    Food and service always good. Sometimes on a cold day the open doors make it uncomfortable.

    We enjoyed our Valentines Day dinner. I had red wine poached pears with burrata and arugula for my starter and the bolognese. Both were delicious!

    Great server and food. Love this place! Only a short distance from home. This is always do-able, but a bit pricey!

    Three of us had great lunches today at North Italia. I had the seasonal vegetable salad with kale, butternut squash, Brussel sprouts, pecorino and pistachios with a delicious vinaigrette, and my dining companions both had the soup of the day and the salad featuring beets, goat cheese and chicken. We like North Italia because the food is consistently great and just a little bit different. The service was attentive but not overbearing. It was just a little bit noisy this time, but we'll be returning!

    I had high hopes for this restaurant based on prior reviews, but I was sadly let down. Let's start with service. This was great, and the waitress I had was excellent. I ordered an appetizer of the grilled bread with "good" olive oil. The good part of the olive oil is just regular extra virgin olive oil. My appetizer came, and it was delicious. There was shaved cheese on it and a balsamic drizzle, but not too much to overpower the cheesey char and hints of garlic. Next came my meal. If the bread was this good, my meal had to be as well. Sadly, here's where I was let down. I ordered the scallop meal with parmesan risotto, butternut squash, brussel sprout leaves, fried shallot pieces, and calabrian chili oil drizzle. Let's start with the good. The scallops were cooked perfectly and had great flavor. The rest of the dish...flavorless. The risotto was just there. There was no tang from the parmesan and it hadn't been cooked in a stock or anything to impart flavor. The butternut squash had not been partially boiled or cooked, so you're chomping down on uncooked unseasoned chunks. The brussel sprout leaves didn't seem to be partially boiled or flash fried for crispyness, and the chili oil was not spicy as all. Nothing on this dish, with the exception of the scallops, was seasoned. Overall, I get the concept. They have a few locations and places struggle to appeal to all palettes, so everything is made with a baseline spice or a certain way. But a little garlic salt, black pepper, and onion powder go a long way. The price for the bread was $9.50 for 4 pieces. While it was the best part of the meal, it's worth $6.50 at most. The scallop dish was $36. You actually get a decent amount of scallops, so I won't factor that in, but the dish itself belongs around $29 or $30 and needs some serious spice help. I saw other dishes coming out that looked great, but if I went back I would proceed with caution.
