Came here based off a friend’s suggestion and luckily they didn’t disappoint, food and service was excellent. Food came out on time, tasted great! I had the salmon entree and tiramisu for dessert. My server’s name was Emily and she was absolutely amazing!

Went for a baby shower of 60 guests. Food was delicious and waiters Jessica and Sean were very attentive to details and gave us top notch service. The coordinator Atika was professional and everything went smoothly and mama to be was super happy. Thank you for making this day special for our dear friend. You can only post once on google, but I had to put another review. I went with my friends today 4/12/25 and Emily our server was, sweet, super smart and very attentive. The service she gave us was top notch. The food was delicious as always and latte was on point. Thank you Emily for making this lunch so special.

I recently dined at North Italia – Dadeland and, unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. We ordered the garlic truffle bread, the strozzapreti, and the scallops. While the first two dishes were fine, the scallops were clearly spoiled—they had a strong ammonia or bleach-like smell, indicating they were expired. It was so off-putting that I immediately lost my appetite. We also noticed a few gnats and mosquitoes flying around. The restaurant was dimly lit, so it was hard to tell how widespread the issue was, but it was definitely something we took note of and found unpleasant. That said, the service was solid. The staff was courteous and promptly removed the scallop dish from our bill, which we appreciated. Still, between the food issue and the bugs, it was not the dining experience we were hoping for.

My wife and I were looking for a spot to host our daughter’s post-Communion lunch and narrowed it down to a few places—but we decided to revisit North Italia at Dadeland Mall, and I’m so glad we did. I had been in touch with Atika, their special events manager, for a few days leading up to our lunch. She was super helpful and provided all the info we needed to feel confident about planning here. While dining, we still had a couple of questions, so we decided to give her a quick call—and as luck would have it, she happened to be on-site! She came by our table, answered everything in person, and that’s when we knew: this is where we’re hosting our daughter’s Communion lunch. The food was amazing (as always), and the cherry on top? A surprise dessert sent over by Atika. I’m usually not a big sweets person, but let’s just say… I inhaled both. From the food to the vibes to the incredible staff, North Italia made a big impression. Atika was a rock star, and our server Ashley was sweet, attentive, and friendly. We’re looking forward to our event later this month—and many more future lunch dates when our schedules allow

Encouraged by our family to eat here, my wife and I went to the North Italia for dinner on Tuesday, 6 May. Upon entering we noticed the size of the restaurant, the lighting, and ambiance. It was lit bright enough to see the menu with a dimness to create a cozy or romantic atmosphere. This place is sophisticated enough for fine dining but with a casual comfort to it. We sat at a table near the bar so we could see the Miami Marlins baseball game. Our waiter Julio R. was also the bartender. He did an absolutely excellent job of managing the bar while tending to our needs as dine in patrons. He made a few beer and cocktail recommendations. My wife chose the One More Mambo cocktail and I had the “La Rubia” Blonde Ale beer. Both were perfect. We started with the Prosciutto Bruschetta appetizer which was a bit different from what we’ve eaten in the past. However it tasted great. We shared the Simple 11 salad which my wife and I would highly recommend trying. Our main courses consisted of the Bolognese (House Specialty) and the Ricotta Cavatelli with bucatini noodles. Both were excellent and tasted great. We finished our night with Both were excellent and tasted great. We finished our night with cafe expressos. The experience was fabulous and our waiter made the night even more special with his food and drink suggestions plus his ability to multitask between being a bartender and a waiter. We will definitely return for another meal in the future.

We live in Italy and visited this restaurant in Dadeland Mall with our friends from Mexico. Our waitress Brack was outstanding, had knowledge about every single question she's been asked regarding the Menu. The food was delish! Kids menu is quite various too! We definitely recommend this restaurant for your next visit at the dadeland mall.

The place is very nice, the service is not bad but is not the greatest, The price for the food is a little high, almost $30 for a plate of spaghetti with 2 meat balls, I also got a non alcoholic drink for about $12 was supposed to be something similar to a piña colada, but it had so much lemon that I couldn't even finished. Calamaris were good, I got a Strozzapreti to go, just to find out when I got home that they didn't put the chicken on my order, so I basically pay $25 for spaghetti and mushrooms, not going back ever again. Total of my bill was $117 for one adult and one kid 1 soda 1 mocktail and 1 incomplete order to go.

We came here as a group of 6 ladies for lunch. I had never been before; only one of us had ever been here before. First, we were seating in a booth, but realized they’re only good for 4 people. In order to be sat immediately we’d either have to sit outside (too hot), or at one of the high top tables by the bar. I believe this move was where we went wrong. The bartender was “waiting” on us. Obviously he’s also making drinks for the entire restaurant as well as serving the people sitting at the bar, and then lastly, us. So the service was pretty bad, to say the least. We arrived at 1pm. Our food arrived at 2pm! We left at 3pm! Everything was a HUGE wait. The manager was also helping the table. It took a long time to order- then our food took more than 40 minutes to come out. We were never offered refills in our waters/ drinks. We were never offered coffee or dessert. We had to get up and ask for to-go boxes. We had to go ask for the checks. If we had waited for them to check on us, we’d still be in the restaurant now. But enough about the bad service. On to the food! The food is amazing! I checked out the reviews before going, so I knew we had to order the truffle cheesy garlic bread. It was amazing! We shared it amongst the 6 of us and there was plenty for everyone. The bread actually came out in a decent amount of time- maybe 10 minutes. I ordered the pesto chicken pasta. It was SO GOOD!!! Since I’d filled up on bread, I was able to eat about half of it. One friend got the house specialty- the pasta bolognese. She ate every bite! Two friends got the roasted vegetables salad and they both ate all of it and loved it and said they were stuffed! One friend got the garlic shrimp plate. It came with a lot of bread. She’s the one who had been here before. She said she’s never had such an issue with the service before. My final friend ordered the spaghetti and meatballs. She said it was excellent and could only eat about half of it. Each of our checks came to $20-30 after splitting the garlic truffle bread 6 ways. The atmosphere is nice. Lots of plants - nicely decorated. I would go back, but definitely not sit at a high top table.

Visited with a group of about six on a weeknight for dinner. We opted to sit outside as there was plenty of space however it definitely filled up while we were there. Our group ordered a variety of items, some getting fish, some pasta and some steak. All of our meals got good reviews. We also had a mix of drinks, including wine, cocktails, beer, and non-alcoholic choices which were also all very good. Location is central to a lot of other items. We were staying in a hotel nearby and walked so can't speak to the parking. Service was pretty good, including a friendly welcome upon arrival and willingness to accommodate a change in our group size. I'm not sure if it would be considered a place that is good enough to warrant a repeat visit but, if you're in the area looking for a nice spot to try, this one is definitely worth consideration.

I have gone to this North Italia multiple times, and each time has been a good experience. It's a good place to visit for happy hour, date night, or with friends. It's conveniently located within Dadeland mall, but it can be challenging to find parking close by. I've sometimes parked in the garage area or around the Macy's on the side and walked over. The food has never disappointed! I have gotten multiple things from the menu. Most recently, I tried one of their mocktails, and I was so happy with how good it is! My friend liked hers too, and it's great that North Italia puts thought into creating fun mocktails! They also have a lot of vegetarian options, which is why I keep coming back! Most recently I had the white truffle bread, which was delicious! The cacio e pepe arancini was good, but not my favorite. In past visits, I have had their vodka pasta, which I highly recommend! The pizza was also great along with the burrata, which was decadent. Once I ordered the pesto pasta without the chicken, and I was happy they were able to accommodate it. Service has always been nice and friendly. Atmosphere is warm and feels upscale considering it's attached to a mall. It makes a visit feel like an event. The prices are on the higher end, but for drinks or the occasional date night, I say it's worth it.

$$$$ for a chain restaurant, small portions and mediocre food. Even Happy hour with 1 "special on happy hour food dish" and 2 happy hour drink will make a person walk away with a $40 bill, not including tax or tip. Food is good...so...they have that going for them! Wont go to N. Italia again. why? it is just... yes, it is a SE chain restaurant. And a step above say...Olive Garden? More akin to Magianno's ...but Magianno's has larger portions...better food...

I've been to this restaurant many times, and it never disappoints! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the service is consistently top-notch. One of my must-haves every time is the white truffle garlic bread appetizer--it's absolutely heavenly with the perfect balance of flavor and texture. For the main course, the Chicken Parmesan is hands down my favorite dish. It's always cooked to perfection with a crispy exterior, tender chicken inside, and just the right amount of cheese and sauce. Paired with pasta, it's a meal that keeps me coming back. Whether you're here for a special occasion or just a casual meal, this place hits the mark every time. Highly recommend!

Had a fantastic time at North Italia! The restaurant is beautifully laid out with very simple a clean decor. The food was delicious! Although there are pasta based dishes, they had an excellent selection of fresh vegetables and dishes with fresh ingredients. I loved the variety and will be back to try more menu items. The service was excellent! Our waitress was very welcoming and attentive. And our meals were all timely.

I had an absolutely fantastic visit at this North Italia the other day. Everything from the food, the service, to the decor just served it for me. Right now, they are participating in Miami spice until the end of September and I noticed that they even had a special for brunch as well. The manager Alejandro is super friendly and helpful if you need anything. On this visit, I tried the appetizer of Cacio E Pepe Arancini, which is basically the delicious risotto that is fried into six balls and served with a decadent pesto sauce on the side. It was topped with shredded Parmesan cheese, which added a nice cheesy flavor to the already concoction. For lunch, I tried the Pig pizza which was covered in different types of meat and while messy, extremely satisfying. It says it is served with a spicy soap preta but I didn't find it to be spicy at all, so I added my crushed red pepper since I am a spice oficionado. I also loved the famous meatball sandwich. It was exactly what you would dream of when it comes to a sandwich like that. Perfectly seasoned meat with a delicious marinara sauce at the perfect temperature. Our waitress was very nice and there was good teamwork when it came to water, refills, and quality food checks at every course. I highly recommend this location!

I sat immediately but only person that approached me was the runner with water . He also got me a soda. After over 10 minutes, I stoped someone to ask who my server was. Well, the manager ended up coming and taking my order...followed by the same runner coming back and apologizing and offering to get me anything. So kind! Honestly, should be a server(note to management!!"Rob is fantastic") The soup was light and very good. I also purchased Chicken Parmesan as a to go order for my son He thought it was "pretty good". Lol

North Italia is a great spot for Italian dining! The service here is top-notch--friendly, attentive, and efficient, which really enhances the dining experience. The food is also quite good, with fresh ingredients and well-executed dishes. The pasta is especially delicious, and you can tell it's made with care. That said, I do wish there were a few more choices on the menu. While the options they do have are solid, it would be nice if they either expanded the selection or allowed diners to create their own pasta dishes for a bit more variety. Overall, it's a great place to enjoy quality Italian food with excellent service, and I'd recommend it for a nice meal out.

Came here for the Miami Spice brunch and it did not disappoint! $35 dollars for an appetizer, entree, and dessert was an amazing deal. Recommend Appetizers -Heirloom Tomato and Burrata -Smoked Prosciutto Frittatine -Cacio a Pepe Arancini Entrees -Chicken Parmesan (not on Miami Spice) -Hot honey and smoked prosciutto pizza -Spicy rigatoni vodka The food quantity was the perfect size and the limited time only drink "Venice Vice" was phenomenal! The ambiance is very classy and nice but the service was a little slow because there was a very large party but otherwise it was perfect.

This has become a favorite spot in the Dadeland area. We've tried a few items on the menu, all delicious; such as tortelloni al pomodoro, meatballs, hot honey pizza... This time the white truffle garlic bread was the new winner. Our server Shaun recommended it for appetizer . He was very courteous and professional. Additionally, the summer cocktail Venice Vice was a perfect fit.

My family and I had a wonderful afternoon at North Italia in Dadeland Mall after a day of shopping. The restaurant has a warm, inviting atmosphere, and the service was excellent from the moment we walked in. The menu offers a variety of fresh, flavorful Italian dishes, and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. Both of the pastas we ordered were perfectly cooked (Strozzapreti & Bolognese) and the Margherita pizza was a big hit with the whole family. We also loved the fresh ingredients and the attention to detail in every dish. It was the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a great meal together. Not to mention the price was also fantastic for all the food we had. We'll definitely be back!

We enjoyed a birthday brunch at North Italia! Everything was delicious, my only complaint is that the food did take a while to come out but it was worth the wait! The calamari was crispy, my favorite dish was definitely the burrata! I loved that the salad had crispy pieces in it to offset the creaminess of the burrata. We also had a bread with ricotta that was so hard to stop eating, it was so delicious! We also tried the banana coffee cake, it was SUPER sweet but so good. I definitely recommend sharing this with a group of people instead of ordering it as an entree. Great spot for a brunch that has some different options, I'll definitely be back to try the lunch/dinner food!

Coming here is like a treat. The fact that all the pastas are made fresh, on-site, and never frozen is enough to keep me coming back. I've had multiple pasta dishes on their menu and just love everyone. My current favorite is the short rib lumache. Service is always on-point, and they're pretty consistent with the silent refills (such a plus). Ambiance is nice...like a smart modern vibe. Don't skip the white truffle garlic bread. It's sinfully delicious.

While at the Dadeland Mall, we ate at an Italian restaurant, North Italia, and it was a very nice experience. We were seated outside and the temperature was perfect. I noticed that the interior is very clean, the decor is beautiful, there is a full bar, and the seating looks very comfortable. Our server, Carolina, was attentive, cheerful, and made us comfortable throughout the entire meal. The Spicy Rigatoni Vodka was exquisite. It had the optimal level of spiciness and the pasta was al dente. The Italian Meatballs were flavorful and were placed on a delicious bed of ricotta cheese and red sauce. The Crushed Meatball Ragu was accompanied by penne pasta and I enjoyed how they cut up the nicely seasoned meatballs and sprinkled the entire dish with a thin layer of parmesan cheese. Dessert consisted of chocolate gelato and it was INCREDIBLE. Don't leave without enjoying this great selection. I highly recommend North Italia. It is a very nice eatery and the food/service will help you agree with my review.

Hi everyone! Quick little update and well happy to report that we had another great time last night at North Italia with some friends from out of Town. As with our prior experiences, the food and the drinks were awesome and the service was great as well. On this occasion we had the Calamari Fritti for an appetizer. Main courses we went with the Chicken Parmigiana, the Roasted Salmon and the Ricotta Cavatelli dishes which were all very good. Things were a little slow on this visit due to quite a bit of rain we are having this week but the atmosphere as still very nice and everyone seemed to be having a good time. Definitely check them out if you get a chance. Enjoy and Bon Appétit m'es amis!

Really enjoyed the food here although it was a bit pricey for the amount that was given. Our staff was nice and we did go on a weekday so it was kind of quiet which was also nice. The zucca chips we got were okay. It was a little too oily for my taste and way too expensive for half a Zucchini to be tossed into oil. Other than that it was a great place!

North Italia never disappoints us with their amazing food choices. I had the breakfast carbonara pasta and with the poached egg on top of the creamy, rich and savory pasta, the meal was perfect as it was a late brunch. My friend had the Tuscan Hash with braised short rib but you could also choose to have it with grilled chicken or roasted pancetta. Delicious as always and the server was very friendly and attentive. We always love how clean and inviting the restaurant is. I love how the kitchen is completely open to see the chefs working their magic and you know that they put cleanliness at the top of their priority list.

So the cool thing about this place is, you can grab a table, place your order, then take a nice tour of the mall, take some pictures of the family with Santa, check if Foot Locker has the latest pair of Kobe's in stock, grab a coffee at Starbucks and then as you make your way back, your order will only be 10-15 minutes away from getting to you. Don't go to North unless you want your day going South!

Loved the energy in the place. The staff is very friendly. We ordered a penne and ground sausage - which was pretty good. If you like salt. Lots of salt. An ocean of salt. No one with heart-related issues should EVER eat there unless you've had enough of this life. They make their own pasta, which was one reason I chose the place. But it was overcooked. Also ordered a pizza that tasted like the cardboard box it came in except it was made with lots and lots and lots of salt. But that's just a matter of taste. My taste for pizza was built on New York recipes - which may be influenced more by Sicilian than Northern Italian cuisine. Surprised to learn that Chef Ryan was a chef in New York, but this is bar, not Pizzeria pizza. It wasn't good. Even the truffle bread was choked with salt. The staff is so nice, we would eat there again. So, go for the ambience and the experience. But request no salt so you can spice it to taste. You will live longer. Having said that, avoid the pizza if you have ever eaten it before.

For being a chain restaurant, North Italia is really, really good. Their menu goes beyond the expected fettuccine alfredo and pizza and offers dishes with a ton of depth and flavor, like the White Truffle Garlic Bread and Spicy Rigatoni Vodka. I've never had a bad meal here and it's always my go-to spot for weekend brunch or a nice dinner after a day of shopping at Dadeland Mall. My only gripe is that, while the service workers are always lovely, my food always takes a long time to get to the table; even when the restaurant is basically empty. I do think the food is worth the wait, but unless you're okay spending a bit of time here you may feel disappointed. Overall, though, this is a great spot to eat if you're at the mall and want something delicious!

Ordered delivery and was a little disappointed. The Bolognese was subpar for lack of better word. The noodles were excellent, but the bolognese lacked flavor. The broccoli was terrible. That's saying a lot from one who absolutely loves broccoli. I'm not picky when it comes to broccoli. It was slimy!!! The portions were ridiculous. I received more broccoli than Bolognese. The pic may be deceiving. There were literally 4 bites of the bolognese... I won't be revisiting this place again.! Very dissatisfied. .

Came here on a Saturday for brunch and this place did not disappoint! As much as I wanted to eat pasta for breakfast, I ordered an actual breakfast plate and I enjoyed it! It wasn't busy at all so without any reservations we were sat right away. Our server was very nice and attentive. We ordered the Grilled Bread appetizer to start based on his recommendation and the bread I will say was delicious -- Simple but enjoyable! As my breakfast I ordered the Americano and chose prosciutto with my eggs over easy. Everything came out perfect and the hash potatoes were so warm and yummy! They were the star of the plate I think! My sister asked to try one and reluctantly gave her one, and she loved it as well! If you're looking for a nice, chill breakfast/ brunch spot, not a party place and not outrageously priced, I would suggest North Italia! I'll have to come back to try dinner another night!!

Stopped by last night for a quick dessert - and this cake was SO worth it. Very moist and the ice cream was delicious. It's a seasonal dessert and right now it's red velvet flavored. We sat at the bar and ended up ordering a carajillo as well - also very good. Service was quick and very nice!

I had such a great experience at North Italia Dadeland Mall. The waiter was super nice and attentive.

I would highly recommend this spot for a nice date night or birthday.

This food was soo delicious and the aromas were spot on of Italian cooking. The appetizer white truffle garlic bread is fireee! Crispy crunchy cheesy buttery garlicky deliciousness! Must try. We added a side of marinara sauce. Not really needed but if you like salsa I'd add it on too. The bolognese was good. I'd you like fit you must try the prosciutto fig pizza great combo. And my chicken parm was classic. Our server really catered to our needs and food arrived promptly. No complaints. In the dadeland area and hankering for Italian try out this spot

North Italia is a contemporary Italian restaurant located in Dadeland Mall. The restaurant is known for its fresh, handmade pasta, wood-fired pizzas, and a variety of Italian dishes. They also offer a happy hour menu, which includes a selection of appetizers, pizzas, and drinks. I use to think the happy hour was worth it when the zucca chips were $5 and all pizzas were only $10. I recently went back and they have raised their prices, like everything else and don't get me wrong you still save but i feel it used to be more reasonably priced. In particular, the pitcher of sangria is now priced at $26, which is a $4 discount compared to the regular price. While the pizzas went from $10 to $13 now it's still a good deal considering they are $18-19 regularly priced. While the happy hour prices may not be as attractive as they used to be, customers still appreciate the quality of the food and drinks offered at North Italia. The cacio Pepe pizza here is my favorite , it has a pecorino crema, mozzarella, and cracked pepper. Additionally, the ambiance and decor of the restaurant are praised for creating an enjoyable dining experience.

Terrible. Icame today with my lil charge to get what we thought would be a quick pizza stop. We placed our order immediately of a pizza upon arrival. It took an agonizing 25 minutes to come and when it did it was inedible as it was completely burnt on the bottom. It wasn't as if they were busy because they weren't. I flagged over a member of staff and said this is totally burnt and I am not paying for this. She asked if I wanted a replacement. I said no definitely not. What upset me the most was them serving a burnt pizza and expecting clients not to notice! Any staff member and the chef would have known it was overcooked jut from sight, and that's why I was so disgusted. I definitely didn't want to wait another half an hour for another pizza. To be noted there was another outside table who arrived after me and got their food before me. Normally I am a fan, however this experience totally put me off and I doubt I will ever come again. So disappointed. Ps too pixxed off to take a picture of said burnt pizza!

We were received well and were seated immediately. They even welcomed our Pomeranian . Isabella, our server was kind, knowledgeable and efficient. She was well-versed on the gluten-free menu options, which is not common in young servers. The food was exquisite, fresh and served in a timely manner. The atmosphere at the outdoor dining area was clean and inviting. We will be returning here. Thank you, Isabella! 5 stars!

The food is good. I especially liked the carpaccio. Unfortunately, the service was awful. It took forever for anyone to come take our order. When Berania finally showed up, she seldom checked on us. We had to order drinks from another server because she disappeared. Her calling us my love when she finally appeared did not help.

We were greeted by "C" who was absolutely amazing and made sure we had menus! He is bilingual and it was nice of him to speak to us in Spanish and then in English because my husband and I will speak both so he totally understood us. Valentina also made sure to take our order and we were lucky to have both C and Valentina check in on us. We had a meal before coming but we wanted to snack on the small dishes which were delicious and have drinks. I got the Dolce Vita which is so refreshing and I love passion fruit so this was such a treat! The restaurant inside is super chill and nice. The waiters are so patient and not rushing us to place an order which gave me all the Italian vibes in Miami! My husband is really picky with desserts and C recommended the perfect dessert to share...banana bread with caramelized banana and a side of vanilla ice cream was the absolute icing on the cake. Wow! We sat at the high tables to next to bar so we can't wait to come back and sit by the bar again!

Came upon North Italia for a date night - Can't remember the waitress's name ( blonde girl with glasses ) but she was amazing! Got all of her recommendations and they were all a hit! Truffle garlic bread 10/10 such a good appetizer! Pizza and pasta were both amazing as well. Will definitely be returning

Great place for Italian food in Miami. They have a good selection of dishes, I got the chicken pesto pasta which was delicious. Definitely one of my staple spots, good service, cocktails and food.

This place was great for lunch. A calm and chill atmosphere where everything you're eating is prepared from scratch in a kitchen where you can see everything that is being made for your food. I had the Spicy Rigatoni Vodka which was absolutely amazing and lived up to its name with that little kick of spice from Italian sausage. Our server Rob. D, was very kind, amazing, and very on-top of our drinks, refilling whenever we asked. Also, we had a party of around 20 so, it was great that they were able to get all of our orders, along with special orders and substitutions. I will definitely be coming to this fine establishment of dining again for sure. Thank you for a good meal North Italia! -Jacob Moore

We went today for our anniversary, hadn't been in about a year, unfortunately I was disappointed. First thing I noticed was that the water glasses were dirty. Not sure if they changed owners, or vendors, or chefs , but I ordered the signature dish which is the bolognese, they changed the pasta, which is too thick for this dish, the dish barely had any sauce and the sauce it did have lacked flavor. Could this be why the restaurant was half empty.?...The white truffle garlic bread and tiramisu were good as usual.

Love this location! Went as a pretty big group and we had a wide fun experience. Our waitress was super sweet and made sure to give us tons of recommendations! In terms of food, we started with the sangria and it was delicious! Definitely worth getting a pitcher if 3-4 people want to split it! The garlic bread was DELICIOUS! As they set it on the table the smell already had my mouth watering! The weakest part of the meal was actually the pasta, had the strozzapreti pasta and honestly thought it was a little bland and left me craving for a little more flavor. Overall wonderful spot of a casual dinner and will definitely come again!

If I ever come here it's mainly for the white truffle garlic bread....it is to die for. I can honestly eat the whole entire skillet of bread. It's scary...how good it is. Overall the food is yummy, my favorite dish is the prosciutto pizza. It has figs which gives it a dash of sweetness and then goat cheese which give it a splash of saltiness. Honestly top 5 pizzas I've ever had. To finish off the night, the tiramisu is a must. It is a great portion for a dessert and it is layered beautifully. Unfortunately there is no picture attached because of the excitement of devouring it. My server tonight was great, very attentive. Although, on other occasions the service wasn't so fast which is disappointing. I do however recommend everyone to check this spot out!

Ambiance - check Customer service - check Variety of Italian food - check Kids menu - check Pretty Decoration - check Tasty food - check Well portioned plates - check I love the open entrance of the restaurant, the lighting is great, and just pretty. I like that the outside seating is covered in case it rains. My friend and I ordered the Italian meatballs and garlic bread. Oh my goodness soooo yummy! Especially the meatballs...so juicy with the sauce and cheese. We ordered to drink beer and raspberry mule. It's good as well and I have to say their cocktail menu is very good. To eat we shared the simple salad and spicy rigatoni vodka...also very good. You can ask them to tone down the spice if needed. I love the gorgonzola cheese on the salad. My kids enjoyed their chicken tenders and fries. Their kids menu is well balanced and directed to kids, which is a plus. One of things it lacked is that they don't have much boaster chairs and my daughter ended up eating without one. I'll definitely will be coming back soon. Everything tasted very good!
