I went with a friend who had never been to North Italia. Despite their rather recent opening, everything went smoothly. Our meal was delicious, service was terrific and a very minor hiccup was corrected before we even realized it had happened. I highly recommend this restaurant.

I went to North Italia last night with my family. This was our first time going there. We got there and the waitress asked for our drink orders first. After like 20 minutes she came back with our waters and then didn’t show up until maybe 30 minutes or so after only because we asked someone else where she was and that we were ready to order. We barely saw her through our time there. And it’s not like the restaurant was that busy at that time. I wish they had better service because the food is good. Maybe there was more than 6 of us and she probably thought gratuity will automatically be added anyways. Idk, maybe we will come back and try again and see if they can redeem themselves.

I've enjoyed North Italia in general at the El Segundo location, it has a fantastic ambiance, big grand room, good food and great for groups. This location was just OK, food was good, drinks were flowing and we had a nice time (group of 8). SIde note: they have a 20ft mural of a girl with glasses and a snapback that looks like it came from a taco shop in East LA. Just seemed so out of place? I don't get it - wouldn't stop me from visiting again, just seemed funny.

Overall great experience but some pastas with sausages and pizza with are very salty. But that’s just my opinion. Their daily soups are good. And the staff there are wonderful. I really enjoy the atmosphere

After a movie, we decided to try the new North Italia at Los Cerritos. We had enjoyed dining at the Irvine location in the past. Our party of four had the opportunity to taste a number of menu items. Everything was very good. We started with the prosciutto pizza as an appetizer for the table. Delicious. My wife and I shared the Caesar salad next; very fresh and tasty. For entrees, she loved the tortelloni Al Pomodoro and I had the pork Milanese. It was very good. Our friends also enjoyed the salmon and bolognese. For dessert, we shared the brookie gelato sundae. It was more than enough for the four of us. We just dumped it all onto a plate and dug in. Our server Allison was amazing. She made excellent recommendations and checked in with us frequently. If you’re in the Cerritos area, try North Italia.
