Novara, Milton, MA Seaside Sips

If you are in the South Shore area, you must check out Novara in Milton, MA. Novara rivals the quality and authenticity of Boston’s North End restaurants in a more suburban setting while remaining a casual neighborhood and bar restaurant.

The culinary team is led by Executive Chef, Anthony DeRienzo, who incorporates elements of his Italian heritage in a menu that is both appealing and approachable. Tony’s passion for cooking was igniting at a young age thanks to his Italian mother as well as his great experience at Johnson and Wales University. Novara is the perfect place to head to for a drink after work, a date night, a celebration, or a delicious Italian dinner to treat yourself to!
