I recently visited North Italia with my mother and had a wonderful experience. I decided to start off with a glass of wine, which was absolutely fantastic. I also ordered the pesto chicken, but instead of chicken, I opted for shrimp. Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed with the dish. The shrimp in the pasta were not whole, but rather cut up into smaller pieces. Additionally, the pesto sauce was quite overpowering, my pasta was drowning in it and it didn't quite meet my expectations. However, I must mention that I have previously dined at North Italia in Atlanta and had an exceptional experience. So, I believe that this particular visit may have just been an off night, rather than a reflection of the restaurant as a whole.
A new Italian spot that I ran across during restaurant week. We were quickly seated in the front window by the door. The dining area is rather large. Perfect for large groups. They have a nice outside outside area for those diners as well. Service was pretty prompt. We did not have to wait too long for food and drinks despite the crowd. The food was really good. Seasoned and full bodied. Not bland at all. This is a contender and a new go-to for Italian at a reasonable price. The only complaint was the bathroom was dirty. Doesn't look like anyone checked or cleans it for hours. So I will be back to try a few other things on the menu.
Highly recommend! We got several dishes and shared everything. It was all great: eggplant parmesan, spaghetti and meatballs, crushed meatball pasta, shrimp scampi appetizer, garlic truffle bread appetizer, arugula avocado salad. Maria was our server and she was very knowledgeable and friendly. Yes everything is very expensive, but it's an experience. The only problem was it smelled like pee where we were sitting not even close to the bathroom. All in all a great restaurant!
Balanced & tasty Italian dishes in a laid back venture! Service was what needed to improve! The five star doesn’t go to the service, but the kitchen crew.

Second time: The service was really good! That is how important is rule of those friends who take care of service. People work hard and when go out for food expect to receive a service and food that bring them good mood. If any of these to is not right, the customer may not come back; but we did and I don’t regret.
The half & half pizza: Mushroom 5/5 | Pepperoni: 2/5
We went for lunch at this restaurant. The atmosphere was good, it is spacious with nice decoration and big tables. The bolonaise (this was a bit too heavy for me) and meatballs pasta we ordered were tasty and the portions were big. We also liked the salad with arucola and avocado we ate; it was fresh. Staff was so polite and helpful. We will definitely go there again.
Made a quick late-night dinner stop here. Opted for the funghi pizza and the spicy rigatoni vodka. Both selections turned out to be excellent. The service was truly exceptional – our waiter was attentive, assisting us in choosing our dishes and checking in multiple times to ensure our satisfaction. They accommodated our request to split the spicy rigatoni vodka into two separate portions, one with meat and the other without. While the ambiance can get a bit noisy, it was still an enjoyable experience overall.
Very nice food at good price near our historic Hotel Lombardy. Food came out fast and nice presented. The "small plate", are good size. I aldo had the aranchini, small balls of risotto on the spicy side, pretty good if you like spicy.
We will go back before we finish our vacation. And we went.
The food was amazing, the environment was extraordinary, and I liked the wine too!
I want to mention someone Jose who was very kind and attentive, he helped me to choose both food and dessert, he made my evening beautiful, I want to thank him very much! I think I will be back soon to eat other pastas ❤️🤍
We came for brunch and this place was great! The breakfast pizza Bomba style was delicious, the breakfast sandwich was huge. The spicy ketchup was wonderful. The drinks were refreshing. Super close to the metro, out door dining available, and not crowded at all for Sunday brunch at 12.
Really enjoyed ourselves. Nice, clean, airy, modern chic, but casual enough to be comforted in shorts and a t-shirt.
We had two pizza, two pastas and the chicken parm, all was excellent. Creamy, unbroken cream sauce, pizza had the perfect crisp and the chicken parm was fab!
