Novita Italian Cuisine is a welcome replacement for Fire & Ice which had been around for years.
The interior is nicely redecorated to be a lot welcoming and brighter. The booth seating though can be a little tight (Maybe I put on some weight over the winter?).
The menu has a lot of classic Italian dish. All look really promising and ended up we ordered the following to share:
Zuppa De Pesce ($9.95) Mixed seafood and fish in a tomato herb broth
Vitello Marsala ($21.95) Tender Veal with wild mushrooms, dry Marsala wine and natural jus
Baby Spinach Salad ($10.95) Oven roasted tomato with goat cheese & tomato vinaigrette
Portion is huge and great for sharing with a group. Aside from that, I found it just lack in quality. It was a little painful to see how my veal was drowned in sauce. Most of the food did reminded me of "American" Italian food and that might be some people preference like my dinner mate.
The service was really attentive and it was a nice touch when the Chef came out of the kitchen and talked to us and making sure sure everything is OK.
I would definitely give Novita another try as they do have a Happy Hour on weekday.
