Novanta - Melbourne

Without a doubt, this is the best Italian restaurant I've experienced in Australia. The food is truly authentic Italian, and having been to Italy and tasted the genuine cuisine, I can confidently say that this is it!

I visited Melbourne to see friends who couldn't stop praising this restaurant. We finally tried it on our last night in town, and wow! I wish Bar Novanta would open in Sydney! The pizza, the gnocchi, the bigne, and the warm hospitality from the staff made me feel like I was back in Italy. Thank you, Bar Novanta, for a wonderful final dinner in Melbourne. We'll definitely be back soon!

Amazing food. You can tell that’s it’s made fresh and with a lot of love and care. Tastes amazing. Make sure you visit and try it out yourself.

Absolutely delicious authentic Italian food local in the area. Staff are friendly too So busy for dinner on a saturday night which is great to see and support local!

The best dinner we have had in a very very long time! The staff are attentive, beautiful and friendly. The food was absolutely delicious! My son who is fussy, ate a kids size pizza, spaghetti bolognese and some steak. We ordered a few dishes to share and each one was seriously beautiful. The music in the background took me down memory lane. Compliments to the chef and staff at Bar Novanta. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this place. 10 out of 10
