    We loved our dinner and will definitely go back. The pineapple ham pizza (which our table shared) was delicious. The pumpkin Mac and Cheese, which I thought sounded weird, was off the charts excellent. Service, top-notch. Cioppino had a bite and, to my taste, was a little too salty. But my friend who ordered it loved it. Atmosphere --- great. Very loud, however. With nothing to absorb sound, the music should be quieter.

    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!
