    It's my first time here and u love it Amazing food , everything come very fast , our waitress ,,Tee was super friendly and so professional.

    Chicken Parmesan
    Will P.

    First time stopping in and was glad we did. We've walked past a bunch of times but went in today and tried the garlic truffle bread, the gem Caesar salad, and the chicken Parmesan. The price was a little more expensive than other Italian places, but not insanely expensive. The bread was delicious, one of the best garlic breads we've had for sure. The gem Caesar salad was refreshing and flavorful. The chicken Parmesan was very good, along with the Parmesan rigatoni. The best part was that we split all plates and it was more than enough food. Typically when we split plates, we leave the restaurant a little hungry but not here. We'll be back and I want to try the vodka rigatoni!

    This place is becoming our favorite - if not only - choice now for sporadic work dinners. 9 of us came tonight and everything was fantastic. Great service from Jasmine. Super friendly, attentive, great at explaining the dishes and letting us know what wasn't available. I got the bolognese and it was delicious. A couple beers from an impressive drink menu. 9 of us ended up getting $533 worth of food and we think it was well worth it for the quality and quality of food we got, the great service and the lovely ambiance of the restaurant. Didn't hurt I was also within view of the TVs at the bar to watch the dodger game and nba playoff game. All in all, the places continues to be a high recommendation for me.

    Made from scratch daily! Wow, everything we had here was amazing. We came by on a Sunday around 4:30pm and they were already out of a few items, so do come early to make sure you can order your first choice. Sadly, two of the main dishes we actually wanted to try were 86'd for the day , but I guess that just means they are THAT good (the Sunday Night Lasagne and Ricotta Cavatelli) Ok so first off the restaurant itself is very pretty and open. The bar area which allows you to sit on either side- indoor or outdoor is a nice touch. For the appetizers, we tried the calamari and the grilled bread (they were out of house made focaccia). For $5 you can add a side of whipped ricotta topped with pistachios, honey, balsamic, olive oil. GET THIS! Delicious. The calamari was also very good- super light crispy batter. For the entrees, we ordered our second choice items- Spicy Rigatoni Vodka and strozzapreti. The pasta is FRESH and cooked perfectly. The flavor profiles on both also hit the mark The margherita pizza is also good- the dough is thin and not too saucy. Just right! If you are going to order dessert, you must order the butter cake. It's seasonal so they switch it up about every three months but I have no doubt that whatever version they have it will be a winner. This time is Banana caramel and OMG sooo good. That buttery caramel stole the show- not too sweet. This was a crowd favorite. Will definitely need to come back to try our first choice items and honestly I hope it's soon!

    The Lump Crab and Shrimp Ricotta Cavatelli knocked it out of the park. I really enjoyed how it paired so nicely with the seafood and it was light, airy, and refreshing. Christian C recommended it and I could not have been more pleased! Thank you for a delicious meal and experience.

    Such a great spot! I enjoyed all the food I got here. I recommend making a reservation so you don't have to wait long. I recommend the Yellowtail Crudo, Margarita Pizza, and The Roasted Beet and Chicken Salad. The tiramisu was so yummy too if you are a fan of coffee. The salad was so refreshing and the pizza was not too filling. The pasta was a bit too filling for me but the taste was good. Overall will be coming back, I loved what I got! I will say the prices are a bittt high so that's the only downside I have.

    North Italia at Westfield Topanga is bringing serious Italian flavor to the Valley, and after this meal it's easy to see why it's a standout in the area. I've been to the other North Italia location as well and this one is right on par -- consistent quality across the board. We started with the White Truffle Garlic Bread ($16.50) and it did not disappoint -- soft, pillowy, and absolutely amazing, with that white truffle aroma hitting you before the first bite even happens. A must-order starter. We also added the Caesar Salad, which was fresh, crispy, and dressed with an amazing dressing that elevated the whole dish. For mains we had the Braised Short Rib Lumache and the Chicken Parmesan ($28.50). The short rib was delicious, prepared more in a ragu style with the meat shredded throughout the pasta. The flavor was outstanding, though personally I'd have preferred bigger, more substantial pieces of short rib rather than the ragu style presentation. Still a great dish overall. The Chicken Parmesan, though, is where this meal really shined -- one of the best chicken parms in the city. Juicy on the inside, perfectly crispy on the outside, and smothered in a rich marinara with melted cheese. This dish alone is worth coming back for. The service was outstanding -- every single person we interacted with was knowledgeable, attentive, and a genuine pleasure to deal with. The environment is welcoming and well designed, and they seated our party of 6 with ease, no hassle at all. Prices are on the higher side, but you genuinely get what you pay for here -- the quality, portion sizes, and overall execution justify the cost. North Italia is doing Italian food right, and the quality across every dish we tried was consistently excellent. Highly recommend for a special dinner or even a casual night out in Topanga.

    There are several reasons I joined Yelp and post reviews regularly. Chief amont them is to help the hospitality industry during difficult times, as those we have been in for a few years now. I try to focus, whenever possible, on niche places, Mom & Pop spots, one-offs because they work hard to make life interesting for the rest of us. But, every so often I run into a chain that is so spectacular that I cannot resist returning to it again and again. One of the very best nation-wide chain restaurants is North Italia, with over 50 across the country. And, the one at the Westfield Mall, Topanga is a great example of why that is. First, it is sunny, spacious, and airy during the day. One whole wall is open and people can be seated at the bar both inside and outside on the dining patio. Inside are tall ceilings and multiple seating options. I particularly like high-top tables. There was catchy dance music popping over our heads in an upbeat way, the whole time. And every surface was immaculate. Second, the service is literally over the top. We had no fewer than five people taking care of us, even the bussers were friendly and attentive. Next, is the menu. There are quite a few familiar items but many that I don't think I have seen elsewhere. There is a lot for vegetarians and even vegans. You can view my photos for the choices we made, which was hard because there were many dishes I wanted to try. Finally, there is the quality of the food. It was all superb, every single item. Nothing needed to be any better -- it was among the best I have had anywhere. All in all, we had a delightful experience and one I plan to repeat. I only wish they would open a North Italia nearer to me. That day is bound to come! Meanwhile, if you are anywhere near any of the Valleys, make sure you visit the Topanga North Italia.

    Daniel M.

    Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. Delicious food. Amazing atmosphere. Serious this place would rank up there as a place to bring a date. It's that great. Calamari crispy and not oily. Pizzas are perfectly made. The dessert is j credibly delicious. They even have a full bar. Julian our server was absolutely on point. The never ending waters and sodas. Didn't have to flag him down. Food came out in a timely manner. Oh and the mussels were incredible! Will definitely be coming here more often. Thank you Julian and thank you to the management for hiring him!

    Wow, was not expecting to love this place like I do. We got - braised short rib lumache pasta - burrata di stagione - prosciutto pizza bomba style My mouth is watering again just thinking about this meal. The only thing that was mid was the dessert we got. It was some kind of sugary dough with applesauce. Not good at all which was a bummer but with everything else being stellar I'm not that mad lol

    Tiramisu*
    Betty S.

    First time dining at North Italia. I had such high hopes that the food and pasta was going to be amazing given that they make their pasta fresh daily. I decided to order my main food from the Dine LA Menu. We started with an order of the home-made Focaccia bread. It was basic. It looked better than it tasted considering it had a ton of oil on top. Next up was a Chopped Caesar Salad which was doused in dressing. A lot of dressing! I only ate a small portion of the salad. The flavor of the dressing was ok. Had a strong Anchovy flavor. My husband had the Simple Salad and he said the same thing about it having way too much dressing on it. We ordered the Crispy Eggplant Parmesan appetizer which was very oily. My main dish was the Bolognese with Tagliatelle pasta. The pasta was over cooked. The Bolognese was mid-level. Not the worst and not the best I've ever had. For dessert I opted for the Tiramisu. Sadly, it was so dry!!!! Not sure what happened there. Our server Mark was very attentive and very nice. The food came out in a timely manner and I feel everyone who helped serve our table did a nice job. The restaurant itself is very beautiful. It's a rather large restaurant. Come to find out the owners of North Italia also own the Cheesecake Factory. I doubt that I would return.

    I mean WOW. Everything was perfect, from the very first greeting to the last goodbye. Highly recommend to check this place our when in LA if you want to taste some good Italian cuisine. Madeline was friendly & amazing!! Fantastic customer service

    I enjoy going to North Italia at the Topanga Mall. Food is very good and the vibe is lively and fun. I do however want to revise my original review to update my fellow yelpers on a couple of important things. My impressions of the location, venue, food and drinks have not changed. You can read more about them in my original review further down below: Service 3 stars (down from 4): Completely server-dependent. Our last visit unfortunately received slow and infrequent attention. Our server was friendly and polite but not as attentive as one needs to be in an upscale restaurant. Management 2 stars: I was disappointed that on the check they recommend the tip amount based on the total after tax, which is not correct. Tipping is customarily calculated based on the total before tax. Some restaurants have been trying to do this recently which I find misleading and I will be calling them out on it. I have posted a picture of the check. The Bottom Line 3 stars: The food and drinks are still delicious! North Italia is one of my comfort food destinations when looking for no nonsense, delicious modern/American Italian food nearby with a trendy and upscale vibe. I sincerely hope that they would address the service inconsistencies and their misleading tipping recommendations.

Majority of the people sat inside. We opted for outside which there was another guy already there. It did take a little while till we got served. Didn't know if it was better to go back inside to order or just wait till he saw us. It was a little wait but he did finally come outside to take our order. Just a simple beer this visit. Normally we opt for their cocktails which has always been nice. But beer list, they only had one on tap. I don't know if it's the only beer they have available period. We did overhear someone asking about the cocktails and if they could make it less sweet. But found out that they're premixed. The area is quite beautiful outside with the flowers overflowing at the bar. Nice outdoor patio with covered tables seating. There used to be a nice tree right in the middle but has been removed, maybe it died. There's also a nice water feature. Between inside or outside, outside was nicer in my opinion. Inside is more of a bar experience. And the bartender was sweet and friendly.

You wouldn't have known. Small chill bar inside and tables outside. Perfectly located at an entrance of Topanga Social, as well as the bottom of the main staircase. Ok now that I got all that out of the way. Allow me to have an America's Got Talent moment and hit that golden buzzer. Our bartender is thee server of the year for me. Kaylee is outstanding. Knows all the drinks and its ingredients, shared in our conversations, smiles to brighten up the gathering, and such a friendly gal that it felt like we've known her for a while. Her southern hospitality is authentic and her charm is genuine. Even after our dinner next door, she waved and said good night to us as she was cleaning and closing up the bar. Just outstanding all around. So please everyone, if you come here or the main bar further in, ask for Kaylee by name. Your evening will definitely be elevated with her presence. And ask her about the cute flower tattoo on her arm. Thank you Kaylee!
