North Italia

The q in this place is long but worth the wait. Food is great, ambience is fun and alive and service is impeccable. Ordered the truffle bun(really good!), calamari, scampi (dip the bread on the sauce that’s yummy too!) steak risotto, bolognese pasta, ceasar salad, short ribs pasta with a couple of beer. Highly recommended. Everything was tasty and delicious.

The salad was thrown onto the plate, the mussels were yummy in flavor, the squid pasta wasn’t the best on presentation or flavor and Wasn’t served hot enough. The funghi pizza was the best on the table. Yummy crust, cheese and mushrooms tasted great! Services was horrible. Very slow and often time forgot what we asked for.. hot tea.. peppers.. just the fact that we were even there. That was the hugest downfall

So we all had the tomato soap for appetizers. I ate the Prosciutto pizza and it was great. The sun-dried tomatoes on it were actually kind of sweet.

Pretty tasty pasta. Brookie dessert a huge disappointment. And the prices. $6 for an espresso... seriously? $114 for 3 pasta dishes and one dessert, couldn't afford to get any drinks

We ordered a squid pasta and a bolonege pasta. Noodles are so chewy and delicious. Service and vibe are also romantic and nice. Thanks!

As with other instances of the brand the place is lively and fun, noisy but not too much. The screens at the bar do not add anything on the contrary they devalue a bit the place but serves a purpose for lonely traveling sales reps. The food is good but in this case the carpaccio and the polenta were too salty due to the Parmesan used. It might be a general issue as my neighbor sent their vegetable side dish back as it was too salty. The staff is friendly and professional. The wine list is varied and a brilliant thing is that everything is available by the glass/carafe. Tiramisu is well served (large) and on the sweet side. The affogato well served with plenty of room for the espresso shot. Coffee is good even though the cream on espresso a bit on the thin side. Bar is good for solo dinning. No locals so if you are traveling you will not feel out of place. Update: as I received such a nice note from the restaurant, I had to try again. So here we are 4 months later March 2024. The Short Ribs has less Parmesan and it was less salty. It also was more generous on the Polenta. This time it came into its own, great job. For starters I tried the Tono Crudo and it was very good albeit on the smaller side. For desert this time I had the Budino and it was too sweet like the Tiramisu in the past. Affogato is still the best bet I think. The service this time was inspired by a mix of the charge of the light brigade or the Italian retreat from Ethiopia. However when considering the time my neighbors took to read and decide (they both had a birthday while it happened) I can understand the eagerness of the staff. What was strange is that once I was done with eating it felt more like Ethiopia after the retreat, so the rush while it happened was a bit puzzling. So one extra stars on food but down one star on service, because the last time it was an act difficult to match as that team was exceptional.

North Italia has such a fun atmosphere to it. I love that you can see the kitchen from the dining area. Everyone we interacted with had excellent customer service. The food came out fast and our drinks were so good!

Trying to grab a bite with some friends after we landed in LA! The place is cool, good vibes, food seemed fresh, and pizza was delicious, but not crispy enough. A good place to hangout with friends.
