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

    Went on a Friday night and it was lovely. We ordered the short ribs and the bolognese pasta and both were excellent. Staff was friendly, will go again.

    Music was too loud for having lunch, almost can’t have a conversation. Food is not really Italian. Too greasy.

    We were one of maybe 5 tables in the entire restaurant so it wasn’t terribly busy and yet the service was slow and the customer service quite lacking. The servers were unapologetic for the mix up in the orders )not just for our table but for tables nearby - and for delay in getting the food out (we waited 30 min for bread appetizer that never came even after we asked about it)

    This is one of my favorite go to restaurants. Seems like the food quality has gone down as of late. Had arugula salad, and it was overly bitter and not very good. The garlic bread used to be my favorite and it was dry lacking any butter, and overall not good, very disappointed. Spicy rigatoni pasta dish was very good, but overall our experience was very average this night.

    We loved North Italia. The food was great, very tasty and just the right amount on the plate. Our waiter Eddie was really cool. Very good at his job. Loved the ambience as well. Didn't feel cramped and crowded. Love the high ceilings and the architecture of the room

    Very disappointed with this location. Some of the worst Italian food we’ve ever had.

    The food was delicious and the service was excellent. The $75 prix fixe was overpriced for what was offered. We had a great time overall.
