First time experiencing North Italia. The food here was absolutely perfect. They had all the Sunday football games on. All of their sandwiches are definitely shareable. Skipped appetizers this time, but will def try next time. The salad (Italian Cobb) was a 10. The quantity and quality of this place has unmatched. The service was a 10. Everything came out perfectly, our server was informed on their nut allergies which is super helpful. The design of the place was so unique to WC. I'm a fan of a nice high ceiling restaurant. Will be back soon. read more

I'm a regular here and keep coming back for good reason. The food is consistently excellent. The butter cake is a standout. It's not overly sweet, comes with ice cream, and has the perfect consistency. It just melts in your mouth. The pesto chicken garlic knots are another favorite. They're marked as an appetizer, but honestly they could be a meal on their own. The chicken is really juicy, and the pesto sauce puts a unique spin on it. The prosciutto elevates the whole dish. The Italian grinder is amazing. I've ordered it more than once. Fair warning: it's a bit higher in calories, but it's very filling. You only need half a sandwich. The braised lasagna is very flavorful and hearty. If you're a lasagna person, you'd love it. Last but not least the shrimp scampi. I get this every time. One order gets me full. It's something that can be shareable, but if you love shrimp you'll want it all to yourself. The ambiance is amazing and all the staff are friendly and accommodating. You can't go wrong here. If you're looking for solid Italian food in Walnut Creek, this is the place. read more

Came here back in April for my birthday and had a good time. Wanted to come back today since my husband and I were wanting some pizza and pasta. We were met with some rude hostesses around 7:30pm today. We had our baby in a stroller and a dog so requested outdoor seating. Even with some empty low tops she said they were full and it would be a 30 minute wait with attitude. We ended up leaving. Won't be back. read more

This place is all hype. It's not bad, but it's your generic pizza and pasta place. I did however feel the food did not hit, the way I wanted it too. Like my pasta dish felt like it was missing garlic or salt. The pizza we got had a very flimsy dough, I basically had to roll my slice to eat it. Overall, food is okay. Let's just say it wouldn't be my recommendation if somebody in the group chat say let's get Italian food. read more

Was craving Italian food and wanted to try the local North Italia that opened up in The Nut. We've been to the location in Scottsdale and really enjoyed the food, but coming here was super disappointing. So we called for a reservation, and was offered one in 30 mins or 2 hours. Opted for the sooner, they asked for our number and confirmed our info, I'm assuming they pulled the info from Open Table. But once we arrived, had no record of us calling. Told that "we don't know what happened, but we just changed shifted and might have gotten lost in the shuffle." So ended up just having to get out on the waitlist. While waiting, from what I could overhear, they were having a lot of logistical problems. Once seated, ended up ordering calamari app, crushed meatball ragu, seared scallops, and chicken tenders for the kids. Was hoping to get the lasagna, but was told they ran out for the day since it was Labor Day. It was 5pm. They also ran out of fries for the kids meal. But the kids were insistent on eating chicken tenders so we ordered it, thinking they would sub the starch since they were out of fries. Ended up coming just chicken tenders and had to request if there would be some kind of substitute since we're still getting charged full price of the kids meal. Overall, a disappointing meal. The quality of the food was not as good as their Scottsdale location. Probably won't be back for a while as there are better options if you're craving Italian food. read more

I have been dying to try North Italia ever since their grand opening! I finally got a chance to try a few weeks ago during their happy hour. My boyfriend and I made a reservation a week day during happy hour. The ladies at the front desk were kind and welcoming. We did realized we should have specified we were there for happy hour given we had to be moved outside to participate in it. I could see how this might be a turn off for some during extreme weather but for the time being, it was fine for us. Our waiter said he'd bring out menus for us but seemingly forgot so we took a look at the menu from our phones. By the time he brought the right menu to us, we were ready to order. We decided to try the margherita pizza and calamari. Both were so tasty! I particularly loved how cheesy the pizza was. The calamari with the lemon had me keep going in for more! Overall, the atmosphere made the experience feel both comfortable and lively. I'd love to come back for their dinner menu some time soon! read more

North Italia - Margherita Pizza & Calamari Fritti - Italian Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

Stopped by North Italia in Walnut Creek on a Sunday, and the area was definitely lively with lots of people out and about. Parking was pretty easy with two garages conveniently located on either side of the street. We were seated promptly, and my first impression of the restaurant was great. The space is really nice with a good ambiance, a large open bar, outdoor seating, and a huge open kitchen in the back. Overall, it has a really nice atmosphere. We started with the calamari fritti, which had a great presentation and came with pickled veggies, warm marinara, a really good aioli, and grilled lemon. It had a lot of flavor, but unfortunately was a little too salty. Without the extra salt, it would have been really good. For our mains, we ordered the bolognese and the chicken parmesan sandwich. The bolognese was pretty good, although for $28 the portion was on the smaller side. The chicken parmesan sandwich was good, but the BF would have preferred it prepared more like a traditional chicken parm sandwich. It would have been a lot better without the aioli. It was overpowering. Nonetheless, he enjoyed it enough that he said he would order it again without the aioli. Overall, we enjoyed the atmosphere and our experience. There are definitely a few other things on the menu we want to try, so we'll be back! read more

Came here for the bestie's birthday dinner. Yes, it's loud. But that just means everyone's having a good time! Our server, Gerrick (sp?), was a good sport and a great server for our party of 7. Started with the meatballs, brought a bottle of wine and ordered beer and cocktails, too. Shared a couple pizzas for the table (hot honey and the pig were equally delicious!). Between all the pasta, pizza and fish dishes, everyone enjoyed their meal and had no complaints. Would definitely come here again. read more

I just found this place.. I haven't been to Walnut Creek for a long time.. once I'm more mobile - I'll come and explore more.. I used to come to Ike's place often, that street has a really nice vibe to it and parking on the roof - parking is no so bad.. We went to the movies and then we went into the Cheesecake Factory - we have a love of cheesecake . I'm So happy we did.. We then went out to walk and I caught this fabulous smell of Italian food.. mmmmmmmmmmm. I grew up in Philly and that really brought back some good memories .. We stopped , looked at the menu and went In. My spidey senses were overwhelmed with mmmmmmm . Everything smelled soooo good .. we looked at the big menu and went for it ..: We got the calimari and the fungi pizza.. let's just say .. yessssss.. to both ... I will be back.. The menu has lots to choose from and a wide open kitchen - there is glass there so you can have seats up close .. and see what's going on We sat in a booth a little small for me.. no worries , I can't walk well right now, so it's me , not the space.. Service was good , very nice , polite .. It's clean.. well decorated and has indoor and outdoor seating.. Let's say a yes.. and yes again. We will be back.. the fungi pizza was thin- I didn't see if they have thick crust . I'll do more research. Come by- you will be happy you did . Edited 8/16 .. I see that I wrote this hastily with voice . read more

Beautiful decor and I liked the open concept of a bar inside or outside. We chose inside bar because it was a rather chilly day and the Happy Hour menu is served in the bar. We both enjoyed the handcrafted cocktails including a Sicilian Margarita and the Pomegranate Mule. Of the four dishes we ordered, the only dish that was not salty was the Margherita Flatbread. read more

Indoor and outdoor ambiance is a 5/5 I tried their garlic bread, calamari, and eggplant Parmesan and of the 3 the eggplant parm was a 5/5. Seriously you could hardly taste it was eggplant, it was deliciously crispy and the sauce was so good. braised short rib 5/5 perfectly tender, nicely plated. Ricotta Cavatelli - 4/5 I got mine shrimp only no crab bc I didn't want it to be too fishy and it was delicious, but the portion was extremely small. Service was good, apparently they don't sing happy birthday here so if you're expecting that on a birthday they will not do it but your table as a whole can. read more

2nd time here today and it was absolutely delicious. The experience was different than my first time. Ordered the Garlic Knot Meatball (sliders) with a side of greens. Nicely seasoned and tossed. Sliders were nice and chewy garlic bread and flavorful meatball filling. The butter cake was the high of the meal. Never expected it to taste this GD good. Warm, crispy edges, the crunch, the moist center, the banana slices, the VB gelato, the caramel, and crumbles of crust sprinkled throughout like WHAT. Hands down, easily one of my new favorite desserts. read more

North Italia has room to grow, but sadly on my first visit I found the food and drink disappointing compared to other Italian restaurants nearby. I visited on Saturday, April 25th, with a 3pm reservation and it was still quite busy (but also the restaurant was new). We were seated promptly at a table where we could see into the kitchen. I was really impressed with the ambiance, decor, and the bar area and patio looked very inviting! It took a little while for our server to take our order. Unlike other Italian restaurants in the area, bread wasn't brought out automatically, so we ordered the White Truffle Garlic Bread (4.5/5) to start. This was very tasty and we even had leftovers, but sadly this is the only part of the meal I liked. I got the Sunday Night Lasagna (2.5/5), that has some short rib and sausage inside, and it was disappointing. Just not memorable and I wouldn't order it again. I also got a La Spezia (2/5) mocktail as a drink and it wasn't very good. I would consider coming back to try the bar area or patio since the vibe is really nice, and to give another pasta dish or the pizza a chance...But Downtown Walnut Creek has so many Italian restaurants now, and at least 3 of them have better food. read more

A quick stop that turned into a reminder of why this place is always busy. Stopped by with The Kid after a doctor's appointment and the Hercules Cultural Festival. We didn't have a reservation, but were seated immediately in the bar area at one of the high-top tables. Our server was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. We had already eaten earlier in the day and were just looking for a little something, so we ordered the House-Made Focaccia, which is topped with wild oregano, rosemary, and sea salt. We also added the House Bomba Sauce. The focaccia was excellent. Crispy on the outside, soft and pillowy on the inside, with amazing flavor from the herbs and sea salt. The House Bomba Sauce wasn't really for us personally, but I could absolutely see the appeal. It added a rich, savory element that many people would probably love. Unfortunately, because The Kid has allergies to nuts, tree nuts, and seeds, we weren't able to try the Sicilian Pistachio Pesto Whipped Ricotta option. For drinks, I ordered the famous Sicilian Margarita. It was delicious but definitely stronger than I expected, so I switched to a glass of Moscato, which was much more my speed. The Kid ordered one of their zero-proof drinks and really enjoyed it. The decor is beautiful with large murals throughout the restaurant, and the menu offers something for everyone. They also have an extensive wine list and a dessert menu that definitely caught my eye for next time. Exceptional service, great atmosphere, and delicious food. Looking forward to coming back for a full dinner experience. read more

We had a great dinner experience for my daughters birthday. Jose was awesome and brought all the great suggestions about the menu. Gotta get the focaccia but our crew was not fond of the ricotta add on. The pasta dishes are all amazing! The salads are fresh and lighter for sure. The meatballs are delicious and for the picky eaters they have plain fries?! Great wine list. Fun cocktails. Dessert sundae to finish the night! read more

The space, indoors and out, is gorgeous. Beautiful vibe on a Saturday night. It was packed. We were told 50 minute wait so we were looking for another place but they got us in in about 10-15 minutes. The service was great but the menu needs some work still. The descriptions should match. The funghi had onions (though the menu did not mention it, and I had told the waitress that I have a near allergy aversion to onions). I only ate one slice and gave it away to the other couple I was with for home. The truffle garlic bread, both in its presentation and taste, is just amazing and made our night. We got a second order. The desserts were disappointing (again, the butter cake should have mentioned banana because my friend hates banana). The drinks were meh. It's right next to The Cheesecake Factory and in a huge space. I hope they fine tune everything soon because there is so much potential. I would definitely come back for that truffle garlic bread even if I have nothing else! read more

I don't normally done by myself, I sat at the bar and Cynthia was my server. She made me feel very welcome and checked in with me often. I had the BRAISED SHORT RIB LUMACHE and to drink the Ciao, Bella. The pasta was exceptional. Had wonderful flavor. When the server set it down he said this is our best pasta. The drink was just the right amount of alcohol. I decided to order BOMBOLINI for dessert, to go. I love Italian donuts so cant wait to try them. The decor and bar was clean and I love the openness of this restaurant. I cant wait to come back and try something else. read more

We decided to stop by on a whim for a drink and a small bite without making a reservation. Since the restaurant was busy, they took our name and told us they would call us in about 45 minutes. To their credit, they called us almost exactly 45 minutes later. We ended up having a couple of drinks and a pizza, and everything was excellent. The pizza was delicious, the drinks were great, and the overall quality of the food was impressive. The restaurant was clean, the atmosphere was lively, and the staff were friendly and professional. Even though it was quite busy, everything seemed well organized. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience and definitely worth 5 stars. We would happily come back again. read more

Great Customer Service and food. This restaurant is very nicely established. I also like the upscale vibrant atmosphere.

Recently came here for lunch on a weekend. We were able to get a table without reservations. We ordered 3 cocktails, the truffle garlic bread, calamari, spicy rigatoni and the funghi pizza. Everything came out hot and delicious. Service is attentive and friendly as well. Overall, I would recommend to anyone looking for Italian food. I only took away a star because I noticed they did their tip percentages on the after tax amount and businesses should be doing the tip based off the check amount before taxes. read more

I originally planned on ordering one of the steak dishes, but they were already sold out. I then switched to the chicken dish, only to find out that was unavailable too, so the restaurant must've been pretty busy even though it was only around 7 PM. I ended up getting the vodka pasta instead, and honestly, it was really good. The sauce was creamy and cheesy without being too heavy or overwhelming. The roasted salmon was also delicious, nicely crispy on the bottom while still not feeling greasy. The pesto pasta was decent as well, but since we ordered three different pastas to share, it started to feel like too much and I eventually got tired of it. read more

Lowkey disappointed of this place. We got mimosas and they gave us half a carafe of juice which I thought was weird. It looked like someone just drank it and they put it on our table. Service was extremely slow we just awkwardly sat for an hour before even getting drinks even. My food didn't come even after all my friends food came in so I just ended up cancelling my order. We also upgraded the pizza crust and we didn't get the upgrade. She did not table touch at all. The portions were small for how much it was. It was extremely disappointing. Beautiful place but they need to work on so much to actually be successful. Sad. I took my friend here for her birthday and I feel so bad about this. Expected more. read more

First time here, and it did not disappoint! We first learned about this chain restaurant while visiting Las Vegas. We were so impressed by the food quality and service, and our family is so happy that they opened a new location in Walnut Creek. There's a free parking structure nearby, just a five-minute walk from the restaurant. We ordered the mushroom pizza, a squid ink pasta, fried calamari, and the signature focaccia bread. All the dishes were quite delicious. The vibe is excellent! No particular dress code for this restaurant--either dress up or dress down is okay. Reservations are highly recommended on weekends. read more

We tried to make reservations online, but the restaurant was fully booked. Luckily, I called and found open seating at the bar. We wanted to try this new location because it was a favorite of ours in Virginia, specifically for their fabulous Farmers Market Chef's Board and its amazing vegetables. Unfortunately, that option is no longer on the menu. They only offer a meat version now, which was not for us. The new location is nice, featuring large shared tables in front of a few small flat screens over the bar. Service was good. We enjoyed the Pizza Combo paired with a bottle of wine and a few appetizers. Everything was enjoyable, and this is a great place to come with friends for a meal. read more

I had a reservation for 5:15pm Long story short, their logistics seem to be off. It was obvious from arrival. The lobby area & host staff just seemed stressed & confused. We were sat at 5:15 and no table touch for 30 minutes.... We were chatting & having a good time catching up so we didn't notice at first. Flagged down help & it appears our server called out. A different server (nice guy) said he'd help in meanwhile (which felt like we didn't have a person , sorry hard to explain). Anyway , just not the experience we were expecting, especially with a reservation. Con: - Service (not our server) but that fact that we never had an official server, no one knew ... etc -The food was mid, needed more seasoning/flavor. -talked to the manager after, David ... eh he could care less, waived a dessert as birthday (it was already our birthday, did us no favors) I would've expected a gift card for a better experience, or massive deduction to our bill , but no Pro: -the restaurant is drop dead gorgeous 10/10. It feels bougie & the kind of place to celebrate your 40th (or 50th) birthday, lol. -I'd say parking is a pro, very busy area BUT the garage is right there & ive never had a problem parking (I've never been able to get a meter on the street)... I think it's $3.50 an hour, but whatever read more

Rounding up a bit here. Tried North Italia for lunch on a Friday, and was seated right away. We were given our menus, and had a good amount of time to go through. Our server stopped by to take drink orders, and other than water, I got a cappuccino. We tried the following - Margherita pizza - we wanted to try a pizza to share, and the server recommended the margherita pizza. Good stuff usually, but I wasn't too fond of this one. The pizza was really soft, and the cheese seemed stuck such that it took more effort to pick up the slices. Flavors were alright, but the sogginess wasn't pleasant. Arancini - 6 lil balls to an order with a side of sauce. Both the balls and sauce had good flavor, but the balls were a bit too salty for my liking. Italian Meatballs - my fave thing I tried this time. The meatballs itself were bland and they get pretty solid if not eaten right away. The ricotta and sauce was everything here. So good with the protein balls. Cappuccino - loved the size and cup. Came with a lil spoon and a couple sugars. Flavor was alright, a bit lighter than I usually take, but it was good. Loved the atmosphere / decor here, and service was great for us. I'd love to try some other items on the menu, notably various pastas and other appetizers, and of course, cocktails! read more

3.5 stars Finally checked out North Italia Walnut Creek's newest spot and I had no idea it's owned by The Cheesecake Factory, but it totally makes sense since it's right next door. Made a reservation just in case, and I still can't believe it took over the old Tilly's space. The layout is gorgeous super spacious with a beautiful outdoor seating area right in front. Staff was friendly, and honestly, such a fun way to keep my birthday celebrations going. My friend couldn't make my birthday dinner, so she wanted to take me out, and I had missed another friend's birthday... so I told her I'd take her out instead. It all worked out since we're all in the same friend group anyway. Food-wise, a few standouts for me: Classic alla vodka Kale salad Burrata House-made donuts The squid ink tonnarelli, though, wasn't my favorite it tasted undercooked and a bit too firm. Overall, I'm definitely down to come back and try more dishes next week with my family. read more

Beautiful restaurant conveniently nestled next to the parking garage near Pressed Juicery and Buckhorn Grill. We opted to sit on the patio since it was such a gorgeous day, and it made the experience even better. We started with three Italian Spritz for the table-- light, refreshing, and the perfect way to kick things off. The Chef's Board was a standout; it had a great mix of sweet, savory, and crunchy elements. We devoured it and will definitely be ordering it again next time!!! For mains, the Italian Cobb was delicious, but the panzanella completely stole the show. I honestly wish I had ordered that instead!! It was not only more flavorful, but also felt like a better value compared to similar options at Buckhorn, making North Italia a strong choice for anyone deciding between the two. I ordered the chicken parm sandwich-- while it wasn't my personal fav, the portion size was super generous. Service was fantastic. Our server was attentive throughout, and a manager even stopped by to check in and gather feedback, which made the experience feel extra welcoming. Overall, such a warm and inviting atmosphere. I'm already looking forward to coming back and trying more items on the menu. read more

Giving this place a 3.5 because I've had better Italian food. Visited this place with girlfriends. It's a spacious and contemporary restaurant. While the portions could have been a bit larger compared to some other restaurants, the spicy rigatoni was delicious and had a perfectly balanced sauce. The prosciutto and fig pizza was a delightful combination. The calamari appetizer was the right size. Their drink specials complemented our meals well. However, the noise level was quite high, a 12+ on a scale of 1-10. We literally had to sit close and yell to each other. Hahaha! read more

Came here with a group of eight to celebrate a friend's birthday, and I left with pretty mixed feelings. The biggest saving grace of the evening was easily the service. Right off the bat, our reservation was a little puzzling. Despite knowing we had a party of eight, we were seated in what was essentially a booth better suited for six. Rather than rearranging the table, one of our friends ended up with a chair awkwardly placed at the end of the booth, making the seating feel cramped for the entire meal. Not exactly the most comfortable setup for a birthday dinner. Food-wise, it was a bit of a roller coaster. The calamari unfortunately missed the mark. It arrived overcooked, dry, and rubbery, which made for a disappointing start. On the complete opposite end of the spectrum, the truffle garlic bread was phenomenal. Crispy, buttery, fragrant, and packed with flavor, it's easily something I'd order again without hesitation. I went with the ricotta cavatelli with lump crab and shrimp. The flavors were excellent, and the seafood tasted fresh, but the pasta itself leaned a little past al dente and was slightly overcooked. Still a very enjoyable dish overall. For the price point and being in Walnut Creek, I expected the food to be a bit more memorable. It wasn't bad by any means. It just didn't quite live up to the expectations that come with the atmosphere and menu prices. What really kept this from being a lower rating was the staff. Everyone we interacted with was warm, attentive, and genuinely accommodating throughout the evening. They handled our large party well and made sure drinks stayed full and everyone felt taken care of. I'd probably come back for the truffle garlic bread and the hospitality, but I'd temper my expectations when it comes to the food. Great service can absolutely elevate a dining experience, and in this case, it was the highlight of the night. read more

The white truffle garlic bread is an absolute must-order. The hot honey & smoked prosciutto pizza was also delicious, with a great balance of sweet and savory. That said, the spicy rigatoni vodka fell a bit flat for me and lacked the flavor I was expecting. On the bright side, the service was excellent and the ambiance made for a really nice dining experience. Overall, I enjoyed it, but it did feel a little pricey for what you get. read more

North Italia is a nice, modern and clean sibling to the next door Cheesecake Factory. The service is friendly and efficient. Overall the food is decent. The chopped chicken salad was very filling with a generous amount of chicken and bacon. As everyone knows, everything is better with bacon. The bolognese pasta was alright. The pasta was slightly chewy and the sauce needs something to elevate the flavor. It just didn't really excel for $27. read more

I wish it had a crunch so I ordered the white truffle garlic bread. So yummy with the crunch and extra dollop of cheese. The short ribs are melt in your mouth so good.

Wow! We were there for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon and the place was humming! Large - very large!beautifully laid out space, indoor and outdoor. They are here to stay, baby! Serious investment in this brand new restaurant. They do need a few more weeks under their belt to smooth some things out, but they were minor - like mixing up Lunch and Dinner menus. There were four of us and we ordered family style. - chopped chicken salad, actually delicious! Enough to share. - spicy Italian grinder sandwich with Parmesan French fries. Glad we were splitting it! Sandwich was excellent, the extra crispy fries were better! - spicy rigatoni vodka: good, not awesome. Could have been a touch spicier. Our waiter and his helpers were doing fine. The kitchen seemed a little backed up as there was a long wait between the salad and the entrees - and the two entrees came out separately about five minutes apart. Hence, they lost a star. Definitely a nice upscale place with plenty of parking around. Will return! read more
