Meat pizza was delicious, service was really nice, was met at the door by the bartender was shown the menu and what was available. Hard to find good food late night so I'm glad I found Nova! Ambiance was pretty cool! Cozy, spacious, friendly with good music! Would recommend this place for anyone looking to hang out and enjoy some drinks read more

We were staying in Bishop Arts district and had not made dinner plans. Our friend said it was good, so off we went (no reservation). We split the Orecchiette with 3 mushrooms and cream sauce, and the pesto pizza. The pasta was my preference. The pizza was more garlic-y than pesto-y, and just meh. Service was good, if a bit brusk. There is a parking lot. read more

Man what a great place. As some people have stated parking is not the easiest to find but there are places to be found. The vibe is awesome. The staff is attentive and friendly. The food is outstanding. We had the chicken fried pork loin, brussel sprouts and the white pizza. Everything was amazing. The pork loin with the spicy sausage gravy was out of this world though. I highly recommend getting that. read more

Nova is the cutest upscale diner ever! My husband and I just bought a house within 2-3 blocks walking distance and this is hands down going to be our new favorite spot. Close proximity to home aside the food and drinks are fantastic. I am not usually one to rave about a salad but the Nova House Salad is the perfect blend of crunch, sweet, salty, tart. The dressing is so good I want to lick the plate when I am done. Alas, I am well over the age of 2 so I refrain. All the pizza's we have tried are excellent and the drinks are well crafted and strong without being too much. I will say the service here is great. They are always very quick to provide water for the table which is very welcome given the walk in the summer heat and the attentiveness remains throughout the entire service. Couldn't think of a single bad thing to say except it's a shame I can't go everyday. read more

I've been to Nova several times in the last 10 years, but I went very recently, and was pleasantly surprised to try some other menu items that I haven't tried before. I sat outside with my friend, and we shared a plate of hummus with pita bread and a smoked salmon salad. I really enjoyed the fresh hummus plate, and it was a generous portion with lots of fresh cut vegetables. I've had the pho here as well, and I remember it being good. The ambience and service is consistently great. This is a neighborhood, favorite and a staple to Oak Cliff. read more

One of the best restaurants in Dallas! There is nothing quite like this Gastro pub. The staff is incredible and the owner/cook is extremely friendly and an absolute mastermind in the kitchen. The creations that he has made on this menu are absolutely fabulous! You cannot go wrong with a pizza or any of his specialty items. The cocktails are absolutely fabulous and the atmosphere makes you feel like you've stepped back in time! I've been here dozens of times and can say that I've never had a bad meal with the quality only increasing as they add new menu items. read more

I recently visited Nova and had Cisco as my server. He was nothing short of amazing! He was friendly and attentive. He even suggested drinks that would pair well with our meal. Hands down I would recommend this restaurant to my friends and family.... And go see Cisco. You won't be disappointed. read more

This was absolutely my very very first time going to Oak Cliff (Dallas)Texas and I was so glad that we were in the area I was able to Google at that time of night we went at like 9 PM well 10 PM central standard time and we couldn't find anything healthy that was left open for us to eat but lo and behold NOVA popped up on our Google search for food and we went! This was the first time in years that all four of my sisters got together and Two flew out here to Texas so that we can enjoy time together so this is the first restaurant they actually said they loved that they've ate at here in Texas!! thus far! I will be back a million times over! First off we were greeted and seated by Shawn! (Awesome personality and you can tell he was smiling through his mask! Lol) Everything was cooked and prepared along a reasonable time and was DE FRAKING DELICIOUS! Like I love a good salad for a late dinner light and not heavy on the digestive ! My cocktail was superb My sisters were the ones who ordered the burgers and the pizza so I don't know exactly what the burger and pieces were called but I know that they just kept talking about it over and over and my sister kept talking about warming up and eating that pizza for breakfast! Lol Also Josway ? Or Jose PLEASE EXCEPT MY APOLOGIES !! for the miss spelling! but he was nice as well and packaged my sibilants to go's up and did a video with me for my IG!! Lol His name sounds like a expensive cologne ! The noise was normal that was cool because I was loud. I was so excited! Also I cannot forget this is my very very very very very first time ever trying crème brûlée and I chose the vanilla crème brûlée and shared it with my sisters it was so darn good like I'm still thinking about it and while I'm talking about it my mouth is getting droolish If you haven't been or if you just moved here! Or lived here and never heard of NOVA! Go! ORDER! Sit Down! Go! Go! Go! You will not be disappointed read more

Food is good in theory-not what's served. Frog legs were gross. Not because they were frog legs. Buffalo sauce or whatever was oily, flavorless and not Buffalo. Fried tomatoes were good but not the béchamel or shrimp that topped it. Shrimp were frozen popcorn shrimp. Prolly what contributed to the tasteless béchamel. They drowned the tomatoes in the sauce- it didn't help. The meal for this visit was heartless, non transcendent, and lacked the flavors that read on the menu. Or, didn't meet expectations. Drinks are good. I stand by that. I've been here a few times at 11/midnight. read more

I've been to nova many, many times over the last several years. The food is amazing, literally anything on the menu. The service is good. Sometimes they have live music and they have a covered/heated area that's nice to sit at if you want to chat, it's usually a little quieter in there. The best part are their novamosas! My absolute favorite cocktail of all time! read more

Stopped in for an early dinner/ late lunch. Since it was in between actual meal times there was a limited menu. The service from our waitress was great and the manager/ owner stopped by a couple of times too. He was beyond friendly and helpful. He even brought us out a couple items to try. Don't expect your food to come out with lightning speed. The food is made from scratch. Even the spicy sauce on top of the Mac and cheese is made from scratch by the chef! The burger is amazing. Try it!! If you live in this area you are lucky enough to visit on a regular basis. read more

Good people serving good food and good cocktails in a great location! Highly recommended!

Everything on their menu is alszi. Absolutely love Nova, everything on there menu is delicious. Especially the balsamic pizza is the best. There's a gentleman with a bald head that always serves us. It don't matter the time or day he gone get you right. He let you know the special dishes that they have for that evening/night. And keep our drinks full. read more

We came here tonight before the English Beat Concert on a friend's recommendation. We warmed up slowly to the staff before the amazing Carrie took over our service and wowed us through the rest of our time. We each had a couple of specialty cocktails during their very reasonable Happy Hour along with their famous Mac and Cheese. The lady had the Nova Cocktail and I had a Berry Amsterdam Mule (or something like that - hey, I just got home from the concert!). The drinks were excellent as was the Mac and Cheese. Real cheese and real bacon went into this fine creation. Come in for a hip place with a cool vibe and unique drinks and meals. You won't leave disappointed. I highly recommend for Happy Hour or before a concert at the nearby Kessler Theater. Enjoy!!! read more

Nova overcharges people on purpose. The owner charged me twice for my one glass of wine. He charged me 14 and 24 for the same glass. BEWARE he is known to do this. I heard several complaints from friends. read more

The atmosphere here is good! The Moroccan Chicken was good. It's definitely overpriced....but good. I've never in my life spent $32 for a small half chicken! I thought that maybe there would be something amazing about it that made them price it that way ...but not really. I give 4 stars because of the atmosphere and staff. Everyone was very courteous and attentive. In short, the service made up for some of the chicken price lol... read more

Great bar, good food. Cool vibe in there. space diner type beat. A good spot for a second date!

Jerk Chicken special. Wasn't very impressed. It absolutely no jerk flavor. The chicken was so spicy that you couldn't taste anything after eating it. The pineapple watermelon salad would have been better by itself. The texture and temperature of the watermelon salad made the texture of the dish worse. That chicken needs a jerk sauce desperately. The dish was not work the $30 no way. Solid 2/10 Service was great! The star of the night was that brisket burger and the Asian chop salad. 10/10 Great menu selection. I had a bigger issue with a man who I'm assuming is a regular that walked in and was holding his face mask to his face to get through the front door then he was walking around the restaurant without wearing a mask and staff who saw him did not say anything to him. With the close proximity of people in this restaurant the Covid regulations need to be enforced. If you're going to get food from here I'd recommend take out for now. read more

Drinks are amazing, hummus with salad and pita is delicious, and their pizzas are top notch.

Go order the Pork Belly Pad Thai while it is on the menu. It's incredible. They have staples that are also great... the burger, the pizzas, the Wednesday meat loaf, the greatest macaroni and cheese on the planet (trust me). The bartenders also make perfect cocktails - which explains the number of regulars who are in this place every evening/night. Big fan. Will return. read more

Great spot usually for late night but the service during Brunch on Mother's Day was awful.... Didn't take our drink order. 10 minutes to take our order, 20 minutes to get our food. Very, very hard to get in and out of the place.Only for late night I think.. read more

3.5 stars. The food here is a bit heavier than I usually have. RECOMMEND : Fried oysters. I Like these fresh oysters, but the shoestring fries were a bit superfluous, making this a huge appetizer to share. I liked the shishito peppers in here too. DECENT: Crispy Brussels sprouts - a bit greasy. Could be better. AVOID: pho - this version is sweet in its broth. Definitely not what I expected. Not as good as the asian authentic version. Nice ambience here. Laid back and good lighting. Like the neighborhoody feel to this place. read more

Very good service, very good food. We come here often. A nice respite from the B.A. crowd.

I'm not sure what the craze is about this place. The service is slow, the menu isn't anything ground breaking, the food is good to okay, and the price is a bit high. Just my thoughts though. I had the classic breakfast and my husband had the étouffée. Both were alright, classic breakfast is hard to screw up and the étouffée was a pretty small portion. read more

I was introduced to the NOVA Gastro Pub by my friend Julie who lives nearby. It was a delish-osa and kewl experience! Casual setting with a neat-o bar! I had the Gnocchi special entree paired with a glass of Steele Vinyards Cabernet. Loved the atmosphere and appreciated the Jd's great sense of humor! JD is the owner and he makes you feel at home. Keep up the good work NOVA folks et al! I will coming over again and soon! read more

PERFECTION. I've come to Nova for happy hour before and had a wonderful experience with their drinks (the Pimms cup was lovely) and appetizers (the hummus plate is ). I had a chance to come to Nova again for a big group dinner and it was spectacular! The food is really good and there are several vegetarian options. I had the mushroom pasta and it was creamy, flavorful, but not overly rich. I tried some of their pizzas as well and was very impressed with their thin, crispy crust! Service was also outstanding and our food came out within 20 minutes even with the restaurant pretty packed. Parking is also straightforward. They have a small lot that fills up pretty quickly, but you can also park along the street. In the evenings I would recommend a little extra safety precautions though if you're walking down the street. Can't wait to come back again! read more
