    We have enjoyed North Italia on several previous visits, but this lunch was a bit disappointing. We started with the Burrata di Stagione, which was very good and probably the highlight of the meal. The Roasted Salmon, however, did not quite work for us. My wife found it a little heavy, and I thought the portion was on the small side. I had the Parmesan Chicken Sandwich without the aioli, but it still felt slightly too greasy and salty, making it heavier than I expected. On the positive side, the Live Oak beer was excellent and the service was very good throughout. The restaurant also seemed quieter than we remembered from previous visits. Overall, we left with the impression that the food is not quite at the level it used to be, while prices have continued to move up. We have always liked North Italia, but for now we will probably take a break and come back again at some point in the future.

    Decided to dine here for my hubby's birthday. The young lady at the front took us all the way to the back of the restaurant, out of anyone's view. No other diners came to sit in the back, and I felt isolated from the other diners. I wanted to leave, but my husband decided to stay since we drove to come. The waiter, KV, was very nice and energetic, so that was a plus. We will not be back to this location.

    Have eaten here before but this time service was extremely slow. We had 8 in our group but have had groups before and not experienced such a delay in food. :(

    I’ve been to this restaurant several times before. However, this past visit, food took over an hour to arrive, arrived cold, service was slow, all while the restaurant being practically empty! It was a slow Sunday dinner service and maybe just this location has lost its touch.

    Great food and service. We are regular diners there and they have kept up the consistency in their quality of service and quality of food. Highly recommend Tisha - she works at the bar. She took care of us the last few times…. Very professional and takes the extra step to make your meal enjoyable.
