Bolognese
Micayla N.

This a cute Italian-Korean restaurant located in The Source! We came at around 7pm on a Friday and got seated right away. They have a lot of seating both inside and on the outside patio. Service was very attentive and friendly. The meal starts with complimentary bread that is similar to pita bread served with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. We ordered a caesar salad, shrimp rose pasta, and bolognese. The shrimp rose pasta was our favorite with such a creamy and flavorful sauce and perfectly cooked shrimp, and we could see why it's popular here! We thought the bolognese sauce was really sweet, which was unexpected, and that dish ended up being our least favorite.

This is a cute little restaurant. We got seated quickly on a Saturday brunch/lunch time. They were incredibly kind to our toddler as well though he made a huge mess! The food was good and easily shareable. I thought the portions sizes were fair as well. The arugula smoked salmon salad was lovely and a great shareable dish. The funghi pizza was also yummy but I wish the crust was a tad more crunchy. The lemon butter shrimp was probably my favorite thing since it was the most favorable. The calamari was standard~ The free bread the beginning was piping hot and great! Just fyi... The bathroom doesn't have a changing table or any surface to change babies.

Complimentary bread and sauce (balsamic vinegar and olive oil)

Interior felt kind of quiet but there's a slight buzz. I've seen many families dine here with their children. Family friendly restaurant. There are booster seats available. Margarita pizza: So good, the marina sauce was rich, flavorful and light on the pizza. Cheese was light and gooey to the touch. The crust didn't fall down. Calamari: Breading was crispy and light in batter. Calamari was more bouncy than soft. Tip: If you want to dine indoors around 5-6 PM there is option to sign yourself up on the yelp waitlist on your phone before arriving here. However wait time to get seated took about 10 mins tops. I think if you want to sit in the outdoor patio you might need to call in for a reservation.

Shrimp Carbonara pasta

A while back, my family & I came here to celebrate my mom's birthday. We really enjoyed the food. The complimentary bread w/ the vinegar dipping sauce is delicious! Everything we ordered was well-made & flavorful. My main criticism is the service on busier days. The food can take quite a while to come out. The staff is kind, but could be slightly more attentive on busier days, as it can be harder to flag them down for help. I've also ordered takeout a few times & they're more timely, usually having it ready within 30 minutes. The dining area has a nice atmosphere, clean modern look but the bathrooms don't match quite match. Being a lady, I personally prefer a cleaner bathroom however it is accessible & that's all you really need for a restaurant. Overall, I'd recommend the food, especially the bread & dipping sauce.

Korean-Italian fusion food is bomb! Located inside the source on the top floor with a nice balcony for a nice view of the blue sky. The interior design is a vibe and very modern. I like how they implemented marble to some of their furniture like the bar table and the pillars. We got two pasta, wine, and free complimentary bread. Yeah, I know it's very carby, but the flavor profile is all there. The Rose pasta was my favorite because it had a nice touch of creaminess and savoriness. The bread that kinda looks like a Naan is fluffy and soft on to chew on. Doesn't hurt your jaw like most crispy bread. The wine was okay, I forgot the brand, but it was too dry and not bold enough for our palate. Still a good cleanse for each bite of the noodles. If you got a date night, or wanna take your family here, It's totally worth it! My girl and I had a good time vibing and munching, lol.

You be caught off guard seeing an Italian Restaurant in the Source, but don't be mistaken as their food is delicious. I will say to some their portions may be on the smaller side, but to me their portions are just the right size. They have both inside and outdoor seating which both are comfortable. Their employees are helpful and are always present if you are in need of assistance.

Bread
Sam M.

Came here for lunch for the first time and loved this place! Great spot for Italian! We got their calamari, cheese pizza, shrimp rose pasta, funghi pizza, and chicken Alfredo! Their shrimp rose pasta and funghi pizza was our favorite! Place is nice and clean and workers are very professional! It is a little pricey though! Great place to eat here in the source!

funghi pizza
Ellen K.

Beautifully decorated Italian place in the center for the Source Mall! We were sad that they didn't have their Seafood Salad when we went, but all of the other dishes were very rich and delicious. My favorite was the funghi pizza! Portions are moderately sized, and the bread is a nice flatbread style.

Complimentary bread--love!
Eunhae H.

I'm a big pan of a pizza dough that has a nice, chewy texture. And I love pink sauces for my pastas. This place does them both for me! Il Fiora is on the top floor at the Source Mall. They have a beautiful outside seating and pretty indoor seating. I usually see people reserving the outside area for a special event (bridal shower, graduation party, etc.). My all-time favorite items to get here are the Gamberetto Rosa/Shrimp Pasta, Carbonara, and Funghi Pizza. When you order an entree, you get their complimentary fluffy, airy bread which is the same dough used for their pizzas. I've also tried the Il Fiora Cioppino, Gorgonzola Pizza (which comes with honey), Spicy & Honey Pizza (has pepperoni, jalapeño, and honey) and the Bistecca Di Controfiolletto (USDA Prime Rib-eye). Service here is great! You order through their tablet, or if assistance is needed, a server helps take the order. When you're craving a rose (pink sauce) pasta in the OC area, and want to walk around and sightsee/shop, this place is the spot!

Carbonara 10/10 *add the shrimp*
Chrystina B.

WOW. I AM SPEECHLESS. THE FOOD IS INCREDIBLE! Although I'm not from around here, some of my colleagues are locals and were looking to have a little work gathering with pasta. Food: 5/5 I just want to say I am NOT a pasta girl, so keep that in mind. I tried the carbonara with shrimp, and oh my goodness. It was truly fantastic! The sauce was rich, the noodles were cooked to perfection, and that homemade bread! Oh my goodness! It was a 10. Service: 5/5 The staff is incredibly friendly, the ambiance is lovely, and I definitely intend to return. All around: I give this place a solid 10. The only con would be finding the place, LOL. It's on the third floor and it can be a bit confusing. However-After the small workout, the pasta ends up being guilt free!!!!

Nance R.

Second time at Il Fiora in Buena Park, and we came back for one reason--the carbonara. It's surprisingly hard to find a spot that serves it with the egg yolk on top, so having a place nearby that does it right keeps us coming back. Still just as good as we remembered. We also shared a margherita pizza, which was delicious, and ended up with plenty of leftovers (always a win). Paired everything with a nice Pinot Noir, and it made for a great meal overall. We did come pretty close to closing time, so service wasn't quite as strong as the first visit--but it also wasn't very busy, so it seemed like they were just wrapping up for the night. Nothing that would stop us from coming back though. The food definitely holds up, and we'll be back again.

Gorgonzola pizza with honey
Ana C.

Came here for a girls' night and it ended up being such a sweet, cozy experience. We were seated by a window which gave the whole evening a whimsical, slightly romantic vibe -- perfect for catching up with friends. We ordered the Gorgonzola pizza, Pomodoro pasta, and garlic mushroom risotto to share. The pizza was beautifully balanced with the richness of the cheese and a light drizzle of warm honey that tied everything together. The Pomodoro pasta was generously mixed with seafood and the noodles were perfectly al dente. The garlic risotto was creamy and comforting, loaded with mushrooms and plenty of garlic flavor. Service was warm and attentive without hovering -- they checked in just enough while still letting us enjoy our conversation. Great food, thoughtful service, and a cozy ambiance made it a really lovely night. Definitely a spot I'd come back to for another dinner with friends.

Ravioli crema
Kirsten S.

Restaurant is located on the 4th floor. Parking garage is free but was busy at 6:30pm on a Friday night No wait for 4 people Server was super sweet but she wasn't super attentive but she also had many tables to serve so I felt bad for her and wasn't her fault. We had to wave her doe multiple times for refills of our drinks, she forgot our Parmesan cheese too Food came out relatively fast Food was 4/5 stars. Pizzas were medium sized. Nothing special. Crusts were thin. Pastas were flavorful. They didn't have ravioli bolognese or the other red sauce available. Ambiance inside and outside was really nice and new and modern and clean I probably wouldn't come back here

Late reveiw. My wife and I dined here last night. It was our second visit in 5 weeks. We enjoyed…read moreour previous dining experience and wanted to return and order some other menu items that piqued our interest. First off, their complimentary bread with the ricotta and marinara spread is totally original and delicious. I've never experienced that from any Italian restaurant I've been to before. My wife ordered the Cannelloni Fiorentina. She treated me to a bite and it was hands down superb with the ground veal, pork, beef, spinach, and parmegiano filling, topped with a Bolognese and touch of Besciamella sauce. I odered the Veal Parmegiano and it was the best one I have ever had. My wife sampled it and agreed. The veal they use was so tender and a very proper portion. We make this at home and thought ours was the best, but this one just blew us away. We ended with their mom's homemade lemon cake that includes a scoop of vanilla ice cream and dollop of whipped cream on top. It was light and refreshing. Our server (Joey) was excellent and very accommodating. He explained everything in detail and kept the beverages filled. We found out he is part of the family of this fine family business. He is very passionate about their restaurant and it shows. The white linen tablecloths and darker interior setting made for a nice feel and ambiance. I think this is our new favorite local Italian family owned restaurant and we will be frequenting here more often.

Appetizers…read more Bruschetta The bruschetta was one of my favorite dishes of the night. As someone who loves bread, I really enjoyed the texture. The bread was lightly toasted and crunchy without being dry, and the fresh parmesan added a creamy texture that paired well with the tomatoes. I personally don't like olives, but they didn't take away from the overall flavor. Everything was fresh, and the balance between the bread, parmesan , and tomatoes was excellent. It was a simple appetizer done right, and I would definitely recommend ordering it. Scampi al Limone The Scampi al Limone was another standout. The shrimp were cooked perfectly, and the sauce was creamy, flavorful, and well balanced. I would personally add a little more lemon for extra acidity, but that comes down to personal preference. Despite the creamy sauce, the dish didn't feel too heavy. Both appetizers tasted fresh, and I appreciated how enjoyable they were without leaving me feeling overly full. As someone who can be sensitive to heavier meals, I had a great experience with both dishes. I would definitely recommend the Scampi al Limone. Entrées Penne Arrabbiata The Penne Arrabbiata had an excellent sauce, but the pasta itself was not my favorite. I prefer my pasta al dente, and this was softer than I would have liked. The texture felt slightly overcooked and gummy, which took away from the dish. The sauce, however, was delicious. It was creamy, rich, and pleasantly spicy, with plenty of flavor. My only issue was that it felt a little too rich for me and left my stomach feeling heavier than I would have preferred. Between the two pasta dishes, I would choose the Rotolo Bolzano. Although the Arrabbiata had a great sauce, the pasta texture and richness made it less enjoyable for me. However, if you enjoy creamy, spicy pasta, it is still worth trying. Rotolo Bolzano The Rotolo Bolzano was my preferred entrée. The portion was just right--not too much food, but enough to leave me satisfied. I also enjoyed how creamy and flavorful it was without feeling too heavy. Compared to the Penne Arrabbiata, this dish felt lighter and more enjoyable overall. I found the texture and richness much more appealing, making it the pasta I would order again. Both entrées had their strengths, but personally, I preferred the Rotolo Bolzano for its balance of flavor, texture, and portion size. Ambience & Overall Experience The restaurant had a low-lit, intimate atmosphere that I thought was perfect for a date night. It felt cozy without being overly formal, making it a great place to enjoy dinner and cocktails. One thing that surprised me was that I live only five minutes away and had never visited this restaurant before. During our visit, our server mentioned that it was a family-owned business, which made me appreciate discovering a local restaurant that has been working to build its business. The restaurant also offers a variety of alcoholic beverages, including cocktails and whiskey, making it a good option for anyone looking to enjoy drinks alongside their meal. If you're looking for an intimate Italian restaurant for a date night or simply want to support a family-owned business, I would recommend giving this place a try. Final Rating: 8/10 Overall, I had a great experience. The appetizers were my favorite part of the meal, especially the Bruschetta and Scampi al Limone. Between the two pasta dishes, I would choose the Rotolo Bolzano over the Penne Arrabbiata because I preferred its texture and how light it felt. I have been to Italian restaurants that I prefer more, but the food, atmosphere, and convenient location make this a place I would return to. Since I live nearby, I would definitely come back whenever I'm craving Italian food. It may not be my favorite Italian restaurant, but it is a great local option, especially for a date night.

I got the spaghetti with meat sauce and one meatball. It came with a garden salad and one of their famous breadsticks. It was just the right serving size for lunch.

Food came out promptly during a weekday lunch. * Good beverage menu with soft drinks, beer, wine, and flights. * Spacious dining with booths and tables, a bar, and patio seating * Live music on Thurs., Fri., and Sat. evenings (check calendar on the website), mainly jazz, pop, contemporary, and requests. * Happy Hour Mon-Fri starting at 4:30 pm * They accept reservations and offer take-out * Plenty of parking in the large lot Overall, my recent visit was pleasant and deliciously satisfying.

It was really flavorful and you could tell it had been simmered for quite a while, and the wine flavor really complimented the whole dish so well without being overpowering.

Their deli section got plenty of great selection of meats & cheeses. And their bakery part also got plenty of pastries and well know Italian cookies and individual cakes. Staff are great and friendly plus knowledgeable of what they're selling. I ended up buying several items instead of one or two. Definitely a place to go for good quality Italian ingredients to cook at home. As for the Pizza place, we got 2 types of sandwiches and lasagna. The Italian sandwich was just okey, the bread was not quite a right type for it. Just chewy outside and abit blanch of the filling. The meatballs sandwich is quite delightful, good amount of sauce and big meatball and go nicely with the sandwich. The lasagna was good but abit under seasoning, abit watering and it could used more meats. Overall it was okey place for a quick bites and easy to take away. Parking can be hectic and abit out of control since folks don't know what to do since people coming in and block cars that need to go out...another word. It's a small parking lot for In&Out. It was easy when I got there at 10:30am and the parking lot was pretty much empty (since market open early then their pizza side). When leave I have to wait for 5mins in order to get the car out since there are cars waiting right infront of my car and there are car infront and behind. There is a parking lot right across and street parking too, and I think it would be much easier then park in their lot during their busy times.

Today was almost 98 in Cerritos again. My hubby and I…read moredecided to go to North Italia during happy hour. There were so many customers this afternoon. Happy Friday!!! So busy.... I noticed happy hour menu was changed. No more margherita pizza. Only flat bread for the appetizer. Dissapointed! Our server was Jacob, he suggested us to get lunch course fixe menu $25 per person which were one appetizer w small plate, 1 entrée. They had many selections of appetizers and entrées. We chose Charcuterie, Italian crispy risotto ball called Cacio e pepe arancini as 2 appetizers. For 2 entrées, parpadelle bolonese and tie dye Margherita pizza w pesto drizzle. It was so flavorful to taste the crispy risotto balls and charcuterie w prosciutto, olive, cheese, and etc. We loved bolonese parpadelle. Give 5 stars. We ordered tie dye margherita pizza for the first time, it was not good. Very oily and ruined the original pizza taste. I asked our server to make real margherita pizza w pesto sauce on the side. Finally it came completely back to original taste. Happy day!! Sometimes the chef developed the new flavors but simple and original recipe was the best in my experience. Today we both were so happy to taste the new menu, lunch course fixe menu until 4 daily. Great price, great deal, and great taste....Great service. We were sooooo full and took entire pizza and pasta to home for next day. We really enjoyed our afternoon thanks to North Italia. Loved lunch course fixe and happy hour. Great Italian restaurant near our home is more advantage. Recommend everyone for the beers, pizzas, and pastas....awesome!
