    Historically my FAV in Austin for biz meeting or for friends WORST waitor in probably 10 years When I arrived she only had 2 tables Never CKD on me even if she was doing somethig at table next to me Had to yell to get to place order Had to get up and request items and more drink and check Worst value of food to service - told manager he just kinda shrugged his shoulders and said he was new also - no resolution or acknowledgement of horrible experience or accommodation Shame - it was fav and I never write reviews but lunch was $60 per person - food only and horrible service

    Enjoyed the restaurant after seeing the musical Waitress. Great selection of salads, entrees, desserts and coffee. We had it all- very solid, and the service was fantastic. Our family is not from Austin, but next time we are in the city for a show, it’s a good bet we will likely come back here. Parking is directly connected to the building the houses the restaurant which makes it super easy. Good value overall IMO.

    Pizza - 5 stars Bolognese pasta and dessert- 4 stars Our server was attentive and nice. Good ambience. Margarita and dirty chai were not very good. When reservation was made I did indicate that we were celebrating a wedding anniversary. Every time I have used open table and enter a special occasion every past reservation acknowledged our celebration not this time.

    The food is excellent, I believe this is one of the best Italian restaurants in Austin. Not only the appetizers, but also the entrees are very tasty. The prices are convenient and the food is first quality . The service is effective and kind and the desserts are very good, especially the Affogato and the Bombolini. The ambience is good and the decor is modern. I'm very pleased.

    I love North Italia my family and I come to eat here often today’s visit was very disappointing. There was an accident on our table and our drinks didn’t get replaced it took us asking the server once she showed up 20 minutes after the incident for a wine cup and napkins to get them replaced. She didn’t come and check on us at all.
