    I loved and love everything about North Italia, that is why I keep coming back. But my last visit on September 3rd, 2023, I was a bit disappointed. As I sat at my table enjoying my appetizer I observe one of the servers (a male) took his hair out of the scrunchy that held it in a decent man bun, and start running his fingers through and through his hair for at least five minutes while flipping his head from side to side.( hair can easily end up in people’s plate as he was standing directly under an AC vent). He proceeded to serve food without washing his hands and or putting his hair back in a bun- this for me was a turn off. I would recommend, but tell people to be cautious of the hygiene practices

    my review is based on the low side only because the noise in the restaurant is so loud not only from those in attendance, but from the music selection that is a continuous thumping sound that one can't have a conversation with their companions without shouting. It is unfortunate because the food is so good with good service.

    My husband and I had a fun time dining here recently. We weren’t starving this night so he ordered the small house salad and calamari-both were really tasty. I had the Caesar little gem salad which I would get again and the shrimp scampi from the small plate section. That was off the hook! Came with toasted bread to scoop out the sauce in the little pan. I’ll def get that every single time. We had wine but I don’t recall what it was. Our waiter was amazing too, cute and fun! Well done!

    The wine was warm, and when we asked for it to be corrected, they brought us another glass of warm wine. The food was very slow coming out, and when we asked about where our food was, the waiter said, it’s a Kitchen‘s fault not mine. Not wonderful.

    Delicious franchised restaurant. Pretty affordable considering it’s in downtown Santa Monica. The half roasted chicken has moist and crispy. It did have a hair in it… overall, I enjoy coming to this restaurant. We had reservations and we waited an extra 20 min to be seated. The food took awhile to come out. Maybe bc the chicken being roasted was the reason for the entrees to come out after 30 min. The chocolate dessert with cherries was a miss. The servers are upbeat and friendly.

    Food portions are somewhat small for the price. Great drinks and excellent service. My short rib pasta was chewy and very small amount of short ribs. Very loud inside, if that's an issue for some. Probably will go somewhere else next time
