Carla & Christian★★★★★My son and his family took me here for a birthday dinner. It was our first time. The employees were very friendly and accommodating. Our server, Melanie?, was fantastic and had a fun personality. The menu offered a variety of choices and the drinks very extensive. Everything we ordered was delicious! They even make their own pasta!!! The comped tiramisu was nice delicious touch! I highly recommend making reservations cause it appears to be a very popular place! The vibe is very casual but the prices are not.

This is the Italian restaurant I will compare all others to.
Arash★★★★I recently visited North Italia and overall had a good experience. The vibe is great—lively, stylish, and a really nice spot to hang out with friends or for a casual date night. The standout dish for me was the cacio e pepe arancini—crispy on the outside, creamy and flavorful on the inside. Definitely a must-order. The pasta was also pretty good and well-executed. That said, the Classico plate (charcuterie board) was a bit disappointing. Nothing really stood out, and it didn’t feel worth the price. Service was okay, but our server could have been more attentive. There were a few times we had t
