Fantastic high-end authentic Italian food. Wonderful! Interior design, and staff was very attentive and very responsive. Best service I had in a long time. The food is made with quality ingredients, and tastes extremely fresh.

Lively and fun atmosphere. It can get a little loud, so not a good place for a quiet dinner. We enjoy the large and attractive patio. Food is mostly delicious, but I wouldn't recommend the super healthy salads when you're smelling all the delicious Italian dishes!

Visited for the first time last night. The service is good everyone is friendly. The food is absolutely disgusting. Ordered a spicy meatball pizza that came out cold and tasted terrible. Sent it back and ordered meatballs and they came out cold with a funny taste as well. Paid for my drink and left. Will never go back

Dined here to celebrate friends birthdays and it was a lovely experience. The food was so delicious, everything from Short rib pasta, Rigatoni Bolognese, Braised Short rib, salad, pizza with prosciutto, cheese and arugula and a couple of desserts. I didn't care so much for the Chicken Pesto, it was too creamy for my taste. But all the pasta was cooked perfectly al dente. Since it was a birthday celebration the restaurant gave dessert, red velvet with ice cream plus beignet (it was super scrumptious so I highly recommend if you love desserts). The restaurant has a lively vibe but it got a bit loud after a while, our group felt like we had to shout to talk to each other. The dining area was open concept and they also had an outdoor seating plus a bar seating/section. The staff were friendly and kind. I recommend this place especially for group events but make reservations ahead because you will possibly wait a while.Parking: Valet is available. Parking garage is nearby but you pay a lot

I don't normally write reviews, but I had to this time. Came for my first time here a couple nights ago. 1. Extremely good service by a young man named Jordan. I think that's his name, he was the host. He was very professional and friendly. We were about to leave because we were hungry and there was a 30 min wait. But I asked Jordan, and he assured me that the food was great, so we waited it out. 2. I did not expect the PASTA to be so good. I ordered a bolognese, pesto, and red sauce pasta(for dairy intolerance people) and it honestly was the best pasta I've had in a while. I didn't even expect my red pasta to come with meatballs. It was beyond 3. Amazing service from Javier. No questions asked. Explained everything. 4. Restroom area was pretty sick too. Just had to throw it in. The lighting in the restaurant was amazing and so nice at night time. Definitely coming back. Seriously, thanks Jordan. I've also recommended many of my friends to North Italia.

Love this place so much!! We go here all the time and we love the chicken Parmesan. It is the best! There is no bad dish here everything is amazing quality and great portion size. We also love the ambiance here. The banana coffee cake is INCREDIBLE. I had that Ratatouille moment. It is SO good. Highly recommend trying that and the Chicken Parmesan.

Mid food especially for price and location, the ambiance was nice and the service was good nothing bad to say but also nothing to rave about.

You really need to pay attention!I arrived at the bar at 9pm this evening by 915pm I was served a class of water. I did not ask for a drink! I then ordered my meatballs which my order was taken at 935pm yes I wasted 35 minutes of my time to order and received a simple meat ball appetizer. Then 945pm my meal arrives! Finally one of the bartenders refills my water and I was like finally someone sees me! I asked the people next to me "I'm I invisible " we laughed. But here is my response to how I was treated this evening at your place! Pay attention!

I was a little disappointed in the food. I have been here before and ordered the bolognese. It was really good, but this time, barely any meat sauce and the pasta was not cooked enough. They were busy and trying to get a waiter was pretty time consuming. Hopefully, the kitchen is more consistent next time because I want to try again.

So busy, very good pizza and the braised beef is always good. Staff members are so friendly too!

I recently dined at north italia restaurant and had the salmon. I thoroughly enjoyed the food! The flavors were amazing, and the salmon was cooked perfectly. The service was excellent, and the ambiance was lovely. I highly recommend this restaurant
