We really enjoyed the atmosphere, and the food was outstanding!!! They make their pasta fresh every day and you can tell. My husband had the hanger steak and it literally melted in your mouth. The desserts were to die for as well!! We will most definitely be back - soon!

Pasta part of dish was close to room temperature. Manager did completely redo the food. Salad was delivered a minute before the entree. Wish it had come out earlier. We were seated inside away from open doors and bar area, but I fished two gnats out of wine glass. Flies were a nuisance. Server was sweet but very new to serving I believe. We will give it another chance!

The last two times we’ve been it just hasn’t been as good and the service has declined as well. Things happen with servers and stuff gets confused especially during shift changes but both times several people walked by us repeatedly (once while waiting on take out and the other dining in) and no one offered to help or refill drinks and it was not during a rush. Very disappointing because it was amazing when it first opened.

Dinner & Cocktails were great - Short Rib Pasta was excellent 4 pieces of short rib in the pasta and one was complete piece of fat so that was disappointing but everything else was fabulous. Pommegrante Mule was fabulous as was the Arincini. Waitress was very prompt and pleasant and informative.
North Italia - FranklinResponded on September 15, 2022Hi PeggiM, Thank you so much for the 5 star review.

It is hard to rate a restaurant when there is a blackout and their electricity went off. We waited about a half an hour and then decided to leave. The waitress was more than accommodating. It was out of her control. Maybe the next time we go will work.
North Italia - FranklinResponded on September 15, 2022Hi ArleneL, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.

Third time there and it was not the best. Server suggested splitting a lunch salad and app and the 2 of us left a bit hungry. Salad was 5 bites total. Flavors we’re good; Just an odd suggestion. Note to self - order your own portion. I like the ambience and entree choices. Also love the GF option.

We’ve been twice to North Italia. We gave it a second chance tonight. On both visits, we were delivered food that was not hot. The first time we had Luke warm bolognese in a bowl. Tonight we were served a pizza that was barely warm and a pasta dish in a bowl that was not hot. We gave them the benefit of the doubt the first visit but tonight was the second chance and it was disappointed, which means we won’t be going back. We brought the food temp to management both nights. Signed, Disappointed.
North Italia - FranklinResponded on September 7, 2022Hi, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. I completely understand your frustration and want to communicate that this is below our standard. Our team works so hard to put together delicious dishes for our guests and that both times you were served them cold, is unfortunate. I offer no excuses; only a wish to make it right. I'd like to invite you and your guest back so we can deliver an better experience. Let me know if I can assist with a reservation.

After having had many excellent meals at North Italian, we left very disappointed this past time. Unlike past meals, EVERY food item temperature was tepid at best. The plate presentation was awful. We each ordered pasta items that were served in a bowl that was just plopped on the table. It looked like a small batch of leftovers you’d serve at home. In the past we always felt like it was a special night The food was presented well and tasted great. Huge disappointment last night.
North Italia - FranklinResponded on September 7, 2022Hi, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. The plating and food temperature description are not at all our standards. As someone who has dined with us before and had better experiences; I can understand how this would be frustrating. I appreciate your honest feedback and know that it won't be overlooked. We will make this a focus in our upcoming shifts. Please let me know if you plan to come back soon; I would love to stop by and say hi! Colin Corbello Assistant General Manager

North Italia is always consistently good. The place is busy. The only thing we always have trouble with if getting things in the order we ask. We try to order in the order we want them. For instance we sat down and ordered drinks and app of Shrimp Scampi. The app came out right away and we waited on our drinks. We could see they were sitting a the bar. We had to ask for them. Then we ordered wine, salad, and mains. The salad took a long time for what ever reason and it came out with just ahead of the mains. We had to ask for our wine. Everyone is busy and we are being asked if we need anything all the time. The food is always great the service is always good.

Food is fantastic, service was good. It's so dark in the dining room though! I have perfect vision and my date and I were holding the menus close to our faces ;)

This was my fourth visit to NI. Every other experience has been great. Sunday's was terrible. 60 minutes to receive food and then the delivery order was wrong. Also it took 40 minutes for one of my guests to be informed what they ordered was no longer available. The the item the guest ordered was not what was delivered to their seat. The the meal that was delivered was taken away and additional time ensued for the actual order to be delivered. The manager should have comped all of our meals. Instead they removed half of it. Every restaurant has a bad day. I will still go back. But can't ignore this one.
North Italia - FranklinResponded on August 31, 2022Hi DavidH, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I'm am sad to read that we didn't meet the standard that I know North Italia Franklin can deliver. The wait time described is way out of our standard and even after the correction we still dropped the ball. I appreciate you giving the honest feedback and we will use this to only improve our team. I trust you will give us another opportunity to show you that we are better than this experience. Cheers! Colin Corbello AGM

Love the vibe of North Italia although it’s very loud when crowded and difficult to have a conversation easily. Food is good but overpriced for pasta, especially for lunch. Would like to see a lunch menu. Everything is priced separately. You have to pay for bread and oil. Seems like this should be included at the price point of the pasta. It does appear that they are using fresh pasta. Total for my lunch with tax and tip was $31 and I got water to drink. This seems high for spaghetti and meat balls at lunch.
North Italia - FranklinResponded on August 31, 2022Hi Jules, Thank you for the honest feedback. I apologize that we didn't deliver the standard that I know North Italia can. We do offer table bread upon request and can accompany some olive oil/balsamic as well. Any of our staff would be happy to provide this for you on your next visit. I believe our biggest miss was the pasta not tasting fresh. I have passed this back to my chef's to make sure we are offering the freshest pasta possible. Colin Corbello Assistant General Manager

Over priced, too noisy inside, it’s obvious they’re scrambling for help and the hostess stands like a bulldog at the front entrance barring entrance and smiles when staring the bar patio is closed

We had a very attentive and professional waitress. Food great except one area: the salmon was terribly over cooked and inedible. We were offered one free dessert to share.
North Italia - FranklinResponded on August 31, 2022Hi CynthiaM, Thank you for the 5 star review and the kind comments to our wait staff. I'm sorry to read that your salmon didn't turn out right and that we couldn't fix it in the moment. Please let me know the next time you're in; I would love to stop by and say hi!
