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.

My experience was great. I had the feat of the 7 fish menu. The food was exquisite, my server was knowledgeable, attentive and professional. The ambiance and the decor is very cozy, romantic but modern. What I could criticize is the wait between the course went a lil over the reasonable time considering that the restaurant was not crowded. The ladies room decor did not meet my expectations considering the restaurant standard and price. Overall, I would rate it a 8.5/10
