Novi New Old Venice Inn - Baldwin

Great food, great service, great time... Would recommend to everyone.

This is one of my favorite restaurants for wonderful Italian food. The food is always delicious. The portions are large some appetizers could be a meal in themselves . The service is always very friendly and personal. The restaurant is quiet I go there with my wife and we can not only hear each other talk, but feel like we are alone even when the restaurant is full ! And the nice surprise at the end it is very affordable. Entrees are under $20 and like I said above, the portions are great. 5 stars.

Considering this was local pizza place for many years whose clientele were seedy at best and it 's claim to fame was an old fashioned style bar. This newly renovated cozy and nicely appointed restaurant serves up comfort food like Grandma used to cook. The veal is like the old days in Brooklyn. The portions are huge, so be prepared to bag it. Make sure you ask them to light on the red sauces as they are a bit too heavy. Fish is cooked perfectly and if like soup... some of the tastiest around. The owner "JR ', has changed this place for the better, you know this is so by needing a reservation on the weekends dining! The wait staff and hostess are always accommodating. A perfect place for a small party or business luncheon. Congrats and continued good luck to JR and his staff for making NOVI a winner among Baldwin 's otherwise mediocre restaurants.

The Old Venice Inn was established in 1936 at this location and had the reputation for the best pizza for many years. New ownership in 2007 changed the name to the New Old Venice Inn. The rest rooms are immaculate as is the kitchen two key tests for the quality of the owner. This is exactly what you think of when you think of an old fashioned Italian restaurant. And when you bite into Momma 's Manicotti or the rack of lamb or my favorite the ravioli carbonara you 'll find yourself saying Now that 's what I 'm talkin about . Prices are very fair and I have never had a bad meal since the ownership change.

NOVI is an excellent value, wait staff friendly, food quality very good. We go there 2-3 times a month.
