I came back with friends for dinner Saturday evening. I joined the Neighborhood Perk & was again treated like a rockstar. Curtis, our waiter was friendly, engaging & exceptional. It was a beautiful night. We sat outdoors on the side garden. The high top chairs were a little difficult to maneuver. Novecento opened last year in the Falcon House a historic 1925 building with a rich past as a pharmacy for the Falcon family. It became popular bars & restaurants like the original Falcon House party space, Max's Social House, Death or Glory, before it's revival as "The Falcon". I started with a lychee, gin and tonic. My handmade artichoke spinach empanada was very flavorful and had an interesting delicious sauce inside. Friends enjoyed the chicken and steak empanadas as well. The wedge salad was cold crispy and perfect. Friends enjoyed their Caesar as well. For dinner we had a delicious juicy steak cooked to perfection with roasted potatoes. Our dessert was amazing dolce de Leche crêpe with ice cream & whipped cream on top that was enough for four of us.

I had a delicious cultural experience with my friends over the weekend at Novocento Delray. This location has been a struggle for many past restaurants and I dont know why. It is located just north of the "Ave" and has its own free parking area. The restaurant is super cute and the service and food was very good. We all took part in their bottomless "boozy" brunch beverages with our entrées orders. We had a variety of dishes from empanadas and salmon ceviche to burgers and salads. Everything was delicious and since it was during the dine out Delray month, we had our dessert included in the meal price. The server, Valentina, worked extra hard as bartender and table server. She was just super nice and definitely a well experienced server. The meal was great with our friends and I will be sure to come back for a return visit.

We had a wonderful dinner. Luna served us and she was friendly and helpful. We loved the music and we sat outside and it was romantic and peaceful. Everything we ordered was delicious and well-timed. Can't wait to come back. Definitely a hidden gem in Delray.

I came back to Novecento after being invited for Sips & Bites. The "temperature controlled" outdoor area could use a bit more actual temperature control, but the Sips & Bites were so good that I had to return for a full experience. I'm glad I did. 1. The staff is incredibly gracious and kind. Our waitress Tracy was extremely attentive without ever coming off as pushy or rushed. She was warm and personable. I also spoke with one of the managers. I don't remember his name, but he had tattoos and even gave me a hug. I don't think I've ever been hugged by restaurant staff before, but I loved it. They really make you feel like family. I was shocked to find out this place is a chain. I had no idea. I thought it was an original restaurant concept. Wow. 2. The food. The chicken empanada is heavenly. I know you can choose two, but I would recommend getting two of the chicken. They are creamy and large enough that you can split one in half and comfortably share. The filling is piping hot and the dough on the outside is fluffy. 3. The steaks were cooked to a perfect temperature. I am a medium-well girl and I will not apologize for it. Bad restaurants treat it like I said well-done and burn my steak. Not here. I had a hot pink center just the way I like it. Thank you so much for that. My absolute compliments to the chef. The steak was flavorful and juicy. I ordered the NY Strip and my partner had the filet. Both cuts of meat were so flavorful and tender that I could hardly tell the difference. 4. I highly recommend the grilled vegetables to accompany the steak. Nothing pairs better than peppers and onions with a good steak. I was blown away. 5. I am not a huge fan of flan, but the person I was with really wanted to try it. Even though I'm usually not into flan, I enjoyed the dulce de leche flavor and the whipped cream. The texture was firmer than most flan, which I appreciated. I will absolutely be coming back to Novecento. Everything went perfectly.

This was my very first Yelp event, and I must say, I felt it was very well done! The food samples, the music, the well-made drinks, the atmosphere, and mostly my fellow Yelpers... all made the evening great. I will definitely be back to experience the restaurant fully on another occasion since everything else there seemed to be very much on point.

Wanted to surprise my fiance for his birthday dinner with reservations someplace we had yet to try and Novecento made the cut. After reviewing their menu I absolutely knew this was the spot and that he'd want to try their Waygu Denver and lucky for us, he got the last piece of the night. We arrived a few minutes late for our 8pm reservation because I didn't research parking so don't make my mistake! There is very limited street parking so we opted for a nearby garage. Garage parking cost us $8 for the 1.5hrs we were there. Once seated we were offered warm bread and placed an order for their empanada appetizer. The empanadas were yummy - your typical Argentinian style. Our main courses were Waygu Denver for my fiance with mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus and skirt steak with mashed potatoes for myself. Everything was to die for and cooked to perfection. For drinks, I'm a Malibu and Coca Cola girl so I was disappointed to hear they only had regular rums. However, my fiance ordered their Messi drink which came adorned with a soccer ball branded on the ice cube. The inside of the restaurant is quaint and typical for Delray establishments that seem to have taken over little bungalows. While they offered outdoor seating, it's way too hot in South Florida to sit anywhere but inside with the a/c on blast.

Love this new restaurant. We sat at the bar and Max was a great bartender. We ordered chicken Milanese w mashed potatoes and tenderloin Milanese with a salad. I loved my chicken and mashed potatoes. Moist and crispy chicken and the potatoes were silky smooth. My husband liked his a lot too. I thought it tasted gamey and preferred the chicken. We also ordered the chicken and steak empanadas. These were Soo flavorful and delicious. It didn't even need a sauce. We will absolutely be back.

We came during happy hour and parked in the back. It was the low season, so we didn't encounter a large crowd. They have a great happy hour menu, and the customer service was superb. The quality of the food was excellent. I had a hard time choosing an item from the menu since everything looked delicious. It's a must-try for anyone looking for a good meal in Delray without dealing with the traffic on Atlantic.

Came for my 28th birthday and all the food was delicious and very well prepared. Everyone at the table was raving about the food and our waiter was so sweet and even sang me happy birthday along with a cake! Also my espresso martini hit the spot and I would recommend this place for your next big celebration!

Valentina was amazing! She was our server and bartender and she was the highlight of our visit today. We were 6 people who came in for brunch. The place was empty. :( We started with unlimited drinks ..mimosas, prosecco, Bloody Mary, or Sangrias were the choices and you can switch. Price was $20 of ordering off the prix fixe menu or $25 normally. We started with Beef Carpaccio and a cheese appetizer. I forgot the name of the cheese one but it was very doughy. The carpaccio was very tender. Some of us did the prix fixe and got salmon crudo, empanada, and grilled Ceasar. All were good but the Ceasar salad stood out most. For a main I got the hamburger (forgot picture)which was cooked perfect. Friends got a wedge salad, Chorizo Scrambles, and Hamburgers. Portions were large. For dessert we got the crepe and it was so yummy. What a great ending to a wonderful meal. Only 2 other tables were sat while we were there which was sad. We hope to go back soon.

We made a reservation for outside about a day before not realizing how chilly it would be. When the hostess called to confirm, she was kind enough to offer us inside! It was warm and pretty inside. The one thing they threw me off right away was the bathroom. It's make/female to share with two stalls. I don't love their at up but it is what it is. Our waiter was very nice and made great recommendations! We started with a bunch of appetizers, including the shrimp, the bread and two orders of empanadas both beef and spinach. The empanadas were crispy on the outside and delicious and flavorful on the inside. The shrimp were in this white wine sauce and cooked perfectly. The waiter recommended taking the bread and dipping it into the sauce, which we did and it was terrific! Next, we got the Caesar salad. I think I single handedly ate the entire thing! It was one of the best Caesar salads I've ever had. Then we moved on to our entrées. I got the grilled chicken and mashed potatoes. Chicken was moist and delicious. Mashed potatoes were just average nothing special. I should've gotten a different side. My husband got the fried chicken and french fries and said both were delicious. The chicken was nice and juicy and had good flavor. My cousin got the risotto with steak and commented on how the steak was cooked perfectly and the risotto was creamy and delicious. Her husband got the skirt steak and mentioned that it was super flavorful and tender. Sometimes skirt steak can be tough, but this was not he said. We opted not to get any dessert because we were so full! A couple of drinks were gotten and everything was delicious! The old-fashioned was superb. We will definitely be back! One thing to note... parking was a bit tricky. Allow some extra time to park further away and walk.

Such a cute restaurant. Tons of great food for a very good price. I rarely give places 5/5 but this was one. Split the paradilla. All of the meat was so good my favorite was either the sausage or churrasco. Picana was also really tasty and crispy and the chicken was moist and flavorful. The roasted potato was the best side and the roasted veggies also really good. The truffle fries were just ok and they didn't have the mashed potatoes bc they ran out. Oh and the cheese appetizer was really good tasted like a pizza. White sangria is delicious. Staff is also very friendly.

A loud not-particularly-Argentinian Argentinian restaurant in Delray (which used to be a Spanish restaurant my wife and I loved to frequent) with superb service. My wife loved the Branzino, everyone else's dishes were fine, but the real standouts here apparently are the steak (which we did not have) and the service. Our waiter was great.
