Wonderful evening with great atmosphere and excellent food and service. Loved the meatball appetizers so much that we got another order to take home! Pastas, as always, hit the spot. Cannot recommend Society highly enough...for large groups or intimate evening.

Were able to sit outside on a perfect evening. Our server(Leila?) was great, as was the food. Delicious, generous portions. The focaccia with pesto was wonderful, as was the burrata gnocchi.

Was wonderful!!!! Food was incredible, service was great! Noise level was good, until a large party sat near us that was loud & the sound carried. So if you go just ask if a large party is coming. Definitely would go back!

Five stars across the board - from the hostess welcoming us, to John our server, to the ambiance, to the comforting food. John gave perfect service, fabulous suggestions (especially the pear salad and the ragu pork pasta and the bondino) 🤩🤩🤩 Hubs always loves the diamante pizza. The patio seating is great, but we prefer the inside dining - low lighting, glowing candles, the quiet buzzing open kitchen - very quaint. Feels like you’re in a street cafe in Europe. We have been to Pizzaria Virtu several times, but a good reminder for us and everyone to frequent our locally owned restaurants. Scottsdale is filled with amazing restaurants but you can’t beat the pride and passion of our local chefs. Thanks for the experience and we’ll see you again very soon!!

    Wonderful!!! Food was delicious - had the artichokes - lemon piccata chicken - cauliflower and gemelli pasta and plaza salad!! All were 5 star. The best finisher was the cheesecake. I don’t know how they made that cheese cake so delicious. A must have for sure!!!

    Great dinner at North on a Saturday night. Sat on the patio which is very comfortable especially as the weather cools down. Food was tasty, as usual, and we had a great experience. Service was a tad bit slower than normal but it WAS saturday night and we weren't in a hurry, so no biggie. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Gotta love North!
