    I had been wanting to try North for a while and my son and I were craving pasta so we decided to give it a try. Once seated we were greeted fairly quickly and gave our drink order. By the time the server returned my husband had joined us and ordered a glass of wine and the calamari to start. About 5 minutes later she brought him an empty wine glass and several minutes later another server came with the wine. Not sure why this was a two step process. When it was time to order I inquired about their gluten free pasta and was told they were all out of gluten free pasta. Seeing as how this is why we came I was already disappointed. While I looked over the menu again I told my son and husband to go ahead and place their orders. My son asked for the tortellini and she says, oh yeah we're out of that too. Seriously? He ended just getting a pizza, my husband ordered chicken parmesan and I got the barramundi. The calamari came and it was very heavily breaded. So much so that the pieces were all clumped together. While my husband and son said it was good it wasn't too pleasing to the eye. It took a good 30 minutes for our entrees to arrive. Pizza looked good, but my son barely ate one piece he didn't like it. My husband gave him his side of pasta which he said was pretty good. The chicken parmesan was good but also heavily breaded. My fish was tasty but the portion very small. The filet was narrow and extremely thin with a few cut up fingerling potatoes, 2 slices of fennel and 2 small broccoli rabe. Definitely not worth $35. The kitchen is open and we could see the servers hanging out eating and chatting which would explain the super slow service. All in all, not impressed and don't think I'd bother to return even if they did have gluten free pasta on hand. I'll stick to Amalfi Cucina, great gluten free pasta, excellent pizza and attentive staff.

    I visit this location fairly often and always good. It was a busy night so minor tweaks needed but staff always helpful and courteous to resolve. I’ll still return of course. 👍🏻

    Food was good. It needs some improvement on table locations due to noise level and being next to the staff swinging door with a view of the kitchen window

    I had high expectations for North Italia in Del Mar, but unfortunately, my experience was incredibly disappointing. We arrived and were seated at 8:45 PM. Despite the restaurant not being busy at that late hour, no one came to our table for over 20 minutes. I eventually had to walk up and speak to the manager to get any attention. They assigned a waiter to our table after my complaint, but the service continued to be horrendous. It took over an hour from the time we were seated to finally get our food. While they did comp our appetizer, it didn't make up for the painfully slow service or the lack of attentiveness. Even after addressing the issue with the manager, the service did not improve. If you’re looking for a relaxing and enjoyable dining experience, I’d recommend looking elsewhere. It’s disappointing because the restaurant has potential, but service this poor completely ruins the experience.

    Fabulous lunch. Food was hot and delicious, all my "exception" requests were met. Our waitress was knowledgeable about the menu and delightful. My only complaint was that it was a bit cold inside--door was open. But that's it. Can't wait to go again!
