" What a delightful experience! My husband and I visited for our anniversary, and the service was impeccable. We shared a couple of appetizers before diving into our main courses. The hot honey prosciutto pizza was a highlight—perfectly balanced in flavor. Although it was quite busy, our server managed the room well and ensured we were taken care of. I'd gladly come again, especially to try out their dessert offerings next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" We celebrated my birthday at North Italia, and I couldn’t have asked for a better evening. The staff went above and beyond to make it special. I ordered the lobster ravioli, which was out of this world! The blend of flavors was incredible, and the portion was just right. Top it off with a rich dessert, and I was in heaven. The only downside was the noise level; it was pretty lively and hard to have a conversation. But overall, an excellent dining experience I would recommend to anyone! " (*Curated Review*)

" While my experience at North Italia was mostly positive, I did encounter a few hiccups. The waiter was friendly but forgetful, leading to delays in service. I ordered the tropicalla pizza, which fell a bit flat in terms of flavor compared to what I expected. However, the dessert was absolutely delicious, and the ambiance of the restaurant is wonderful for gatherings. I think it deserves another try! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried North Italia after hearing rave reviews, and I must say, it lived up to the hype! The ambiance is inviting, perfect for a casual night out. We ordered the kale salad and the squid ink pasta, both of which were fresh and full of flavor. My only critique would be the portion size; I expected a little more for the price. However, the service was outstanding, and I left feeling satisfied. I will return to explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dined here last night and loved it! Their caesar salad was one of the best I've had, and the chicken was juicy and tender. However, I did find the entrees a tad overpriced for the size. The waitstaff was fantastic and offered great recommendations! Will certainly be back for another meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place never disappoints! I love the feeling when I walk in; it's always buzzing and lively. Their calamari fritti is a must-have! I typically order the pepperoni pizza, as it’s one of my favorites, but I tried their seasonal dish this time—the seafood risotto, which was delightful! The balance of flavors was on point. Can’t wait to go back for more culinary adventures here. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a wonderful dinner at North Italia yesterday! The service was superb, and the dishes were carefully crafted with a touch of authenticity. I particularly enjoyed the meat dish I ordered, as it brought back fond memories of dining in Italy. However, the drink menu wasn’t particularly exciting. Overall, an enjoyable outing!
