Novo Cafe

Gabriel was an attentive and timely server. Gluten Free options in most dishes. The drunken sea with pink vodka sauce always pleases. The monthly specials are a treat esp the Seafood Risotto. Outside dining on a comfortable summer night makes this place one of my favorite go to spots in Toluca Lake.

The food at this restaurant is great at a great price, and the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable, however, if you have Celiac disease or a severe gluten intolerance, their care around gluten cross contamination is not always great. They have a gluten free pasta option, however this pasta is cooked in the same water with other gluten containing pasta. Previously, this was not the case, but their policy recently changed without notice. The roasted potatoes they serve in the morning are not gluten free, however the ones they serve in the evening are different and they ARE gluten free. They do have gluten free pizzas, and I was told those are given a dedicated gluten free pizza stone, and they also have very good fish entrees that are gluten free as well. Overall the restaurant is great, but take care if you have an extreme gluten intolerance or Celiac, and always ask about your meal to be safe.
