Novello

About Novello

The Fylde Coast is home to plenty of Italian restaurants but none of them offer the kind of contemporary Italian fine dining experience that you’ll find at Novello. Situated on Lytham’s main thoroughfare, Clifton Street, the family business first opened in 2004 with father Tony handling front-of-house and son Salvatore, a self-taught chef, heading up the kitchen. Diners have a choice between a la carte and the five-course ‘Passion’ tasting menu and both options provide choices that you simply won’t see in most other Italians. You might start with Pan Roasted Scallop with peas, sweet edible sand, pea puree and lemon foam or Beetroot cannelloni with goats cheese, roasted beets, beetroot gel and beetroot caviar. For the main course you might try Turbot with celeriac, cucumber, asparagus and potato nest or Fillet of Veal with cauliflower, raisins and leeks. Pasta dishes include Tagliatelle Pepati, strips of beef with leeks in a peppercorn and cream sauce, and needless to say there is not a pizza in sight. Novello has a good selection of Italian wines ranging right up the scale to top-end offerings such as Solaia. And wine matching is an option with the ‘Passion’ tasting menu. The restaurant is intimate and inviting and can seat up to 50 diners over two floors. Private dining is an option for groups of up to 18.
