   Excellent lunch/brunch on Sunday. Food was very good. So was the service. We just waited a while for coffees at the end of the meal. I would recommend and will go back.

   Bar service is extremely slow. It took about 15 minutes to get our drinks. Wait service was also slow.

   I want to clear, the service is above and beyond. From the bar staff when we arrived early for our reservation to our server, we were attended to and had every question answered, great recommendations and casual conversation that added to the enjoyment of our covered date night. While the food is good, the truffle oil is all consuming. It borders on too much and this is from someone who loves truffles. I opted for the Fungi Pizza because the Lasagna was sold out. In fact, we were told it was about this time every night (7:45) that the lasagna is consumed. Why not make more if this is the standard outcome? We’ll come back eventually but I don’t know if this will be in the typical rotation for the rarest of nights out.

   I go to the North Italia Ballantyne often, and service is often lacking, leaving a lot to be desired. The food is good, but portions are too small for the price.

   Always love coming to this location. I know it was lunch rush a bit but our server was bypassing our table. No refill on drinks until we asked for the check. Had to ask for a box to another server passing by since ours was basically MIA

   It’s nice to have a good Italian Restaurant near our neighborhood. Great service and the food was prepared properly.

   Service was great and we had the truffle garlic bread and arancini for appetizers which were delicious. We had a variety of mains, all of which were very good. I had a salad with salmon and the salmon was cooked perfectly. I’ve eaten inside and outside and both are lovely. Park across the street in the deck and you can get 5 minutes of walking in too. We will be back!
