Downtown Italian Restaurant North Italia Is Now Open | Eater Austin

"Sitting at 500 West 2nd Street, this Drake-approved North Italia from Fox Restaurant Concepts opens in downtown Austin next to sister restaurant Flower Child along the up-and-coming 2nd Street culinary corridor. The menu follows the chain’s contemporary Italian approach—pizza, pasta and other Italian dishes—and the downtown dining room, like the Domain location, boasts ample patio space; one wall is covered by a notable mural by local artist Roshi K. I found North particularly notable for its happy hour, which pairs a bottle of wine with a pizza or a chef’s board for $20, and for offering six hours of weekend brunch from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. I also note the posted hours: 11 a.m.–10 p.m. Monday–Thursday, 11 a.m.–11 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m.–11 p.m. Saturday, and 10 a.m.–10 p.m. Sunday." - Erin Russell
