Crema's Take

Novo Café is a beloved neighborhood gem just a short walk from the Warner Bros. Studio Tour, where Italian authenticity shines through in both their celebrated pink sauce pasta and house-made desserts that rival what you'd find in Italy itself. The candlelit patio with heat lamps creates an inviting escape for lingering conversations over coffee and pastries, while the genuinely warm staff—like their standout server Gabriel—makes every visit feel like returning to a friend's table rather than just stopping by a café.

After finishing the Warner Bros. Studio Tour, I was craving Italian food, and Novo Café was the perfect choice! It’s one of the closest restaurants just about a 10-minute walk from the studio. We arrived right on time for their happy hour, which starts at 3 PM and offers great food deals. I ordered the Pesto Pasta, and it was delicious even without any meat, it was full of flavor. Definitely a nice spot to grab a meal after the tour!

Everything was so good here. And Gabriel was so nice and friendly. We enjoyed our early supper so much. If we gonna travel to LA again, we definitely will stop by for another round of meal😍

Our favorite restaurant in the neighborhood! The food is fantastic (especially their amazing "pink sauce") and the atmosphere is wonderful. The patio is cute and cozy, with great lighting and heat lamps for the colder months. 10/10 would recommend!

We've been here before, but tonight was an entirely different experience! The food was so delicious. We split an arugula salad and we both had the Penne Firenze. Very good. For desert I had the Nonna cake, which I loved. She had the Blueberry Orange Tart. Amazing. We even had an authentic Italian server. She was so pleasant and helpful. Overall, a great dinner, hanging out on the outdoor patio. We will be back again soon.
