    Fresh and flavorful Italian food. The Farmer's Market board is a great (and healthy!) way to start a meal with friends. Both pizzas and pastas can be prepared with gluten-free options.

    Nothing was right from beginning to end. We ordered the veggie salad, and it had VERY few veggies (some were actually missing), and two little chunks of avocado. It was basically all salad. We had to ask for the veggies to be brought out separately. We had a couple of requests re: our meal-they were not done. We asked for bread-it was brought out after the meal was eaten and after making a few requests. Service was poor (a forgetful waiter that was MIA). This restaurant isn't inexpensive, for what you get it isn't worth it.

    Our server made our experience great, he was knowledgeable and checked on us frequently. The amount of food was great for the price points provided. I got the bolognese which was 10/10, I also did the Julietta for my drink and it was so refreshing I had 3. I finished the night with a butter cake and it was so good. everything was phenomenal; we will be back for another date night!

    We were celebrating our child’s graduation from GW and despite being packed with other celebrants, we did not experience any wait for our reserved table, service was quick and pleasant and the food was up to the usual high standards.

    A frequent visitor to North and have never been disappointed. The menu is not overloaded and - even though I usually end up with a pizza - everything I have had is tasty. The only thin I always miss is a small side salad option, maybe under the appetizers?

    The bolognese tasted like Nonna’s, I could taste the carrots, onions, ground beef slow cooked tomato sauce with love and Al dent tagliatelle- it was perfect - I would go back every time in DC just for that dish.

    From the time I sat at the table until a waiter arrived, more than twenty minutes passed. Then I waited another ten minutes for them to bring water and take my order, wich took almost half an hour to arrive. I waited because I was hungry and it took me longer to go to another place to eat.

    Great arrival--hostess was warm and welcoming! Were seated and friendly server took drink orders. He then returned and we explained we wanted to eat in three courses: burrata then a pizza then individual dinners. The burrata and pizza came to the table in less than five minutes, before we ever got our drinks. We requested they hold off on the third course until we had drinks and could eat what we had; we didn't want the last course arriving and getting cold. That was not well received. Drinks finally arrived and soon thereafter the third course. We'd planned to order a bottle of wine to go with the dinners but it came at us too fast to pace out the food and drink plan we had. Food continues to excel and will certainly return in hopes this visit was just a one-off.

    I was completely chocked when we found a small bug LIVE crawling around in the toasted piece of French bread. When I returned the plate and SHOWED the Manager he was not as alarmed as I would have liked. He mentioned something about small flies from the ceiling. Anyway we left and I won't be going back for a very long time. It's sad because I have been going for years (before) and happy to return after Covid. This was a crawling live bug that needs to be tracked down to the company who provides them with their bread. I

    Our visit to North Italia was a complete mixed review. The entrees were absolutely delicious. We ordered the Spicy Rigatoni Vodka and the Chicken Pesto; and had the rest of the experience been as good as the food, this would've been a 5/5 review. Our reservation was at 5:45. While our waitress greeted us shortly after sitting at the table, she dropped off water at 6:00, and did not come back to take our order until about 10-15 minutes later. We ordered drinks and dinner at the same time (~6:15). Our drinks showed up around 6:30 and our food took until 6:50 to show up. Someone seemingly in charge did come over to apologize for the inconvenience and worked towards making the meal right, which our table really appreciated. Maybe the waitress was having a bad evening or something went wrong in the kitchen, but the service other than the manager coming over left a lot to be desired. Service would've been rated lower had the manager not come over to our table. Food was truly delicious. We're likely to give North Italia another shot based purely on the food and hope for a better service experience in the future.

    We hadden als voorgerecht de aubergine en de burrata, heerlijk! Als hoofdgerecht hadden we rigatoni en pizza proscuitto. De rigatoni was lekker, de pizza was heel smerig. Er zat een vijgenjam op en dat smaakte van geen meter, net appelmoes. Al met al toch goed gegeten, maar een verkeerd hoofdgerecht gekozen
