  • Once upon a time the Pizza Nova was one of the better Havana restaurants serving good quality pizza in the upmarket Marina Hemingway. Perhaps the competition just got better and it is now simply relatively less attractive. Be that as it may, this place now looks old, tired and unappealing. The outdoor terrace still has a good view over one of the slips of the marina but even this seems to have lost its former glamour.

    The pizza and pasta is fine, nothing special here and no competition for the better pizza restaurants now open in Havana.
