We came to celebrate a Birthday party of 5. Each person in the party meals came out separately with a long wait in between. When we mentioned it to the server she said she had to ask her manager if she could take back and remake all together so we could enjoy our meals at the same time. Then the manager said that we needed to tell the server that we wanted the plates all at once. Strange! That’s something that the server should have asked us. I know that this is a new open maybe it’s due to that? Bummer as we hoped for better.

We had an exceptional dining experience at North Italia! Our group of seven came here to celebrate my grandmother’s 85th birthday while family was visiting from out of town, and it could not have been more perfect. The service from Austin was absolutely wonderful—attentive, friendly, and made us feel so welcomed on such a special occasion. The food was beyond amazing. The white truffle garlic bread and meatballs are a must-have for appetizers—absolutely delicious! For the main course, I had the chicken parmesan, which was cooked to perfection, and we finished the night with the tiramisu, a light and tasty dessert that everyone enjoyed. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it the perfect place to celebrate. My grandmother had a fantastic time and couldn’t stop raving about the experience. We will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend North Italia for both the food and the outstanding service!

The food was fantastic and only second to the service. Our server was amazing. She was on it, had great suggestions, and never let a drink go empty. The food, as always, was 10/10. If you're going around Christmas, get the pantone butter cake...it's worth the calories!

I felt like it was a bit pricey for lunch. My daughter and her friend ordered from the kids menu. In all, we ordered a kids’ cheese pizza, a kids’ spaghetti with red sauce, a meatball sandwich, two iced teas and one lemonade. With tax and a 20% tip, the total was $68. The restaurant itself is absolutely gorgeous inside! I guess that’s what we were paying for.
