  3. GREAT PLACE-WONDERFUL STAFF AND MGR.
    For the past 2 Valentine's Day, my boyfriend and I have celebrated at Novecento. The manager there (Maria), treated us like family. She accommodated us to a very romantic corner table upstairs and checked in with us during the course of the night making sure we were comfortable and that the food was to our expectations. The menu was pre-fix and the price ($60 pp) was great with generous food po...

  9. Eh .... Try to Avoid
    We had a group of 10 for lunch on a Saturday. We were seated about 2:30 so I wouldn't consider it peak lunch time. They probably seat a maximum of 55 people, so it's relatively small. There seemed to be only one waiter and he was flustered & busy enough that he couldn't pay much attention to us. We were obviously ready to order for about 10 minutes before he came over. Granted, he was busy r...

  10. Great beef and excellent service
    Novecento proved to be a great Soho dining experience. Our server, Luis, was from Brazil and provided nothing but first-rate service. We began the evening at the bar and were promptly waited on until our table was ready at exactly 9:30. At the table, we started with the Picada Criolla. One order was enough for the entire table; the chorizo and skirt steak were excellent. I ordered the specia...

  11. Great food and friendly waitstaff but manager was arrogant
    I had a great dinner last Saturday night, we arrived at 10 and were promptly seated. The food was perfect and our waiter was really nice. What ruined our dinner was that the music was turned on noticeable louder at about 11- 11:30, so much louder that we could not have a conversation. My friend talked to the manager on duty to see if he could do something, his reply was " this is our trademark, l...

  12. malbec Room
    came for dinner this weekend and found that they opened a lounge upstairs called Malbec Room? It was packed!! Dj playing house music, cute bartender slamming drinks out, people dancing...it was great! Apparently they are going to have a small tapas menu also. This might be my new place...definitely check it out if you are looking for something club like without the club crowd!

  13. Skip this joint and go for something better
    This lively spot is a mismanaged, disorganized mess. Customer service is nonexistent- even when they promise you a table, they still somehow manage to give it away without apology. Overpriced drinks, loud and crowded, only because of this restaurant's location. The restaurant's self-proclaimed manager and owner, Guillermo, is a smug, senseless figure who'd serve the restaurant better if he wer...

  14. Bad Bad Service. Regular food.
    The service is HORRIBLE. They serve you like they were making you a favor. The food is regular to bad...NOTHING TO DO WITH THE REAL GOOD ARGENTINIAN FOOD. You can have good red wines and beer...but you can have it at so many places!! DO NOT GO. I am from Argentina, belive me, this is not what we like to eat.

  15. Bad service - food not great - Stay away!
    With so many better places to eat steak in the city - and the rude serice at Novecento - can't see any reason to go back. We visited with a party of 10 (had been to the Miami Novecento several times - which is actually good). Got there and apparently our reservation was cancelled (host claimed we hadn't called to confirm it - yet we never received call from them - and we had made the reser...

  16. Revisited (previous post)
    Novecento (Fernando) left a message on my cellphone and stated that they will pay back the extra-charged dinner. He was apologetic. Nonetheless, I do not understand why I would be charged 18% gratuity for a party of only two. We were dressed well, polite, and did not make any retorts or excessive demands during dinner. I was pretty close to calling the owner (my secretary was able to find i...

  17. Service did not match the food
    Came here with a date and immediately liked the room and nice bar scene even though we had a bit of a wait despite a reservation. We ordered a bottle of wine. After taking unusually long to bring the wine, the waiter could not open the bottle and had to get a different one. After struggling again, he finally got it open and filled our glasses. The wine was good and the food was very good and ...

  18. Consistently good food
    I have been to Novecento twice during visits to New York and both times the food and service have been very good. We were seated promptly and the wait staff have always been attentive. It is a relaxing restaurant, good for couples and small groups, but can get a little crowded. There is a variety of menu selections including excellent meats and seafood, salads and desserts. The wines are very...

  19. My new favorite Manhattan restaurant
    This is everything you want in a SoHo restaurant and then some. The ambience is tops, the steaks are phenomenal (make sure to get the skirt steak), and the place has tons of character. Very romantic and a great spot the city from where to go elsewhere after your meal. I really have no knocks on this place, the owner served us quickly & promptly...didnt give us a hard time when we didnt order drin...

  20. TOP 5 of my Fav Restaurants in NYC!
    I have been to several the "$$$-$$$$" restaurants in NYC and NOVECENTO is one of the best in service, food and of course trendy ambience as well. The decor is not as fancy as some of the others although, you cannot resist the Seafood Linguini and their famous Argentinian Skirt Steak with Chimichutti sauce! Most of the servers are from Argentina which makes the place feel more like the country. Go...

  21. Nice, if a bit pricey
    My usual place to go for steak frites in SoHo. Great tasting meat, intimate if slightly noisy ambience and the service is slightly less attentive than it could be but is done with charm. Only gripe is that it is a little bit pricey for for what it offers. Otherwise a safe bet.

  22. Great Place!
    We were a party of three, I was an hour late, my friends did not even want to eat appetizers before I arrived and despite being packed to capacity, they were never rushed. The wine selection was great and true to Argentina, the staff friendly and I can't seem to get enough of that free range beef

  23. Poor Service
    Overall I thought the food was OK but the service was quite poor. The waiter was curt and somewhat rude to us. When we finished our meal the manager came over to our table and asked us to leave because he had a party waiting for the table. It pretty much ruins the dining experience when you are pushed out the door after you eat.

  24. great beef
    and i'm usually not much of a steak eater. but this place is great. the space is very comfortable - they don't rush you - you don't have a server holding your bill in their hand asking if you'd like anything else. you get to ask for the check when you're ready. the fries were really good - another thing i don't eat often - but when you order fries they need to be awesome. i would definitely...

  26. Amazing Filet Mignon!
    I was told about this place from a friend who swore by it...and she was right. Argentine steak is by far the best. The restaurant is very romantic, went for my birthday dinner with my boyfriend. Lit by candles and is very quiet. The wine list is very good but nothing beats the enormous and delicious filet mignons. The waiters aren't overly nice, but I guess that is what you get for soho...do...

  29. sunday night spot
    sunday night was pretty good, 2nd floor was packed, the tunes were pretty good, mostly deep house and techno. Crowd was mostly interested in getting dusted. But you can't ask for a better scene on a sunday.

  30. Down hill
    I was there about a year and a half ago and remembered the food was excellent. I went back there last night with a party of 7. It was disappointing enough for me to have to write about it. When I first walked in to find empty tables at 7:30pm on a Thursday night, that should have been a sign. Aside from the room being hot, sitting in the back, we had appertiser that were mediocre to say the l...

  31. Quaint & First-Rate!!!!!
    My husband and I had the pleasure of dining at Novecento on Memorial Day weekend. The atmosphere is charming the food is excellent and the prices are great! The waiter could have been more amiable, but we didn't let that spoil our dinner. I would highly recommend Novecento to anyone visiting New York City!
