Novo welcomes reservations for lunch, dinner, and Sunday brunch.


Commonly Asked Questions

  • Yes. Our corkage policy is a fee of $20 per the first five 750ml bottles of wine. This fee is waived per bottle of wine purchased from our wine list. See list here.

  • Absolutely. Our restaurant is mainly outdoors, so all reservations are seated on our patio (weather permitting). We have heaters all over our patio, but we recommend dressing in layers as San Luis Obispo can get chilly in the evenings. If you need an extra layer, please ask your server for one of our blankets.

  • Parking garages are located on Palm St. and on Marsh St. There is plenty of metered parking around downtown. If you are visiting on a Thursday evening, Farmers Market may make it challenging to find parking, so we recommend parking in the garages. If parking in the garages, you will need your license plate number as part of the payment process, so be sure to have that handy before you walk away from your vehicle.

  • Yes! Our outdoor patio is pet friendly. Please see our Pet Policy here.

  • Unfortunately, no. You must come to the restaurant and speak to our host in order to be added to the waitlist. They can take your information and provide you with an estimated seating time.

  • Yes! For parties of 8 or more, please call the restaurant to make your reservation request. Please note that parties of 8 or more there is a 20% Service Charge applied to your bill. This charge is taxed per state law and the entirety of it is distributed to your service team.

    For parties of 20 or more, please contact our Events Manager at events@novorestaurant.com with your reservation request. You may also submit this Event Request Form here.
