Not much to look at from outside nestled in a tight residential neighborhood with limited street parking but complimentary valet service.

I look forward to returning!

We looked up Italian restaurants and came across this place. The menu looked really good, so we decided to make reservations for 7 PM. When we arrived, we were seated within a few minutes. The hostess was great -- very polite and attentive. Our waitress came over pretty quickly and asked if we wanted to order drinks. Since it was our first time there, we wanted a little more time to look over the menu, so we asked her to come back. I will say there was a little more time than we would have liked before she came back. It seemed like she may have had tables in another section of the restaurant because we would see her disappear back and forth, so I completely understand that she was probably taking care of other tables. When she came back, I ordered a red sangria and asked her which chicken dish she would recommend. She suggested the chicken marsala, which is what I ended up ordering. My husband got the cioppino. We also ordered a soup and a salad. The sangria took a little while to come out, and it was served in more of a cocktail-style glass, which I thought was a little different. It honestly tasted more like red wine with fruit than a sangria and was a little dry for my taste. I mentioned it to our waitress and asked if she could add a little Sprite to it to make it more like a spritzer. She was so nice about it, immediately apologized, had it fixed and brought it back. She even said if I still didn't like it, she would get me something else, which I really appreciated. Adding the Sprite actually did the trick and made it much better. I probably wouldn't order it again, but it wasn't terrible. We were also waiting a bit for the bread. Our waitress had mentioned she was going to bring it over, but after some time passed, I asked about it and she quickly brought out two dinner rolls with a small container of oil. The oil was really good. The rolls themselves were pretty basic and nothing special. I ordered a cup of soup, but when it came out, it looked more like a bowl that was less than half full. That was probably the strangest part to me. I'm not sure if they were out of the smaller soup cups or if that's just how it's normally served, but the portion was definitely smaller than I expected. The soup itself was tasty, though. My husband's salad came out a few minutes later, which I thought was a little odd since my soup had already arrived. He likes extra dressing, so he asked for some, but since our waitress wasn't immediately back, we ended up asking one of the bussers for it. I do want to say that despite some of the timing issues, our waitress was incredibly sweet, friendly and accommodating. I really don't want the slower service to take away from that because she was genuinely great. I think she was just covering a larger area of the restaurant. The entrées definitely changed my overall opinion of the meal. The chicken marsala was delicious, and my husband's cioppino was out of this world. The portions were also huge! We had a 7 PM reservation and didn't leave until around 9:00-9:10, so the meal definitely took some time. If I were rating the restaurant just based on the drinks, starters and timing, I probably would have been around a 3-star experience. But the entrées really made up for it. The food was that good, and I would absolutely come back just to try some of the other dishes. Another huge plus is the free valet parking, which I thought was excellent, especially because parking in the area can be a pain. Overall, I'm glad we decided to try somewhere outside of our usual area. The service could have been a little quicker, but the food was definitely worth the wait. I'd come back and give some of the other dishes a try.

I also had a great cocktail that I really enjoyed. The only downside was our waitress. She wasn't rude, but she just didn't seem very friendly or personable, and it honestly left me wondering if I'd done something wrong. Service can really make a difference in the overall experience. Overall, I'd still recommend Nuovo. The food and location make it worth visiting. I'd say it has a bit more of an older, quieter crowd, so if that's your vibe, you'll probably really enjoy it.

(Apr 2026) For dinner, we had a baby-spinach salad with crushed walnuts, moist dried cranberries, crumbled gorgonzola, and sweet zingy raspberry vinaigrette. And rich tender spinach, basil, and tomato tortellini, in a creamy garlic sauce. Their Mussels Fra-Diavlo were fresh tender and juicy, sauteed in garlic olive oil, with crushed red peppers and rich Pomodoro sauce. We loved their brightly-flavored chicken piccata, pan-sautéed in light fresh-tasting olive oil, with white-wine lemon-butter sauce, tasty little capers, and melt-in-your-mouth artichoke hearts. Served over creamy risotto. So good! Our server, Maybelline is the nicest best ever, with a great sense of humor. We were happy to see Dario's busy in the early evening on a Friday (Apr 2026). Their dishes are so good, each perfectly prepared and delicious. They rival any we've had in that big Olde Towne on the harbor :-). We hope that Dario's Ristorante is part of a resurgence of good food spots in this part of town.

I can honestly say this place matches and exceeds many of the restaurants I've dined at in Napa, California. This place is a jewel and I hope it keeps on running here in downtown Fitchburg. I got the haddock special which was cooked to perfection and on a bed of spinach, tomatoes, and excellent pasta. Other items ordered at our table, included the muscles, which were excellent, two muscle options were available that night. The scallops were also very good and also served on a bed of pasta. The Caesar salad I ordered was excellent and loaded with anchovies, which I love. However, others may want to hold the anchovies, but that's just how I like it. I'd come back for the Caesar salad alone. Excellent cocktails across the bar at a reasonable price. Very good wine list again with good pricing. Perhaps the only negative thing I could say is the corkage fee was $35 which is a little bit high even for California pricing. However, overall, the pricing here is very good and fair. We were here on a Monday night so they were not busy and service was excellent. This is a local gem and I definitely would recommend and hopefully will return soon!
