  • It is 4 stars from me. My BF rated Novita 5 stars, and I would explain his reasons later. Novita is interesting, in that the star rating changes depending on if you like ambiance a lot more than food or not, and vice verse. The ambiance at Novita is really nice. It is like a fresh air from, eh Vaughan. Light coloured theme says contemporary, modern classy. The seating speaks casual. We went during daytime, so the decor spoke casual fine dining to me. I sat there and wondered how the place would look like in the evening. We ordered 1 appetizer and 2 entrees, admittedly the more expensive ones on menu. My first impression of the food quality was middle of the road. The Fried Calamari ($11) and the Shrimps, Scallops, Pesto & Spinach Risotto ($20) were both average. Then I taste tested my BF's Linguine Al Pesce ($19). It tasted quite a bit better. The red sauce was delicious. And this was when it hit me: Novita is a bistro. It makes good pasta (I haven't tried pizza yet). The tiramisu dessert was made in house. It was very moist and soft; flavour was rich yet texture was light. All of the orders were well portioned. We doggy bagged part of the entrees home. I believe the split style in decoration and food contributes to the varied ratings. If you like ambiance a lot, Novita is an auto 4-starred restaurant. If you like food a lot more than ambiance, and you happen to have ordered something other than pasta (and maybe pizza), your experience will likely be 3-starish. If you like ambiance, (really) like a reasonably priced date restaurant, like red sauce pasta, like generous portion, meaning my BF type of diner, Novita is a 5-starred restaurant. In my case, I position Novita as a bistro with a casual fine dining decoration (I suspect this may be what the owners aim to be). I will give 3 stars for the food this time, an extra star for ambiance and attentive services. When I return, I will probably stick with pasta and maybe pizza, so I may keep thinking the food is 3.5/4 starred as well.
