    They Branzino fish was outstanding with charred spinach. Veggie soup was goo. they have happy hour with 1/2 price appetizers. But do know they serve bread before dinner. Will go back for that fish.

    The food was great, but our waiter did not ask us if we needed more water/drinks when we were done with the first round. I asked for a water refill several times over the dinner time, and we needed to ask for a dessert menu because it was not offered. Staff could have been more attentive, but I hope it was because our dinner was the next day after Christmas, and everything is usually slow this time.

    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!

    Gaetano's never disappoints. Food is amazing, on this trip I took a step out of my comfort zone and started with the burrata caprese and the tagliatelle with chianti braised beef for my main, and I am so glad that I did! Huge portions so I able to enjoy the following night as well. My husband had the garlic cheese bread (MUST HAVE!) and the penne alla vodka and it was equally delicious. I finished the meal with a Nutella bread pudding and YUM! We definitely will 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!
