Novi New Old Venice Inn - Baldwin

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

The food is excellent, but owner states he doesn't want to encourage too many black diners!

I don't know what they attempted to pass as lasagna but this was not a very good dish!

Last time I was here was 1970, with the girl who is STILL my wife. Used to come here regularly in the 60s when in High school (Baldwin HS, where else? Was my favorite pizza then, and was in Baldwin last week...came in for Pizza...how could I not? Still the best!!!! Great bar scene. 60s and 70s rock band and great bar scene. Waited 20-30 mins for a table at 9 PM Saturday night. Somethings never change...THANK GOD! Have the clams oreganato as well.

I have lived in the area for years, and always thought this place was just a bar. What a surprise. I friend told me about it an I am so glad I tried it. The portions are enormous, and the prices are low. The service was outstanding. Best sauce I've had since my grandmother's! Our server advised that it gets packed in the weekends, so be sure to call ahead. Can't say enough....try it for yourself.
