Novella Wine - St. Louis

Delicious drinks and eating, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming.

Have driven by several times and decided to stop in with 2 couples on a Saturday night.Vibe: immediately warm and inviting. Place was bustling but not crowded. Service was busy yet attentive, we asked questions and took every recommendation.Drinks: we ordered 7 of their signature cocktails from the fall menu and passed them around all delicious. The Nutty Irishman was a pleasant surprise. Fall apple caramel sangria tasted like pie. Smoked Manhattan used mesquite, which was a bit strong for the cocktail IMHO. Owner also suggested a couple liqueurs and aperitifs, both delicious, especially the macadamia nut despite it's gasohol nose.We were all delighted by this hidden gem wine bar on S Kingshighway, ended up staying until near closing. Great conversation with the owner, it's been open 9 years. They have a small but charming wrap-around patio, will check it out in warmer weather.Will definitely be back and try the food and enjoy the patio.

The stuffed dates are everything! The wine selection is unique and fantastic. The Balkan beef plate had a delicious assortment and the atmosphere was just beautiful from the music to the decor.

Very quaint and relaxing little wine bar. Nice ambience. Service was excellent. Food was hot and fresh; wine and sangria were delicious.

We were visiting from out of town when our host suggested this location. There was great food, fantastic wines, great music and a calm relaxing atmosphere. The Owner was genuinely kind and gracious! Definitely recommend!
