I was so excited when North Italia opened here. It was one of my favorite spots back when we lived in California, and we have so many great memories there. A lot of people hear "chain restaurant" and immediately assume it won't be very good, but North Italia is honestly one of the exceptions. I didn't even realize it was a chain at first, and I was surprised to learn it's owned by the same company behind The Cheesecake Factory. Nothing against Cheesecake Factory, I love it too but "chain" can sometimes create the wrong impression. The food at North Italia feels authentic and easily holds its own against the other high-end Italian restaurants in town. The cocktails are excellent, the food is consistently top-notch, and the staff is always friendly and attentive. On top of that, the atmosphere is warm, stylish, and makes it a great place for anything from date night to brunch with your family. read more

We've first had their food with a Door Dash and the pizza was so good we went back for the in-restaurant experience. Might be our new favorite place to eat at Village Pointe! The burrata was a great start - especially with the waitress suggestion to add a side of grilled bread. We had the main courses of Bolognese and Ricotta Cavatelli and both were delicious. We had Turino Old Fashioned cocktails with our meals and they were a very nice variation of our favorite drink. The seasonal butter cake was the best of the desserts. The Salted Caramel Budino unfortunately pales in comparison to the Butterscotch Budino at the nearby Dante restaurant. It was still good, but is the only item we wouldn't order again. read more

Wow wow wow what an amazing addition to the village pointe area. We checked out the restaurant because we had heard amazing reviews from friends for our anniversary, and this has become our new favorite restaurant. The atmosphere is perfect for any special occasion as it has a romantic feel, but also very open and fun. You are able to watch them cook your food through a big open window to the kitchen which I loved. Our server was AMAZING. We wish we would have got his name, but he walked us through the menu and gave outstanding recommendations. The food was so fresh and decently priced for what you are getting. My boyfriend tried the braised short rib pasta and the truffle bread, and said it was the best food he's had in a long time and the bread was his favorite garlic bread ever. I tried the ricotta cavatelli with gluten free pasta, and was a beautiful balance between citrusy/bright and creamy. Overall, such an amazing experience and we can't wait to come back to try more of the menu! read more

Had to try out what seems to be the most popular spot in West O for the last few months! Definitely gives a fancy yet casual vibe when you walk in! I could totally see this being a great place for apps and cocktails on the patio with nice weather! I was ready to be blown away by the food so it was a goo thing we started with the garlic bread! Don't bother justifying the caloric content because saying no to this garlic bread is worse than eating a few hundred extra calories - totally worth it! Although I'm not a huge pasta fan, they definitely had a bunch of options! We tried the pesto and the mushroom pastas which were pretty good! We only had a couple of bites so we could save room for dessert! Everyone talks about their dessert menu and the seasonal options! I think it would be fun to try each season's special dessert, but we tried the Maple Apple Bombolini suggested by our awesome waiter! To die for!! There is definitely a lot to try but I can see me finding the one thing I order every time at this place in the future read more

Went to North Italia the other day with some friends. We tried to get a reservation but were told they didn't have any. I asked if we could try to walk in and they suggested doing that. We went on a Tuesday around 5:45pm. They had a lot of empty tables so maybe they only add some tables to reserve? The inside was very nice and dimly lit. The Pig was DELICIOUS! The Spicy Broccolini was very good. The waiter let me do a Shrimp Alfredo, which is technically not on their menu. It was very creamy and the shrimp was good, however, they were light on the protein. If I'd known, I would have asked for a double portion of protein. The Maple-Glazed Bombolini (comes with 4) was perfect for my friends to split for dessert. I'd order food just for dessert! Overall impressed with the class of the restaurant, the food quality, and the service. Will be back! read more

I met up with some friends at North Italia on a weeknight. We tried booking a reservation online, but there weren't any tables available. We called and were encouraged to walk in. When I got to the restaurant it was half empty with tons of tables available, so it seems they only take so many reservations per time slot then leave the rest for walk in. The decor was clean and the dinner lighting was low and vibey. I enjoyed the overall ambiance and can see it being perfect for date night. We got the broccolini for the table and it was delicious. I also had a half salad as an appetizer that was very fresh and light prior to a heavier pasta dish. I got the squid ink pasta as my entree and it wasn't my favorite. There wasn't anything wrong or bad about it, just not the most flavorful or exciting. The shrimp was a little tough and it was light on protein in my opinion. I tried the pig pizza and it was SO YUM! Others at the table really enjoyed their pasta, so I think I just didn't order the right thing for my taste. We tried the maple doughnuts for dessert and they were also really good. Overall this place seems great! I would love to come back and try to find my new favorite entree. North Italia seems like a great addition to the Village Point shopping center! I had no issues with parking, but can see how it would be tight on a weekend. read more

The place is super cute for date night or girls night. Was a very comforting atmosphere to be in. Service was super nice and the host were very friendly. I enjoyed all the food but the pizza we had was very salty. We started with focaccia bread and it was so fluffy when we cut into it. The pasta was the perfect ratio of creamy and savory. But the pizza was too salty we couldn't finish it. The presentation for everything was awesome tho! Pasta over pizza for sue read more

I had previously visited the Leawood, Kansas location of North Italia, so I was already familiar with the menu and overall concept. I was pleased to see that an Omaha location had opened at Village Pointe Shopping Center, and my wife and I decided to stop in on a cold, windy day in late December. While the restaurant wasn't packed, it was fairly busy. We put our name in for a table for two...and waited...and waited--about 35 to 40 minutes--despite the presence of multiple open tables throughout the restaurant. Naturally, we were puzzled, but chose to be patient. Once seated--at a two-top that had been open the entire time--we asked our server about the extended wait. She explained that they were short a few servers and that the host stand (staffed by four employees) was juggling both take-out phone orders and in-house seating. To avoid overwhelming the servers, they were intentionally slowing the pace of seating. Having worked in the industry myself, I could understand this approach. However, a typical guest waiting as we were would likely draw a very different conclusion--one that North Italia probably doesn't want spreading through today's fast-moving social media channels. If seating is being deliberately slowed, expectations must be managed. Guests need to know *why* they're waiting. Later, our server added that their electronic seating software was down, which was actually the primary cause of the delays, as staff had to manually track table availability. The point remains the same: communicate clearly with waiting guests. Without context, delays can easily be mistaken for inattention or poor organization. Once past the initial frustration, the rest of the experience improved significantly. The interior is bright, open, and thoughtfully designed, with multiple distinct seating areas and a variety of table configurations. The open kitchen, visible behind glass, adds energy and transparency to the space. We were only looking for a light bite, so we ordered the Italian Meatballs and the Italian Farm Salad, both enthusiastically--and accurately--recommended by our server. The presentation, quality, and flavor were excellent. As we discovered during our visit to the Leawood location, North Italia takes its Italian cuisine seriously, and that commitment clearly shows. Service was solid, though not always as attentive as we would have preferred. Diners at North Italia in Village Pointe are likely looking for a relatively efficient experience rather than a long, lingering meal. It would benefit management to ensure servers recognize this--or at least ask guests about their time constraints. We weren't in a hurry, but shoppers stopping in for a quick meal may be. Despite the initial frustrations and negative perceptions created by the wait, this visit still earns a solid four-star rating. The food, atmosphere, and menu largely outweigh the drawbacks, and given that much of the delay stemmed from a software issue, I expect the host stand experience to be smoother on our next visit. read more

The restaurant is inside the mall. I was walking around in my pajamas near the Apple Store and just happened to see it. I got curious about what they serve, so I decided to go in. The ambiance was really nice. It would've been even better if the weather wasn't so cold because I would've loved to sit outside and enjoy the sun. The food was fantastic and the server was great. Just making my review a little longer so it can get posted lol. Keep in mind most of the reviews are either 1 star or 5 stars, barely any 4 stars lol. read more

I was really excited for North Italia to come to Omaha, and we intentionally waited over a month to try it so it had time to find its footing. Unfortunately, we left feeling a bit disappointed. The interior is absolutely adorable, but the rest fell short. We came in for a late lunch after 2 p.m., and while there was plenty of staff and it wasn't very busy, service felt inattentive. I ordered a mocktail to start, but it didn't arrive until we were boxing up leftovers. We declined it at that point, though I did appreciate that they later brought it in a to-go cup as we were putting on our coats. We started with the white truffle bread. Visually stunning with a nice crunch on the crust, but the flavor didn't quite deliver. For mains, I ordered the Strozzapreti and my husband had the Spicy Rigatoni Vodka. Both dishes lacked depth and seasoning. A bit of fresh cracked pepper, extra cheese, or even more salt could have made a big difference. I'm open to coming back to try the pizzas, but at this point it's not somewhere I'm rushing back to. read more

We stopped in for lunch on a Saturday and the place was pretty busy. I really appreciate the updated decor from the prior place. They did a good job with the remodel. The place feels open yet cozy. They have not been too long so we had a few hiccups but overall very good service, friendly staff and the prices were fairly average. I appreciate they have the lunch and brunch menu at the same time. I enjoyed the steak and eggs. They did a good job cooking the meat more medium rare. Everyone else enjoyed their meals as well. We will likely be back in the near future to try the dinner menu. read more

Loved the ambiance and it was a nice day so the patio was open and bar was open air. Great menu. Decent portions however a tad over priced on some of the menu items. A simple salad was $11 and one or the breads were a tad pricey as well in my opinion. Service was great. My reason for the 4 out of 5 stars is my dish lacked flavor but I would come back and try other dishes. read more

Delicious, delicious, delicious. Our server was amazing, was able to give great recommendations on food and drink for the table. The food came extremely fast. Pricing was reasonable for a nicer restaurant, not over the top fancy, but great for a birthday dinner or nice date night! The white truffle garlic bread was heavenly, I would literally come back here just to get that appetizer again. So. So. Good. I had the strozzapreti, it was AMAZING, so filling and the flavors were so unique, definitely will be getting it again. My girlfriend had their bolognese, I tried a bite and it also was extremely delicious. With dinner I had their Turino Old Fashioned, very good, not the best I've had, but very well done. Definitely will be back here soon! read more

North Italia in Omaha is the kind of spot that makes you want to linger. The donuts arrive warm, soft, and dusted with sugar tiny bites of joy that disappear way too quickly. The coffee cake is equally irresistible, with a buttery crumble that pairs perfectly with their smooth espresso. Honestly, it's the kind of combo that makes you rethink what "dessert" should be. The ambiance ties it all together: chic yet cozy, with warm lighting and a buzz that feels both lively and welcoming. Whether you're catching up with friends or sneaking in a date night, the vibe makes every visit feel special. Bottom line: North Italia isn't just about pasta...it's about indulgence, atmosphere, and those unforgettable donuts and coffee cake. read more

First time trying North Italia, and we enjoyed it! We liked the interior design and the ambiance. The service was great as the staff were all super friendly. For drinks, we tried the pomegranate mule and a mocktail called Pina No-Lada. Both of them were refreshing and tasty. For starters, we shared the truffle garlic bread, which was incredibly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Then, for entree, I had the strozzapreti, which had shrimp and crab meat. The pasta tasted fresh and the sauce was creamy but felt like it needed more flavor. For dessert, we had the maple glazed bombolini, which tasted like a cross between donuts and apple pie. It was good, but a bit too sweet for my liking. read more

I first tried North Italia in AZ and had great experiences so was excited to see one come to Omaha, even though I didn't recognize it was a chain at the time. I came with my wife and her mom for lunch. We started with the shrimp scampi appetizer, which was one of the better ones I've had around town. My only complaint is I wish they took the tails off for you. I had the Chicken Parmesan and it was very good. My wife had the Eggplant Parmesan appetizer with a 1/2 Kale Tuscan salad which she enjoyed very much. Our server was very good and attentive. I would certainly consider this a go-to spot. read more

So after some Costco therapy on Sunday. I was feeling a little Italian and wanted something yummy so I when to this place and glad I did. I ordered to go cause nothing feels comfy like eat at home plus I was tired. So I got the steak which was delicious. The eggplant crispy Parmesan with a little spice which surprised me. The truffle bread was yummers. The Calamari was tasty with a half squeezed lemon and dipping sauce on the side. And the braised short ribs. The salad with a special citrus sauce wow that woke me up. Now that I think about it. I should have eaten there. There were lots of seating with beautiful lights and comfortable seating. The person that took my order was very nice and polite and friendly. Giving me different options on what to order. read more

Had a great weekend brunch at North Italia -- lively spot with tasty Italian-inspired eats and great service. The interior design is beautiful. The "faux me twice" mocktail was excellent, and the Caesar salad and Cacio e Pepe Arancini were big hits. My friends loved the strawberry French toast -- sweet, flavorful, and brunch-worthy. The calamari was good but not great, and the soup of the day (potato) lacked flavor, so we sent it back. Service was very good throughout. Would go back for drinks and starters again! read more

Even though North is a chain it's very good. The house made noodles are excellent. The Spicy Italian sandwich is everything you want it to be. Hot and delicious!

Really enjoyed this place! Loved the low lit atmosphere it made everything feel very intimate, but there was still an upbeat vibe to the place. We got the white truffle bread to start and it was so good! A big portion with great flavors. Our mains were the spicy rigatoni vodka and the hot honey prosciutto pizza. Both tasted great! In particular the pasta was not too spicy and it was nice and al dente. Not the best pasta I've had from an Italian restaurant but it's in the same league as some of those. The brussel sprouts were also yummy and had great flavors. And our server was nice, attentive, and quick! It was like she was reading my mind on what I was going to ask for next!We will be back! read more

We had been to North in Scottsdale & Dallas so we were excited when we heard they were opening a location in Omaha! The meal lived up to expectations- the truffle bread is always a hit & my husband enjoyed his chicken Parmesan. However, our incredible server Jaffrey recommended our two favorite parts of the night: the braised short rib lumache & their dessert special- a coconut cake. They were both fabulous. They are still getting their feet under them being a new restaurant + we were there during a shift change so some of our food & drinks were slow to come out. Our waiter gave us plenty of updates though & they ended up comping our truffle bread for the long wait. We weren't in a hurry so it didn't both us, but remember to give grace to your new restaurants! We will definitely be back & will be requesting Jaffrey for his wonderful customer service & expertise! read more

Ate here for the first time this morning over a Sunday brunch/lunch with the family and overall everything was very good. I wanted to get this review in as it's a fairly new restaurant in the area. The service was extremely good, the shrimp, scampi and bread appetizers were delicious and I chose for my entrée the farm salad and was very pleased with the portion and taste. I personally did not get any desserts today, but others in my party did and those looked good as well. I would not call the restaurant upscale but I would say it's close to upscale but very clean, neat and just a nice dining experience. Expect to pay $16-$25 for your entrées. I left today very happy with the my experience today. read more

We celebrated Valentines Day at North Italia and it was really beautiful when you walked in - all newly renovated - very cozy Italian vibe. Kind of casual to upscale. The food was absolutely delicious!!! I had the Chicken Pesto and my husband had a breakfast dish with a sunny side up egg over a delicious crispy chicken - SO good. The atmosphere was awesome with cozy lamps and lighting and comfy booths. The service was lacking I'd say and we weren't welcomed when walking in. Granted it was Valentine's Day but it wasn't busy when we got there and were seated right away. The prices were a bit high for what you got - overall I don't think we'd go back unless they fix their service because that is a huge part of the going out experience! read more

Fantastic service from start to finish. We enjoyed some cocktails, their regular espresso martini is to die for! We got the beef carpaccio appetizer and it was my first go with this sort of dish. It was absolutely fantastic, the meat was buttery smooth and packed with flavors. My husband and I opted to share some dishes, I tried the short rib marsala, and he got the regular pasta. (I definitely perferred mine) both were great! The desserts have to be tried. We tried the Brookie Sunday and the short buttercake. WOW the butter cake was a seasonal pumpking which isn't something I'd normally try but he had to pry the fork from my hand. Truly exceptional food, and service! I hope they maintain that because it was truly a treat to dine out here. The interior is stunning, and there are windows opening into the kitchen where you can see the past being hand made. What are you waiting for, make your reservation already! read more

Came here on a snowy day around 5:30pm. The bar was pretty empty and we were walk-ins so we sat at the bar no problem. Since it was a snow day they were short staffed so we did have some issues with our service such as our order being written down wrong and slow service. They are new to Omaha and still training staff, so it's understandable. We did talk to someone about it and they were happy to address the issue. We will be going again because what we did have short rib Marsala, scallops, and bread (it's pre-dressed!) was very good. We want to try the pasta, but if you go at dinner, I suggest a reservation. The restaurant is very cute and perfect for a date night. read more

I was actually blown away at North Italia's soft opening. The remodeled interior is absolutely gorgeous, and everyone we encountered was so kind and knowledgeable on the menu. We started off with a drink. I had the carajillo, which was absolutely perfect. I don't often find this on a menu, so I was pleasantly surprised. I'm usually someone who has 1-2 things from a menu that sound good to me. Um, not here! It was so hard to decided what I wanted to order. We started with the cacio e pepe arancini. These were so incredibly delicious, especially when paired with the pesto sauce. I had the breakfast carbonara. I've never had carbonara with the thick, big noodles like this had, but I am a fan. My husband had the bolognese. He said this was also very good. We finished off our meal with the seasonal pumpkin butter cake. This was incredible: soft cake with a thick layer of pistachio cream and marshmallow frosting. I en actually sad this is seasonal! I'm already planning my next visit! read more

Tried this new addition to Omaha last night and loved it! A lot of times when you try a newly opened restaurant, you have to extend a lot of grace and patience to the staff as they are stressed and still learning, but you would've never known this was a new establishment! It was so well run and we didn't encounter any hiccups with the service. I was there for a night out with some girlfriends. They sat us in a cozy corner booth and the dark, moody vibe was dreamy on a cold Omaha evening. I tried the "Sunday night lasagna" (bummed the picture is blurry!) but got a taste of a few other things my friends ordered, like the Bolognese and a seafood pasta dish - and they were all extraordinarily good. The crispy brussel sprouts were sweet and savory and a great side for the table. The table next to us ordered pizza and I would definitely return to try that. read more
