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. read more

My husband and I went to North Italia for drinks and appetizers at the bar and unfortunately had one of the worst dining experiences we've had in a long time. A group near us was on speakerphone/FaceTime at full volume for over 20 minutes, completely disrupting the atmosphere for everyone around them. We politely brought it to the attention of our server, who informed management. Instead of handling the situation professionally, the manager, Romo, came over and argued with my husband. What made it even worse was Romo's response that this is a "public open space" and people are apparently entitled to be on speakerphone as loud as they want, regardless of how disruptive it is to other paying customers. Since when did restaurants become acceptable places for people to blast FaceTime calls across the bar while everyone else is trying to enjoy their evening? If management truly believes basic courtesy and restaurant etiquette no longer matter, then that says everything about the standards here. The lack of professionalism, accountability, and respect for other customers completely ruined the experience. We won't be returning. For clarification since management repeatedly called this a "public space" that is inaccurate. This is a privately owned business open to the public, not a public park or sidewalk. Management absolutely has the right to address disruptive behavior, including customers blasting speakerphone or FaceTime calls that disturb other paying guests. The issue was never that they "couldn't" do anything?! it's that they chose not to. read more

Our experience at North Italia wasn't a good one. First off, the atmosphere is good, we sat outside with the heat lamps and were able to people watch, we were also seated in about 10 minutes on a busy Saturday evening. Secondly thanks to our waitress Tara who was super attentive and took care of us. She was good. Now down to the bad and the ugly. I understand it was busy, there were people running around the kitchen, tons of chefs, but that doesn't mean their signature dishes, the pastas, should be super bland and boring, you're an Italian restaurant. When you ask for salt for pasta at an Italian restaurant, you're in trouble. My Ricotta Cavatelli was horrible. Lump crab was more like limp crab. The pasta was bland, it was bad, salt couldn't help this dish. To top it off, there were two of us who ordered the dish and my bowl looked like it was a $5.99 lunch deal meal, such a small portion for an almost $30 bowl. It was sad. Tara took care of it though and comp'ed me another bland bowl of the Cavatelli dish. Thank you for making up for it a bit. Overall it was a good experience with the atmosphere and service as it was sort of a family dinner with people who I haven't seen in a while. It was nice to be able to sit outside and have the good service from Tara. unfortunately the food was lackluster. read more

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 read more

We came here for a friend's birthday. The space is nice and lively though that means you are likely looking at a pretty long wait if you didn't snag a reservation in advance. The drinks were definitely the highlight of the night, as the cocktails are well-crafted and hit the spot. Unfortunately, the food didn't quite live up to the hype, leaning a bit too heavy on the salt and feeling overall pretty mid for the price point. We also ran into some service hiccups where our order came out wrong and was missing the meat entirely. I'd give a 3.5 out of 5. Overall it is alright, but you can do better at this price point. read more

A modern Italian spot that feels polished but easygoing. Warm interiors, open kitchen energy, and always a lively crowd without feeling overwhelming. Food is consistently solid. Fresh pastas, good pizzas, simple dishes done right. Drinks hold their own with a solid cocktail and wine selection. Great for date nights or small groups when you want something reliable that still feels a bit elevated.

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

My husband and I had dinner last night at North Italia at The Point in El Segundo to celebrate his birthday. We've dined there numerous times in the past and booked thru Open Table. We started with cocktails and I enjoyed Rudolf's Replacement, a specialty holiday cocktail with tequila. I liked it so much that I ordered a second. Mussels as an appetizer were delicious. It can be hit or miss but they nailed it last night with the garlic wine sauce and toasted sourdough bread. I ordered the branzino and asked for pasta instead of potatoes. The branzino was a little overcooked, but it was a generous portion. My husband's steak, which he ordered medium rare came out medium well. They replaced it with a medium rare steak and he enjoyed it. Unfortunately I was done with my meal when his came out. They were kind enough to provide him with some truffle bread and soup while he waited for his steak. He chose a sundae for his dessert and it was decadent with different ice creams, whipped cream, sides of different toppings. There was a gift card promo with buy $100, get $20 to spend during a future limited period. I didn't get any because I let a previous $20 promo card expire and they wouldn't accept it after the date. We had a nice meal with great service from our server. read more

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. read more

Haven't been here in years and really glad we returned. The food is so good. We were delightfully surprised at how much better it has gotten. The only part I didn't like is that they make you pay for bread. ;) but, we had appetizers and entrees and even a shared dessert. It's a little pricey for a casual night out but worth what you pay for it. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals and had leftovers. I would go back for the fish and the pesto pasta. We also enjoyed the sorbet and appetizers. Service was friendly and the team seemed to help one another. read more

Wow! We hadn't eaten at North Italia since last year when I was slightly underwhelmed. Last night, on a whim, we, and another couple decided to make a last minute reservation at North Italia El Segundo. Located at The Point, a local shopping center, parking can be tough. But not tonight-the parking gods were with us and we nabbed a great space. The restaurant was packed with people waiting outside, but our 7;15 reservation was honored and we got right in. The restaurant is lively and very tastefully done for a chain restaurant. Our server greeted us and took our drink and food order at the same time, because let's be honest-we were hungry! We started with Arnold Palmers and Cokes because it was a dry Friday for all of us. Next came the Zucca Chips-lightly fried zucchini which were gobbled up by all of us. The pesto aioli was a great dipping sauce. We followed up with a Margarita Pizza- thin crust and actually very good. Our Little Gem Caesar Salad-grated grana padano, herb breadcrumbs, and black pepper was a winner as well. I secretly wanted to order a side of the croutons and dressing. For dinner three of us had the Wild Shrimp Scampi which is labeled as a small plate and is anything but. Blistered tomatoes, grana padano, garlic confit, herb butter, and charred lemon with pretty large wild shrimp made this scampi a winner. Dip the grilled bread in the sauce and you'll be in garlic heaven! We also had the Sunday Night Lasagna-braised short rib, Italian sausage, marinara, ricotta, and provolone. My husband said it was delicious but would not share a bite! For dessert, we shared the Tiramisu. I love the little chocolate balls they serve on top and literally want to buy a pound of them and eat them every day! The restaurant was filled to capacity so service was quick at first for pizza, chips, and salad. There was a very noticeable time gap between the salad and the mains. We will overlook that and definitely return to this location! read more

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. read more

Lunch for 4, ordered 3 pizzas and some pasta. Staff was friendly and attentive, food came fairly quickly, was hot and fresh. Had the pig pizza, a chicken pizza and a spice sausage pizza.

Great atmosphere especially if you want to have a decent italian dinner and watch a game at the same time. Plenty of seats where you can see the two televisions at the bar. The price range is 30 dollars / dish, so I had my bar pretty high for the food. The food was decent, but not as nice as Eataly or some of the top tier Italian restaurants. I'd come if I was in the area for convenience, but wouldn't come all the way here to eat at this restaurant. The roasted salmon was my favorite, especially the pest pasta that came with it. Salmon was tender, love the combo with pasta on the side which really fills you up. The spicy rigatoni was decent, but did not feel very special. It was spicy, had pieces of sausage in it, with the al dante pasta. For the price, I expected a bit more than just a regular rigatoni pasta with meat. The mushroom pizza had pretty thick crust that I wouldnt expect from traditional Italian restaurants. I also wish there were more mushrooms. read more

We decided to try this place after seeing the great reviews and it did not disappoint. We came after a tournament on a Sunday night around 6 and it was busy. Located in an open airy mall it was very intimate inside and service was great. I ordered the bolognese and so did my hubs but he had his with added meatballs and ricotta and it was a nice touch. My som ordered a margherita pizza with added pepperoni, and MIL ordered a pasta with slow braised short rib which she enjoyed. The food was delicious. I even had leftovers. I highly recommend if craving Italian. Will definitely come by again if we are in the area. My glass of moscato was amazing as well. The perfect dinner. read more

Gosh, I love Italian food and this North Italia is very quickly becoming a favorite of mine. Lots of interior seating with a chill, inviting ambiance. Great for date nights, groups, or solo at the bar. There can be quite a crowd in here, so reservations are recommended and don't mind the noise. Portions are on the larger side and good to share. Prices are a bit on the higher end, which feels reasonable for the quality and location. I recommend their pasta and pizza options, and the Prosciutto Bruschetta. Authentic, hearty and delicious. I highly recommend the Spicy Vodka Rigatoni! Great service, plenty of local parking, and lots of space to walk around before and after. read more

I've been here a couple of times. The first time I had the bolognese, which was delicious. I also had the white truffle garlic bread. Also delicious. Everything is very fresh. The staff is very friendly and well versed on all of the menu options. The second time I went at lunch. It was crowded, but we were seated quickly. I opted for heirloom breath & chicken salad and of course the garlic bread again. I had it with ranch instead of the vinaigrette. Good choice! This place is pricey for lunch. So I wouldn't go often, but it's great for an occasional treat. read more

Decided to come here in efforts to beat LA traffic and thankfully we managed to get seated immediately because of my reservation. Based off the impressions from other recent reviews, I heard the talk of the town was the pizza so me and my friend decided to order a Neapolitan pizza with meatball to split. I additionally ordered a chicken parmesan, though with white sauce as opposed to the normal red sauce. This was recommended by our server as I gave him my preferences, to which he happily gave some nice suggestions on the menu! It did not take long to receive our meals either despite how busy it was. We first got our pizza and after trying it, I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious it was! Normally, I do not find that ricotta compliments pizza that much. However, all the components of this pizza mixed very well together, and each bite was just so rich with flavor. The only downside with this pizza was how greasy the center was, but me and my friend managed. Afterwards, the chicken parm arrived and I dug into the chicken first. As expected, it was seasoned very well and was very juicy! The pasta on the other hand was not that amazing even though the texture of the pasta was perfect al dente in my opinion. The sauce reminded me of the classico white alfredo sauce in a jar, which brought me back to childhood. Nevertheless, it was a sauce that I did not enjoy as much as everything else. In terms of prices, most of the items are on the higher end compared to other restaurants I have had but nothing too unjustified. Overall, this is definitely a place I can remember for its pizza and I am open to trying other pizzas like their margherita in the future! read more

From the moment we walked in, the experience was top-tier. The quality of the food was exceptional every dish was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The pastas were perfectly cooked, the sauces were rich without being heavy, and the appetizers had a great balance of flavor and creativity. The service was just as impressive. Our server was knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without ever being overbearing. They guided us through the menu with great recommendations and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. The presentation of each dish was beautiful thoughtfully plated and restaurant-level stunning. You can tell there's pride behind the kitchen doors. Whether you're out for a date night, dinner with friends, or just want to treat yourself, North Italia El Segundo is absolutely worth it. We'll definitely be back. It can get pretty busy during weekends so I recommend preplanning and making a reservation. read more

I think I've officially been to most or all of the SoCal locations for North Italia, but it was my first time at my local one in El Segundo. The service was great, but the food was hit or miss (which tends to be the case with North Italia). After several experiences at various locations, I think I can safely say that their pastas are typically not that great. However, the pizzas are always well made, and the Truffle bread is usually pretty amazing! The ambiance is usually nice too. Below is everything I tried: 5/5 - White Truffle Garlic Bread: perfectly made, fluffy, flavorful, and overall delicious! My favorite appetizer here for a reason, haha. 4.5/5 - Margherita Pizza (+ Tie Dye sauce combo): simple, but still has a wonderful combination of flavors thanks to the Tie Dye sauce add ons and their always fantastic crust. 4/5 - Spicy Rigatoni Vodka: honestly my favorite pasta of theirs that I've tired so far, but still a step or two below some of the best in LA (like those at Jame or Donna's). 4/5 - Sicilian Margarita: el mayor reposado, grand marnier, montenegro, fresh citrus. Tasty and refreshing! 3.5/5 - Brookie Sunday: the brownie/cookie part just wasn't that great, but the dish was still enjoyable because of the wonderful ice cream and toppings, but they ideally shouldn't be the star of the dish. 3/5 - Bolognese (House Specialty): for their house specialty pasta this was quite disappointing, to quote my cousin: "This just tastes like a pasta I would make at home, and I'm no chef". It wasn't bad, but it wasn't memorable or very flavorful. I would definitely skip this dish. Food: 4/5 Drinks: 4/5 Service: 4.5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Value: 3.5/5 Overall: 4/5 read more

The moment the Sicilian meatballs arrived, time itself seemed to pause. Two perfectly spherical warriors sat in a pool of crimson sauce, their surfaces glistening under the restaurant's warm light. The first bite triggered an explosion of flavor--the tender beef and pork melding together in a dance of herbs and spices. The sauce, rich with San Marzano tomatoes, wrapped around my tongue like a warm embrace. My eyes widened as waves of savory bliss radiated through my body. This... this is what Italian grandmothers dream about! Then came the beef carpaccio, paper-thin slices arranged like rose petals on the plate. The raw beef, so delicate it practically dissolved on contact, released a clean, mineral sweetness. The arugula added a peppery kick while the shaved parmesan delivered sharp, crystalline notes. Each element harmonized perfectly--a symphony of textures and tastes that left me momentarily breathless. But nothing prepared me for the braised short rib pappardelle. The fork pierced through the meat like butter, and when that first bite hit--HEAVEN! The beef, so tender it had transcended its physical form, released deep, wine-dark flavors that had been coaxed out through hours of patient braising. The wide ribbons of pappardelle caught every drop of that luxurious sauce, each strand a vehicle for pure umami ecstasy. The lump crab and shrimp cavatelli arrived next, a seafood treasure chest. Sweet crab meat and plump shrimp nestled in the ridged pasta shells, bathed in a delicate sauce that tasted of the ocean's finest offerings. The sweetness of the shellfish, the subtle garlic notes--it was elegance incarnate. Finally, the gingerbread butter cake and tiramisu delivered the knockout blow. The cake's warm spices and buttery richness melted into blissful comfort, while the tiramisu's layers of espresso-soaked ladyfingers and mascarpone cream created a coffee-kissed cloud of pure joy. read more

The Baseline: For an Italian sit down restaurant the food must use of prime Italian ingredients (garlic, tomatoes, cheese, basil), preparation of sauces and al dente pasta, the meal portion size must leave me feeling full, and the service needs me feeling like I am part of the family. Food: The food at North Italia is good Italian and there isn't any time I can think of that it has disappointed me. This visit I tried the Crispy Eggplant Parmesan and Calamari Fritti small plates and both were crispy and the eggplant took on all the delicious Italian seasoning. The entrees were the Bolognese, crushed meatball rags, and tortellini al pomodoro which were all well sauced with the pastas cooked to an al dente preparation. The drinks were an iced tea and a Sicilian Margarita which all complemented the meal, with water glasses kept full. We opted for desert and the Tahitian Vanilla Panna Cotta which was well formed, perfect texture, and not overly sweet as you would expect from a panna cotta. The compliment desert we had a latte and a Jumpstart. I love the Jumpstart which was sweet and espresso shot shaken into a delicious concoction. Getting this every chance I can. Service: Service was not bad this visit but there was a few hiccups that caused the entrees to be delivered at different times. A little forgiveness for the business and that the manager stopped by to let us know. Ambiance: This has the same Ambiance as my original review and it was not any different. The bathrooms are very clean which is high marks read more
