Best pasta dishes in town? Possibly. Best service? Very high on the list I prefer the Del Mar location, but if you like malls, then this location is nice.

Extremely disappointing experience. We ordered multiple pasta dishes, and all of them were very bland. The wait time was also unreasonably slow and there were barely any customers. I understand being busy, but this felt excessive for how empty the restaurant was.
The worst part, however, completely ruined our meal. While eating pizza, I noticed a thick short strand of hair (looked like a pubic hair) embedded in the crust (the outer edge where you hold the slice). When my mom politely brought it up to a waiter, he looked at it for a moment and then swept it off the table without any real explanation or apology. He then asked rudely if we wanted a free pizza.
The way this was handled was incredibly uncomfortable and dismissive. It genuinely upset my mom and ruined what was supposed to be a special mother-daughter outing. We completely lost our appetite and could not continue eating.
The only positive was the tiramisu, which was genuinely delicious. Unfortunately, one good dessert does not make up for poor food quality, slow service, and such an unprofessional response to a serious hygiene issue.

Always come to this location love the quality of food and drinks here than the one in one paseo. Seasonal salad and ciao belle were great!
Chicken pesto pasta. AMAZING! Thank you for the kindness and quick but not rushed service!

Really enjoyed coming to North Italia for their restaurant week menu. Service was attentive and even though there was a miscommunication about the mushroom side dish we ordered that got delayed, they did the right thing and comped the dish without being asked. The portion sizes were ample and almost everything was delicious. My favorite was the arancini. But also had a great salmon dish on top of a perfectly al-dente small pasta. We also tried a butternut squash on polenta side that was great! The desserts were good but not amazing. Also wasn't super impressed with the arugula avocado salad. It was fine but the flavor combination wasn't doing much for me or my wife. Overall, we really enjoyed North Italia and will go again.

My friends and I visited recently for their Restaurant Week Dinner Menu (3 courses for $50). We ordered the cesar salad, fried eggplant, and meatballs for the appetizers. Our entrees were the spicy vodka pasta, bolognese, and chicken pesto. Then, we ordered one tiramisu and two of the chocolate toffee pudding for dessert. Amazing service despite it being pretty busy. We sat outside so it was a bit cold, but the outside heaters are great if you're sitting underneath one. We ordered the garlic bread even though it wasn't included in the appetizer options for the three course meal (it's our must-have 10/10 recommend). We always enjoy visiting North Italia and this was another great experience.

Always a great time at North Italia. The cocktails and food was delicious, as always, the zucca chips are always a must. Our server, I don't remember her name (sorry!) but she was so sweet and made the experience even better. I love coming here for a nice dinner, the perfect spot for catching up with great friends with great food and drinks. We'll definitely be back! (:

We have eaten here many times but this was not a good experience. It was a Friday night and busy so I didn't expect great service. Drinks took a long time. Food came and mine was awful. Pasta had no flavor and server said it normally didn't look like that and had more sauce. I asked for another pasta and she nicely obliged. It came 30 minutes later but they realized it was wrong and she apologized and said they would rush it. By this time the chicken was completely cold and when the pasta finally arrived it too was awful. My friend said it smelled like wet dog. I took one bite and couldn't eat it. My friend's meal was good so I was unlucky tonight with my selections. Disappointed the manager never came and addressed it. Find the food here is hit or miss.
Over priced not that great food
