NOVI Restaurant and Bar

Novi IS THE WORST! I went for a nice meal... instead I ended up being completely ignored and waiting a FULL HOUR for ONE PIZZA --- and when I inquired about our food the waitstaff outright lied. The Manager, Mike, is completely unattentive. Don't waste your time or your money --- just don't go to NOVI. It's THE WORST.

I don't usually write things on here but felt like I had to say something. We went there on a whim back in november and loved it but then when we went back this time it was completely different. Apparently it is under new management, but the servers didn't seem too thrilled about the new managers. My girlfriend and I have both worked in restaurants and know how the industry works but we both agreed that something was off this time around. She was particularly disappointed a few of the drinks the bartender made our first time were not available. It really lacked the authentic itallian feel that it had before, and it was very cold, empty, and uninviting. The pizza's not bad but we won't be coming back anytime soon.

So much potential, such poor service,such poor food, frozen veal patties for veal parm over a ton of spagetti....Never again. Glad we had rolaids with us.

Nice atomosphere but it stops there. Service is poor, food is bad, management has no idea what it is doing. I played piano there and they gave me two bad checks that I'm still trying to collect on. My singer also got sick when she ate there. Do yourself a favor......eat somewhere else.

The food is delicious and very reasonably priced. I went there already few times and it was great every time. You can see their full menu and coupons if they have them on http://www.menumama.com

NoVi - ( love the name) is an excellent addition to the city of philadelphia; especially the art meusam district. the food for above and beyond what i excepted (not the typical food of the are) i had the veal for dinner which was cooked to perfection and bacon wrapped scallops as an app, awesome as well. the resturant itself has a warm, cozy feel to it; it is very welcoming. the staff are all friendly and present when needed. i will most certaintly be back, often!
