La Novella - East Meadow

The owner of this restaurant is a Muslim from Montenegro . They serve gypsy style food, not Italian. If you want great Italian food in East Meadow, go to mama Theresa

Our first visit after passing the place so many times. AMAZING place like going to visit the family and the food was amazing. A warm and welcoming place cannot wait to return.

I have been eating at La Novella for many years, and hope to continue for many

Staff treats you like family. This is the sole reason for 3 stars. My 1st time here and when I picked up the bread it was hard like your head. Did not want to start complaining. My chicken was subpar edible, but not tastefully exhilarating. Requested a steak knife and was given a dirty one. This time I requested a clean 1. Highly unlikely I would return.

We had an amazing first time visit to this restaurant. TY to all... we'll be back!
