10/10Food was amazing. Both waitresses worked very hard and were both very friendly. Manager was very nice, suggesting a lovely bottle of wine without any price agenda. Would highly recommend. The outdoor setting is lovely.

Wonderful food in one of the most beautiful, atmospheric and peaceful piazzas of Palermo. We loved everything. The service could not be more attentive and the swordfish is glorious.

10/10Lovely people working at Nova. Food was beautifully presented and delicious. I eat a vegan diet but have a nut allergy so unless I always eat at vegan restaurants it can be tricky for me. They adapted a menu for me and it was fabulous. The vegan orange cake with banana for pudding was light, flavourful and a lovely way to end our evening.

10/10Best restaurant. We came here to celebrate my brother-in-law's 50th birthday and we were looked after. Great drinks, great starter and the meat was outstanding. The staff was just top 10, they were nice and always there when needed. Very nice and professional treatment. If you are in Palermo, this is a must.

We are happy that you had a good and special Birthday with us 😊 See u for the next celebration 😉

10/10Nova was truly an experience. Every dish was excellent and the waiters really attentive to detail. We ordered the 5 chef selection starter, the octopus on puree, the rice with squid's ink, the sicilian tortilla and the salmon tataki. It was a pleasure to try out some delicacies and we will surely be back. thanks for the wonderful evening!

9.5/10Fine dining in the heart of Palermo. Some of traditional dishes but slighly revisited for modern kitchen. Portions rather moderate. Recommended to go for 2 courses. Nice discovery and good ratio quality/ price especially with the fork offer.

2/10I’m too disappointed because I booked a table at the 11:30 pm and they told me that the closes ad 11, so I decided some dessert but still same thing, so instead of eating I drank some cocktails and offered to my friends. When I told the waiter that I’m giving a negative feedback he just turned his back on me.
Nova • Owner
We were, as always, kind to explain that the kitchen closes at 11 pm as specified in the fork. You can book as we are also a cocktail bar. We work hard every day to make the customer feel good and the other reviews prove it. With this review you penalize us and it is not acceptable

5.5/10The restaurant is beautiful. Sadly the food taste was disappointing. I think they are trying new takes on Italian cooking but unfortunately the flavors are not there. Plus cold pasta is never appealing. And service was a bit all over the place.

5/10Just My opinion like nothing special, I was expecting something like sicily traditional food but nothing to with that, the food opinion are very very little, And then as well when I had to pay my bill it was €24 I did gave them €40 and she came back to me with just €6 literally was missing €10 but wasn’t a nice attempt then she apologize by the way but that’s no makes big difference, I WON’T NEVER EVER GOING BACK AGAIN
