Review by Tania Gutmann

December 05, 2024

Novu Bistro is a delightful find in downtown St. Petersburg! The cozy atmosphere, complete with soft lighting, sets the stage for a perfect evening. I savored the shrimp fra diavolo, bursting with flavor, while my friend enjoyed the pan-seared branzino - both absolutely scrumptious.

We shared a slice of the lighter-than-air limoncello cake for dessert, which was a highlight! The service was impressive, friendly, and attentive without being overbearing. Outdoor seating is a plus, making for a lovely dining experience. Can’t wait to return! 🍽️
