    We love North Italia Del Mar, but it was evident that you were either short on staff or just very busy. Everything took an extra long time. Not the usual experience. But we still love you!

    This restaurant is my favorite fancy taco place with a fun vibe, friendly staff and really good selection of coctails. I liked their asparagus taco, it has a unique flavor. The Baja fish taco was also delicious. I had a Mexican Martini coctail as well, which was quite flavorful.
