    Tortellini
    Betty G.

    We had Borja's Italian catering for lunch today. The two salads were fresh and good. I like the balsamic dressing. We also had the meatballs, tortellini, lasagna with meat, eggplant lasagna, and tons of garlic bread. Everything was good.

    Wings
    Raquel H.

    Over all food was ok. I did get it delivered so I'm not sure if it is best when you eat it there. The pizza was good, but the dough was a little undercooked. The wings had great flavor but I asked for them to be extra crispy and they were not. Overall it was good and I would probably come back to try them at the location instead of delivery

    Amazing food! The customer service is exceptional and they have the Best penne à la vodka I've had anywhere. It was so good everyone kept picking off of my plate

    Overall, my family likes the food here but there is room for improvement. When we arrived we were concerned that it was closed because no one was there. Everyone who came in picked up their food then left so this place is known for pickup and delivery and not sit down dining. Clean restaurant and bathroom. pizza - good but dough was a bit tough and dense. pricey for the size. spaghetti- slightly too tangy but edible. consider adding basil or garlic or onions. free cheesy bread- hard and stale (sprinkle water and reheat to soften the bread.) service - friendly and attentive vegetarian - not a lot of healthy options but there was pizza and fried eggplant and spaghetti. fried breaded eggplant got soggy after awhile and didn't have much flavor. Please ask if people want cheese on top or not in case some people don't want cheese. The menu didn't specify the list of ingredients so people with allergies will need to be aware of this.

    Ambience is comfy. We've been here 3x now since we've found it, it's a staple, we've came here during closing before 10pm when we're craving pasta, always comes with a garlic bread and we ordered for pick up only through call/doordash when they have a deal, though I'd recommend calling in, haven't dined in the place yet but looking forward to when we'll be around the area during day time. It's all indoor dining and heard they might get their alcohol license. Caesar is nice and accommodating and the other workers too. 10/10 for the food, the pics don't give it justice since it's been 4 hours since we got the food and just about to have it although the flavor never disappoints. Would recommend this place

    That's the place so you don't miss it!

    I am an Italian food junky. So WOW! Found this GEM in an industrial park. This is where the working folk eat and ohhh my! Beautifully fresh and colorful lunch salad, fantastic spaghetti portions that had gorgeous meat sauces. Extremely friendly and helpful staff with superb customer service. Table kept fully supplied and cleaned throughout the experience. 10 STARS!

    Fettuccine Alfredo

    No flavor and ridiculously watered down. really disappointing to be excited to try a new place and be let down.

    This place is open on weekends in an industrial complex. It must be good, how else would they stay in business?!?!? On Sunday, there is parking everywhere. No alcohol is served here. When ordering, we asked what was good and the woman said, with conviction, 'Everything'. We ordered the Angel a La Checa (with chicken added) and Chicken Parmesan. Bread comes with the meal. Both are very good and excellent for the price. We used our Entertainment Book which had a buy one, get one coupon. With the Entertainment Book and Yelp, you can find hidden treasures and this is one of them.

    Chicken Carbonara
    Daniella P.

    A hidden gem nestled in a business plaza in Irvine. My friend introduced the place to me and it might be a new favorite spot. We went around 5pm and there wasn't a lot of people in there because they mostly do to-go orders. The owner helped us out and was very on top of it. He gave us our waters and bread right as we sat down. I ordered the Chicken Carbonara and it genuinely hit the spot. The portion was big, at a great price. Not to mention that it tasted amazing and the sauce was super creamy. Will definitely come back again!

    Pesto Rigatoni
    Trevor T.

    Small restaurant located in the business district. Staff is nice, food tastes good, and portions are also good for the price.

I went to dinner with a date and sat at the bar feeling completely safe. Within 5 minutes, the manager Tim (along with a silent individual) approached me and asked to speak with me outside where he asked me to leave the property. I explained to him the I received an apology and an invite to come back from NI on Yelp. He claimed that the response was a corp form letter response and there was no intent behind the words. I don't know who I'm more embarrassed for, me or Tim the manager at North italia. I explained to him that the apology and the invite was very customized because it identified exactly what I had to eat that evening. His response was for me to leave the premises, which I did. You can decide whether to patronage this type of organization which practices strategic schizophrenia. I have since identified an exciting authentic Italian place in Costa Mesa (Red Room). Ask for Dominico (the owner). I guarantee you he'll ensure that you have a wonderful experience. Oh, and no extra charge for serving the food hot.

Parking is easy with the validated structure, and the restaurant's location is beautiful. We were seated right away and placed our drink and food orders. We ordered several appetizers and entrées -- our usual favorites are the calamari, Caesar salad, rigatoni alla vodka, and spaghetti with marinara. Their bread is always delicious. The calamari and salad arrived promptly; the salad was great, but the calamari was only warm and not as crispy as we had requested. Unfortunately, things slipped a bit after that. Our entrées took a very long time to arrive, and only two pastas were brought out -- one of which was the wrong dish. When the manager came by, I clarified what we had ordered and let him know we were still missing a pasta. The remaining dishes eventually arrived and were delicious, but by then the first two people were nearly done eating.

The extraordinary thing about the Pasta Sisters is that they offer house made pastas, which guarantees a higher price point, but offers unparalleled texture. The spaghetti has a "bite" that you get from a true "al dente" pasta. Their cheese tortellini were incredibly rich and cheesy, but a touch salty. The drawback of this location is that it's a ghost kitchen. You order it online and the order will be ready for you when you come in to pick it up. The location does not have seating, and you eat it at your own convenience. If you live/work locally, then this can be definitely worth checking out. Because I live out of town, I have to enjoy it either in my car, after a long drive home, or at my wife's office; however, I want to enjoy these $20 pastas in a restaurant, with wine and good company. A ghost kitchen is very different than a restaurant experience. I hope they do choose to bring their restaurant to the OC one day.
