North Italia

Had brunch here today and it was a great experience overall. The food was definitely the standout. I ordered the steak and eggs and it was cooked perfectly. The steak was tender, full of flavor, and just the right portion. The eggs were fluffy and paired nicely with everything else on the plate. It was one of those meals that hits the spot without trying too hard. I also decided to try the banana coffee cake and wow, it was incredible. Moist, rich, and packed with banana flavor. The crumble topping added a nice texture and a little crunch to each bite. It was easily one of the best pieces of coffee cake I have ever had. That said, it is super sweet. By the time I finished it, I felt like I needed a nap. Definitely a sugar bomb, but a really good one. The service was decent but not amazing. We were seated pretty quickly, but it took a little while before someone came over to take our order. Once our food arrived, everything was correct and well timed, but the staff was not overly friendly or engaging. It felt a bit transactional. Nothing bad happened, but the overall energy could have been better. The atmosphere was relaxed and casual, which made it a nice place to hang out for a weekend brunch. I would absolutely come back. If you are looking for a solid brunch with great food, this place is worth a visit. Just pace yourself with the coffee cake.

We made a reservation about couple weeks in advance due to wanting to celebrate a wedding. After the intimate wedding, my husband and I went out to eat here at the Leawood location to celebrate! We had a couple kids and 4 other adults. The service, the atmosphere and food/drinks was great. There was zero complaints and really loved incorporating this restaurant into our special day!! Literally had anything to accommodate kids, picky eaters and all kinds of drinks!!

Everything we had was perfectly cooked and tasted delicious. We got the grilled bread, the Bolognese & Rigatoni alla Vodka, the olive oil cake and the butter cake. We also ordered 1 alcoholic drink, 1 NA drink and a coffee. Our waitress was excellent, very kind attentive and timely. Other staff members delivered portions of our order and each of them were very friendly. It was great to see so many kind faces contributing to our experience there. I would absolutely recommend this place and I will be coming back!

Beautiful spot in Leawood. Great wine and cocktail list, the food is superb, and the ambiance is bright and vibrant. Get the white truffle garlic bread! A lovely patio with west-facing subplot but plenty of umbrellas so you don’t roast in the summer.

We stopped here for a late dinner (around 8 pm) and while there was a 40 minute wait for a table, the bar seating was open and full service so we sat there. The bar was nice, very attentive service! I tried one of the mocktails - Limonata Rossa and hubby got the My Verona and he enjoyed it. We did the Italian Meatballs as a shared appetizer and then I got the Italian Farm salad (added chicken) for my entrée. Wow- the salad was HUGE and could easily feed 2 people but the flavors were balanced, the tomatoes and cucumbers crisp and the chicken was juicy! Hubby got the Spicy Rigatoni Vodka pasta and he absolutely loved it! To finish, we got the chocolate espresso gelato. It was a fabulous and filling meal!

Took the missus here for a birthday dinner. It's a traditional thing. We both always love North. Food is generally hot, fresh, and high quality. Tonight's review is for the service. A+++ 6 star review for Tina. We aren't generally big review people but her service certainly deserves a little shout. Wife and I both commented that it was the best service we'd had in quite some time. Thanks, Tina. You made our family quite comfortable and your extra effort was noted and so so much appreciated.

We got Togo while staying at the nearby hospital, and the food was delicious and fresh. We had the bolognese, salad, tiramisu, and lattes.

Absolutely delicious! We are in town for a conference and were able to get in quickly even though we didn't have a reservation. Our server made excellent recommendations for drinks, small plates, and entrees. We left full but also with high spirits. Great experience!
