We when here before seeing a show at Belk Theater. We both had the roasted chicken and it was really good. We also had the succotash and grids (the sides are à la carte), they are a nice size for a couple to share. Everything was really good and it was nice that we did not have to go back outside to get to the show

Excellent food and service! My husband and I shared two appetizers, the Italian meatballs and the truffle bread. The meatballs were fantastic! We shared a Caesar salad and our entree which was the chicken parm. Highly recommend! North Italia is my all time favorite Italian restaurant.

Staff was great. Truly great. The rooms are a little loud when multiple tables are set. The outside area looked very nice. The appetizers and salads were extremely good. We ordered the shrimp and grits and the burger with fries. The shrimp and grits were OK at best. We only ate half of the burgers. The fries were on point.
