    Greeters seated us right away. Our server Avery was kind, professional and courteous. He took the time to discuss what his top choices, ensured our food came out as planned and we loved our time there. We are regulars. Thank you North Italia team. We had the margherita pizza, kale salad with salmon, Tuscan hash breakfast and banana coffee cake. Delicious.

    Everything was great. Food was good but the lobster tail was a bit over cooked and the sirloin and filet had a lot of fat. They are not to have fat. Otherwise the taste was great and the sides were awesome. Judy was a great waitress.

    Wonderful experience! Food terrific, service exceptional! The lasagna is the best in the valley! The only complaint? They need to serve more slices of the homemade appy bread! I could make a meal of that bread and a glass (or two!) of wine!
