Novello - Boucherville

This restaurant has potential but presently lacks much of what a genuine italian restaurant should consist of.Pros: beautiful decor though not italian by any stretch. The male staff were serviable. The food tasted (risotto and penne gigi) good but menu was limited.Cons: It felt more like a tacky pick up joint than a classy italian restaurant. My husband and I felt like we were in a downtown french reseau contact 'meat market '. The female staff all seemed irrirated for some reason, perhaps it was due to the slew of barely clad array of cheap patrons. The service was polite but had to repeated ask for our drinks and olive oil for our bread which btw was rock hard and bottom burnt. The bocconcini/tomato antipasti was actually ?fried? bocconcini on a layer or what I think was crushed tomatoes (tested like thick tomato paste)/capers/black olives.. sounds good ? Nope, there was way too much acidity;definately not well balanced. This gavascon induced entrée costs almost 20$ !! Italian much ? Not!Overall, this place was O K (being generous here) but certainly nothing to brag about. I highly recommend this restaurant to young men who are looking to meet young (or old) french women who are dressed to kill and much of anything else. And boys, don 't forget to bring your mucho mulah ! It 's quite expensive for the quality of food offered.This is definitely not a family or romantic oriented establishment, but only because of the cheap crowds it seems to attract. The menu/food needs great improvement as well. In response to the Owner 's replyThank you for taking the time to respond to my review. As a restaurant patron, you seem to lack professionalism and the ability to take criticism. This being said, I wish you many more years of 'operating and going strong '.

Great service , very hospitable people, drinks were really nice. I enjoyed the night, but the food was not as good as the rest of the service. The food was served a little bit late, and it was COLD .But in general it was a good experience and I would go again .

Really nice restaurant in Boucherville. On the pricey side, so would only go for special occasions.The food was amazing, fresh, flavourful, and well presented.Staff members were all very nice.Kid-friendliness: There's no menu for kids but kids are welcomed, no fussParking: There are a few parking spots on the street and a big parking lot behind the restaurant.Wheelchair accessibility: No steps to enter the restaurant, wide doors, tables can easily be arranged to accomodate a wheelchair

Delicious food and friendly staff, great experience.Food: 5/5

Disrespectful owner and terrible overrall experience. The dishes tasted like frozen food.
