My second time here. I particularly love this place because I can get foul here! I don’t live any where near the restaurant, but I have been waiting patiently to come here again. I enjoyed it even more the second time! I highly recommend this place. So good!

I went with a friend who had never been to North Italia. Despite their rather recent opening, everything went smoothly. Our meal was delicious, service was terrific and a very minor hiccup was corrected before we even realized it had happened. I highly recommend this restaurant.

We had a party of 6. We made a reservation last minute, and they were able to accommodate us. We were seated right away, and the service was great! The tableside guacamole was 10/10. The rib-eye tacos were fantastic, and everyone enjoyed what they got. The fried ice cream is a must try. Can't wait to go back from that guacamole!!
