    Italian Meatballs
    Emma P.

    recently opened at the brea mall, this new north italia location is ambient with a classy but semi-casual atmosphere. parking is free in the nearby mall parking structures and there's a nice, grassy hangout area right outside if you are waiting for your table. overall i thought the food was decent but not worth the high prices. for that reason i would say it's a fine choice if you're looking for a nice restaurant, but i do think there are much better italian options elsewhere. Sunday Night Lasagna apparently one of their more popular pasta dishes! i found out that they quickly run out of this dish so you have to come early to get it! it was hot, saucy and delicious. the portion is a bit small for almost $30 and i'm not sure if it's worth the price for me. Italian Meatballs served with 3.5 meatballs, this appetizer was meaty and delicious but not exactly worth the price imo. it's a great protein source and the meatballs are decently sized, but for the portion they give it's much too expensive.

    truffle bread

    So excited that North Italia opened a Brea location since it's so much closer than trekking out to Irvine! Brought my family out here and the restaurant itself is lovely - there are two separate outdoor patio spaces plus an indoor area that feels open and inviting. Unfortunately the experience didn't quite match up to the Irvine location. Our server was attentive in the beginning, but vanished for long stretches and we really only saw her when she dropped off our food and hand us the check. As for the food, I ordered my go-tos: bolognese pasta and truffle bread. The bolognese came out lukewarm and the pasta itself tasted too chewy like it had been sitting out for too long, and the truffle bread was pretty bland compared to what I remember from Irvine. The calamari and the hot honey prosciutto pizza saved the meal though and both were genuinely good. Overall, a bit of a letdown for a new opening, and I think I'd rather make the longer drive to Irvine until this location gets its footing.

    Chicken Pesto

    It is definitely a very hot and happening spot in the Brea mall. If you'd like a beautiful indoors and outdoors as well as great food, this is your spot. Pricing can be on a higher end so beware but the food and Service really live up to the expectation. We ordered a lot more than what is pictured, but I definitely recommend the squid pasta as well as lasagna. The squid pasta has a little bit of kick in it, which I like, but it may not fancy some of the sensitive pallets. In terms of the pesto, you can't go wrong with a chicken pesto. It's very heavily rich with cheese and dressing to perfection. What do see here as a Margarita pizza and to be honest the extra money for the green dressing was not worth it. It really is a green pesto sauce. But then again if your kid really likes the novelty effect go ahead. Definitely will be back and it's a really beautiful spot for all types of meeting, including business meeting. The sound can be a bit on the higher end (not a place if you like softer ambience) but hey blame it on the wine.

    Short Rib Dip Sandwich
    Linda M.

    North Italia is new to Brea, located in Brea Mall. The large restaurant is beautifully decorated and well lit. Upon entering there's a very large bar just to the left of the dining area serving great cocktails. There's a lovely patio for outdoor dining. Servers are quite friendly and helpful. The short rib dip sandwich was very good and came with a side choice of fries or salad. It was very filling, delicious, and a great value on the lunch specials menu.

    North Italia in Brea delivers a vibrant atmosphere paired with standout dishes. The earthy, savory Funghi pizza boasts a perfect crust, while the rich, perfectly cooked squid ink tonnarelli is an absolute must-try. Kitchen is a little slow

    Little Gem Caesar

    I saw the North Italia sign up come up a few months ago at the Brea mall and was very excited because North Italia is one of my favorite quick Italian place. I was at the mall on a recent Saturday and realized it was finally open. It was a little past lunch so the hostess quoted me 15 minutes which was fine as I had a return to do. I also think that the wait could be super long so I would suggest making a reservation or putting your name down as soon as you get there for peak time. I got seated in a booth in the back. The restaurant was pretty spacious and looked like the other North Italia's I have been to. Although it was past lunch time, it was still pretty packed so the service was little slow, but I didn't mind too much since I wasn't in a hurry. I ordered my 2 favorites (little gem salad and bolognese) and a pizza (the Pig). The salad was great, it was flavored decently and I love the way they have the salad and dressing put together. The reason why I gave this North Italia a 2 star is that the pizza tastes soapy. I think it's because they didn't finish cleaning the pizza pan so the soapiness carried over to the pizza. Then the bolognese pasta was totally undercooked. I ended up eating the pizza, but had to send back the bolognese. Our waitress was super nice and accommodating. She asked if we wanted another one or a dessert, but by this time, it had been quite awhile since we sat down, so we passed. She also offered to take out the bolognese, which we opted to do. (The takeout bolognese although was cooked was a reverse and very overcooked). I think this location is still trying to work out some of the kinks. I will still be back but hopefully will have a better food experience next time.

    Crushed Meatball Ragu

    Our first time here. I am so excited to see a new Italian restaurant opened up in the Brea Mall. This is a nice, modern, spacious, and very clean restaurant. It has covered patio seating and lots of indoor seating. Be sure to make a reservation to avoid the long wait time. Both the host and our server were very friendly. Our server was patient and attentive. I love the dish she recommended. The Tuscan Hash was very yummy. It was flavorful; a good mix of piquillo peppers, onions, and braised short rib. The meatballs in the Crushed Meatball Ragu was amazingly soft and tasty. As if that wasn't enough, we stuffed ourselves with Pesto Chicken Gatlic Knot Sliders. Omg, they were so delish! All the food we ate was generous portions. I can't wait to come back and try the other items. They have such a wide selection of choices.

    Treated my sister to a birthday lunch here. I was prepared for a really long wait time, but was pleasantly surprised when they offered us quicker seating if we were willing to eat at the bar. To bypass the 1.5 hr wait I immediately said yes! The restaurant Ambiance is very clean and open. They have ample seating and service is very prompt and attentive. We tried their Hot honey & smoke prosciutto pizza, Italian Cobb salad, and spicy rigatoni vodka pasta. Everything tasted so fresh, was packed with flavor and fulfilled our N.I. craving! Will have take the family here next time!

    We came in the day before Father's Day and had a great experience. The food was good & the service was great! We really appreciated them taking off the kids pasta and allowing us to replace it with the kids pizza under the circumstance that my son would not eat the pasta. We truly appreciated it, my son very much enjoyed the pizza and allowing us the adults loved our entrees. First time at this location and so happy there's a north italia closer to him! Can't wait to be back

    North Italia is our favorite American Italian restaurant. We have visited quite a few of their other locations. So glad this new one is very close to us. We have been here almost every weekend since they opened. This is a very open and bright restaurant with a spacious bar serve both indoors and outdoors. We usually sit at the patio side of the bar. They play sport games on the TVs above the bar. We like to watch some games while having a few cocktails. We are familiar with their brunch and dinner menus. Our favorites are Funghi and cacio e Pepe pizzas, steak & eggs, mussels, seafood pasta, bolognese, chicken Parmesan, veggie risotto and market board. In fact everything we have tried was delicious in healthy portions. We have tried almost all the items on the menu. They also have fantastic choices of gluten free! The service was always very friendly. But it does get a bit slow when they are busy. This is absolutely our favorite American Italian restaurant and bar in this area!

    Stopped by on a Monday evening around 5 pm, and there was a wait of 10-15 minutes! On a Monday! Not a holiday, just a regular ole Monday! They use OpenTable to place you on the waiting list, so your name will populate with the phone # if you've used it before. I'm also going to assume they take reservations, which might be a good idea if you want to eat here on the weekend. This location has been barely open for a couple of months, so everything, including the restroom, still looks new. The first thing I noticed it's loud inside. High ceilings, lots of tile and glass, just let the sound reverberate. Throw in clanging dishes and silverware, and well, you can imagine. Believe it or not, it didn't bother me. It added to the place's energy. There's also a lot of outside seating, both in the restaurant and the bar area, so that might be quieter if the weather is nice. There's a mix of tables and booths, but it has one seating arrangement I absolutely loathe: the long shared bench. With only 2-3 feet between you and the next table, it almost feels like you're eating with strangers, and if they are loud, you're hearing the conversation, and then you have to speak over their voices, so they hear your conversation. It's just not really private. Naturally, this is where they first sat us, and right next to the main in/out of the kitchen, which we could hear. Not good. And I could tell my dinner partner wasn't thrilled, so we mentioned that if there were any other tables, they could move us to a circular table for 4, a little farther away. MUCH nicer. Our service was AMAZING! She introduced the day's specials and pointed out the cocktail menu. I'm always thrilled when a new place has Coke products (see my other reviews about Vegas and their dedication to Pepsi products). After bringing our drinks, we were ready to order. The Sunday Night Lasagna looked good, so I ordered it. Oops! They're out of Lasana! The server was kind enough to double-check, but they were out. Boo! OK, so I'll go with the Bolognese (House Specialty). I was actually looking for lower-calorie items, and the Lasana was the lowest, but the Bolognese took 2nd place, so it worked. My dining partner had the Squid Ink Tonnarelli. As we waited for the food, we both noticed a weak cell phone connection. Seriously, a 1st world problem, and we DO know how to have a conversation, but sometimes we need ChatGPT to solve a disagreement. The food arrived in about 10-12 minutes, which was a nice turnaround. It was served in two bowls. Mine was still piping hot; my partners said he wasn't as hot, but wasn't cold. However, both were AMAZING! I could instantly tell the noodles were made fresh. Thick, soft, tasty. The meat was finely ground into the sauce, so you always had the taste of meat in every bite. Being our first time, and with the disappointment in no Lasana, I forgot to ask if anything like bread came with the meal. It didn't look like it on the menu, but you never know. Our incredibly nice and efficient server checked on us, and my partner asked whether bread was included with the dishes. She said it wasn't, but she could give some complimentary bread. Perfect!! (Side note: I wonder if the complimentary bread comes with the Entrées? Maybe not? I'll let you know next time.) As we were finishing up, before I had finished my first Diet Coke, our server brought me another. Bonus star for passing the "don't let me Diet Coke get empty" test! I wasn't interested in dessert, but my dining partner decided he wanted something, so he ordered the Hazelnut Torta, and I'm glad he did. THAT was delicious!! I love anything with a warm make and cold ice cream on top, but this combination was perfection. Overall, for 2 people, the bill was about $100, with 1 cocktail and a shared dessert, and honestly, we both felt it was worth it. The service, the food, and the location's energy were all great. I know for sure we'll be back, and while the pizzas I saw on some other tables look really good, I'm hoping for the Lasana next time.

    We have a reservation for dinner, and I'm glad we did. This place did look like it could get super busy, so luckily our wait wasn't too long. Our server was really nice. She took our orders and gave us our items not to long after. I ordered their sangria, and it definitely hit the spot. I was buzzed even with eating a carb heavy dinner. We ordered their salad, truffle bread and squid ink pasta. All were very delicious and big enough to share. We heard a lot of great things about this place, so we were glad the expections were reality

    North Italia, specifically the brea location, was not the experience I expected as someone who's been to other north italia locations. For context, i was with three other people. I ask the waitress if my cousin and I can do half spicy vodka pasta ($27.50) and half strozzapreti ($26.50). We proceeded to wait over an hour for our food while the two other people got their food around 30 mins before (during the wait a food runner came to our table with food we didn't order and we had to tell her she had the wrong table). The manager then came and told us that the food runner gave my cousin and my order to another table. We then waited another 10 mins until we were served a half portion of each pasta. We then had to tell them there was a miscommunication and we had originally asked for a full size portion of each pasta just split between two people, and the manager came back and was nice enough to comp the pasta and dessert if we wanted some. We finally got our food after another 10 min wait, and the food was good, but my vodka pasta came with no sausage. At that point I had just accepted defeat and didn't make another complaint. I believe the manager did the right thing by coming to us and apologizing, along with our waitress apologizing, but it just wasn't the type of dinner I was expecting. The chefs took way too long with the food, the food runners didn't appear to even know what food was going to what table, and overall this location needs better service. I really hope they can turn things around, because I don't want other people to experience what my table experienced.

    Wow! We came for…read moretheir new Gatsby tea service and it did not disappoint. The ambiance is gorgeous and on point. We started with The Gatsby Effect drink which came in beautiful glasses and a tower that drips butterfly pea tea gin into your glass, changing the color of your drink. There's only one tower option with dinner. It comes with an entire 1 oz container of caviar with crumb fresh, chicken nuggets with crown fresh smoked trout caviar and chives, spicy ahi tuna wonton chip, mini lobster rolls, kettle chips, shrimp cocktail shooters, wagyu sliders, and chicken Caesar salad skewers. Nothing disappointed! Everything was high quality. Shrimp was plump n meaty. The service was great! Our waitress was very nice and checked up on us often. This was a great meal, great service, and great price! I would definitely come back

    We came here for the tea experience. This review is only for the tea experience. Okay, so this…read moreplace is very nice. They really do well with presentation. Service was just okay. Tea was really disappointing. Can you call it a tea experience when they use tea bags my loose leaf with a lack of a tea selection and have to share a tea pot with 3 people? This was a really big let down. It's not your traditional tea. Sandwiches were fine. I enjoyed a couple of them. The biscuit was good. They also didn't have scones and clotted cream. In my opinion not a true tea experience. Desserts were not good. The attempt made for the ube and pandan were more of a trend following technique rather than a true love in creating something delicious. It was a disappointment. The experience wasn't terrible it was just okay. Stick to a proper tea place is you are looking for a proper tea experience. If you want just cute pictures and just a great ambiance then you'll be fine coming here. I was between giving 2 and 3 stars for this place. I can't deny this was a cute place. $45 a setting... I didn't see the value. I think this place would be better for just pure brunch rather than tea.

    Some places sit in the back of your mind for years…read more I first came to Macallan Public House more than a decade ago on a date and always intended to return. Life happened, years passed, and somehow I never made it back. Fast forward to today: I was driving my Tesla, jokingly asked Grok to take me somewhere for a beer, and it pointed me right back here. Walking in felt like revisiting a place that had been quietly waiting in the background of my story. The centerpiece is still the incredible bar. Shelves stacked floor to ceiling with whiskey bottles, glowing green tile behind the taps, warm lighting, and enough character that you can spend half your time simply looking around. It's the kind of room that feels both energetic and comfortable at the same time. I grabbed a seat at the bar, watched a soccer match on the TVs, and ordered an Old Fashioned. It arrived exactly the way I hoped it would: large clear ice cube, generous orange peel, balanced and smooth without trying too hard. Just a well-made classic cocktail. What stood out most was the atmosphere. These days I'm much more likely to be exploring hiking trails, photographing wildflowers, or driving mountain roads than spending time in bars. Twelve years ago, places like this were a much more regular part of my life. Coming back reminded me why I enjoyed them in the first place. Good conversation, a comfortable seat, a quality drink, and no rush to be anywhere else. The beer taps looked extensive, the whiskey selection seemed endless, and the entire place struck a balance between neighborhood pub and whiskey destination. Funny how a random AI navigation suggestion brought me back to a place I'd been meaning to revisit for over a decade. Glad it finally did. 5 stars.

    Macallan's has the look of an Irish pub; dark wood, Celtic décor, the whole atmosphere is there…read more But if you're going to lean into Irish identity, the details matter, especially with Guinness. I've watched it poured straight into a regular pint glass with no 45-degree angle and no pause for the proper two-step pour. It comes out flat, with barely any creamy head, which completely changes the texture and experience. Guinness isn't just another draft beer; it needs to settle, and it should be served in a proper tulip or Guinness glass to get that classic presentation. The fix is simple: slow the pour down and train the staff on the traditional method. The pub has the vibe. Now it just needs to respect the pint.
