Best Cozy Restaurants in Herndon

Food is delicious comfort food like meatballs, cacio e pepe arancini, spicy risotto with Italian sausage, and delicious pizzas. We have never had a dish we didn’t love. The service is always impeccable, friendly and efficient. When we told our server that one of our party had a shellfish allergy, a manager came out and told us which items might be unsafe because they were cooked in the same oil as the calamari. This was such an important thing to do and we’ve never had that happen anywhere else. I highly recommend North Italia!

I would go back again. Everything was wonderful, the pesto sauce was a little runny and didn’t have much flavor, but maybe that was because they were overbooked on Valentine’s Day. I’m going to go again to see if it’s different on a regular dinner night. I definitely like the staff. 

We had a wonderful Valentine's Day lunch here this week. We took advantage of the Valentine's Day menu which allowed us to try some pisco flights, two apps, an entree, and two desserts. All of them, from the ceviche, to the croquettes, to the lomo saltado were amazing. The service was just as good. We had a great (first) experience and will definitely be back.

This was our second vsiit and we had another great dining experience, the service and food was great! We ordered the focaccia, burrata, baked shrimp, and short rib and loved each dish. The drinks were great as well. We visited the day before Valentine's Day and they had this strawberry pistachio dessert that was so good. I am not a dessert person so that says a lot. Overall, would highly recommend. Great restaurant, speakeasy vibes, very loungey and dim atmosphere. We will be back again!

Server was the best. The 4 of us loved our meals and had beignets for dessert. They were absolutely delicious. Pleasant night with good friends!
