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.
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!
Just entering through the door you know you are at the right place.
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!
Whether you are looking for a special date night, or a “I don’t want to cook tonight” place, Novio’s Bistro is the place to eat. Bob and his team work together to keep the food and drink menus fresh and seasonally appropriate. And with my food allergies there’s no where else I’d rather eat in Bangor than Novio’s Bistro. And when in doubt always get Courtney’s smoked old fashioned.
The salmon and pork belly nigiri were absurd. The rice was wayyy too moist 😅, but otherwise best salmon of my life and that risotto was awesome. If you pureed some pees and it tinted it green is the only thing I could do different haha but otherwise was the best. Great drinks and service too. Highly recommend.
For each course, we chose what sounded best to us, but after getting through that meal, I would be just as excited to order anything else off their menu.
Hands down the best food in Bangor. We had an incredible night at Novio’s—everything from the service to the atmosphere to the food was flawless. The staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care that we had a great experience. Every course was perfectly prepared and beautifully presented, and you can really tell the kitchen takes pride in what they do.
Great food! Amazing cocktails! Fantastic atmosphere!
