From what I had heard, Pizza Novara in Bloomington (near Mall of America) was owned or established…read moreby the same person as Joey Nova's in Excelsior. I therefore wanted to give it a try, since I think that Joey Nova (and Elmar Pizza) are the best New York-style pizzas in the Twin Cities. However, there is no ownership or any other ties between Pizza Novara and Joey Nova. Although they both serve New York style pizza and you can get a whole pie or a slice, that's where the similarity ends. My wife and I tried two different kinds of slices. I opted for the plain cheese, while my wife got the pepperoni. As an ex-New Yorker, i would say the pizza here is OK, but doesn't hit as well as the other two restaurants that I mention above. The pizza is ordered at the counter and brought to your table when ready. Both my wife and I thought the counter person was a bit snippy when asked a few questions about the pizza. Nothing terrible, but not particularly welcoming. There are lots of hotels surrounding this restaurant and I'm sure they get a lot of business (take-out and delivery) from the hotels and it's certainly better than most of the chains. The restaurant is bright and cheerful and there are tables to sit at if you want to eat in the restaurant.

We got in around 6:10 while the restaurant closed by 7. By the time we learn the menu and ordered, we were told most of the savory items can't be ordered as the restaurant will close soon. We had wish that was announced to us as we walked in, so that would allow us to go elsewhere or focus on the items we can order. Unfortunately we have upsetting kids that couldn't order what they wanted, spent longer time to find things to order, resulting hangry kids. All could have been avoided had we know.

The inside is beautiful and made for a really nice dining experience. We started with the Eichten's cheese curds, and they were excellent. They were soft on the inside, some had a great cheese pull, and the spicy dipping sauce paired really well with them. I ordered the Flat Iron Frites. The steak was seasoned well, cooked nicely, and didn't have much fat, which I appreciated. The fries were crispy and came with house-made ketchup. I usually don't even like ketchup, but this one was actually really good. My partner ordered the deviled eggs as his appetizer, and he enjoyed them so much he finished them in no time. For dessert, we had the Strawberry Shortcake Crème Brûlée, and it was fantastic. I've never had crème brûlée like that before. It was a unique twist on a classic dessert and ended the meal perfectly. The only small downside was that the complimentary water tasted clean and fresh. But it was warm instead of cold. Overall, the food, atmosphere, and service made for a great experience, and I'd happily return. Glad i was able to cross this one off of my list.

The chicken had the perfect kick and the Parmesan sauce balanced it so well. The tortilla was seasoned and kept it all together without falling apart. I also ordered a side of lobster bisque and had great texture with a clear lobster taste. This is easily the best food court food I've ever had and it's not even close.

The décor is elegant and inviting, and halfway through dinner the lights dimmed into what we jokingly called the "sexy dinner lights," making the atmosphere even more warm and cozy. One thing I really liked is that every entrée comes in multiple sizes, so you can order the portion that fits your appetite. I wish more restaurants offered that option! We started with the Parmesan Crusted Shrimp, and it was a great appetizer. The shrimp had a light, crispy Parmesan crust and came with two delicious dipping sauces. I ordered the Lasagna, and it was exactly what I was hoping for--rich, hearty, cheesy, and full of flavor. One entrée at the table was the Chicken Fettuccine, and we all laughed because none of us expected the pasta to be bright green! It turned out to be spinach fettuccine and ended up being a favorite. Another person ordered the Seafood Linguini De Mare. It wasn't their personal favorite, but that was simply a matter of taste rather than the quality of the dish. I had a Red Ruby Spritz mocktail, which was refreshing and beautifully presented. The others enjoyed their drinks as well. The portions were generous. Even though we were completely stuffed, we still couldn't pass up dessert! The Crème Brûlée was outstanding with a perfectly crisp caramelized sugar topping and silky custard. The Budino was incredibly rich, decadent, and one of the highlights of the night. The Salted Caramel Gelato was also enjoyed. Service was friendly, attentive, and never rushed. The restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere that made us want to linger. One funny tip: the bathrooms were spotless, but the toilets are surprisingly low!
