— Italian Restaurant & Bar —

Our Story
The Old Venice Inn originally opened in Baldwin, NY in 1937. It quickly became an integral part of Baldwin's social scene — a neighborhood gathering place where couples shared a pizza pie and families dined on Italian favorites.
Over the years, the restaurant has changed ownership and name — from Old Venice Inn to NOVI: New Old Venice Inn — but the commitment to high quality food and friendly customer service has never changed.

What People Say
Serving Baldwin & Long Island with love since 1937
"I LOVE NOVI ! The staff and the food are AMAZING ! The atmosphere here is just amazing this is a place where you can sit down and have a great meal and talk with your significant other. No blasting music just a nice quiet ambiance. Definitely recommend!"
"It's been a while since I been here maybe like 2016. But mannn it's still as good as the last visit from the fresh bread to the sangria steak bites the pasta is to die for this is one of my favorite spot to go to where I'm local but in the cut. I suggest you guys get up here it nice quiet and out the way in Baldwin."
"Novi is one of the best family style Italian spots around. I've been to other fancy high-end Italian restaurants and they just don't compare to the love and soul in Novi's food. The eggplant Parmesean is amazing and huge in proportion. The bolognese is absolute perfection and so is the penne alla vodka. The garlic butter salmon is a dream and I love the garlic bread that they serve for free. Novi is amazing!!"
"Drove by this place for years and never bothered to go in until someone gave me a gift card to this restaurant. Am sorry I didn't go sooner. Food is fantastic the portions are generous and the bread they put on table is delicious. Will be making this restaurant a regular spot."
"This place is truly a hidden gem. Passed it so many times without stopping. Tried it a couple of years ago and we're hooked. Food and service can't be beat."
"Was my first time ordering from here & called it in. From the phone call alone, I had the best experience. The lady was SOOOO sweet and when I went to pick up the food she was beyond attentive and sweet. Food was delicious and I'll definitely go back with my family. They are super lucky to have the bartender/waitress"
