North Italia

Food was great. Service was good. Restaurant was very crowded, it gets loud. The manager and staff made sure all tables were aware of the food delay and we all were satisfied. The table shared Burrata Di Stagione, calamari and meatballs. All were appetizing, the savory meatballs, in a creamy sauce, were the favorite. Burrata Di Stagione rich and rustic. Golden brown Calamari cooked well, was bland. A few of us had the Grilled Branzino, well prepared, with fresh vegetables. The Tuscan Half Chicken juicy, a hearty meal, perfectly prepared. The Pig 22 pizza cooked to order, was plenty big. All the delicious meat toppings, beware it is greasy. I have food allergies, they were very accommodating. The server knew the menu well, was able to go over my options easily. Overall, was a comfortable experience for a large group.

I like to vet places before using them for team happy hours. I love North Italia, but I had never visited this location. I had really high hopes because I need a location close to the office. I decided to visit for lunch today. The restaurant wasn't full at all. Maybe 10mins after sitting down someone comes over. Not my waiter but a very nice lady. Appetizer was good. Entree i didn't like but they offered to bring something else. Only problem is the time it takes for anyone to come to the table. There's no way I could give more than 1 star. All of the waiters just walk around without speaking. No offer for refills and I literally had to look around in order to get someone's attention. If it was like this during the day with a near empty restaurant I can't imagine bringing a group of 20-30 people.

North Italia was a great let down. Visited on 1/26 and from the beginning of my dining experience things just felt a little "odd." I can't really put my finger on it. Every encounter we had with our server just felt weird. It was very awkward service if that makes sense. I don't want to jump to conclusions but my guest and myself felt that we were not fully welcomed here. The strange part was how "hovery" the waiter was. In such a hurry to collect the bill , but didn't seem too worried about our dining experience. This definitely upset me and ruined the rest of my day. I started with the "Soup of the day" which was the sausage, potato and kale.The soup itself was oily and bland. I tried adding my own salt but it was a huge let down. If your soup is bland and not seasoned that gave me a bad feeling to order anything else. Heavy on the potatoes so that soup would benefit from salt. Possibly even a little cheese sprinkled on top. It was terrible, and for $10 I would absolutely never order it again or recommend to anyone.Next was the Prosciutto fig goat cheese pizza. I don't feel their is prepared with care. The pizza itself looked sad. Just sort of thrown together. Small little sprigs of arugula, a tiny ration of goat cheese. ( I would expect a goat cheese pizza to at the very least have a little bite of goat cheese on each slice.) the prosciutto and arugula literally just slipped right off of the pizza when you pulled off a slice. The pizza came out cold which made it even worse. The flavors were sort of there, but it could use a major improvement.The restaurant itself is beautiful, however it over promises and under delivers. I had higher expectations for this place but the only good thing I had from here was the soft drink. If you are looking for a good pizza I highly reccomend you skip this place and check out Mister O1 Extraordinary Pizza Turtle Creek. Save yourself a bad experience and avoid this place

This was my first time ever trying this franchise. Amazing service and the food taste was 10/10. The drinks were a bit on the sweeter side and the drink recipes could use a bit of tweaking. Appetizer was delicious, calamari was cooked very well, but i wished it included tentacles with the rings, but i LOVED the marinara with the calamari. The entrees were delicious, I ordered the strozzapreti and my friend ordered the lasagna. No complaints about my dish however the lasagna did seem a bit small for the price, even for a lunch portion. I would have thought it came with soup or salad but this restaurant doesn't do that I guess. I could taste the homemade recipe and the noodles were fresh. I wouldn't mind coming back here but with so many Italian restaurants in the area I wouldn't put it at my #1. I did not use the restrooms here so no comment on that.

I'm a basic bolognese girly, and this hit the spot!!! The beef carpaccio tasted way better than I expected. I was pleasantly surprised!

I had an amazing experience at North Italia! The food was absolutely delicious, with each dish being expertly prepared and bursting with flavor. From the fresh pasta to the perfectly cooked meats, everything was crafted with care and high-quality ingredients. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was impeccable. The staff were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, making sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. It's clear that North Italia is dedicated to providing both excellent food and top-notch service. Highly recommend!

I actually don't really care for Italian food and I never crave it, but my friends loves it, so I decided to try North Italia for the first time, and it was overall, a pretty good experience. I'd recommend North Italia for a nice meal out, especially if you're outside of the mall and looking for a little upscale casual spot.Food: I tried the Zucca Chips based on recommendations from both my friend and the server. They were crispy and enjoyable, but it was a bit overhyped for my taste. They're great for fans of fried, crunchy snacks. For my entrée, I had the seasonal vegetable salad with added salmon and no goat cheese. The salad was fresh, and the dressing was on point. The fregola was a different flavor for me - not my favorite part, but I still enjoyed the overall dish. I did sneak a bite of my friend's pesto pasta, which was delicious, but noticeably heavy on the dairy, so keep that in mind if you're lactose-sensitive like me because my stomach did hurt right after.Service: Our waitress was very outgoing and friendly. I liked how she started with a conversation about food allergies and restrictions, which was thoughtful and helpful. I've recently become lactose intolerant, and she immediately suggested dishes without dairy or ones where dairy could be removed. Though it was a bit busy and we didn't see her much, my friend and I had a good conversation to fill the gaps, so it didn't detract from our time.Ambiance: The setting is sleek and dimly lit with a casual but mature vibe, making it a nice, convenient spot right outside the mall.

We did not have the best time at this restaurant. The service was very slow and not very attentive. The food was also not that great. However, it definitely was a vibe especially for a work party or a night out. Not sure if I would go back.

North Italia is one of my fav Italian chains! Consistently good (food and service). Though we frequent the Plano location more than I'd like to admit, we decided to give this location a try, and I'm glad we did! Everything from the atmosphere (beautiful decor) to the service and food was excellent. I would recommend North Italia as a whole and this location, too! For starters, we had the calamari, and wow, so yum! It was the perfect amount of crispy. The sauce that was paired with it added a nice tang, too. Our entrees consisted of chicken parmesan, spicy rigatoni (my absolute favorite!), cheese pizza, and short rib. The only complaint we had is that the short rib should be served differently--rather than in pasta, maybe with mashed potatoes and a vegetable or something else. The pasta and short rib don't make for the best combo.

I'm visiting the area and glad I stopped in for a quick bite to eat. The ambiance is bright and airy. Upbeat music is playing. The bar staff are very attentive and have their favorites to suggest. I wanted something light so I am enjoying the beef carpaccio. Most menu items are at about $24.
