North Italia

Pros: fantastic mocktails, great bartender, delicious brunch, huge portions, plenty of seating, covered/shaded outdoor seating available Cons: expensive, slow service TLDR; come here for the experience, view, and sweets. This is a lovely place to eat on the patio when the weather is nice; you have a great view of the waterway, and all the hanging plants make it a particularly enjoyable experience. For brunch, their banana coffee cake is phenomenal (moist and delicate cake, pleasantly crunchy streusel, rich sauce, perfectly bruleed bananas), and the Italian donuts are ok, but I can't recommend anything else on the brunch menu. Even their bacon is lackluster. The only saving grace is that their savory food tastes ok and there's a lot of it. They have some great mocktails, and their desserts are yummy (and also huge!). Their salted caramel budino in particular is rich and creamy without being too sweet. Their seasonal butter cake was also a pleasant treat, though not remarkable. Outside of brunch and dessert, they're a bog-standard, overpriced Italian place. Also, it always takes a really long time to get to-go boxes and the bill. It seems that the only fast service here is the bartender.

I went when it wasn’t too busy during lunch time. Food was great. It was a really welcoming atmosphere. I enjoyed all of my food. The garlic bread was amazing. I would recommend for anyone liking spice, to add the spicy vodka sauce. That sauce was amazing and I used it to dip my pizzas and pour some over my chicken parm. The prices were not the greatest, but I did expect that with now a day pricing.

The best dessert menu. We ordered the hazelnut torta, Tiramisu, latte and the Affogato. All weren't too sweet and really airy and creamy. Nice staff, waitress was attentive and gave us a good recommendation. Hostess were annoyed. One of them was sweet but long black hair lady gave us bad vibes. Other than that, I would like to order again maybe to go.

Taste of the food are based off the dishes I’ve ordered. They were all very good. Pasta was not overly flooded with sauce. Portions were just right with good amount of protein. Looking at customers photos of the dishes, you might think the portions are small, but they do fill me up whereby I don’t feel stuffed to the brim. Service was always great. My servers were always friendly and attentive. Atmosphere is beautiful, clean and relaxed. The four star rating instead of five that I gave is due to a pet peeve of mine regarding food handling hygiene I see in most restaurants here. One I have not understood. You’ll notice food handlers behind the butcher counter having hair net covers over their hair and beards(if present), handling raw meats. Yet you won’t see this for handlers in the restaurant kitchen when delivering cooked food that is served directly to customers. For those with full facial hair, they would be left uncovered. Imagine the food runner (those with facial hair) leaning over your plate to ensure they are clean and ready for service while talking to other staffs. Can they guarantee none of their hair or saliva will get to the food that’s right in front of them. I believe food handlers should have mouth coverings at least for hygiene purposes.

My wife and I came here for a date night on a busy Friday evening. Despite the crowd, we were seated quickly, and our server arrived shortly after to take our drink order. She was knowledgeable about the cocktail menu and offered a couple of great suggestions for my wife. The drinks took a little time to arrive, but considering how busy it was, that’s understandable—and they were worth the wait. Both cocktails were spot on. We started with the Chef's Board as an appetizer, and it was excellent. Beautiful presentation and packed with flavor. For our entrees, I had the Caesar Salad with salmon, and it was fantastic. The salmon had a great crust and was perfectly cooked in the center—exactly how it should be. My wife had the roasted salmon and hers was also perfect—tender, flavorful, and beautifully plated. Overall, this is a really solid spot with good service, great food, and a comfortable atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back.

I've eaten here twice. 2nd experience wasn't the best. Food was cold & mainly because there were 2 very large parties. I think there was a high school event that had taken place. There was a lot of teenagers dressed to impress. The resturant was really busy that night. Also, there was a long wait. The manager offered to remake my friend food & I ate mine lukewarm & just asked for hot Alfredo sauce to pour on top to keep from waiting again. The manager ended up not charging me. I appreciated her for trying to make things right. The waiter was taking long periods returning to our table which was frustrating as well. We survived.

North Italia truly knocked it out of the park with their incredible customer service, thanks to our server, Jose! He was attentive, friendly, and made our dining experience even better. He was absolutely amazing And the food? Absolutely delicious ! The spicy rigatoni was a definite highlight – so flavorful and perfectly cooked. I'll definitely be back for more!

I do enjoy good expensive meals, but get mad when being cheated…. I ordered (if charged by menu price) - Beef carpaccio $18.5 - Seared scallops $36 - Bourbon & Caramel Affogato $11 - Total. $65.5 My wife ordered: - Seasonal burrata $17 - Smoked Prosciutto chicken Parmesan $26 - Red velvet butter cake $12 - Total. $55 However because it was Valentine’s Day we were charged $70 /each…😳😤😡🤬 And We didn’t even get a table inside but we were sat outside, even though there were several tables free for hour and half we were there (but they said those tables were reserved.. maybe by a ghost in love..)

Brunch at North Italia for my birthday today and our waitress chelsea was AMAZING!! She not only helped us navigate the menu but she made our celebration very special! She even came out with my party glasses (seen in picture) for us to mark the memory! Chicken Parmesan, Breakfast Pizza, Pepperoni Pizza and Pastas were so good and the Pumpkin Butter Loaf!!! Thank YOU!!

The food at North Italia was fantastic! We ordered the squid ink pasta and hot honey and prosciutto pizza. We were eyeing these choices and then the waiter confirmed that these were the best dishes so we were very excited. Unfortunately they ran out of the squid ink pasta and had to substitute but that was fine with us since they said it doesn't affect flavor. My favorite was the pizza, a great balance of sweet, salty, and a little kick of spice. The dough was chewy and crispy, and cooked just right. Highly recommend! The squid ink pasta was good, my SO liked it much more than I did but I think the flavors were fine and not as memorable as I had hoped. The pasta was cooked well. Our waitress was lovely, it's very spacious inside and overall we had a great time. Would come back!

North Italia has a wide variety of Italian dishes that you don't typically find at other restaurants. The appetizers are epic, seasonal and they have a squash appetizer. That's just dreamy. Tasty.! I really love their pizzas too! They only have a couple or three different ones, but the Marhgarita pizza is very simple, but elegant and robust. The atmosphere and environment is inviting. It's warm and low lighted so it's very cozy. Great place for a date.

Service was a miss on this outing, we had to wait majority of the time on food or drinks and even on the check. Food was a hit for the calamari as it was the only item I took a picture of. The rest of the food ordered was a miss. The "homemade pasta" did not feel and tasted fresh whether it was overcooked or not.

We love North Italia. It's now our go to Italian chain restaurant. Great quality and service! And did is always on point!

First time here, great wine list and I did try one of their cocktails. Started with a house salad (amazing) Got the bolognese which had amazing flavor, and did the braised short rib over risotto which the textures didn't work for me on this dish. I didn't taste the truffle in the risotto either. Both dishes came out cold. Beautiful environment not rushing to go back, but wouldn't hate to try it again.

One of my favorite Italian spots in town! They have such delicious food with the service always being great. It has such a nice indoor vibe with the ambiance being a nice romantic date night spot as well a good place for a family meal. I ordered the chicken pesto, seasonal vegetable salad, margarita pizza and zucchini chips. The seasonal vegetable salad is one of my absolute favorites they have. I do wish the chicken pesto had a bit more seasoning/flavor to it, but overall it's a good choice for pasta. The pricing is a bit more on the high end considering the portion sizes, but it's a great spot to visit once in a while for a special occasion.

The service was slow the day we came. It was a Monday and it looked like they were under staffed. They sat us down and took awhile to serve us but they were friendly. I could tell they were training a new wait staff so I was patient. The food tasted good. The pig pizza was my favorite. The only complaint I have since they were understaffed and it took awhile to get our food they should have offered bread for the table. Since they didn't offer bread we actually ordered grilled bread as an appetizer and that was I believe $7-$9 which is expensive for something that should be free just for the inconvenience of the wait time. We had two kids with us that were hungry and they didn't get their food for awhile. I would rate it higher but waiting took so long. We even had to wait an extra five minutes or more for the check.

#100th Yelp Review ! I had to make sure my 100th Yelp Review was Italian! North Italia makes their pasta in house. The atmosphere is inviting on the inside. The first server we had named Emma was a bit passive aggressive when we requested a different table due to the high traffic area we were seated at and because we had our son who's a couple months old in a stroller. The manager was able to grant the request and apologized for the lack of customer service. We ended up with the server named Lake who was absolutely awesome. The décor is contemporary yet cozy, creating the setting for date night, a family gathering, or a casual dinner with friends. The menu has a range of classic Italian dishes made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. For starters we ordered the Grilled Bread & Good Olive Oil dish was pleasant. I ordered the spicy meatball pizza for a Pizza lover like me. The crust was crispy yet soft and the spicy sauce was not over the top, but provided a nice lil kick. The other items my wife and mother in law ordered was the Shrimp Scampi Pasta and Strozzapreti which I tasted a little of it and the pasta was Al Dente in addition to the other ingredients. Lake our server was super knowledgeable about the menu and more than willing to offer recommendations based on your preferences. His genuine hospitality makes you feel like a valued guest rather than just another customer. I would definitely order from here again and get a pasta option, but I can say that the pizza is most likely what I would order again! Grazie North Italia per la mia 100a recensione su Yelp!

A table by the water and a fabulous waiter will add exponentially to your dining experience! Ask for Jacob!! Generally busy and crowded inside. The breezes by the water make it feel cooler and if you have a fabulous imagination, you may feel you are by a canal in Venice ! Salad lovers will be taken aback by the fresh local salad either whatever green things are available that day, served with spicy (original) dressing that has no rival! Pair this salad with an Italian beer and you have a satisfying lunch or appetizer . You can always pick a best seller pizza or grilled bronzini to your meal or one of their signature pasta dishes. Consider one of a kind scallops to share or expand your meal!

The service was amazing, our server Lake was so knowledgeable and could speak on all the items on the menu we had questions about. He also had great recommendations! AND THE FOOD, omg was incredible. The interior was very nice too it had a homey upscale feel to it. I will definitely be back

Many many many times have I come here. It's one of my favorites. We took our friend here for her birthday who hasn't been before. She was blown away!! I've eaten everything on the menu and nothing ever gets tiring. Some of my faves are the Italian farm with chicken, the pesto pasta, the house made bolognese is to die for, and the short rib strozapretti. The tiramisu is still one of my favorites in town, I have not found someone who makes it better! The service is always great and friendly anytime I'm here. And the decor and environment is very nice. Especially when you can sit outside :)

Yummy food and nice environment. Services was great and loved the adult beverages! Highly recommended.

Great food great quick service and the ambiance was calm . Not a wow factor but definitely worth trying out vs Cheesecake Factory across the war . The bar is open seating football game was on si good to chill eat abd enjoy a game if you want something different vs a regular bar .

This is my second time here with my wife. The staff and service is better than average. Both times they were friendly and attentive. They were fairly knowledgeable about the menu, but if they didn't know, they offered to find out from the chef the restaurant is decorated nicely, but not overdone, considering they have corporate money. They were bought out by Cheesecake Factory, but they haven't ruined them yet. The ingredients seem to be a good quality a lot of which are imported from Italy. The first time we went, my wife ordered the bread with good olive oil, which I find odd to put on the menu "good olive oil", in a restaurant like this it better be good olive oil. I ordered the Cacio e Pepe Arancini. Both were decent although the Arancini was a bit heavy on the Pecorino Romano, Pecorino Romano is a salty cheese and as a result the Arancini was a bit salty. For a main entrée, my wife ordered the bolognese, which is listed as a house specialty, it was mediocre, not horrible, But not remarkable, especially for being a house specialty. I ordered the Naples White pizza, again, it had too much pecorino Romano on it, making it very salty and unbalanced in flavor. I asked the waitress if they had balsamic reduction, she went and checked with the kitchen and brought me out a small bowl of balsamic reduction, which I drizzled over the pizza to counter the saltiness of the cheese. Luckily, that worked, salvaging the pizza. Other than the imbalance of flavor the pizza was cooked properly in their pizza oven. On our second visit, my wife ordered the Spicy Rigatoni Vodka, which she enjoyed much more than the bolognese. My daughter ordered the Margherita Pizza, upgraded with their Tie Dye option and also gluten free. She also enjoyed her meal. Overall, the restaurant provides a nice dining atmosphere with better than average service. The menu has a decent selection to choose from, although I honestly feel they need to work on balancing their flavors. The pricing I feel is a little high for what it is, but I guess that's to be expected in this economy of fake inflation and corporate greed. I'm sure we will be back when it is convenient for us, don't see going out of the way to come here.

Such a hit every single time!!! One of the best chicken Parmesans I've ever had in my life. The chicken is cooked perfectly and the sauce ratios always on point. Service is always great here, our server was amazing and offered great recommendations. Ambience is very cozy at night. Love that you can see into the kitchen from the dining room. I tried the la dolce vita cocktail this time and unfortunately did not love it, the Julietta is always my go to here. Cannot go wrong with anything on the menu everything is always incredible.

The food was amazing as always- I got the Pollo Frito with the poached eggs and replaced the potatoes for a cup of fruit and will be doing that for now on, the fruit was so sweet and fresh. My husband got the steak and eggs which he also loved. We love North Italia and have been multiple times, although we had Chelsea twice and assumed the first time she may have been having a bad day but this time we felt like a bother and not very welcomed, it was difficult to request pepper and a couple other things because of how rushed she seem to leave the table regardless of us being the first to arrive at 10am with 0 other tables.

Food was 10/10 stars, so good! Our server, Shelby was awesome and helpful! The ambiance is perfect for a night out or with the family. We went for supper and it was not crowded, little wait time. We all had a different pasta but the nice dessert was a special treat.

First time trying & it was fantastic! Service was attentive & friendly. Love the vibe, energy & noise level. Bar opens to outside which will be great during nice weather! All the was yummy & huge portions!! Leftovers for days. I'm sorry I didn't get more pictures. We loved spaghetti & meatballs, crushed meatball ragu & spicy rigatoni vodka.

First time in and what a nice experience. We decided to be seated on the patio since the weather was so nice. Our waitress greeted us quickly to take our drink orders and not long after our entree choices. We decided to go with the crushed meatball ragu, spicy rigatoni vodka, and the white truffle garlic bread. Man it was all so tasty. The spice was just right and everything was seasoned to perfection. We wanted to give dessert a try but honestly we had no room. Lol. The food was just so tasty!!! Looking forward to dining in again in the near future.

Much better experience at Happy Hour vs the dining room! Several items at a lower price and you cannot beat the pizza. We also order the grilled bread and ask for a side of balsamic vinegar. Bartender is always great. She is very pleasant, makes a good drink, and is quick to help.

North Italia never disappoints. This was my first time at this location and our waiter--Dex--was awesome, super helpful, and friendly. The lighting during dinner is dimmed which gives a more intimate feel even though the restaurant itself is pretty large. Our dinner was on a Wednesday night around 6 PM so it wasn't too busy. Service was quick and the food came out HOT (which I love). For apps we got the garlic bread (a MUST), the calamari--super crispy and paired really well with the sauce and lemon, and the seasonal salad. The seasonal salad is super fresh, has great texture because of the pistachios, fregola, and dates. It's a perfect blend of fresh, sweet, and savory. For entrees, I got the spicy vodka sauce with the strozzapretti pasta (if you haven't tried, you NEED to). The sauce was super flavorful with a nice kick. My friend got the pizza of the day which was a spinach and artichoke--and Dex advised us to add chicken and make it extra crispy--it was delicious. The regular strozzapretti was also delicious, and super creamy. Other dishes my friends ordered were the braised short rib lumache, roasted salmon, and seasonal anolini. The fregola that came with the salmon was super creamy and paired well with the fish. The seasonal anolini was the most surprising dish of the night for me. It was creamy, savory, and the sauce paired really well with the pizza. Overall, a great experience and I can't wait to return!

My wife and I have visited North Italia a few times and have been pleasantly surprised each time with their delicious food and top notch service. During our last visit, Cassandra was our server and her recommendations were perfect. She was mindful of our dietary restrictions and shared how some of the dishes can be adjusted accordingly! We had the STROZZAPRETI with chicken and SPICY RIGATONI VODKA with beef meatball. Both were amazing - perfect taste and like their other dishes, tasted fresh. In the past, we've enjoyed most of the foods we've tried except the WHITE TRUFFLE GARLIC BREAD - it seems overrated. Tastes OK but nothin special, so I recommend skipping that appetizer! The ambiance is perfect gor a date night or to hang out with some friends.

Really good ambiance of this place to have a nice date, make you forget that you live in the city l....food was great we tried the Calamari Fritti, White trufffle bread as appetizer, and Roasted Salmon and the Lasagna Bianca such delicious.... The service was really good, we set at the bar area and all of the Bartenders and Servers was really kind and helpful...

This was my first time at this location, and an okay experience. As for my mom, she had a great time and enjoyed her food and experience. I was expecting more out of this place because I'm a regular guest at the Tanglewood location. I ordered my chicken pesto with the new Italian spritz while my mom ordered roasted salmon. My chicken pesto was saltier than usual, so I mostly ate my chicken, and typically, I would finish my plate clean because it's usually good (not this time). My mom thoroughly devoured her meal and left nothing! It's a win-win. It was her first time at North Italia, and she had a great experience! You earned another loyal customer. As for desserts, we enjoyed the chocolate cake--moist and decadent (I highly recommend ordering this to finish your lunch or dinner). As for the location, this one is bigger than the Tanglewood location. It is quite spacious inside, and there are several sections inside, and the patio area is huge! You can invite hundreds of people here for a private party and still have space for more.

First time visiting and Loved the fresh made pasta, and had excellent service thank you Hanna. We will be back

I have been wanting to visit North Italia for a couple of years now. So, today since I was in The Woodlands I gave it a try. Greeted with Big Red doors really made me smile... as I love what Red Doors Represent. The atmosphere was lovely. The hostess was very kind and once we arrived at my booth she asked if where she sat me was good. I appreciated her making sure I felt comfortable by posing the question in the first place. The seating was to appropriate as I'm a solo Artist . My waitress was super nice, helpful and honest. She was very attentive and has an infections smile. She'll go Great Places in the future! I ordered a Cosmo and it was poured short. How do I know?? Because I drink Cosmos and learned how to make a Steller Cosmo from watching SITC. Also, the nice lady sitting two booths from me had a similar drink and hers was poured an inch from the rim (visual: compare a half gallon of milk to a full gallon). That said, the waitress asked me was my drink alright and stated that small observation and she promptly spoke to the bartender to make the next drink correctly. Both tasted great at the end of the day. The white truffle garlic bread appetizer was The Bomb!! A must try! I highly recommend it! North Italia's signature dish is The Bolognese. It was Meh .... However, had it not been for the manager coming over to my table to inquirie if my food was good, I would have been more critical of the dish. It is cooked super duper al dent. To the point, I thought it wasn't done, but she explained their process and advised that next time I should tell them to allow my pasta to mull around in the hot pasta water longer to soften up (basically). Do I think as a customer I should ask a restaurant to cook my pasta sans the toughness almost crunchy nature...I don't think so but I guess I get it. The manager graciously asked if I wanted it re-made to which I declined, but she did bless me with an extra side of their homemade ricotta cheese. This particular pasta dish's meat red sauce was bland, lacked spice, garlic or all around flavor in my opinion. Literally, there is no difference between North Italia's Bolognese and EVERY Canned pasta dish from Chef Boyardee sold in Krogers and HEB. The only difference is one cost $23 and the other $1.39. Even with the prices they do not attempt to box your food, but maybe they provide that luxury at night to their customers. I also would have loved freshly grated parmesan table side verses spouted in a plastic 2oz container to be poured on verse scattered authentically on such a signature dish. All in all, I will try North Italia again but next time the pizza! Andddd...I appreciate the the check-ins from the staff. This, the service...serviced.

Took my mom for lunch & was very pleased with atmosphere, service and most of all quality, freshness & flavor of our entrees. Will definitely be back!

This is one of those spots every city has- the spot that just can't keep a restaurant alive. Enter North Italia, a very woodlandsesque choice for a very woodlandsesque spot lol. While the spot itself plays into the dark, romantic vibe, the Veni vidi vici cocktail will bring you to the light. Super light and slightly frothy, this is the lightest whiskey beverage I've consumed in awhile. Citrus forward, whiskey light, this little buddy is a fabulous choice for a summer whiskey cocktail! I'm picky about my squid ink pasta dishes, and I have to say, the first time I ordered this dish, the was cooked perfectly. While I wasn't so lucky with my second go around (which yielded chewy calamari and overcooked shrimp), I love squid ink pastas, and irregardless of if it's your thing or not, this is one to try. The squid ink is very very subtle, and while spicy, the sauce is a simple and effective pairing. My dining partner said the pig was delicious, salty, and similar to Gramaldis. Upon second visit, my dining partner gave the meatballs a 10/10! It's been a few months and the restaurant still feels huge, new, and clean. It's not individualistic but still nice to have in the woodlands. Welcome North Italia! We hope you'll stay awhile!

Stumbled upon this Italiano restaurante after returning from a stop in Huntville and trying to dodge Friday traffic at 5pm .Our hungry crew came in for a little taste of Italy and this restaurant did not dissapoint.The evoo bread with drizzled of sweet balsalmic was a nice start. My pesto pasta with chicken was a little salty but otherwise quite nice and they allowed me to do a half portion since not too hungry. Calamari with house special red sauce was also a nice compliment for my dining companions with their pizza and pasta choices. They will be opening a closer location for us in City Centre in January so we imagine will be back to either location. Parking; a bit of a walk from parking garage or can valet

Pasta Craving: Satisfied I came here on a Sunday night to have a bite of pasta. The restaurant is modern and casual, great place for conversation. On a Sunday night, it's also quiet and quite intimate. We had the Braised Short Rib Lumache and Squid Ink Tonnarelli. We also had the Beef Carpaccio to start and a side of Asparagus to go with the entrees. We enjoyed everything except the asparagus. Some of the pieces were dry and fibrous making them inedible. We also received good service. Our server was attentive and patient with us although we were pretty indecisive. Overall, great location and worth a shot if you haven't tried them already.

Service was slow. For the price of the food, I expected a larger portion along with table side pepper and fresh parmigiana. I had the lasagna which was quite bland. The pizzas were very good but for $20 a pizza or more, too much. Also $8 for bread and olive oil? Build it into your price of food. Also $7 for a coors light?!?!? Everything was over priced.

For a cocktail, I indulged in their espresso martini. It is not in the menu - you just can tell the waiter/waitress and they will make it for you! I've had my share of this exquisite cocktail; however, North Italia creates the best one! Perfectly rich and creamy but leaving you light and satisfied. For food, my mom and I split the Italian salad. I loved the mozzarella balls!!! The beef carpaccio is even better than Brio's which is a huge statement to claim. I loved the crunchy side bread. Their pizza crusts are wonderful too; I make pizza so I can really taste the flakiness and seasoning!! For dessert, we got their chocolate cake with vanilla mascarpone and cherries. Omg I died and went straight to HEAVEN. The richness and gooey choclate just explodes in your mouth and you can't stop The ambience was just so warm and welcoming; our waitress Sydney was super attentive and polite. The hostesses were friendly-enough and social. Definitely coming back here for their brunch and pasta!!!

The best Italian place in The Woodlands! Great servers and food! Lots of gluten free options for people with dietary restrictions.

Booked a table for 11 for dinner. Service was fast and our waitress was attentive. Appetizers were great. Main entrees aka all our pasta dishes sucked in various ways. One dish had burnt pieces of pasta. Another was so sloppy it looked like it was picked up on the floor. Presentation was so poor. All our pastas were overcooked and mushy. Two pastas were so spicy when it's usually not that spicy; thus, they didn't enjoy it. I didn't order dessert after not enjoying my dish and barely touching it. Two guest had north Italia in California many times and loved it and said this was the worst experience they've had in the woodlands. Maybe it was an off day?‍ Unfortunately, we all won't be back nor recommend it.

OMG. Short Ribs was the most delicious meal I've had in a while. My daughter had the chicken pesto and she loved it! Our server was the sweetest, she seemed like she knew what she was doing, never a moment where we had to flag her down for anything, super attentive but not annoying lol a nice place for special dinner with family or friends, pretty place for date night. Can't wait to come back!

My party of 3 was super excited to try the North Italia Woodlands location as we are obsessed with the Post Oak one. We came here on Friday, June 9 at around 3 pm and the restaurant wasn't busy whatsoever. We approached the host stand and the host proceeds to walk my party to our table. However, the host left us a really bad impression, when I kindly asked if we could be seated in a booth. The young lady began to roll her eyes and let out a HUGE sigh as if we were creating a burden to her, when the restaurant wasn't busy whatsoever. That experience alone made my party feel very uncomfortable. Our server gave us good service and took our food orders. Overall, the food was pretty good and if the bad incident didn't happen, it would've been a 5/5. Here's what we ordered: 1.) Spicy Meatball Pizza: Surprisingly this pizza spicy level has a kick! The crust was amazing and thin. Definitely recommend! 2.) White Truffle Garlic Bread: This dish is served with thick crispy pieces of bread and the game changer was definitely the butter. The butter is what completes the dish. 3.) Spicy Rigatoni Pasta: SO DARN GOOD. This pasta has all the flavors and I'm obsessed with the taste of vodka in this dish! Nicely done. 4.) Chicken Parmesan: This is usually my go to dish at the other location but for some reason, this dish wasn't as good as I remembered it. The chicken was overly battered and super salty to where it left a salty taste in my mouth. If there was 1 dish I would've opted out, it would've been this one. Overall, the food was pretty good. I'd definitely give it some more time for staff training at this location since they're fairly new. I spent $100 for 4 dishes (including tip), so I'd say it's $$-$$$.

If you're a pasta lover, you will love this place! North Italia makes their noodles from scratch, and the taste is astronomical. The service was nice, but nothing extraordinary. This location is located at the Woodlands Mall, so I would be mindful when coming during busier hours.The venue is nice, elegant, small, and inviting. I personally felt the garlic bread was overpowering. However, some of my pasta favorites include: Squid Ink Tonnarelli, Braised Short Rib Lumache, Bolognese (House Specialty).

I LOVE their pastas, pizzas and appetizers. I have not had one bad thing from here and I've been too many times to count. The service is always incredible and the restaurant is very chic but comfortable.

Weekend lunch classic. Great atmosphere. Staff is super nice. Food is awesome. Chefs board, calamari, margherita, bolognese, ragú... all delicious! All bartenders are superb! Great drink selection!

The food in the service was so good. I wanna come back the AMBIANCE was good Too much food the pasta is so good. You're the one to eat it 15 times.

The calamari fritti was the best calamari I have ever had. I can't even pronounce everything in it but it was delicious! The same for the scallops, the grilled bread and the truffle garlic bread - everything was excellent! My hat's off to the chef. Fine dining experience. I never give 5 stars but i was thoroughly satisfied.

New addition to the Woodlands Waterway, within easy walking distance from the mall's courtyard entrance. I was impressed by the service (very polished & knowledgeable servers, despite having just opened)... But the Creme de la Creme of this venue is the outdoor seating. It's a prime spot for al fresco scenery along the popular waterway. Riverwalk sort of vibes, with an upscale touch that is trademark to this part of town. We sampled several shareable plays & drinks. The food was rich, the drinks poured heavy, but the desserts disappointing.... -The "crispy" calamari could afford improvement - it was rubbery, and the chunky marinara sauce served with it was far too heavy. -The favorite of the table & showstopper to our meal were the meatballs - so tender and perfectly paired with creamy polenta. We ended up doubling our order! *chefs kiss* -The truffle garlic bread is piled high with whipped ricotta, making it another fun choice. -Pretty great selection/variety of wines, specialty cocktails, and after dinner drinks. We weren't disappointed with any of them. Excellent choice for a romantic evening or date night!!!

I left a 5-star on Google so I decided to do the 4-star here on Yelp since the review is about the front desk reception lady. Our experiences have been great, but the last visit, the receptionist seating us did not have eye contact at all, no smile either, acted like a robot. It's unusual for this experience. The good was good, love the Kale Potato soup! Our server Lake is awesome!

Yelp is telling me it was only 23 hours ago that I posted this review. And I'm back. Again. For another kale salad. It. Was. That. Good. ---------------//////-------------- Y'all. I'm just gonna let the pictures do the talking. This was decadent and delicious- the perfect after work spot to avoid traffic heading home and unwind. And the veggie noodle substitution? Worth it. (Just be aware, my keto friends, it's heavy on carrots)

Great experience! Loved their setup and service. The food was excellent, and the best part was the healthy portion size.

The ambience here is always nice, they were doing construction outside. Maybe expanding to have an outdoor patio area. The food was great. And I would definitely recommend this business to others. My server was very quick and engaging with me and my party. Left her a big tip and appreciated her hospitality.

I just don't have words to describe how great this was. Family friend, plenty of parking, it was beautifully decorated. It was quite and chill. I even had my kids with me. Service was top notch. Our waiter was so incredibly friendly, and had the best recommendations. I got the Spicy Rigatoni and it was a 10/10. My husband got the braised pork lumache which was also a 10/10x we got two sides the sweet corn polenta and the spicy broccolix there truly wasn't anything i put in my mouth here that wasn't worth going back to eat again. Even the kids meals were top notch quality. This was so good, I don't normally eat places more than once bexause there is just so much to try in Houston but I will come back!

I've only had take out from here but it was really good. The family meal will feed you for a bit. The bread was one of my favorites.
