Because of some extenuating circumstances, we decided to have a Valentine's Day dinner this past Saturday instead of tonight. The inside is gorgeous with a beautiful view of downtown Dallas, which is more than enough to visit this place!
I ordered a drink with various coconut rums, pineapple, aperol, fresh lemon, and black walnut. One of the best drinks I've ever had! Everything was so well balanced, and having walnut in a drink was something I didn't prepare for; that's okay though!
For the appetizer, we ordered mozzarella balls with risotto inside. They were a delicious appetizer despite being a little pricey ($14 for 6). The sauce included was a pesto aioli, and it complemented the balls well!
Although it's not on the menu, I ordered fettuccine alfredo and added eggplant on top. The noodles have to be the best I've ever had! I loved how thick the fettuccine was, and it tasted so fresh! My partner loved the chicken parmesan, and I tried the noodles and loved those too!
For dessert, we split tiramisu; I have never had it in a bowl before, only sliced. I loved it! The powder on top was strong and it hit the back of my throat, but I didn't care! It was perfectly sweet and light. We almost went with the butter cake, but we are glad with our choice of tiramisu instead!
After I finished my meal, I came to the realization that North Italia really knows how to balance flavors in everything they serve, and that is a difficult task! This is commendable, and I sincerely wanted them to know that I fully appreciated this!
Service was great, and our waitress was attentive and was fun! I'll be honest: my expectations for North Italia were pretty low because I felt like I wouldn't like "modern" Italian food. However, I was pleasantly shocked and surprised that it was the complete opposite! Overall, I will return to have another wonderful meal here, and I highly recommend this place for a date night!
