Our next cooking class is a week and a half away, and these always sell out.

Thursday, August 20. A hands on evening with Chef Michael, cooking through the dishes that make La Novella feel like home. You learn, you eat, you drink, and you leave knowing how to make it yourself.

Only a handful of seats and the last few classes filled fast. If you have been waiting for the next one, now is the time.

Call 516-794-6248 to reserve your seat before they are gone.

Process, then result.

It starts on the open flame in the back and comes out as surf and turf, a seared filet and shrimp over saffron rice. Worth the wait every single time.

Call 516-794-6248 to reserve your table.

We asked what people are addicted to here. Every answer was a plate.

The chicken cutlet in red sauce, the mussels marinara, a table full of people who are in no rush to leave. That is a Friday at La Novella.

Call 516-794-6248 to reserve your table.

08/06/2026

Seven specials this weekend, and one of them is a flower.

Stuffed zucchini flowers, only while the season holds. Clams casino and arancini to start. Homemade pappardelle bocconcini. The seafood platter, built for the middle of the table. Veal braciole and pork chop valdostana to finish.

Chef Michael’s list, Friday through Sunday. When it’s gone, it’s gone.

Send this to whoever you’re bringing this weekend.

Call 516-794-6248 to reserve.

Michael has tried to skip a class before. The regulars would not let him.

Four courses, cooked and talked through one at a time, with a different wine poured alongside each one. You watch how each dish comes together, then the whole table sits down and eats it.

Thursday, August 20 at 6:00 PM.

Call 516-794-6248 to reserve your seat. Send this to whoever always picks the restaurant.

08/04/2026

Save this for the next time nobody can agree on where to eat.

Start with the penne in a marinara we simmer all day. Then the house salad our regulars fight over, the golden fried cheese over asparagus, and the linguine alle vongole piled with fresh clams.

Five plates worth the drive to East Meadow.

Which one are you ordering first?

Call 516-794-6248 to reserve your table.

08/03/2026

For the pasta lovers, this one is for you.

Penne alla vodka and a chicken parm baked until the cheese pulls clean off the fork. The same plates we have been making the same way for 25 years.

Come hungry.

Call 516-794-6248 to reserve your table.

08/02/2026
