    We came for dinner and we had a beautiful night from start to finish. Quiet elegance mixed with understated chique foodie atmosphere. We sat in the garden and that was the best way to do it. Magical with lights and cozy atmosphere. Waiter was professional and welcoming. The calamari and bolognese pasta were divine.

    Visited this place for the first time and is definitely a hidden gem. The food was fresh and tasty and the service was amazing. Would definitely recommend trying the carbonara if you like white pasta, the prosciutto e arugula pizza, and their tiramisu is a must try. Overall I had a great experience!!

    We have dined at North Italia in Cherry Creek, CO several times. This was our first experience at the Fort Lauderdale location and it was just as amazing as CO. The staff and managers were so accommodating to us being a large party with several toddlers. They were as sweet as can be in making sure we were comfortable and felt welcomed. The food and cocktails were so delicious. Highly, highly recommend!!
