Great experience as always. Caesar provided fantastic and attentive service. The food was reliably delicious. The only slight drawback is the noise level which I would describe as overly lively. Patrons and staff were all trying to talk over the music. Perhaps a notch down on music to just make it lively. Thanks, North Italia.

Excellent service, and food was pretty good as it always is here. In fact, their fresh bread on the table is even more hot and delicious than I remember. Pasta is always good here, and the seasonal butternut squash ravioli was absolutely delicious. The veal Marsala special was quite good, too. Though we were too full for dessert, maggiano’s tiramisu is always excellent and this time the slice of chocolate cake looked absolutely like a guilty pleasure but we were trying to watch our intake of sweets.
