    The food was good, but extremely overpriced. Lasagna for 2 was over $50.  My son had a gnocchi platter that had eight gnocchi and it was $30..  I like the atmosphere but it definitely was crazy overpriced for the quality and quantity.

    Visited this place for the first time and is definitely a hidden gem. The food was fresh and tasty and the service was amazing. Would definitely recommend trying the carbonara if you like white pasta, the prosciutto e arugula pizza, and their tiramisu is a must try. Overall I had a great experience!!

    We have dined at North Italia in Cherry Creek, CO several times. This was our first experience at the Fort Lauderdale location and it was just as amazing as CO. The staff and managers were so accommodating to us being a large party with several toddlers. They were as sweet as can be in making sure we were comfortable and felt welcomed. The food and cocktails were so delicious. Highly, highly recommend!!
