Best Wineries in La Villita

It goes without saying that the food was delicious. Our server Heather did an amazing job at taking care of us all night long.

North Italia at The Rim made our Christmas Eve truly special! Their General Manager, Eric, greeted us warmly, surprising me as a fellow Eagles fan (wearing a Saquon Barkley jersey my son gave me) and treated us to a complimentary appetizer. To our delight, it was the “CACIO E PEPE ARANCINI” (deep-fried risotto balls), which my husband and I had been eyeing—absolutely delicious! My husband stayed loyal to his favorite, the Tuscan Half Chicken, while I indulged in their perfectly crafted Margherita pizza pie. Paired with a bottle of Montepulciano D’Abruzzo Umani Ronchi “Podere”, the meal was a holiday treat. The service was impeccable, and the festive ambiance elevated the experience. Thank you, North Italia, for the spectacular food and service. And to Eric: “Go Birds!”

I took my visiting family to celebrate Christmas for a Christmas Eve afternoon dinner and our belated anniversary dinner. It was our first visit. The reserve table was waiting, the service was very professional [even though our waiter got part of our order wrong — but everything was quickly corrected]. There were plenty of wonderful choices for my vegetarian daughter and grandchildren with dietary restrictions. All the food was cooked to perfection. All the dishes were packed with flavor for a subtle gourmand experience. The wine list was impressive, but I had to forego tasting on my doctor’s order. Everyone had a wonderful time enjoying well cook food that was serve with an artistic presentation. I will definitely return more often.

Some of the best fish in the city. The love and care in the tartar sauce is amazing. We had the fish sandy and the fish and chips. Both perfectly fried and yummy with strong fries. Great gem
