Nova joya, Italian restaurant in Herzliya, Israel.
Nova Joya is an Italian restaurant on Shenkar Street in Herzliya, serving traditional Italian dishes in both an indoor room and an open terrace. The indoor space is climate-controlled, while the terrace faces the street and is open to the outdoors.
The restaurant is part of the Joya group, which started in Herzliya before opening other locations. Nova Joya was one of the first stops in that expansion.
The kitchen uses a stone oven to bake fresh focaccia and pizzas every day. This oven sits at the heart of the cooking and gives the food a character that sets it apart from most Italian places in the area.
The restaurant is open daily and offers lunch menus from Sunday through Thursday. Those who prefer the terrace should keep the season in mind, as conditions outside can change quite a bit depending on the weather.
The head chef combines local Israeli ingredients with imported Italian products, which gives the menu a character of its own. This mix shows up clearly in the taste and sets the food apart from a purely imported concept.
