    I’m so confused because I use to love this restaurant. The service was fine I guess but the food was not good. We ordered the spicy meatball pizza and they put short rib on it instead of meatball? Then the “ricotta” was a lemon cream sauce? The pizza didn’t taste bad, but it’s not what we ordered and it was NOT fresh.. the crust tasted like it sat out for a few hours. The spicy rigatoni was ok, but the pancetta was mushy, and not crispy. Then we ordered the brookie sundae for dessert and the whip cream tasted AWFUL.. I can’t even explain. I hope North Italia makes a comes back because it really was a bad experience overall.

    The food was decidedly bland. And they were out of several items on the menu, even featured items, and it was an early dinner. Our consensus: not worth the price. Not going back. If you want great Italian, try Cardellino’s.

    We ordered twice and both times the server came back and said they didnt have it. So the food was good but not what we expected. It was a little busy so service was ok but very slow.

    Hi Luis, Thank you for this review. We always strive to give great hospitality every time a guest walks into our restaurant and it looks like we dropped the ball on this one, and were very sorry about this. We hope you decide to give us another chance in the future to make it right!

    Roberto is hands down the best server at North Italia! He was professional and took good care of Us. It gives a special touch when servers stop to chat with the customers and get to know them.

    Our dinner for 4 took over 2 hours. We were sat at 6:30. Placed our orders by 6:45 (2 of entrees were salads, pizza, lasagna) and no food including our appetizers arrived until after 7:45. Our server made 101 excuses why our food was nor coming out. Two tables on either side came and went while we sat waiting. After 1.5 hours the manager brought us some stale white bread with butter "on the house" and offered to buy us dessert. We ended up ordering 2 desserts - 1 of which we had to pay for. Just a tip - maybe not make a big deal that you're buying us dessert and just say you are covering 1 free dessert for the table. After waiting over 2 hours i was annoyed to be charged for the second dessert. We only got it bc you presented it as compensation for loosing our order. Overall we will not return. The food was mid and customer experience was terrible. There are so many better restaurants around why put up with terrible service, they obviously dont care about their customers . At least be honest if you lost the order.
