Good food, quality service – what could be better? Whether you’re looking for an intimate meal or a place to gather with friends, Novara is the place to go for the best restaurant experience on the South Shore. Chef Tony DeRienzo uses Italian influences to infuse classic dishes with a hint of worldliness, making our menus fun, yet familiar. Our stylish and inviting space in the former State Theater of East Milton Square welcomes you to a quick, casual bite at the bar or to celebrate that special anniversary dinner.
Novara is named for DeRienzo’s ancestral hometown in the Piedmont region of northern Italy. His menu features modern interpretations of pan-Âregional Italian comfort food classics with local New England accents. DeRienzo, a Brockton native, studied at Johnson & Wales before working for such Boston chefs as Tony Ambrose and Lydia Shire.
Kick off dinner with Tuscan white bean soup, Sicilian tuno crudo or ground chicken saltimbocca sandwich. Mangia housemade pasta, highlighted by “Nonna’s†spaghetti and meatballs — a savory pork, veal and beef recipe straight from DeRienzo’s mother Raffaela.
Entrees include whole bronzini with lemon zest tomato cream; beef tenderloin with leek gorgonzola mashed potatoes; and classic cioppino, an Italian-American seafood stew in light tomato and saffron broth. Novara also serves thin-crust Neapolitan-style pizzas.

Novara’s other star attraction is a cavernous dining room in the re-purposed former Milton Cinema, designed by Steve Todisco (best known for his work with Davio’s).
The gleaming space with bright white tiles boasts a large 50-seat Carrara marble island bar, 23-foot-high ceilings with exposed wood, steel and utilities, and a massive, 16-foot TV above the open kitchen that replicates an old movie theaÂter screen. The brick-lined patio will open when warm weather returns, offering the neighborhood’s only al fresco dining.
Swampies will be heading there soon so make sure you check back for the buzz!!
