    Squid ink pasta and braised short rib lumache
    Rachel K.

    Beautiful spot, our go-to for some good pasta. The pizza is great, our favorite are the hot honey and funghi. The pasta is even better- our faves are the squid ink and braised rib lumache! Plenty of seating inside plus if you park in the colonial garage, you get parking validation. Can't wait to be back!

    Simple salad + salmon
    Ainsley E.

    I guess this place is a chain that does it well. Good pizza (tried the margherita and the sauce slapped), salad options (I liked the seasonal veg salad though I would ask for dressing on the side, they always overdress). They have a great drinks and wine list (including mocktails). I'd return!

    Placed the order online and the pickup process went without a hitch. The eggplant Parmesan was nice and light. No oozing water or sogginess. The pasta didn't have a strong pesto taste. The pine nuts and capers didn't really add a contrasting crunch or flavors. It was rather bland and everything tasted mushy. I found some shreds of chicken that looked and tasted ropey / dry and stringy. My biggest gripe is the portion sizes of the food. As you can see in the pictures, the eggplant Parmesan arrived in a giant container looking like I already ate 75% of it. I understand it's supposed to be an appetizer and such, but it hardly had any sauce or anything beyond what was literally pictured. The pasta situation was the same. Few spoonfuls of mushy pasta and your meal is over. The order came with nothing else. No utensils, no accompanying salads or bread. For a $50 takeaway meal, I expected better than this. Would I order from here again? Probably not. I think the food is overpriced for what it is. There are many nicer Italian restaurants in the area with similar price points that provides better quality of food and value.

    Calamari Fritti
    Abby B.

    Visited North Italia with my family for a night out. The restaurant is spacious and can accommodate large groups. Since it is located in RTC, it is nice to walk around while waiting for a table if there is a wait. We started with the calamari which was pretty good. I ordered the house bolognese for my entree. As a pasta lover, I thought it had good flavor but it was not particularly memorable for a house special. Other dishes ordered by my group were decent. Some were better than others, but overall I think there was a lack of consistency between being good and others just being okay. Service was fine. I had a good time and would be open to returning to try other menu items.

    Hot Honey & Smoked Prosciutto

    Been many times however it was little salty this time but, service was good. Talked about allergy with Mushroom and recommended other food selection.

    North Italia was better than I was expecting! I typically dont go to big chains like this because I have low expectations. I should probably reconsider this stance! The staff was very friendly, welcoming, and checked in on us multiple times! We had a large group of 16. They were accommodating to the size of the party as well as the rate at which we ordered. Since we got some appetizers, I got a salad and the meatballs and polenta as my meal. The calamari was a little chewy but seasoned well and came with a zesty dipping sauce. I really enjoyed my meatballs and polenta. The meatballs were cooked perfectly and covered in a rich tomato sauce. The polenta was very creamy and not overwhelming. I had to try to cacio e pepe martini. It was fun to try- very interesting, however I dont think I would order it again.

    Seasonal Butter Cake - coconut butter cake with caramel drizzle
    Preeti S.

    Conveniently located in rest in town center. I was here to shop and I was lucky to get the reservation for the same day. Reservations can be difficult especially on weekends so better to plan ahead. I had the grilled Bronzino. It came with some veggies and a nice sauce.. It was pretty good. 6.5/10 for me. It had a hit of sweetness bec of which I deducted some points. For desert I had the butter cake. The flavor they had that day was the coconut butter cake with caramel drizzle, and a vanilla gelato. Coconut is not my favorite, but I decided to try it. I am so glad I it. It hit the spot.

    Seared Scallops
    Jenna T.

    We came during happy hour and ordered the zucchini chips and couple of cocktails then decided to stay for dinner. The food was incredible, but the service was lack luster. The restaurant was not busy as all, yet we were ignored by the two staff at the hostess station when we arrived, not even so much as a glance or a return hello - so much so that we had to approach the bartender for a table. Then when it came time for the check, I had to ask several staff for our check. When we finally got the check it was not itemized and the total did not reflect the happy hour item pricing.

    Pizza !!! 9/10
    Lauren G.

    Really good food with solid service. We had a reservation so we were seated right away. We tried the pizza, meatballs, eggplant Parmesan and chicken pesto pasta. I will come back for happy hour.

    Braised rib marsala
    Demond S.

    I was in Reston for a work event and we had dinner at North Italia. This was my first visit to the location in Reston. I had once visited a location in Miami, Brickell District previously. The Miami location was great so my expectations for the Reston location were high. The restaurant decor made me feel like I having a meal I someone's Italian kitchen or market. The staff were great and they were able to accommodate my party of ~20 people over 2 tables. My only issue was that service was slow and getting appetizers, food orders, and drinks between 2 tables with 1 server who was also servicing other tables slowed things down quite a bit. I ordered the braised ribs Marsala. The dish was very good. The ribs were very tender. The portion of ribs/meal was smaller than I would have imagined. Nevertheless, the food was great and I would definitely visit again.

    A dollop of gelato
    Jaye S.

    As a frequent and loyal customer of the North Italia location in Tysons, we were excited to order from the Reston location for convenience--but unfortunately, it was a huge mistake. We placed a takeout order specifically for our favorite dessert: the butter cake. What we received was incredibly disappointing. Instead of the well-packaged, thoughtfully separated toppings we've come to expect from the Tysons location, the Reston team served everything dumped together in one container. The rich chocolate fudge and berry compote were soaked into the cake, leaving it soggy and unappetizing. To top it off--literally--there was a single, tiny dollop of pistachio gelato, barely enough for one bite. At Tysons, they always separate each topping into its own container, preserving the integrity of the dessert and ensuring it travels well. They also provide a generous, adult-sized scoop of gelato. Reston's presentation was sloppy and careless by comparison. Honestly, I was shocked this was presented to a customer at all. What should have been a treat turned out to be a complete disappointment and a waste of money. We won't be returning to the Reston location again.

    Italian Meatballs
    Jin P.

    The food here exceeded my expectations. Visiting for the first time I would say I would have to come back! The service was exceptional as they catered to not only us but my 1 year old daughter. The ambiance was also very nice with noise levels that were not too loud. Overall very good experience and will definitely be back.

Highly suggest the lychee mojito!! every person in our four-person girl group had two of these with deliciously plump fresh lychee on top of fresh mint, limes and just the right amount of rum to make you feel all warm inside! The decor was really nice too! Modern with a touch of fun and eclectic. Fortunately, my friends had already been here before, so I had plenty of good suggestions to consider. I opted for a plate that was heavy in vermicelli noodles, and upon ordering the server who took my order highly suggested that I order the woven vermicelli meal that came with lemon grass beef. I am so happy I listened to him because the dish was overflowing with delicious flavor and before I knew it, my plate was completely empty. Service was very kind, prompts and knew all the right suggestions to offer for a high quality experience. Plenty of delicious options for appetizers from classic favorites like fried spring rolls and rice paper summer rolls to savory entrées like short rib, hot pot Vietnamese noodle soups and fried rices. I can see why this place has quickly become a local favorite and why the ratings are all very positive! Lived up to the hype for sure! Thank you so much for an awesome dinner this evening! I really look forward to returning very soon.

The standout for me was the patatas bravas--perfectly crispy potatoes paired with a spectacular garlic aioli. The truffle sheep's cheese was also outstanding, rich and flavorful, although the truffle honey didn't quite deliver on its promise--I could barely taste the truffle. It also only came with one slice of toasted bread, but thankfully the bread service helped stretch the dish (and even then, there was still cheese left over). The spiced beef empanadas were nicely crisp and satisfying. The grilled octopus, however, was just okay--slightly over-charred, which made it hard to fully appreciate the flavor. On the other hand, the paella salvaje was excellent, loaded with chicken, gaucho sausage, pork belly, chickpeas, and pickled onions. Definitely a must-order--but be sure to put it in early since it takes a while to prepare. For dessert, the flan catalan was a great finish--not overly sweet and nicely balanced. The wine list is another highlight, with plenty of good options available by the glass. We ordered the paella first and followed it with four tapas, which ended up being plenty of food for four people. Pricing came out to about $45 per person before tip, which felt reasonable for the quality and quantity. The interior has a warm, stylish vibe with lots of wood and dark tones, though it does feel a bit cramped--tables and booths are quite close together, and it can get pretty loud. Service was friendly and well-paced. It does get busy during peak hours, so reservations are highly recommended (they use Tock). Overall, a great spot for tapas with a lively atmosphere--just be prepared for some noise and tight seating.

Take out order came out right on time. No dessert was offered or suggested. Would we come back? Probably not but we gave it a try.
