italian countryside.Under Head Chef Rob Rold, the kitchen highlights exceptional Italian ingredients crafted into thoughtful dishes. Starters include a grilled Portobello with gorgonzola finished in a balsamic glaze, and Kobe beef meatballs simmered in San Marzano tomato sauce. Entrees continue the creative thread—a curated selection of value-driven steaks and a standout brick chicken: Cornish game hen roasted with garlic and herbs. If you’d like this tweaked for a different voice (more luxurious, more approachable, more ingredient-forward), I can tailor it further.
