We ordered the shrimp scampi, and it was absolutely delicious! The pasta was just as tasty—the hot honey really complements the spicy kick.

Really struggling with a half full dining room to get orders out today. 1 hr after ordering food still not here. Looks like kitchen is way understaffed...manager and wait staff are clearly under stress...too bad used to be a nice place to grab lunch....now seems to be struggling...

North has been on my list to try for a while. I have to say I was very disappointed in the food. For apps we orders the meatballs and the bread (the menu doesn’t tell you it comes with a balsamic glaze but it was saturated so if you don’t want it make sue you mention that). We ordered spaghetti with butter and cheese pizza for the grandkids. The adults ordered lasagna, sausage and rigatoni in spicy vodka sauce, shrimp Scampi app with side salad. All do the food lacked flavor and was mediocre at best. It was a Friday night so I’m not sure why the food wasn’t good but… the sauce was excessively creamy almost inedible. The meatballs were too salty and lukewarm inside (give it’s a scratch kitchen I was expecting everything to be served hot). The bread (not pictured) was awful!! We requested time done without the glaze and it was too dry to eat. In hind sight I should have complained and had it taken off the bill as none of us ate it. (I also have a bias towards any restaurant charging for bread these days but if they do it needs to be exceptional!). The lasagna was very scarce in any “meat.” My grandson who loves. Cheese pizza said he did not enjoy the pizza at all. The salad was good and the scampi was served hot but the flavors were average. Service was average. We all left very disappointed.

Visited North Italia for the first time to celebrate a friends graduation. I was excited to try it out for the first time, but I guess my expectations were too high. I ordered the spicy vodka pasta, and it was mediocre. There was noooo flavor :( The waitress offered if I wanted it to have no spice and I agreed. It literally came back spicy. My friend got the pesto pasta and she also said it was mid. Not much flavor to both of these dishes to the point where we asked for salt and it didn’t even make it better. The service was great though! Our waitress was both attentive and friendly. I put 4 stars for atmosphere because I think it was too loud in the restaurant. We did go on a Friday night so it’s understandable but it’s a factor I wanted to mention.

The Yellowtail Crudo was great! The Squid Ink Tonnarelli was different but also a solid 9/10; it was spicy, well prepared and definitely worth trying.

I love going to eat at this location, but every time I order things to go, they are made incorrectly. 2x now they have forgotten a whole entrée or appetizer. Their response is that we can drive back over to get it replaced. I’m not sure why the orders are made wrong when it’s “to go” versus when you order in person. The price is the same and it’s not a cheap restaurant so I would think they would have the to go orders figured out.

My review is from my personal experience. When I first sat down, the lighting was so low I had to use my phone just to read the menu. The fake candle in the cup didn’t help at all, and it gave me a rough first impression.
Credit where it’s due — Alina(sorry if I spelled her name wrong) was smooth, cordial, and genuinely personable. She carried the experience with real professionalism.
The food was the highlight. My bolognese was excellent, and my date’s short rib marsala was prepared perfectly. The kitchen absolutely delivered.
But the atmosphere still drags things down. Certain tables desperately need more lighting. It’s a small fix that would transform the entire first impression.
Overall, I’ll give the restaurant 4 stars. This could easily be a 4.5 or even a 5 if they dial in the lighting and elevate the ambience in key areas.
The servers are below average to average. The food is definitely good. The kitchen is just far too slow.
( i did not mean to say The issue was with the actual servers they have done a great job. The service is what I should've said is in question because the kitchen is so slow.)
We spend almost 3 hours there every time we come to eat.
this past Sunday, we sat down at 1:15 and we didn't leave till almost 3:45.

I was expecting more. We ordered the short rib lasagna and ricotta cavatelli. Everything. Was good enough. Not as much flavor as I'd hoped. The shrimp in the cavatelli was overdone. My pomegranate mule was delicious. I will go back to try other things though.

First time customers. Damion provided us an outstanding service, the food and atmosphere was great. I had the short rib marsala and it was like something grandma would make.

Food was very underwhelming. With a party of 6, we all walked away disappointed in some aspect of our meal. The spicy meal weren’t spicy, pizzas were overcooked, pasta sauce was thin and watery. Service was a positive but not enough for us to return.
