Wonderful Italian restaurant with incredible food and vibes. The parking lot nearby the restaurant is valet only, but in the overall plaza there is plenty of free parking. The food is fantastic, both the pizza and pasta were cooked to perfection and very delicious. They have a large indoor dining area as well as a large bar are outdoor patio area for watching sports. It gets quite busy so best to book a reservation ahead of time. Staff are all very friendly and helpful.

My son and his family took me here for a birthday dinner. It was our first time. The employees were very friendly and accommodating. Our server, Melanie?, was fantastic and had a fun personality. The menu offered a variety of choices and the drinks very extensive. Everything we ordered was delicious! They even make their own pasta!!! The comped tiramisu was nice delicious touch! I highly recommend making reservations cause it appears to be a very popular place! The vibe is very casual but the prices are not.

Excellent Italian spot from an established chain. Food and service are excellent. Definitely try to get reservations on peak hours. It's valet parking in the front, and it can be difficult to get parking nearby (but plenty of parking in the parking structure behind the gym). Food- 5 stars wild shrimp scampi- standard but delicious squid ink tonnarelli- perfectly cooked and bright. I would recommend sharing the pasta dishes, especially with contrasting heavy and bright dishes. the squid ink and braised short rib were excellent going back and forth between them braised short rib marsala- buttery, fatty, goodness. salted caramel budino- I couldn't get enough of the dessert. Well balanced and delicious Service- 5 stars Food came out quickly and the servers and bartenders were really attentive. Bottom Line Excellent Italian restaurant from an established chain. Great food and service and always consistent

I recently visited North Italia and overall had a good experience. The vibe is great—lively, stylish, and a really nice spot to hang out with friends or for a casual date night. The standout dish for me was the cacio e pepe arancini—crispy on the outside, creamy and flavorful on the inside. Definitely a must-order. The pasta was also pretty good and well-executed. That said, the Classico plate (charcuterie board) was a bit disappointing. Nothing really stood out, and it didn’t feel worth the price. Service was okay, but our server could have been more attentive. There were a few times we had to wait longer than expected. Overall, a solid spot with a great atmosphere and some really good dishes. I’d come back, just skip the Classico plate next time.
