    The service was slow. The waiter checked on us once, about 20 minutes after our food was served. The food was just average, nothing special. For the price point, it was a little disappointing.

    Ordered pasta and pork Milanese. Pasta was good but port Milanese was tough to cut because over cooked.

    Service was smooth & friendly. Good knowledge by staff of wines & menu. Pasta was cooked perfectly and served hot. Sauce was exactly as described. Altogether a very good experience.

    Great service from Maria. However, dishes were just ok. One dinner plate arrived 5 min after others already received theirs. One entree had three tiny pieces of chicken, which was not typical of the dish. The kitchen did correct it. Overall a B- experience, hope they can improve in the future.

    Dining at North Italia could not have been a better experience. The Marco Polo was a nice twist on your classic Penicillin, with a medley of italian liqueurs adding layers of complexity to an already delicious cocktail. Starting off with the calamari was an excellent recommendation from our server, Maria, and the lighter tempura batter provided a nice crispiness without the heaviness of a typical calamari. For the entrees, you can’t go wrong with the strozzapretti and spicy rigatoni vodka. The parmesan cream on the strozzapretti was so rich and flavorful while still being lighter than an alfredo, and the savory italian sausage in the spicy rigatoni paired great with the creaminess and kick from the sauce. The meal couldn’t have been complete without a freshly brewed espresso, and they even served it with a lemon peel, which I never see anymore! With the quality and attentiveness of the service, delicious food, and lively atmosphere, North Italia tops my list of restaurants in the Foggy Bottom area.

    Pretty decent restaurant if you are craving for Italian cuisine We tried the Arancini in appetizer. In entree we highly recommend the Grilled Branzino and the Trottole chicken Pesto Specially the Branzino had so much flavor and the sauce was awesome The pesto pasta was equally good The service was a bit subpar and the waitress hardly came over to ask what we needed. We need a spoon for the entree and by the time she came we almost finished our dinner
