After a movie, we decided to try the new North Italia at Los Cerritos. We had enjoyed dining at the Irvine location in the past. Our party of four had the opportunity to taste a number of menu items. Everything was very good. We started with the prosciutto pizza as an appetizer for the table. Delicious. My wife and I shared the Caesar salad next; very fresh and tasty. For entrees, she loved the tortelloni Al Pomodoro and I had the pork Milanese. It was very good. Our friends also enjoyed the salmon and bolognese. For dessert, we shared the brookie gelato sundae. It was more than enough for the four of us. We just dumped it all onto a plate and dug in. Our server Allison was amazing. She made excellent recommendations and checked in with us frequently. If you’re in the Cerritos area, try North Italia.

My family and I took my dad out for his birthday. Our server Andrea was the best she was very accommodating and kind. We dropped so many things that night and she would always come to our rescue. Whoever gets to sit in her section, you will be happy with your service.

Service was amazing. Our main server was charismatic, efficient and so funny. A manager stopped by and asked if she could do anything for our children, and I asked for crayons. They unfortunately did not have any yet as they just opened, but she brought over an etch a sketch and a doodle pad. My 4 year old was over the moon! The food was impeccable as usual, but the service at this location will keep me coming back here !

I reserved a table for 2 on my birthday. The pizza was soggy and cold. The calamari and Bolognese pasta were ok. The bread needs help. The service mediocre, not very welcoming, brought to my table and 2 other tables near mine the wrong food, they need more training for sure. Even though I stated on Open Table it was my birthday, there was no acknowledgement. They just opened at this location, I hope they can better the food and service otherwise I will not return.

Growing pains of a new store. Food was great, waiter was unfamiliar with the liquor that was being served. Wanted Balvenie Caribbean cask. That’s a scotch. The server kept trying to give me a Pinot noir. I’m sure they will get better.
