    Once again North Italia knocks the experience out of the park. Everything was absolutely fantastic. Our server made the experience that much better. The entrees, appetizers, and the Merlot me and my fabulous date had was absolutely amazing. Definitely a must to have North Italia in your rotation of restaurants you typically visit.

    I took my kids for my birthday and they both loved it. Alberto was our server and he did a good job taking care of us. We all loved the food though it was a little pricier than advertised. Two of us ordered shrimp diavolo which was fine but you had to order any pasta with it as an extra item or the portion would have been really small. We ordered half a pasta serving and that was at least a decent meal but that meant extra money. The ambiance was nice and it wasn't too loud. I did get a free dessert since it was my birthday which was nice. There was a large selection of wine available and you could get a wine club membership for a monthly fee. We all had dessert and those were actually rather large sized items that were quite filling and tasted delicious.

    A Hidden Gem for Families! We recently visited this family-owned restaurant, and I must say, it exceeded our expectations. The staff was welcoming from the moment we stepped in, and Britney was truly outstanding. The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. My husband, a self-proclaimed food critic, couldn’t stop raving about the dishes. If you’re looking for a place where excellent service meets a family-friendly atmosphere, this is it. Thank you, Britney, and the whole team for a memorable dining experience. We’ll definitely be back! I recommend the calamari, muscles, chicken piccata, salmon and expresso martini.
