Met a friend for dinner tonight at a halfway point. What a find! Great service. Very varied menu! The three of us had a round of drinks. Tito's Martini for me & the men had Manhattans. We shared a Cesar salad for an appetizer. I had the short rib entree, my fiance had the Branzino special & our friend had the linguini di mare. We also had 3 glasses of Valpolicello. Everyone loved their dinner. I would definitely come back if I was in the area! read more

Classic Italian stop in the area. A good selection of classic dishes from Pizza, Pasta, salads and some mains. Small menu which typically means things should be fresh. Dinner or lunch this place has good food and a nice atmosphere. Cant go wrong with the amazing pasta dishes. read more

Nove Ristorante - a wine cellar full of bottles - Italian Near Me - Vaughan, Ontario

We came here for a business lunch. The restaurant is well appointed and the service was impeccable. The food is good but not excellent or authentic. The waiter gave us some bread with olive oil and water right off the bat. He took our orders and was coming back and forth to tend to our needs. We shared a bean and rapini bowl, which was decent. In addition we had some arancini that were kind of oval in shape. Still they were average but I would guess they were mass produced off site. For my main I had ravioli stuffed with wild boar in a simple tomato sauce that was delicious. The ravioli were slightly under cooked and a little too much al dente. Paired with a nice Italian Chianti, so overall pretty good. I'd go back for a quick meal but it's not a place to drool over. read more

Great food, great service, lovely atmosphere. Hard to stand out in this area, with so many great Italian options, but if our first visit was any indication, this place is one of the best around. The menu is very meat-heavy, with much smaller selections of pasta and pizza, which stands out compared to a lot of places around. Lamb shank, osso buco, cornish hen, streak, veal, you name it, plenty of options. But are they any good? I had the Rib Eye which was the special of the night and it was killer. Cant wait to come back and try more. The rigatoni was fabulous, not too rich, and the margherita pizza was super salty and fresh tasting. Amazing. read more

Nove Ristorante - Rib eye done to perfection - Italian Near Me - Vaughan, Ontario

This is a fabulous restaurant in Woodbridge that brings me back to my summer eating my way through Italy. To start, we had the Supplì ($10) and the Polpette ($12). The supplì had a light crispy shell with a cheese center and zesty fresh tomato sauce on the side. Taking a bite of it transported me back to the food markets of Rome. The Polpette was probably my favourite part of the meal. The veal and pork meatballs were so flavourful, juicy and tender and the tomato sauce and slices of Padano cheese on top made it even better. For our mains, we had the Pappardelle ($20) with a flavorful, tender, melt in your mouth braised short rib ragu. The noodles were thick and perfectly cooked. The Ravioli Riccardo ($18) was stuffed with wild boar and Padano cheese and then topped with perfectly cooked crimini mushrooms, roasted cherry tomatoes and a savoury browned butter sauce. A great mix of sweet and savoury flavours in this dish. The Risotto ($21) was perfectly cooked with the rice maintaining just a slight firmness in the center. Served with wild assorted mushrooms and Padano cheese, and simmered in white wine and mushroom stock, this was a creamy and tasty dish. When I dined here, the main restaurant was closed and we ended up eating in the side banquet hall so I cannot comment on the atmosphere of the actual restaurant - but from looking in through the window, it looked classy and beautiful. This was a wonderful meal with first class service and surprisingly large portions. Will not hesitate to return. read more

A restaurants true service happens when the place is jammed with patrons Saturday night and it's communion and confirmation parties It's a hectic time as food needs to come out quickly and warm or hot Pizza nice crust Grilled Veggie, Prosciutto, cheese/tomato, olives platter - fresh fresh Calamari and Scampi - better than most but served cold...hmm I prefer it warm Risotto with fungi - done right and moist Geme Pasta in a rose cognac sauce - nice Al dente Veal chop the size of a baby - juicy and full of flavor Mixed salad Ok I am stuffed Before Nove it was Pane Vino (horrible service and lackluster food so they went broke and sold to new owners) They redid the room in a modern style and chose to offer a high level of service and great food So Nove means Nine so not quite a 9/10 but a rounded up 8/10 read more

Big, bright, open space with modern decor, very cool lighting. Whomever designed this place it quite talented. Our server was very friendly and helpful in describing the specials and other items on the menu. The fried calamari and charcuterie board were great for starters that our group had plenty of to share. The osso bucco, a menu regular was accompanied by pillow soft gnocchi. Everything was delicious. A LOT of people like celebrating their birthdays here. I must have heard the the staff sing Happy Birthday four or five times. There's even a bar area, showing the Leafs game while we were there, so and sports fans could get their fix of that too. Good espresso to finish things off. Can't wait to to return! read more

If you want ambiance, good food and good service, I recommend Nove. Great wine selection and food is delicious. I always feel you have to appeal to all the senses....... visual and how the food is plated is so important. My mouth watered by the visual sense, taste was the delicious sense. Whatever you order from appetizers to pastas to main course, you won't be disappointed. Should you decide to indulge in a dessert, the carrot cake is sure to please.... fresh, moist and delicious. Plan to go back soon read more

I know that i'm Italian and I can eat home cooked Italian meals every day but I seem to be a sucker to eating at Italian restaurants. Lets add Nove to the list. To be honest ive probably passed Nove many times but haven't really paid attention to it. We were going out with a few friends and they chose Nove. I wasn't sure what to expect seeing that there were not too many reviews on Yelp. The restaurant is trend, all waiters are wearing ties. We were quick to be seated and the waiter was quick to take our drink order. The food was all cooked to perfection. Tasty, seasoned properly and portions were very generous. Too much to type to get into details but I am posting pictures below so everyone can see how great the food looks. I will be returning to Nove. There are many items on the menu that are a must try for me. read more

Been here on several occasions. This place is great for family functions or just an intimate date for two. They offer antipasto platters for large groups which is awesome when you have a table of 10 and don't know what everyone wants to start with. Wine selection is relatively large as well here. The food absolutely delicious. This place definitely has a foot above a lot of the other restaurants in the area. Will continue to do business here and would recommend this to friends and family who haven't had the chance yet. 4/5 for me! read more

I have to say this is one of the classiest restaurants in Vaughan. The food is out of this world and the customer service is something I have never experienced before. I had the Shrimp and scallops in a cognac sauce for dinner. I highly recommend it was light but tasty. My husband had the steak special and he said they made it just they way he liked it Chicago Style! The other couple we went with had the penne alla vodka. She said it was the best penne alla vodka she had. We ordred a bottle of sterling wine cabernet and it went perfect with all our meals. For dessert we had a nutella mascarpone.. Heavenly! We will definetly be back. They also had a live band which sets the mood for a great night. read more

Nove means "nine", but with a grill like no other, dining here is a clear "ten". From the moment we open the doors we are welcomed by the aromas of the charcoal grill and wood-fired oven. Cornish hen, tender and crisp, is the star of a platter of grilled meats from NY strip steak to Ontario lamb. Chef Rick Antonucci makes his rounds to ensure his guests are content. We are. Risotto with field mushrooms and reggiano cheese, simmered in white wine and mushroom stock, is a luscious mouthful of flavour. The pizzas are chock full of a garden of ingredients, and we devour the crunchy thin crust. Fresh linguini simmered in a white wine tomato broth ribbons around a medley of king crab, shrimp, calamari, mussels and clams. We arrive early, knowing tables fill up, for the love of good food. read more

Authentic, delicious and perfect touches to a great meal. I highly recommend this wonderful spot. Coming from California where we have so many choices on Terrific Italian food, we chose this based on location as it was convenient. It's clean Italian food. The service is terrific and our waiter Danny was always ahead of the game. We were a very large group and he anticipated what we wanted. Thank you Nove for giving a wonderful culinary experience. We will be back and be sure to recommend you to others. read more

Moderately priced, good Italian food. Not a fancy atmosphere but I was just wearing a t shirt and felt like people were throwing some shade my way. Good food tho worth a visit. read more

The food is excellent. No doubt this goes a long way and if this review was only about the food Nove Ristorante would get 4 or 5 stars. Unfortunately the space itself leaves a lot to be desired. First impression is that the transition from outside to inside is not welcoming nor entrancing nor awe-inspiring. Instead it is a bit disorienting due to the curves, angles and sight-lines. That first impression can be compensated for with a really great second impression... which was not forthcoming. Bottom line, the worst part and the cause of the loss of at least one star is the terrible acoustics. Noise travels and is echoed and amplified. The relatively large and open space is completely lacking in sound absorbing surfaces. Everything is hard. And being in the space is, therefore, hard. I was in a rush to leave. That's fine for fast food. It's not so good for a nice Italian place. read more

Good, solid food and incredible service. Amir was a great server and we were thoroughly impressed with the speed and efficiency from the kitchen. Overall a lovely experience read more

I recently organized a retirement party in their private room and was greatly disappointed when the menu they had discussed in the contract was not the one we got. Tried to talk to the owner, but he was no where to be seen and the manager was no help in trying to resolve the problem. I certainly would not recommend this place! read more

What is wrong with people reviewing this as high recommend..Get a unit in Woodbridge give it a paint job, hire a Singer for Saturday night ...call it a high end restaurant ...what a total rip off..the pasta special was nice,with a few scallops was $34 ..for pasta... guys order steak and veg...I guess a steak on a bed of mash and two dried asparagus is considered a meal...i wish i took a pic...how sad...Nove is not a nine...more like a one... read more

Great spot for a Friday lunch. To start, the chef came over to recommend the red peppers stuffed with ground meat and rice. They were very tasty. Panko crusted pickerel was the special for the day and I'm so glad I tried it. Two large pieces of fish, perfectly cooked, over baby beets, squash, brussel sprouts and potatoes with a light sauce. Carrot cake with cream cheese icing for dessert was decadent. The service was excellent. We had wine which was good and our water glasses were never empty. Very satisfying! read more
