Took my wife here on a whim one night wondering what to do for date night. I'm glad we tried it. The food is great and the service is very friendly. I probably wouldn't bring kids because it's a little tight, but a great spot for couples and friends alike. Meal type Dinner Price per person $50–100 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

How this place doesn’t have 5 stars across the board is beyond me! My wife and I have been to Novios for dinner several times now and we both feel that it is not only the best restaurant in Bangor, but one of the best restaurants period. We live in the Boston area and in all honesty there are only a small handful of Boston restaurants that come close. Every meal has been fantastic, the cocktail menu is creative and always changing, the wine list is terrific. The atmosphere is intimate to the point where we recently joked and chatted with not only our servers and the owner, but two other dining parties. We’ve tried other places in the area, but again nothing compares. We recommend Novios to any guests who visit the area. It’s much easier to leave a bad review when you have a bad experience but it’s finally time for us to sing the praises of this wonderful spot. We’ll be back again and again!

One of the best meals of my life and the best meal I have had in Maine. Everything about this restaurant is perfect. Attentive friendly staff with an owner presence. My food was cooked perfectly and the wine parings were customized and on par. I have nothing negative to say about this place! It is better than Michelin star restaurants I have been and should have one! The menu changes frequently so check the website. FYI if you are at the bar you can order à la carte. The dinner menu is not a true prefix in the sense that you have options for each course. If you enjoy a wonderful meal in a bistro environment you will not be disappointed. (They also had vegan and allergy friendly items) Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $50–100 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Vegan Options

Ate here last night and could not have been more pleased with a truly wonderful dinner. The atmosphere is intimate and warm. The service is helpful, informative, and pleasantly casual. As for the food, it was absolutely delicious. Every course each of the four people in our party was served was superb and we savored every morsel. Also impressive were the cocktails which were just perfect. Highly recommend having dinner here.

Courtney is the GOAT! She really brings her A game every night and makes Novio’s an amazing experience. Bob is an engaged owner who takes time to speak with each of his costumers and makes them feel welcome.

Gluten Free Friendly!!! Have to say I absolutely loved 3 of the 4 courses. Loved: Tuna tartare squash soup, pear salad, and the chocolate mousse. My entree: Mahi Mahi was good, but bit bland.

An absolutely stunning anniversary dinner. This 4 course meal was beautiful and absolutely delicious. The handcrafted drinks were high quality, creative and perfect. The place is small and doesn't look like much from the street, but inside is a whole different world....warm and inviting. The bartender was gracious and attentive to anything we needed. Well worth saving your pennies for an exquisite fine dining experience in Bangor, Maine that rivals any big city. We will be back. Thank you!

I have never left a review anywhere in my life but this restaurant deserves it. It delivers on everything I could look for, a quiet and intimate atmosphere, food exquisitely prepared and wonderful but not overwhelming service. This is the only place I have eaten in Maine on par or better, than restaurants in say NYC or Boston. Amazing Meal type Dinner Price per person $50–100 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Amazing food, amazing staff, inviting environment. Favorite place to eat in Maine. Everyone is friendly, accommodating and kind. Will definitely be back to dine with Novio’s again. The boozy hot chocolate is fantastic. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Stress free dining with amazing food! My enjoyment of The goat cheese salad cannot be adequately described and the scallops were cooked to absolute perfection. In my opinion, the prices for such an experience are far under what I’d expect. Don’t hesitate to experience this wonderful restaurant.
