We were a party of 4. Three of us had dinner off the specials menu. Petite fillets melted like butter, cooked to perfection. The veal special was delicious. Appetizers: meatballs=yummy Dessert: split the chocolate molten cake and a crème brûlée = also very yummy. Cocktails were spot on. We frequent Nuovo and have never had a bad meal. Tim was our waiter. He was very attentive and did a great job.
