    Via Alloro is always a winner. The service is always friendly. The waiters are professional and many of them have been at the Restaurant for many many years. The food is always spot-on/consistently good, especially the Frutti Di Mare pasta. Definitely recommend.

    We've been to North Italia many times and always enjoyed it. The food is reliably good, though not on the level of the best Italian restaurants in town. Good for an ordinary night out after a film at the Laemmle Monica up the street. The service is almost always very attentive, though not last night; we had to wait quite a while before our server appeared. But it was easy to see that she was working hard. Can recommend the arancini, arugula salad, little gems Caesar, eggplant parm, the pizzas (my wife loves the mushroom pizza), most of the pastas. I had the lasagna for the first time, a bit disappointing. But, in general, we like the food and service and will surely return.
