Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Ladera Ranch

Phenomenal pizza and service is perfect. You must make reservations though!

First time diner, fantastic experience only comment on the food was the penne pasta with shrimp a bit heavy on the pesto. Other than that we really enjoyed our experience.

Everything about this restaurant is wonderful! it's great they have live music Friday & Saturday nights!!! Luv hearing Dave Alcantar & Jeff on sax!!!!

We had an exceptional dining experience at North Italia! Our group of seven came here to celebrate my grandmother’s 85th birthday while family was visiting from out of town, and it could not have been more perfect. The service from Austin was absolutely wonderful—attentive, friendly, and made us feel so welcomed on such a special occasion. The food was beyond amazing. The white truffle garlic bread and meatballs are a must-have for appetizers—absolutely delicious! For the main course, I had the chicken parmesan, which was cooked to perfection, and we finished the night with the tiramisu, a light and tasty dessert that everyone enjoyed. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it the perfect place to celebrate. My grandmother had a fantastic time and couldn’t stop raving about the experience. We will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend North Italia for both the food and the outstanding service!

Mangia Bene is always excellent! Been coming 2x/month at least for thirty years: business meals, family celebrations, meetings with friends, and solo meals. Chris Karas is a wonderful owner, and all the managers are responsive and professional.
