Great food and great service as well. The servers were nice and his recommendations proved to be spot on. The summit is a two hour drive for my wife and I. We always finish a good day of shopping with North Italia.

This was my first time here and I truly enjoyed my late night, after work wind-down. Food and service were fantastic. Great environment. Will definitely be back.

We left Culinary Dropout after drinks took 20+ minutes to come here - We had a great dinner. Walter was awesome - super informative and ready to assist with anything at all times. The carpaccio was plated that morning or the day before (hate that), the $15 dollar buttered pita bread was terrible, everything else was amazing though! We had numerous pizzas which were great and the bolognese was also really good.

Waited for an hour after being told it would be thirty minutes for a table for my party, then was told it would be thirty more minutes even though i could see an open table that would have fit my party, and it had been open since we got there.

Went in at Lunch time. They were quite busy inside and out, but we were quickly seated. Our waiter promptly took our drink order and soon after our food order. We chose to split "The Pig" pizza and a chicken parm sandwich. Both were larger than expected and delicious. Definitely will go back to try the fresh pasta dishes.

My husband and I went to North Italia for my birthday dinner last week. It was our first time and I'm looking forward to coming back! We started with the white truffle garlic bread and it was fantastic! I also ordered the Julietta and it is quite possibly my favorite cocktail I have ever had anywhere! My husband ordered the golden fig old fashioned and enjoyed it as well. For our main course I had the Strozzapretti and my husband had the spicy rigatoni vodka. We both loved our dishes and had plenty to take home for lunch the next day! The only thing I did not enjoy was the seasonal butter cake. It was red velvet with raspberries and a scoop of vanilla gelato. The cake was very dry but I enjoyed the gelato! Next time I will try the tiramisu! The service was great and our server was very helpful in suggesting things we would enjoy! I also enjoyed the decor and all the windows. We will have to try the patio when weather permits!

We picked up dinner here on a Saturday nite, and our wait was minimal. We had the calamari which definitely stole the show for the appetizer round-it was so good! We also had a ceaser salad, and did not enjoy the dressing, we found it excessively fishy; the shaved cheese on it however was fantastic! For dinner we each had pizzas, and they were fantastic! The crust was wonderful, and the upgrade to the pesto swirl was great! The margherita pizza was delicious. We will definitely be back!

The food was okay. My husband had the short rib and ordered a side of veggies for a complete plate. I had the salmon recommended by our server. It was not the correct temperature but I ate it anyway since the food took a bit to come out. The drinks are good. The atmosphere is like a hybrid local bar and small restaurant. The are TVs at the bar and the bar is equipped for most orders. Overall, I'd day give it a try. The night we went was busy. Getting a reservation wasn't difficult and the server was kind despite being busy.

Celebrating a friend's "agement" we decided to give this place a try. I only gave it 4 stars for food because the calamari was rubbery and not that tasty. However, my chicken parm was spot on. I hadn't had a decent parmesan chicken dish since I went home to NYS. The chicken was tender and juicy and their pasta was absolutely delicious, my server forgot my garlic white sauce I didn't even miss it.Clarification: My server was awesome, forgetting the sauce was minor. I enjoyed the pasta regardless.

This is one of my favorite places to come for an easy drink and eat. Never stressing when you are here. The Chicken Pesto Pasta is outstanding! Also went for the Pork Shoulder Pasta last night, recommend by my waiter JR, and I'm glad he did. Great choice! If you are looking for a nice night out, good food, social atmosphere, and the ability to loosen up, come on here. You won't be disappointed!

This place is a treat! The atmosphere is great, beautiful interior, amazing service from the time we walked in! Everyone that worked there was pleasant, welcoming, and friendly! We had to Caesar salad to start and the hot honey special pizza! Both were an absolute taste bud explosion! Then a nice latte to end the dinner on the way out! 5/5 for sure and will be back! Great date spot! If you're looking for a date spot!

Hey foodies, let's dish about my recent feast at North Italia, where every bite was a flavor explosion waiting to happen. Starting strong with the starters, the Calamari Fritti was a crispy delight served with marinara and a spicy aioli that packed just the right punch. What's intriguing is their use of an almost beer batter-like coating, adding a unique twist to this classic dish. And let's not overlook the Little Gem Caesar - a standout salad with micro grated parmesan that elevated it to new heights. Now onto the mains, the Spicy Meatball Pizza was a winner, boasting a perfect undercarriage and just the right amount of heat. Pro tip: dip that crust into the side of spicy vodka sauce for an extra flavor kick. And of course, the Spicy Rigatoni Vodka - a hearty and savory pasta dish that never fails to satisfy. As for the dining experience, our waiter was top-notch, and enjoying our meal on the cozy patio was the cherry on top, allowing us to soak in the pleasant weather. In conclusion, North Italia has earned its place as one of our go-to restaurants. With consistently delicious dishes and impeccable service, it's a spot that never disappoints. Can't wait for our next visit!

I just got back from the wonderful night for my 27th birthday. The service was amazing , I didn't like my first choice of meal ( nothing they did just my personal preference) and they brought out my new meal quickly . So most definitely a 10/10 must try again lol !

We had a very poor experience at North Italia. I made a reservation two weeks in advance, and when we arrived few minutes early for a reservation we had to wait a least 30 mins to be seated. It took forever for our food to come out, and all the dishes came out separately to the point that some people were finished with their meals before the pizzas even came to the table. Also, when the pizzas finally came out, one was burnt ,one was cold and one was incorrect and they had to take it back to redo . The youngest child at the table who ordered a kids pizza was the last one to be served an hour and a half after we had been seated. Our waitress was not apologetic and only cared about making sure we understood it wasn't her fault. It was a disappointing dinner for my child's 10th birthday and for our family visiting from out of town.
