" My experience at North Italia left much to be desired. The ambiance was nice, and the service was friendly, but the food itself was not great. The Chicken Pesto was underwhelming as it felt greasy, and my friends who tried the calamari didn’t enjoy the overly thick batter. Although I did enjoy the dessert options, my overall experience fell short of what I had hoped for. Perhaps this place is better suited for those seeking a party atmosphere rather than quiet dining. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited North Italia recently and had a great time! I chose the vegetarian pizza and was blown away by the freshness of the ingredients. The setting was cozy, making it perfect for a casual yet enjoyable dining experience. Our server was attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. I can’t wait to try their other pasta dishes next time. This is definitely going on my list of favorite Italian spots! " (*Curated Review*)

" tried North Italia on a Saturday night, which turned out to be quite the experience! The place was packed, and it felt buzzing with energy. The food choices were extensive, and we started with the crispy calamari which was made just right. My main dish, the Fungi Pizza, had a fantastic earthy flavor and the crust was just perfect! A standout was the attentive service, which really added to the overall experience. We ended with a delightful Butter Cake for dessert. Just be aware that parking can be a hassle! Still, I’ll be back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a great lunch at North Italia! Their Brunch was nothing short of spectacular. The omelettes were fluffy, and the sides complemented the meal nicely. My personal favorite was the banana coffee cake; I couldn’t get enough of it! The atmosphere was vibrant—ideal for a Sunday brunch outing. Service was attentive too, which is a huge plus. I really enjoyed my time and will be returning for sure—highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an enjoyable evening at North Italia last night. The service was cordial and attentive, which is always a bonus. I had the Fungi Pizza and a side of their garlic bread—both were tasty! The only downside was that the pizza could have had a bit more cheese, but the base was great and flavor packed. I'd recommend this place for a lively dinner but be prepared for a slightly long wait for seating, especially on weekends. Overall, a charming Italian dining experience. " (*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*)
