    Chicken Pesto
    LaTaysia Q.

    Have been wanting to try this place for a while and was able to check it out with a gf. To start, I was completely unaware of how absolutely gorgeous the interior was decorated. It was so intimate but opening. Every little detail played a part in the overall aesthetic. We went mainly for the happy hour and believe me we were definitely happy when we left. Our server was amazing and very helpful. I had the espresso martini and the pomegranate mule. Both were absolutely excellent. Props to the bartender. I had the chicken pesto and a side of grilled asparagus. The asparagus could have been warmed a little more but were ok. I still dream about that chicken pesto. Will definitely be back for more.

    My first time here was great! I came here for their happy hour which is decent. I got a Sicilian margarita and an espresso martini which were both good. My Sunday Night Lasagna was the star of the show. I would come back for that time and time again. I got brussel sprouts to go with them but they weren't good lol. It's decorated so nicely and staff is nice. I will definitely be back!

    ​I visit Alabama once a year for business, and this time, I stopped by North Italia because I was craving some really good pizza. The restaurant had a wonderfully clean and modern interior, filled with a great mix of diners--from families to couples. ​I ordered the Margherita pizza along with the shrimp Scampi in the photo. The Margherita pizza had a perfectly chewy crust and a wonderful, healthy taste. The shrimp Scampi was also fantastic, with the garlic and olive oil pairing together beautifully. ​On top of the great food, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. It's definitely a place I want to return to. If you ever find yourself visiting Alabama, I highly recommend stopping by!

    I came here for brunch for the first time on a Sunday. I highly suggest making reservations as I did. There were five of us girls there for brunch. Our server Nichole was very attentive and gave suggestions on what we should get. They do have a holiday drink menu. I ended up getting the espresso martini with a splash of Bailey's Irish cream, and it was delicious and strong. I got the strawberries and cream French toast, which was a suggestion from our server and it was so delicious. It was on this yummy brioche bread. The strawberries were nice and fresh. The crispy potato hash was equally delicious. We were all definitely full when we walked out of there. If you haven't been there for brunch, I highly suggest you go try it.

    I recently had dinner here and thought the food was great but the food timing and service could be better. I had a reservation but it took a few minutes for the staff to find the best place for me since I was alone. But they were friendly about it and sat me down after a few minutes. My waitress was great but the timing of the food was way off. My drink came quickly but then my salad and later my entree took forever. It should not take 15-20 minutes to make a salad. Then another 15-20 minutes for my entree. They were very busy but food should not take that long. Also my empty plates sat on my table even though my waitress and other staff came by several times. Maybe only the busers take empty plates but it just seemed weird. I started with the pomegranate mule with vodka. This was very tasty. Did not get served in a copper cup but otherwise was nice. Both of my dishes had been updated for fall and were both delicious. I started with the seasonal vegetable salad. This had lots of yummy stuff in it - sweet potato, brussel sprouts, arugula, radicchio, and a few other things. Very tasty! For my entree, I had the seared scallops with risotto. There were sweet potatoes in the risotto too. Scallops were perfectly cooked. A bit of spice on them. Very tasty. I had a scoop of mango sorbet for dessert. A nice finish to my meal. Overall a really tasty meal. Just a few missteps on timing and service.

    I don't usually go anywhere twice, but I made an exception when Mom and Dad came to town. Having visited once before at lunch time and indulging on the most delicious pizza, I figured we couldn't go wrong by visiting again and trying some other menu items. North Italia rocked our socks off. It is amazing! At first glance, the menu may not inspire you you to drop in, but please be advised that even the simplest menu item, is DELICIOUS. I CANT WAIT TO GO BACK! 07-21-2025

    My sister was in Birmingham, and she wanted to treat me to dinner for my birthday. Of all the wonderful restaurants in town I wanted Italian, and so I decided on North Italia. It did not disappoint. We had a wonderful dinner and great service. We started with the Classico Chef's board, and it was amazing. The board included a beautiful collection of cured meats, cheeses, and nuts. The freshly baked hearth bread had a crusty exterior and chewy interior. Sister, wife, and I decide to share an entree, salad, and side dish. For the entree we selected the Spicy Rigatoni Vodka. We ordered the Tuscan Kale for the salad and the Glazed Chioggia Beets for our side dish. Sharing prevented us from over ordering and this was enough food for the three of us. I loved the entree. The rigatoni was cooked just right, and the sauce and sausage were portioned perfectly. The sauce was flavorful, and spicy but not excessively spicy. The kale salad was a nice combination of fresh ingredients with a delicious vinaigrette dressing. The fried pancetta and croutons give the salad a crunchy finish to each bite. The glazed beets were my least favorite piece of the meal, but they were not bad. My sister enjoyed them. Overall a great experience, and a memorable time celebrating another trip around the sun.

    Smoked Salmon Avocado Toast
    Taylor-Brooke M.

    Had a lovely lunch at North Italian in Birmingham! We sat outside and really enjoyed the stylish and relaxed patio setup--it's a great spot for a warm day. I had the Squid Ink Tonnarelli paired with a Peach Bellini--both were fantastic! The pasta was rich and flavorful, and the Bellini was light, fresh, and not overly sweet. My friend ordered the smoked salmon avocado toast, which was beautifully presented and full of fresh flavor. Only downside: we ordered the calamari, but it never came. It was a bit of a letdown, but the rest of the experience was so enjoyable that we didn't let it ruin our meal. Delicious food, great atmosphere, and otherwise attentive service--we'll definitely be back!

    The food is delicious. Branched out and had the pesto pasta. Really good. It's a beautiful restaurant. Staff Coukd open up and be less stale or bland. Some are not engaging at all. Some days it's not great from a conversation experience. I have never had any food that has been bad. Food is great. Just bland servers

    Truffle bread
    Lynn B.

    Authentic, made to order Italian! Everything is housemaid and absolutely delicious! Nice atmosphere for a date and the service is impeccable! I've eaten here multiple times and have always had my tastebuds tantalized.

    This caught my attention!

    We had dinner this part of town last night, there was no restaurants to where we were staying at, we decided to come back here, and as we drove around The Summit, we spotted a photo of a pizza, that we were craving for dinner! We parked the car, and walked in, and were seated where I wanted to sit, with a friendly staff. We browse through the menu, but we didn't care any of that, I wanted what I saw, and we came for a pizza and that's what we got! We also ordered a side salad of Arugula & Avocado with Salmon extra. Both were shared, including the salmon evenly when it arrived. The Lasagna Verde pizza was a new introduced during Pi Day 2025, and if you don't get one now, say goodbye when it's gone on the 11th (today). We were both NOT SORRY, everything was delicious, yes it's even more tastier when shared by a love one. This year, we're celebrating our 51st Wedding Anniversary, and the dessert is complimentary: Brookie Gelato Sundae. OMG! So good! Thank you, Sloan!

    The pizza was delicious with a perfect crust and flavor that really stood out. The meatballs were flavorful, tender, and cooked just right. The service was fantastic, super friendly and attentive from start to finish. Jay and his Team are crushing it. What a perfect day to sit on the patio and enjoy some cool weather and great cocktails in the Magic City. Definitely coming back soon.

    Crushed Meatball Ragu
    Jen C.

    Yum! Stopped in for dinner on work travel and really enjoyed this. I had the white truffle garlic bread as a starter - very tasty and very heavy. My entree was the crushed meatball ragu, which was tasty and a good portion. The tiramisu was delicious! Seated quickly with good service.

They have a food truck that I've heard wonderful things about and I ordered the chicken Caesar salad. It was almost like a chopped Caesar salad and it was just the right amount for a small girl dinner. If you like Parmesan cheese, this is a must order as they do not skimp on that! What was really nice however was that you couldn't tell the food was from a food truck. It was great quality and you are able to order from inside the bar and they deliver it to you. That was a great service. I can't quite remember which cocktail I got, but it was very delicious and at one point the server had even given me a new chilled glass so my drink would remain cold as I sipped on it. This is definitely a great date night spot or just a place to grab a drink with friends, definitely a little more upscale as we were there in the evening, so the lights were dim. I won't drop my rating as it's spring time in the South but I remember being cold immediately as I walked in- but that's typical for a lot of places.

One place came up, and at first, we weren't sure if it was open, but we walked in and immediately felt good vibes. No TVs, just hip R&B and Funk music, with a beautiful L-shaped bar and friendly bartenders Chloe and Ian. The menu is minimal, offering tapas and small plates, but that's because everything is made in-house and is especially good. We started with a House cocktail, the Pear & Proper, which is magnificent. Then we ordered the Wedge salad, and it was divine. After that, we shared the Red Wine Braised Short Rib, which melts in your mouth--their signature dish.

Beef and potatoes should be served stemming hot. Also the portion of the mashed potatoes could have been a bit more generous. The burger girls were ok with their choice, no frill there. This spot has an extremely limited food menu, so it's not a place I'd frequent but it's definitely worth a future return!
