Average overpriced, salty food. We waited an hour for our appetizers. We sat outside. It was extremely noisy. This is an overrated a Italian restaurant. It was OC Restaurant week, but a lot of the items were not available for the special deal. I'm sure if I didn't ask about OC restaurant week menu, the item I wanted would have been available for purchase at full price.

Excellent food and service. The cuisine differs significantly from Olive Garden. It is more costly compared to other Italian restaurants in the area.

Prompt service. Came here in the afternoon one work day for happy hour with the team. Pizza of the day and chef's board (meat and cheese platter) were the highlights for the nights. The calamari batter is on the salty side.

North Italia offers a sleek, modern Italian vibe that immediately feels welcoming. The pastas and pizzas are fresh, flavorful, and made with high-quality ingredients. The staff is friendly and attentive, though it can get pretty busy and loud, which makes it a bit harder to relax during peak times. Still, it’s a fantastic spot, especially if you visit during quieter hours.

This was one of the most disappointing restaurant experiences I’ve had, especially considering it was for an important business lunch.
Last Friday, my wife invited her business partner to North Italia to make a good impression. After they arrived, they waited to be seated and were guided to a table by the host. They sat down and began reviewing the menu. A few minutes later, the host came back and asked them to leave the table, saying there was a mistake with the reservation. This was embarrassing, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable, especially during a business meeting.
The service did not improve after that. While we were still eating and talking, the waitress repeatedly came to the table to clear plates. She picked up dishes without even asking, which made us feel rushed and uncomfortable. It was distracting and disrespectful, especially since this was a business conversation.
What made it worse was that the restaurant was not full. There were several empty tables, and only a few people waiting. There was no reason for us to feel pushed out or ignored.
Despite the poor service, I still left a generous tip. My guest even told me I should not tip at all because of how bad the service was.
At the end of the meeting, my guests even said they would remember this experience the next time we meet in Houston or choose a steakhouse instead. That is not the impression anyone wants to leave after a business lunch.
Overall, the experience was embarrassing, frustrating, and very disappointing. I expected much better from a restaurant like North Italia, especially for a professional setting. I will think twice before coming back or recommending it to others.

Kyla P was my server and she was excellent! So attentive and kind. Made my boring dinner alone a little more cheery. The bolognese was fantastic as well as the chocolate cake! I’ll be back on my next trip to Irvine
