I got the Lamb chop special, undercooked, glad I ordered medium-well, too much gristle and not much flavor. The ravioli that came with it were great, Others at the table enjoyed their Chicken Picata and Salmon Nice wine, prices are reasonable, charming atmosphere, we were overwhelmed by the strong cheese odor when we entered.

We had a great time at Novecento- service was excellent, food was great and enjoyed the house wines! We both ordered Penne pasta with a ragu sauce and the portions were generous and we enjoyed the home-made taste. We loved not having to drive all over town and the atmosphere was friendly. We have dined here many times and will return in the near future.

I last went to Novecento years ago when it was a lovely, intimate little Italian restaurant. A lot seems to have changed. We made reservations on a weeknight and found the restaurant packed, and not in a good way. The tables were crowded and badly arranged; everyone was aware of their neighbor. The lights were too bright, the noise too loud and the service seemed harried and unprepared. Most importantly, it seemed like the food quality has dipped. The wine list was very basic and many of the dishes were cooked with soybean oil rather than olive oil (which is more expensive). We'd asked before booking since one of our diners has a soy allergy, but didn't find out the truth until we ordered. Until they pull it together, I'd give Sotto a try.

Culver City has a lot of great places to eat outside. This is one of them. The dish I chose was not exactly to my liking but great ambiance.

Took a date to a b-day dinner here and it was the best Italian place I've been to in the Culver area so far. Big portions. We shared an antipasta and the ravioli, which was absolutely amazing, and that was more than enough for us, especially with the awesome bread and olive oil topping that was brought out. They gave us an incredible dessert afterwards, which was completely unexpected. All in all, had a great experience.

Nice food and staff in the heart of downtown Culver City. My husband raves about their pescatore--well cooked, not over-cooked and nicely seasoned.
