" My experience at North Italia was fairly mixed. The ambiance was absolutely on point, providing a warm and inviting environment. The service was quite swift and pleasant. However, when it came to the food, I felt disappointed. I tried the Bolognese and while promising, it lacked seasoning and richness. I would give it another try, as I heard great things about their other dishes, especially the pizzas. Maybe my next visit will offer a better impression! " (*Curated Review*)

" The first time I visited North Italia, I was thoroughly impressed by the vibe and quality of the food! We were lucky to get a table right away, and the smell of delicious Italian dishes wafting through the air made it even more enticing. My favorite was the spicy rigatoni, and the garlic bread…oh wow! It’s a must-try for anyone who loves unique flavors. The staff was polite and attentive to all our needs. Looking forward to my next visit already! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely dinner at North Italia! We ordered a spread of dishes and got to sample quite a few. The bread was fresh, and the salads were crisp. My favorite was the Beef Carpaccio—absolutely melt-in-your-mouth! I can see why their Tiramisu has such great reviews. The only issue we encountered was a delay in our main courses, but it wasn’t too bad as our waiter was really nice and checked on us. Highly recommend making reservations ahead of time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited North Italia last weekend with my family for a celebratory brunch. The ambiance was perfect with the outdoor seating, and we absolutely loved the coffee options. I ordered the ricotta cavatelli, and it was delightful! Each bite was fresh and flavorful. We also had some desserts to share, including their famous Tiramisu and Butter Cake—simply incredible! Our server was prompt and made the experience even better. Prepare for a busy crowd, but definitely worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Last weekend, I took my family to North Italia for dinner. The atmosphere was lively, which is always a good sign. We shared a variety of dishes, and I'd say the Chicken Pesto might not be as good as expected; a bit too oily for my liking. However, the appetizers like the calamari and garlic bread were perfect! Desserts were excellent as well; I highly recommend the Butter Cake! I can't wait to return, but I’ll probably stick to different mains on my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" North Italia has been a go-to spot for meals with friends for a while now. We walked in on a Wednesday evening without a reservation and were pleasantly surprised to be seated immediately. The ambiance is chic yet comfortable. I had the Short Rib Pasta, which was tender and flavorful. However, the Chicken Pesto was a little greasier than I remember. Our waiter was attentive and made some excellent wine pair recommendations. In all, a satisfying experience but I’ll stick to the pasta dishes next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, I felt pleased with my recent visit to North Italia. The vibrant atmosphere gets a solid thumbs up from me! The service was friendly but could have been a bit more attentive. I loved the Squid Ink Pasta; it was so beautifully presented and packed with flavor. The only downside was waiting quite a while for our dessert after requesting it. But honestly, it was worth the wait! The Tiramisu was so creamy and delicious. I would still recommend coming here, but arriving early is key. " (*Curated Review*)
