    As always, delicious food, great wait staff, and clean environment. Only drawback, the noise level was really loud though - between the other patrons and the high music level playing on the speaker - to the point where we could hardly hear each other talking.

    My coworker asked for no mayo as she has a dietary restriction and the waiter repeated it. Food took a while as expected since we had a large party. The kitchen remade the sandwich but it wasn’t ready until our entire party was finished eating. I felt so bad that she had to take it to go and spent the entire gathering watching us eat.

    I’ve been a loyal customer at North Italia Irvine since it opened—after tonight NO more. the vibe is great, and the food is good. Service can be hit or miss depending on the day, but my biggest frustration has been with their gift card promotions. Every time I’ve purchased one, I’ve encountered issues with the balance not being accurate. Tonight, I had a $100 gift card, but when I went to use it, they claimed there was no money left. No solution was offered. This isn’t the first time—it’s the third. On a previous visit, it took multiple managers and a long wait just to resolve a similar issue. They write down the numbers of the cards. I wonder who used my funds. It’s disappointing because I enjoy the restaurant, but these repeated gift card problems make it hard to trust their system.

    My wife and I had an amazing dining experience at North Italia! The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. But what truly made the evening special was our server, Jamie. From the moment we sat down, Jamie was attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. Her recommendations were spot on, and she made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. Excellent service and a great atmosphere—I’ll definitely be coming back!

    Everything is made fresh everyday. You can really taste the difference of having your food made fresh. The Calafriti is so good and everything that we ordered. Will surely recommend this place and come back again.
