    First time dining in DC and it was really easy to get to, only yards away from a bus stop. It had a beautiful, soft lit atmosphere with rustic mirrors, lively plants, and wooden tables. It was odd at first to be sat at a four person table when just my boyfriend and I were eating, but it seems like there wasn't any two people table options (there were a lot of large parties at the restaurant). Each table had it's own faux candle and cute (real) flower in water. We got the risotto balls as an appetizer and it was DELICIOUS, wow the sauce was so good. Our server was very kind, attentive, and accommodating (my boyfriend wanted to change his drink after she walked away to place it and changed it without a problem). I ordered the lasagna and he got the rigatoni. WOW both were VERY GOOD. We also got the My Veronca cocktail - very yummy too. We also took part in the seasonal Bundt cake (apple white chocolate caramel) which was vey indulgent and a fantastic texture. Would recommend for a date or small gathering: families, groups of college kids were there, young people, and couples were all there. Our waitress was also very honest with us about he tiramisu (not the best since she had high standards) which I appreciated because I too have high standards for tiramisu.

    Honestly, I was so drunk with my friends and couldn’t read the menu but our waiter was perfect. He checked on us and helped us order our meals and never led us astray.

    Rashad’s service was amazing! He has a welcoming personality, knew the menu, and offered great suggestions. Through his recommendations we had the espresso martini, lobster, shrimp, crab stuffed tortellini, the garlic bread. Everything was amazing and we would love to the Valentine’s Day pasta on the full menu, it was all we could talk about that night. Thank you for a delicious experience!

    My experience was not great. I will not be returning due to how they handle their own mistakes with the check and the unprofessionalism of their management staff was. My original visit over a year ago, the a manager at the time was the reason my family wanted to return as he was courteous, professional, and made the experience fun for my entire family. The management staff now made me feel uncomfortable and as if I was wrong for a mistake they made that I pointed out to them. My family did enjoy their food and the ambience but due to how the issue was handled I would never return to this or any other north italia.

    Stormy was our server and she made us feel at home on Valentines Day. It was a super busy night with a lot of people and the music was jumping. Not ideal for a quiet, romantic dinner if that’s what you’re looking for, which we were not. Despite the crowds, our service was excellent - attentive and super friendly.

    I was excited to have dinner here as I have been to other branches and had a great time. DC North Italia was not it. The service was awful and it put a damper on the whole evening
