Everyone has a favorite dish at North. Every day, our Chefs start from scratch to create handmade pizza and pasta using only the best ingredients to craft inspired dishes from the garden, farm, and sea. North defines the standards for handcrafted Italian. Our menu offers a great selection of antipasti (daily soup, charcuterie, bruschetta), salads full of seasonal ingredients, and a main entrée menu driven by both traditional Italian cuisine and lighter fresh fish dishes. North is a great neighborhood spot for family and friends to meet and share a handcrafted experience. From the food to the service, at North every detail matters. Due to recent current events, we will be only open for to go sales only at this point in time. Thank you for your understanding

    I have been going to north Italia for some time now and decided to bring my team out for a holiday dinner. Food was good, there were a few dishes that were unavailable though :( I’ve never had any issues with service but that evening was a little slow and a lot of miscommunication. Maybe because there were a lot of guests and it being the holidays (*shrug*). Regardless, we still enjoyed it and the food was good.

    Excellent good and service but...omg the place has been taken over by countless very noisy toddlers and young children. The parents don't seem to care. We went on a Saturday date night but will not return, sadly, for that reason. Love children but not at a nice restaurant on Saturday night. #beentheredonethat

    We had reservations. We arrived on time. We got our order in fairly quickly but it took 45 minutes to get salads and pasta. Sorry we were annoyed.

    I’m a frequent visitor at this restaurant, food is amazing here, particularly Black Mediterranean Mussels and White Truffle Garlic Bread. All servers are very nice but JUSTIN is the best 👍👍👍….Thank you very much to the chef and all the staff.

    North Italia is our go to spot for Italian in Santa Monica. We love the high ceilings, open kitchen, great service and quality food. We’ve been here for years and never been disappointed.
