About North Italia

North Italia is a great addition to Birkdale Village, perfect for a date night at the bar, lunch with a friend, or a big group celebration. The food is consistently delicious and overall amazing. Favorites include the spicy rigatoni, grilled bread, little gem caesar, pizza with a nice kick and delicious dough, the chicken parm sandwich, and lasagna soup. The meatballs are tender and served with sauce and ricotta cheese, a lovely combination. The arancini is delicate and flavorful, with a deep fried outside and melty cheese inside. The lasagna is a novel take on a classic, constructed with cheese, sauce, short ribs, and sausage. The strozzapreti is also fantastic, with chicken, spinach, mushroom, and a parm cream broth. The bolognese was found to be a little bland by one diner, and the white truffle garlic bread was too hard. The nonalcoholic drinks are good but a little too sweet. For lunch, they have several options for an appetizer and entree special which are totally worth it.

Service experiences vary. Some servers are described as extraordinary, going above and beyond, very attentive, kind, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu and brunch cocktails. They make amazing recommendations. However, there can be downsides. One visit experienced slow service where entrees arrived at different times and a salad was forgotten, though it was quickly corrected. Another table had a wait before being greeted, though the bartender stepped in to help. Overall, the food is excellent and the experience is great, making it a spot worth visiting for a delicious meal.
