    My family and I had an amazing Christmas Eve dinner at North Italia, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience. The service was outstanding—our server, Blake, truly went above and beyond to make the evening feel special. The food was incredible! The bolognese was rich, flavorful, and perfectly executed—a definite highlight for me. My sister, who usually avoids pasta, absolutely loved the ricotta cavatelli. It was creamy, delicious, and a standout dish that surprised her in the best way. The warm atmosphere, attentive service, and fantastic food made for a memorable evening. I would highly recommend North Italia for any special occasion or just a great meal out. We’ll definitely be back!

    We had a large party with a rambunctious kid, and our server helped us with such grace and humor ….and patience!! I didn’t catch her name, but initials are TD. A restaurant might have great food, but if service is great too, then you’ve got loyal and returning patrons. Thank you North Italia for providing both!
