Our waiter was awesome. The only thing needs work is front of house and for the valet not take up 100% of the parking spaces. Also there be some shaded area for hues to wait for their table. Also for people with reservations, like I had at 5pm I still was standing hot sun until like 5:10pm to be seated. While there were tons of open tables. Front of house/host needs work.

This is a great place for an outing. The pace of the service and meal allows for enjoyment of not only the food but the people you come with. My family enjoyed all portions from the grilled bread and shrimp scampi starters. To the Chicken Parmesean, Short rib pasta, and spaghetti and meatballs. We will definitely return.

Me and my friends went here to celebrate 2 of my girlfriends birthday. Once we got there the hostess did not greet us, no smile, no welcome. We ordered our drinks, the glasses were greasy because one of the waiter had olive oil all over his hands and to top it off, one of the glasses had a chip so they had to get a new glass. We finally get our food, the portions I felt were very small for the price they charge, the food was mediocre nothing to rave about. We ordered the SQUID INK MAFALDINE, SPICY RIGATONI VODKA and BOLOGNESE (HOUSE SPECIALTY) we ended up at The Counter to fill up.

I might have had a hight expectation for the restaurant. Service and ambiance were good but their food isn’t that great and can’t recommend to anyone to check this restaurant for their food. I had 3 appetizers: meatball, calamari, and prosciutto bruschettas. Meatball and calamari (not that lightly battered) are ok and Proscuitto B seems oddly put together. Two of three pasta were spicy. Remind you that one of them per menu is spicy but I wished that our server should’ve said something about the level of spice of the pasta to a pre-teen who is ordering that. She ended up ordering another pasta on the top of spicy rigatoni vodka. Farm salad was good but margarita and fungi pizza were ordinary. I won’t recommend those pizzas unless you want just any pizzas. Since I’ve been looking for a good Italian restaurant to go in Irvine and wished this one would be the one but for this my first trip, this restaurant isn’t it. But I’ll give it one more try hoping their food would get better.

The food was delicious as always. We ordered our appetizer 10 minutes before ordering our food. Our salad came before our appetizer. The people next to us never got their dessert. I don’t know if it was server error or kitchen. I ordered a second glass of wine which came with our food…& was almost delivered a second time by our server because somehow wires were crossed and they didn’t know it had already come. We will still go back, it was just disappointing to get the food that way.

Every Italian resturant should be making their own pasta! Kudos to North Italia. We started with the shrimp app, which was good, but I wanted some sauce to dunk the bread in vs. all the garlic. The Vodka pasta was terrific! Great service too. Looking forward to going back again soon and trying some of their other pasta dishes.

We had reservations and were seated in 5 min. The front hostesses were friendly but did not greet us for our wedding anniversary which I indicated we were celebrating that night in the reservation. Our waiter did not greet us either but that probably was not communicated to him. White truffle garlic bread was good. You can taste the truffle. I had the glazed short rib cavatelli. Short rib was a little salty. Hubby had bolognese with sides of meatballs which he liked. Butter cake with blueberry preserve, lemon creme fraiche and basil had a nice combination of flavors.

I would have given them a 5/5 if not for the piece of plastic wrap that was in our Bolognese. An actual shame because everything else was PHENOMENAL. The pasta was fresh and made in-house! get the Bolognese, seriously, yes I know I just said we found a piece of plastic in it, but that's how good it was, we forgave the plastic because it was just so damn tasty! The pizza was also incredible (especially the Funghi for you mushroom lovers out there). Don't even get me started on the deserts, we got Bombolinis which are similar to beignets dusted with sugar and cinnamon and come with some sort of lightly whipped cream and lemony syrup...insanely good. The servers and floor managers were very apologetic and comped us the bolognese and gave us another one to-go, so they did make up for the mistake. Despite the gaffe, I would still highly recommend. Definitely a place to get reservations though, otherwise you're waiting a long time if you're going during regular lunch/dinner hours.

The food, service and ambiance were all great. Unfortunately our table was very unsteady and they apparently have no way to correct that. The waiter tried to steady it with a couple of napkins but it did not work. When I have had this problem at other places, they seem to have small pieces of wood they can use to steady the tables.
