Wonderful ambience and food. Great coffees, and the tiramisu desert was the best I ever had. Portions can be large. Excellent service as well.

One of the best patios I've seen if you're up for outdoor eating, and their caprese salad is delicious.

I visited today for the second time. I ordered the Nova gyro with feta cheese. It was huge and delicious, with very fresh lettuce, tomato, and red onion. Healthy, full of flavor and delicious. I called my oder in, I was there on 10 mins and it was ready. They have a very nice patio area.

Cafe Nova has a *pita* our hearts! This authentic Mediterranean must-try is only 5 minutes from us in the Princeton Heights neighborhood. (Um, how did we get so lucky?!) Although it's tucked right alongside traffic-heavy Kingshighway, their patio couldn't possibly be more peaceful and picturesque--and there's plenty of parking around back! Every dish we ordered was divine! From the hummus starter to the salmon special, the sangria to the grilled chicken plate, we were stuffed and so, so happy! The only thing we'd do differently next time? Save room for dessert!

A friend suggested this place for a group of us for lunch and it's been on my list for awhile, so I was happy to finally check it out. We got a big table outside under some umbrellas and enjoyed the fresh air. Our waitress was really attentive and funny. She kept telling us about her favorite songs, favorite drinks, and was cracking jokes with us throughout lunch. I got a greek salad with grilled chicken and a side of fries. It was delicious! The chicken was tender, the salad was fresh and large, and the fries were perfectly crispy. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meals and I know I will be coming back again.

It will teach me to check reviews before I go venturing to somewhere new. I looked on Google for coffee shops and found this place about 20 min from home. I was looking for somewhere to chill out and do some cross stitch while enjoying a cup of coffee. Google recommended this place. It's super neat picturesque restaurant, but it is definitely not a coffee shop that I anticipated. It is actually Greek and Italian food. They do not serve coffee at 4pm though. So if you're looking for that, come before 4pm. I wasn't exactly greeted by a host when walking in either, although the sign said to see a hostess for outdoor seating. When I entered, there were 2 male servers taking food out. They told me I could sit wherever, so I found a seat outside. They quickly brought me a water and a menu. Then I was greeted by a very pleasant young lady. She was a fantastic server. She apologized that they did not offer coffee after 4pm, which was fine. My only complaint, and why I rated this 4 stars instead of 5, is how long it took to get my food. I ordered a chicken panini. It took about 30 min and she went to check on it a few times. They weren't super busy. There was 1 large table there and me, by myself. The large table had already been served so not sure what took so long. The food was hot too. Maybe it's the time to cook the chicken. I'm happy it was hot and fresh! If you are short on time, do not come here expecting super quick food service. If you have time to chill, kick back, and enjoy an evening out, I'd definitely recommend this place! I will have to come back though when I can have my coffee.

Went to Cafe Nova for lunch, they have a fabulous patio with plenty of seating. Our waitress was friendly and very attentive. We ordered the Nova Gyro with feta, Italian panini, and the Greek burger. All orders came with delicious oregano fries and ketchup. I highly recommend the Nova Gyro which has plenty of gyro meat! Can't wait to return to enjoy the beautiful ambience and try more entrees.

I had a craving for some Mediterranean food and was so excited to hear that there were several near me in South City! I decided to give this place a try since they had good reviews and we're pretty close to me. The entire place, inside and out, was beautiful and decorated. I ordered their pastitsio and bonus points that it was a decent price AND came with a side salad But I was disappointed that it was a little dry and also wasn't made with the traditional tubular pasta.

We stopped in late on a Monday afternoon. We were sat right away and ordered some water. I had a traditional gyro with added feta cheese. It was MASSIVE and stuffed with meat and veggies. I started out biting into it but quickly realized this was a fork and knife situation. Everything tasted amazing and was fresh and hot! Ambiance looked fun for a night on the porch/patio but it was raining today. My partner got the spanacopita and it was heavenly.
