    I’ve been to this establishment a couple times. This has been my best experience by far. Service was great. They accommodated my request for a larger table. My sever Joey was attentive and engaging. The food was great. I recommend the Veal Parmigiana. Vinny, the GM was attending to customers through out the restaurant.

    The crispy artichoke stole the show. 10/10, recommend getting them. And thankfully the waitress recommended to add crispy chicken to the spicy gemelli - was the perfect addition!

    The food and service were outstanding. We love the "original" style crab cakes and the calamari is the best in town! The spaghetti with clams is awesome. All staff is well trained and very nice.

    I love North Italia, it is by far my favorite restaurant. I love that the pasta and sauces are made in house, every dish I’ve tried is so fresh. I love knowing I’m going to a place where someone is actually making my food and not just heating it up. The white truffle garlic bread is to die for and the chicken Parmesan is my favorite entree but you really can’t go wrong. I’ve always gotten amazing service. Really can’t go wrong here

    I ordered the Denver Roast and it was much better than expected. The roast was tender and seasoned to perfection. The mashed potatoes and carrots were delicious as well. The Tres Leches for dessert was 10/10. For my first cocktail I ordered a lemon drop. I drank it but it was not to my liking so for my second cocktail I ordered a pomegranate mule. I drank that one as well but would not order either of them again.
