    Yep 5 Stars. Why, well because I appreciate the consistency and quality of not only the food but the service. If you want a good place to dive with lots of fun every and open vibrant setting. This is your place Lots of great food choices and you have to sample the Cacio De Pepe Arancini If you simply wish to bar hop they have you covered as well. With a nice bar that allows you to sit and people watch to your hearts content

    Wild Shrimp Scampi
    Bryan C.

    This is the location that turned us into North Italia fanatics for as far back as I can remember. Food quality, servers, managers, the vibe, located in the Hawaii feeling outdoor mall "The Point", and general feeling of your on vacation makes this one of the best places to visit if you haven't already. Food here over the years have evolved with some changes my wife and I wasn't too happy with after Cheesecake Factory bought them out. This last visit has reversed everything I didn't like about the changes and it literally has returned to its previous glory. Food was absolutely amazing this run! I came with my wife and mom (her first visit) and we ordered so much. Food: Braised Short Rib Marsala - The meat melts in your mouth. There's no way to describe how tender is and how easy it is to pull a piece away with your fork one handed. The polenta and mushrooms the ribs sit on have a super inviting taste. My wife doesn't like truffle sauces and that be the only thing I would switch out. Other than that the vegetables were still crispy but easy to chew. Perfect dish all around. Wild Shrimp Scampi is a must order for me. The shrimps are jumbo sized with a mix of flavors that's been improved since a few months ago. It's no longer swimming in grease and a joy to eat with the generous slices of toasted garlic bread. Burrata - Sweet vinaigrette, large chunks of fresh ripped tomatoes, crunchy toast and arugula is a 100% must order. The burrata cheese melts in your mouth. Ambiance - very lively and celebratory loud, this place is perfect for a fun date, a family gathering or even just to feel energize and enjoy an amazing atmosphere Service - Service at over the years have had hits and misses but the last 3 visits have been straight up amazing. Our latest server was with James again which was the server that first waited on us and made us feel welcome many years before pandemic years. He hasn't changed a bit and remains charismatic giving benchmark setting service. This was my mom's first visit and he really impressed her that she is now ok with us traveling 25 miles to eat here again lol. Managers and the host Friday night "Treya" not sure on spelling was awesome taking care of us. It's been a joy to see the menu improve by so much and all around service being so good again. Previous visits, Gunner and Wyatt (welcome back) are at the top of my short lists in best of the best in service. The staff here is why I spent 80% of my north Italia visits here. The other 20% at the Irvine location. Have yet to try the Torrance one. I remember many years ago a manager I believe "Lisa" turned us into regulars here forever. Looking forward to my next visit! HIGHLY RECOMMEND this location. You won't be disappointed.

    Trottole Chicken Pesto

    I was drawn here by the photos of the pesto pasta and boy did it deliver! Delicious pasta, fresh ingredients. Paired with a cappuccino and garlic truffle bread, heavenly. I felt comfortable in the atmosphere and enjoyed great service from the staff

    Always a pleasure! It had been quite sometime (probably 2 years) since I had been to this location, but the bartender still remembered me from when I used to come regularly with my cousin. Sometimes it's nice to be remembered. Evening of Wednesday 1/28/26 and It got crazy busy as soon as I sat down but they did a great job. I decided to try something new so I got the hot honey and prosciutto pizza. I hate smoked meats with a passion so I subbed regular prosciutto for the smoked. It was great, but as an Italian I like traditional. I don't like sweet and this was still amazing. If you don't like sweet get the "pig" pizza. Their charcuterie is awesome too. Love this place!

    Always love the food here. The chicken Parmesan served with a side of rigatoni pasta with a white sauce is my favorite. The cocktails we ordered were outstanding. Service is solid despite restaurant always being crowded. A little fancier but they do cram the tables too much.

    Squid Ink Tonnarelli
    Jinny C.

    Great spot for all occasions - not too fancy, not too casual. The restaurant is spacious and located in an outdoor mall. Service is friendly and attentive. I had lunch with a friend and our server gave us plenty of time to chat without rushing us. I ordered the squid ink tonnarelli, which was tasty and had a good strong tomato flavor. Slightly on the salty side.

    Valpolicella
    Patty S.

    It's very uneventful... and honestly not worth the cost for the food and experience. Two pasta dishes one appetizer and 2 sodas (nothing alcoholic)... translated to a 6 figures tab. Food was not bad, but there was no wow factor to the dishes we ordered. Service was not bad, but it wasn't good. Server was polite and nice, but she was definitely not engaged and it was hard to get her attention. We had a nice table by the see-through kitchen glass.

    Smoked Salmon Avocado Toast
    April C.

    I enjoyed the food here, along with the attentive service, and scenic ambiance. Ordered the steak and eggs for brunch, meatball pizza and the banana coffee cake. The cake was the best I've had! This place is added to my regular rotation.

    Tiramisu* and chocolate cake
    Rachael I.

    We went here for my friends birthday which was a success. We had so much fun! The ambiance was great for celebrations or a date night. The short rib plate looked amazing and I had the bolognese which was recommended to me the waiter and I am glad I went with his choice. The garlic cheese bread was okay. My favorite was the chocolate cake and the cheese ball appetizer. I had 2 pomegranate mules which are a spin on the classic and underrated Moscow Mule. 5/5 drink! I could've had 5 more, they were delicious and could taste the refreshing ginger beer. Service was attentive and the waiter was very chill and genuine. The bathrooms were clean and had huge mirrors for selfies. I will definitely be back.

    Funghi pizza ‍
    Adriana A.

    Everyone is kind and attentive. Normally I don't, but we loved sitting at the bar simply because Larissa was very friendly and I felt comfortable. We ordered the funghi pizza for the first time and I feel like I've been missing out, it's delicious. But as a regular scallop risotto goer I felt a little disappointed because it tastes different, I just can't put my finger on it. It might be the can of veggies they put in it. I hope it's better when I return. Otherwise yum!

    I took a friend to North Italia for her birthday and we had a wonderful experience. Even though we arrived about 20 minutes late due to difficult parking, they seated us right away. The food was excellent. I ordered the roasted salmon pasta and my friend had the Sunday Night Lasagna. Our waitress also recommended the seasonal vegetable salad with butternut squash and dates, which was delicious. For dessert she ordered a sundae that looked amazing. I only tried a little of the ice cream, but it was delicious. The atmosphere was lively but comfortable and the service was great. If you'd like bread, just ask--they brought out a very nice complimentary sourdough. Overall it was a great dining experience. I would definitely return and highly recommend this restaurant.

    Short rib Tuscan Hash* brunch menu
    Anna S.

    Pretty good and worth coming back! First time for brunch and it was decent. I originally wanted the steak and eggs but instead went with the hash which was not bad. Americano is your typical American breakfast but with some special treats like prosciutto and crispy potato balls. Service was good and cappuccino good and pretty good value too- for two brunch dishes, a cappuccino and a beer was around $65 with tip.

    Jason M.

    North Italia in El Segundo is one of those restaurants you visit once... and immediately start planning your next trip back. The location alone is perfect (just a short drive from the beach) so it already feels like the ideal spot for a relaxed date night, family dinner, or weekend treat. Now the food? Elite. The pizzas are absolutely amazing: perfectly blistered crust, high-quality toppings, and that balance of flavor that makes each slice hit like it was crafted by someone's Italian nonna. But the real star of the night for me is always the chicken pesto pasta. I don't know what kind of magic they put in that pesto, but it's bright, fresh, creamy, and just ridiculously satisfying. Hands down my favorite dish on the menu. Service is friendly, the vibes are modern and warm, and the whole experience feels like a step above your average Italian spot. If you're in the El Segundo area or hanging around the beach, definitely give North Italia a try. You won't regret it.

After about twenty minutes of being ignored someone came and grabbed my husbands empty glass but left my completely full glass sitting on the bar mat. Another ten minutes or so of still not being checked on and we finally decided to leave. I'm out the twelve bucks for my drink but I consider it a twelve dollar lesson in not coming back here again. Sadly, the only reason we chose to get drinks at this bar was because I insisted I wanted a drink before heading home.

It's located inside a hotel and the rooftop was decorated with florals and there were couches near the fire pits. If you sit at the fire pit, the table is going to be super small by the way.

My friends ordered the bird of paradise and the LA fruit cart and they liked their drinks as well. For food, we all tried the flora fries, garlic parmesan wings and the ahi tuna poke nachos. This is where it was lacking. I only liked the flora fries. They were crispy and garlicky. However, the garlic parmesan wings were extremely bland. I couldn't taste any flavor, we had to ask for some salt. The ahi tuna poke was not what i was expecting. I literally got 4 small pieces of tuna on some crispy wonton chips and it was $23 lol. Overall, if I were to come back, I would just come for drinks and ambiance but not the food.

Salmon Tacos- zero flavor. I asked for the salt shaker to help the cause. Also, the purple tortillas were soft in the middle, and stale all around the outer edges so the bite of food was off putting just chewing a semi-hard tortilla.

Their sides are the best and you will love them all. This place really has it going.

    This is hands down the best steakhouse in Southern California. We have been more than once and each…read moretime it was great. It is getting popular so make a reservation. This time we took my husband there for Father's Day. We got an early reservation so it was not crowded, but by the time we left it was full. Parking is easy on the street and for the most part free. This is a fine dining place so it is expensive and for 4 people we spent a little over $400.00--no alcohol. They have a beautiful full bar but we were not drinking. You can also go solo there and eat at the bar. The steaks here are the best as is all their food. They make their own rolls and they have an interesting vegan salad made with kale. Their coffee is just great. All of their sides are wonderful, but you must get their jumbo asparagus and their mashed potatoes. They also have great desserts, but add something chocolate please for those of us not fond of carmel or toffee. A must have is their starter crab cake. They have the best sauces for all their food and they are all made from scratch. The service is the best. You will want for nothing. They are so spot on and kind. The place is comfortable and spotless. It is a must try.
