De Novo European Pub

Wonderful wonderful wonderful. Had a large group of us go to celebrate my sister’s baby shower, and they were SO accommodating. Every time I called to ask a question, the person on the other end was so friendly and helpful. They have so many delicious things on the menu, I really wanted to order it all. The octopus and jumbo lump crab were the hit at our table. Everyone was raving about the food and said they couldn’t wait to come back on their own. Price is very reasonable for the quality they serve. 10/10

Step into De Novo European Pub, where lunch becomes a scrumptious affair! The food? Simply divine!

Dragon, our heroic server, sets the stage for an unforgettable dining experience with his warm welcome and impeccable service. And oh, the view! NYC twinkles across the river, casting a spell of enchantment. It's perfection in every bite and a vista that steals hearts.

There is not 1 spot that has a bad view.

Visited De Novo on my birthday as I was sold by the views of NYC and menu options!

First things first, it's valet parking only so make sure you have some cash handy to tip the staff. There is no where else to park so circling for street parking is not an option. Since my birthday landed on a Wednesday, the restaurant was busy but not uncomfortably busy. We were seated immediately with views of NYC to the left of us. It was the perfect seat. During the day I bet it's just as beautiful.

They started us off with focaccia bread with cold marinara sauce? I always thought it was supposed to be warm but maybe it's not? We were confused but we still ate it haha. The focaccia was yummy. My birthday cocktail of choice was the La Hacienda (Patron, passion fruit, thyme, lime, St. Germain liquor). It was very tasty and strong! For a starter, I ordered the kale salad and I would definitely order it again, it was a good portion.

As my entree, I had to order the eggplant parmigiana which was perfect with the creamy burrata! Just note that is does not come with pasta, you can ask for that on the side. The eggplant is pretty hefty so you could do without the pasta which I wish I did. The pasta tasted like it was frozen and reheated. My boyfriend ordered the cacio e pepe with a side of wings and my sister ordered the bucatini. A thumbs up for the wings and bucatini! The cacio e pepe noodles could've been cooked a tad bit more.

At the end, I was surprised with a sparkler which was nice. All in all, I would visit again and try other menu items. CHEERS!

This place is a gem. We were there for a baby shower. The food was beautifully plated and tasted great. We had mussels, pasta dishes, and various starters and they were all so yummy!! I wish I took more photos..
We were seated by the windows and the view was nice and I would imagine the evening view would be even better. The staff was very friendly and attentive. They were so considerate, when we asked to cut the cake for us to eat, they cut it so that the front of the cake with all the decoration is preserved(see photo). I would definitely visit again! Also, I want to give credit to the valet parking attendant that was working really hard trying to accommodate all the people waiting.
