    This was our first time to Capolinea and we had a great time. Don't think of the restaurant as being within the Hilton Signia (which itself is a really nice hotel). The restaurant is very much its own unique persona....a beautiful dining room, excellent wait staff, very well-prepared cuisine, and an extensive wine list. Our dinner evening was a busy night for the restaurant, and they did not miss a beat. Really extraordinary. My compliments!

    Highly recommend the bolognese and the steak Milanese. Everything we had was amazing, from apps & drinks to salads and entrees. We were extremely pleased :) also recommend requesting one of the booths if you have a part of 4.

    The garlic bread has turned into my latest obsession. The moment I took a bite, I was captivated by its golden, crispy crust, which gave way to a soft, buttery center infused with ricotta cheese and garlic. It was so delicious that we immediately ordered a second batch, savoring every mouthful. We've even made a pact to come back, simply to indulge in that garlic bread again. We had dinner at North Italia on Christmas Eve with a party of four. We ordered a Caesar salad (enough for two to share), the branzino, two orders of bolognese, and the meatball pasta dish. All meals were delicious, the ambiance was perfect for the moment, and the waiter was pleasant and attentive. The decor is BEAUTIFUL, located right at the base of Lenox Mall. We will be back. Highly recommended.
