We had dinner reservations for a party of 7 on a Saturday. There was a little wait after checking in as the restaurant was lively and packed. My partner and I shared the Chicken Parmesan. I appreciated that they split our order into two separate plates. The table ordered some appetizers, Roasted Mushrooms, Yellow tail Crudo, and Calamari. They were pretty tasty! The portions were on the smaller side so we placed a 2nd order of the Roasted Mushrooms. In the meantime, our party finish up the starters and all received our entrees. We were told our mushrooms were delayed and a manager came by to apologize. By the time our mushrooms arrived, most of our party had finished eating and our left overs were already boxed up. Ordered: Chicken Parmesan ($27) Espresso Martini ($?) Prosecco glass ($12.5) Huss Beer ($7-9) Visited 10/3/26 read more

My friends and I decided to check out North Italia for the first time a few weeks ago. We went on a Friday afternoon around 4pm and were seated immediately without a wait. The restaurant is super aesthetic inside. Lots of big windows, plants everywhere, fun furniture. It feels upscale right from the start. Our server was pleasant and approachable. She was able to answer a couple questions we had on menu. We decided to start with the Cacio e Pepe pizza. This was very good - probably my favorite bite of the night. For entrees, we got the Braised Short Rib Lumache, Ricotta Cavatelli, and Chicken Scarpariello. We all enjoyed our meals, but none of them were exceptional. Comments on the Scarpariello was that it needed acid to break-up all the richness. I felt the same about the Short Rib Lumache. Everything sort of tasted like a leveled-up Olive Garden. I'm not in a particular rush to return, but I would if invited or in the area. read more

We visited during Arizona Restaurant Week to try their special menu. For the small plates, I ordered the heirloom tomato & burrata and absolutely loved it. It came with grilled ciabatta, arugula, shaved red onion, and a Calabrian vinaigrette. The burrata was incredibly creamy and paired perfectly with the tomatoes, while the crunchy ciabatta added a wonderful contrast in texture. My husband chose the Sicilian meatballs, which were served over creamy polenta with rustic marinara and grana padano, also a very solid dish. For our entrees, we had the hot honey & smoked prosciutto pizza and the strozzapreti, a pasta dish with herb-roasted chicken, mushroom, spinach, parmesan cream, truffle, and pine nuts). Both were fantastic! The pizza nailed that sweet and savory flavor profile, and the crust was absolutely perfect. The strozzapreti was also delicious -- rich, creamy, and packed with mushroom and truffle flavor. Last time we visited the North Italia Phoenix location, the pasta was a bit too soft and lacked that proper al dente bite, but this time it was cooked flawlessly. Unfortunately, the desserts were a letdown. We tried the hazelnut torta and the tiramisu, but both were overwhelmingly sweet. The tiramisu tasted soggy, like it had been sitting in the fridge for a long time instead of being freshly made, and the chocolate balls on top felt unnecessary and cheapened the dish. The service was also a bit of a mixed bag. Somehow our desserts were brought out before we had even finished our entrees. As a result, the ice cream on top of the hazelnut torta just sat there melting by the time we were ready for it. It made the end of the meal feel rushed, like they were trying to turn the table over quickly. read more

Amazing Food! I love when I go to a restaurant and feel like I could not have made this better at home and that's exactly how I felt here! They had an excellent election of pastas it was hard to choose! But it was the best Alfredo I have ever had. Also the white truffle garlic bread with ricotta was to die for! I initially felt like it was a high price for bread but it was amazing! Drinks were good as well. I love the location of this restaurant and indoor outdoor feel it's always a great spot to watch the sunset and they were even having a movie night in the grass that night. The service was good as well, friendly and helpful. read more

First time here and wasn't disappointed: Italian meatballs and zucchini chips to start us off. The red sangria was decent but for $12.50 could have been a bit larger. I ordered the dinner fixe:@$45 Italian meatballs, spicy rigatoni vodka and salted caramel bundino. My friend got the short rib mushroom meal. Both were delicious. The whipping cream, chocolate and toffee pieces were my favorite from the dessert. We ended up taking half of our entree home. Service was great-thank you Taylen. Nice atmosphere, not too loud, booths and half booths , manager checked in, nice area. I'll definitely be back for food, not sure about cocktails. read more

Very rarely do I find myself in the west valley, however I visited the North location in Peoria for a family occasion. This North location was absolutely delightful in cuisine and in service. Try their Italian Cobb salad. You won't find too many salads in the Phoenix area as good as that one. I crave it at least once a month...super savory and delectable! read more

I don't think we've ever had a bad time here. Excellent food. Great service. We typically order chicken parm and Alfredo and it's fantastic. Absolutely love the burata - both seasonal options.

I was so excited to try this place until I was terribly disappointed. The bread was cold and not good at all then I had to wait an hour to get my food and when the food came it was so mid! The bolognese tasted like Hamburger helper, the hot pastrami pizza was also not the best. The best part was the greenery? $130ish for the food to be mid then you have to wait an hour. The least you guys can do is give out complimentary bread. Won't be coming here again:( read more

We were here for only dessert in the middle of an afternoon. Staff were very nice and attentive. They have really comfortable and relaxing patio too so it was difficult to leave. We tried their tiramisu, affogato, and latte. Everything was so delicious and satisfying. Can't think of better way to enjoy an afternoon with friends. Will return soon to try their food next time. Although I already know it's good because I frequent their Scottsdale location. Highly recommend!! read more

What a disappointment! From entry to exit. I think everybody that was working was passive aggressive from the hostess to the waitress. The hostess when she realized we were there greeted us then asked if we had a reservation. I said no we did not. She then said it would be about. 20 minutes wait. She then said it could be inside, outside, patio or something else. I said I didn't want outside. She then said well then you can sit in the bar it is open seating, perfect. We find a high top and sit down. The waitress comes over and tells us we are not supposed to be sitting there but she will go ahead and help us. Took forever for her to come take our drink order, our food arrived via another waitperson. He was so nice. Asked if he could get us anything etc. the pizza was pizza. I personally did not like the sauce. I got the cavatelli with ump crab. The food tasted wonderful; however portion size was small. The bottom of the bowl was covered but that was it. I left there unsatisfied and for $26 it should have been at the very least satisfying. I am normally one to take half my food home and that was definitely not the case tonight. The waitress came over a total of four times. Once to tell us we shouldn't be sitting there. Once to take our order Once to refill water and once to drop the check. What a waste of time. read more

We decided to give this restaurant another shot, and unfortunately it was still a big no for me. The $12 focaccia came out burnt and dry, so I had to send it back. I ordered the grilled branzino, but it was actually red snapper, which normally wouldn't have been a huge issue, except the vegetables on the side were ice cold, limp, and honestly looked like they came from a frozen packet. It was also a tiny portion -- basically one small piece of cauliflower and one piece of broccoli. The fish itself was tough, overcooked, and honestly just not good. I ended up swapping it for a pasta dish, which was definitely better, but overall the experience was still really disappointing. read more

Came to enjoy dinner with my love and my son tonight. Nate was our server and he was upbeat, cordial, and super attentive. My water was filled the whole night without me needing to say anything, which was fabulous because I felt like I was parched! He provided us great service with a smile and he definitely made our night memorable. We enjoyed some zuc chips and meatballs for appetizers, both were soooo good! The chips came with a pesto sauce that really made the flavors of the chips more pronounced, and the meatballs tasted so hearty... the sauce they came in was delightful and so was the cheesy goodness they had mixed in and in top. Excellent starters. We then ordered the honey hot smoked prosciutto pizza, as per recommendation by Nate. Since my partner and son don't like arugula, we only put it on half and they opted to add basil instead to their side, which was a tasty substitution. Glad the kitchen was able to do that. For dessert we enjoyed a brookie sundae - came out in a tall martini looking glass with fixings to add to your liking, strawberries, bananas, walnuts, chocolate drizzle and chocolate pearls. We added all and it was fantastic! It was actually pretty busy when we arrived, there was a 20 min wait; which we didn't expect but it went by quickly. The music was chill and we sat outside on the patio. The weather is so nice right now, it was perfect. North has not disappointed, and this time was no exception. We'll be back again; and thank you again to sir Nate for a wonderful evening! read more

Went to lunch with my granddaughter and chose this place as a mid point. I've been before but they blew me away this time. The shrimp scampi appetizer is a meal. I added the seasonal salad (should have written down the ingredients) - it was fabulous! My granddaughter had the chicken piccata, and that is what I'm having next time. She said the pasta was amazing. Love the restaurant- a little cold, but that's why I have a "car jacket". If you haven't been, go soon. read more

This was my first time at this North Italia, and it definitely feels a little different compared to the locations in Phoenix and Scottsdale. The menu has some overlap with familiar items, but there are also noticeable differences. The building is new clean and pretty but the vibe and design don't quite match the cozy feel of the other locations. For food, I ordered the Hot Italian Stromboli and the Prosciutto Pizza (a favorite of ours from the other restaurants). Both were really good, and our drinks were solid as well. I tried the Gin Pomegranate Mule, which tasted nice, but I was a bit disappointed that it came in a regular glass instead of a copper mug it didn't feel much like a "mule" that way. Overall, the customer service was good, and while this location has a different style and menu, it's still worth a visit. read more

I think my sauce was delicious just a little salty but overall good. Love the foccia bread too. My husband loved his dish too. Didn't get too many pics, just enjoying my meals. read more

Over rated... food was good, but not great. We ordered quite a spread as we were excited to come in and try the food. We ordered a side of Glazed Chioggia Beets to share and I got a Gluten Free Hot Honey Pizza; I left off the arugula since it always upsets my stomach and subbed Basil and added the Bomba sauce and a Ricotta Cavatell pasta dish; a white garlic sauce with shrimp and a slight lemon flavor. My daughter ordered Meatball sliders and a bolognese pasta. Our server was also apparently the bartender, so while others got drinks; we couldn't get a refill on a $4.75 Coke. The food was dropped by someone else and the server never came back to check the order. Had she checked- 1-They failed to add Basil into my pizza 2-Forgot the Bomba sauce for my pizza 3-Added arugula into my beets...after I literally said I can't tolerate arugula 4- while we asked the gal that dropped the food for cheese, she brought a little cup for 4 meals...not really enough After trying to eat and not having anymore Coke to drink I decided I'd just take it all home. (We were also fighting a fly off our food the entire time.) When the server came by we told her the missing sauce/arugula/ fly and asked for boxes and a coke to go. She brought the boxes and the check; we sat there for an awkward amount of time with cash waiting... I finally noticed on the bill to scan to pay. I felt she received a decent $22 tip for taking the order and finally getting us a refill and handing us boxes and the bill! Tipping on the total food order is appropriate; not the food AND tax amount added together. I had to pay from the receipt scan bar since she never came back to pick up the cash, I also had to use my phone number to log in and "Agree to the terms" I FINALLY got my Bomba sauce; it was ice cold, I was told that's how it's served. The best part??? The (manager? I'm guessing) was interviewing a cook for an open position and they were sitting right behind us! They literally past our table to go in to see the kitchen. read more

Beautiful building and great ambiance. I am always looking for a great Italian Sub and was looking forward to trying there's. The waitress also recommended it so I was sold. It came and was loaded with some kind of pistachio cream that changed the flavor profile and ruined it for me. Also fell apart because there was so much of it. The meats were alright. Wife had the lasagna but it was so soupy she was also disappointed. Maybe we'll try the pizza if there's a next time... read more

Cute trendy place. Good drink menu. My dish was ok. Plating could have been better. I had the Ricota Cavatelli. It was just served white. No Added color or a bread to sop up the juices.

The food was discussing, extremely oily greasy bland with no flavor pasta wasn't cooked enough and all the meat was hammered. What made the experience even worse than that was the deplorable waitress service as I had to refill my own water cups twice and get my own silverware. no I've had this restaurant and other locations were the service and the food was much better. I don't know what happened to cause it to go downhill so poorly. They truly need to put a drive-through window in this location. if you're unfortunate enough to get the server by the name of cadence, avoid her like the plague. It's easier to baptize cats that it is for her to perform her job adequately. read more

Love love love this place. So much seating, it's cute and cozy. I've sat both inside and outside and I didn't mind either. Servers were friendly and attentive, and I've never had issues. Food is delicious, I always get the garlic truffle bread, calamari, and more. We typically get all appetizers and a salad and share an entree with whoever I'm eating with at the time. Good place for get togethers with friends, date nights, but it's also family friendly. It's pretty pricey but worth it. read more

Manager sent us a gift card, very much appreciated, and she was very apologetic! Will go back!

Unfortunately, this was probably one of the worst dining experiences I've had. We waited about an hour just to get our appetizers, and when they finally came out, there was a straw wrapper inside one of our meatballs. We immediately told our server and the manager. The manager even said that finding a wrapper inside the food was "disgusting" and told us that the meatballs would be taken off our bill. However, when we received the bill, they were still charged. For a $260 meal, I expect much better service and attention to detail. The entire experience took around two hours, with a significant amount of time spent waiting. We were also celebrating a birthday and specifically told the staff, but there was absolutely no acknowledgment of it. On top of everything else, we were never given an itemized receipt, which we found very strange, especially considering there was an issue with our bill. Between the extremely slow service, finding a wrapper in our food, being told the item would be removed and then still being charged, the birthday being completely overlooked, and not receiving an itemized bill, this experience was incredibly disappointing. I expected much more from North Italia, especially for the price. read more

Our second time here and another fabulous experience. I usually try to avoid restaurants on Valentine's Day and Mother's Day because they are very busy days. Hubs made a reservation here in advance for an inside table and we were seated right at our reserved time of 12:15 pm at a really nice, roomy booth. Customers showing up without a reservation when we arrived were seated on the patio. I was thankful we had reserved ahead because it is 100° F today. Service by Caleb G. was excellent. We enjoyed the Mother's Day menu and the brunch menu. We ordered: - Hot Oat Latte x3 - Unsweetened Iced Black Tea - MOTHER'S DAY MENU - For the Table - HONEY GLAZED BERRY BRUSCHETTA - whipped ricotta, crushed marcona almond, torn mint, maldon salt (suggested wine pairing: vermentino, pala "soprasole", Sardinia). Delicious! - ITALIAN MEATBALLS for the table - creamy polenta, rustic marinara, grana padano. Got these again because we enjoyed them last time. Just as good as before. - ZUCCA CHIPS for the table - pesto aioli. Another repeat order that we enjoyed last visit. They were finished! - BOLOGNESE (house specialty) traditional meat sauce, pappardelle, grana padano, wild oregano, evoo. Hubs said this was good! He asked for a cup of chili flakes on the side and said that it tasted better with the chili. - GRILLED BREAD & GOOD OLIVE OIL grana padano & herbs - Hubs got this with his Bolognese and ate all of it. I sampled the good olive oil. It was fine. - TROTTOLE CHICKEN PESTO - sweet basil, shaved garlic, toasted pine nut, crispy caper. My daughter ordered this. She loves a good pesto pasta. She said this was really good. It was a nice sized serving and she took half home for dinner later. - STROZZAPRETI - herb roasted chicken, roasted mushroom, spinach, parmesan cream, toasted pine nut. My other daughter tried this and said it was really good. She also took her other half home for dinner tonight. - ROASTED SALMON - caramelized romanesco, broccolini, fregola, basil pesto, lemon gremolata, affinato. I ordered this because I love a good fish dish. I asked our server if it was wild or farmed salmon and he knew immediately - wild caught. He added that this was his favorite dish out of everything on the menu. This made me happy knowing it would be good. He was correct. It was very delicious and satisfying! Perfectly cooked. read more

Worst first experience ever. The service was horrible. They sat my wife and I outside in the patio area and 3 servers walked by us and didn't say a word. We sat there for 20min. Know one even acknowledged us. It's Sunday 8pm Sept 20. Could understand if they were busy but there was only 2 couples on the patio Not including us. First impressions are warranted for good business. I won't go back there and this was our first time. read more

The good is the atmosphere and the 1st 15 minutes getting your drinks your cocktails and looking over the menu. ALL down hill from there! This was last Saturday night Aug 22th The restaurant wasn't crowded. The waiter, who said he was only working there part time, seemed like he knew what he was doing. We received the drinks and appetizers in a proper time frame. We placed our order and didn't see the waiter for 40 minutes. He came out to check to see how our food was. We didn't have any! He apologized and when to check the kitchen. Came back to say they were platting it and it would be out in 5 minutes. The manager came out with it. Didn't apologize in any way. Every plate was at room temperature. At the point i wanted my check to leave. We did say something to the waiter but it was a waste of time. Good luck read more

10/10 would recommend! We went in for a little date night and truly enjoyed our whole meal! We started with the Cacio e Pepe arancini, which were fried perfectly and had a wonderful balance of flavor. The cheese to pepper ratio was spot in and we appreciated the strong pepper taste. The rice was cooked perfectly as well. We also enjoyed the pesto aioli it came with. For dinner I got the lasagna Bianca and my hubs got the bolognese. The braised beef was extremely tender and the béchamel was so creamy. I'm happy I will have a yummy lunch tomorrow from my left overs lol. My hubs enjoyed his dish as well, and said the pappardelle was cooked al dente as it should! His only feedback was the vessel: a shallow bowl or deep plate would be better for enjoying the bolognese as it would make it easier to scoop up the remaining sauce into the fork, whereas the bowl didn't have a lip or edge to allow for that. (This did not impact the meal of course) For dinner we enjoyed the tiramisu. I personally am not really a fan of tiramisu because of texture but north just makes a quality one. The balance of mouse, to soaked (not soggy) lady fingers, and crunch from the chocolate pearls truly makes for a satisfying bite texturally and flavor wise. Overall it was a wonderful experience from the nice smiles we were greeted with at the door to our server. He was very kind and helped us make a decision on meals. We cannot wait to come back especially because it's a bonus having one closer to us! read more
