    Red sangria glass happy hour $7
    Vijay C.

    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.

    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.

    Ciao, Bella!

    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.

    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.

    Calamari
    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!

    Courtney F.

    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

    Chicken Parmesan
    Jina Y.

    Went for Mother's Day and wow it was packed! But service was still what we needed. We ordered the yellowtail crudo which was generously portioned and a different take on what I usually expect with yellowtail appetizers. I liked it! And so did my kid and partner haha wins all around. Next course was steak panzanella which was kind of like a Cobb salad with grilled flank steak? It was nice and light while still filling with the boiled egg and steak . Next course was the chicken parm which was a pretty big cutlet with sauce and a white sauce rigatoni pasta on the side. It's very Mac and cheese esque which my kids enthusiastically appreciated. Final course was margarita pizza and it was so great, chewy soft and crisp crust , flavorful buffalo mozzarella. Great execution. Had a great time. Would def recommend a repeat visit.

    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.

    Good to go here after a good walk around the mall There wasn't any wait time and the servers are so sweet and helpful .The food was so yummy as well as the drinks

    Calamari Fritti
    Tyler D.

    Today we came to celebrate my sister in laws masters degree. Having lunch on Wednesday mid day/afternoon. Restaurant was not particularly busy. We were a large party of 10. Our server Becca was nice and sweet. She had several recommendations that we took for drinks and entree options. She was knowledgeable and helpful. My wife and I had the diavolo and donatella. Both drinks were splendid and enjoyable. The calamari appeared to have a beer batter texture that was lovely. The calamari was cooked well, good texture, and the accompanying sauces were savory and delicious. My wife had the smoked prosciutto pizza with bomba style topping. She raved over how delicious and fresh the pizza tasted. I thoroughly enjoyed the chicken Parmesan sandwich with a mixed salad. Overall, I think this place is doing good things. I can recommend the service, and the food. The men's restroom also appeared clean and well kept. Cheers and thanks for reading.

    Shrimp scampi appetizer
    Joyce E.

    Short rib lasagna is to die for! Short rib was tender and tons of flavor. Shrimp scampi appetizer was delicious and had large shrimp! Lots of fork tender garlic cloves but not overwhelming at all. Even the bread it came with was lightly toasted and soft in the middle. The portions were good, they don't skimp! Service was great even though they were busy. We didn't wait that much to receive our food. Our server was friendly and courteous. They also have a full bar and some TVs playing the game of the day. I liked the music they were playing. It was a little loud because of how many customers were in there but it was dinner and NYE so that was to be expected. Overall, on my 1st visit I was very happy with my meal and I look forward to trying more dishes. Thank You North Italia!

    Margherita Pizza
    Te-see B.

    Great place to meet up with friends! Located just inside Topanga Westfield Mall where the old "Forever 21" use to be. Plenty of tables and booths inside. Cozy up at the bar or grab a high top table. Open Kitchen concept to get a view at the Chefs hard at work making/prepping your food. Came here for Happy Hour on a Monday before catching a movie at the AMC. I enjoyed a lovely glass of white wine from Argentina and shared a Margherita Pizza & Meatballs with my girl Larissa. We enjoyed the ambience and our server was fabulous. The meatballs were good but had a bit too much grease for my taste. The pizza was spot on! I will come be back to try more dishes. *Plenty of parking in the lot

However, in my two most recent visits, only the atmosphere has remained a highlight -- the service has declined significantly. My most recent visit was two nights ago, on Father's Day, for a celebratory dinner. Our server was curt and unwelcoming throughout the meal. When my glass of wine arrived, the server suggested I taste it first -- which I did -- and it was immediately apparent that the wine had turned. Having ordered the same wine many times before without issue, I was confident this particular bottle was off. When I asked our server if the bartender could open a fresh bottle, she agreed without hesitation. However, moments later, a gentleman I assumed to be the manager approached and informed me that a new bottle would not be opened, as the current one had only been opened the day before and was, in his opinion, fine. His only alternative was to offer the same varietal at a higher price point. I understand that restaurants may have policies regarding open bottles, but in all my years of dining out, I have never encountered an establishment that refused to replace a glass of wine a guest found unacceptable -- especially when the server herself had encouraged me to taste it for that very reason. This experience left a lasting negative impression, and unfortunately I will neither return nor recommend this restaurant going forward.

We decided to come back with friends but on a Wednesday night at 6:30 instead. Sat at a table in the area where the music was but it was very loud and tightly packed with tables and guests. I could barely hear my friends due to the loud conversations, loud laughter, and just the acoustic affects in the restaurant were bad from that. We ordered steak, sides, and thought baked potatoes but got mashed instead. After we ate dinner we asked the manager if we could seat outside for dessert instead due to the loud noises around us. He brought us there but we had to wait at the bar outside till we were seated took an additional 15-20 minutes. After seated it was better than inside with a nice decor too instead. Dessert was ok service good. For such a high-ended restaurant and pricy food it's only avarage, inside decor pretty but very and tightly packed with guests and loud especially for a week day night kind of unusual, I was disappointed think it's a bit overrated sorry to say. I think Flemings, Ruth Chris, or Morton's are better food wise for the same price and dining experience and not as loud too. Think what could make it better is to thin out the crowded packed affect in the main inside dining area would help a lot too, or, if we ever go back sit outside instead I recommend. The service and staff there were very nice, friendly, and attentive and worked hard during service though. So overall raiting is a 3. Tuesday music night inside was good though think because the band is set up where tables of guests would be so less talking and guests listening to the music instead. Hope they make some changes to there inside seating there for improvements will and could help overall.

I was searching for an elegant dinner spot on yelp and this place popped up. After seeing some pics of the food and the ambience, I quickly made the rezzy and my wife and I were on our way. As you come in, it's like you enter another world -- one of elegance and beauty. You can't help but notice perfect ambient lighting and modern vibes throughout the inside dine-in area and as you enter their huge gorgeous backyard patio, you just know that you're in the right place. The seating area there is massive, with very modern finishes and towards the rear of the patio you have the most beautiful water feature piece, that looks like a human-size vase, with water running down the vase and being met by fire at the base. Just one incredible architectural piece that creates that posh, contemporary ambiance. After taking in the breathtaking design of the spot, we finally sat down and ordered food. We tried the tuna tartare, squash blossoms appetizer and my wife got a seabass entree while I got their highly recommended vodka pasta. All of the food was absolutely incredible, from the freshness of tuna tartare, uniquely wonderful flavor profile of the squash blossoms , to the yummy vodka lumaconi pasta and the most mouth-watering seabass that I've ever tried in my life. I honestly never thought a fish could taste so good. The seabass was charred on the outside and just incredibly soft on the inside. As you barely touch the seabass with the fork, a piece of succulent seabass gets separated simply due to the natural gravity of the fork. The taste is perfect. It's like they somehow cooked it with large piece of butter on the inside. The incredible flavor profile and the consistency of each bite of this seabass, were simply unparalleled. And to add to all this awesomeness, the bed of risotto was perfectly cooked and tasted fantastic as well. To finish off our meal, we decided to share their apple tart pastry and it too, was fresh, flavorful and that scoop of ice cream on top, made the pastry just perfect. This place hits a perfect trifecta, with its phenomenal modern design , incredible food and absolutely superb customer service. Our waiter Zach was extremely nice, helpful, attentive and he was just a perfect guide throughout tonight's culinary adventure. My wife and I are more than satisfied and can't wait to come to Casalena again!

The live band and background singers were amazing as well. There is plenty of street parking available. There's a chef providing food (I believe it rotates every week but I'm not sure). When I was there they had offerings like fries and wings. The garlic parm fries I tried were tasty and I wanted more. The bar was simple but the bartenders worked pretty fast. We ordered drinks 3 at a time so we wouldn't have to get up again and they were very efficient. I tried their margarita which was decent and not overly sweet. Don't worry I'm not a raging alcoholic, it was more so out of respect for the performer. They discourage walking around during the performances so everyone can see and enjoy no matter w The space itself is nice offering you indoor and outdoor space. The delicate hanging lights and plants are a nice touch, and the colorful lighting toward the stage area was very vibey. They also had hookah available, I'm not sure the cost. There's also a small digital Photo Booth at the entrance. The performances were great and so was the crowd. I'd love to come back another time and try more of the food and hear more live music. I loved it. This event has now moved to Andaz in West Hollywood

    Loved the happy hour here, where you can get good food and drinks for a good price!…read more I came by to check out their happy hour Friday afternoon around 4 pm and it wasn't too crowded. Happy hour is offered daily 3-6 pm and 9 pm to close and includes both food and drink specials. They also offer all day specials on Tuesday for Taco Tuesday. I had the LP margarita for $9 off the happy hour menu. It was a pretty good margarita! We started with their complimentary salsa. I was very happy to find that it wasn't spicy but still very flavorful. I'm a picky eater and usually don't like restaurant salsas, but this was right up my alley. We then shared an order of their guacamole ($8.25 hh), cachetada ($6.25 hh), and a couple of tacos ($4.25 each). The guac was amazing as well, made with ripe avocados and just the right amount of salt and flavor. It comes with a giant plate of chips which were still warm from the fryer. I just wish there was more of it! For the tacos, I tried the ribeye, the gochujang carnitas (monthly special), and the regular carnitas. The regular carnitas was by far my favorite. The gochujang was okay but I personally found it too sweet, and the ribeye was a bit bland. I didn't try the cachetada as it was way too cheesy for my personal tastes, but I would recommend getting this if you like cheesy foods. My friend said it was like eating cheese straight up.

    Glad I finally got to check this place out!…read more It's in the beautiful Vineyards shopping center in Porter Ranch, close to the AMC and Tifa Gelato shop (my gps had me park farther than needed). Extensive tequila and mezcal menu, Really attractive, sleek interior. Met my friend for a Tuesday lunch and discovered that all day Tuesday is Happy Hour! And, even better is that a la carte tacos on Tuesday are $3 instead of the normal HH price of $4.50! Aidan was our server-in-training and, while he was mistaken that I could sub mezcal for tequila for the HH, he was lovely. He was attentive when needed and also let us girls catch up! What we ordered and thought: -Chips and salsa brought to the table. Sadly both were mediocre; thankfully, this meant that I did not eat too many chips! -LP Margarita ($9 on HH); balanced and refreshing -Pacifico ($6 on HH) what I would expect -Madre Espadin Mezcal ($12) also what I would expect, though I wish the service were more authentic to CDMX, which is the vibe of the restaurant -Guacamole ($8.25 on HH) Fresh and tasty; again mediocre chips -Rib Eye Taco ($3 for Tuesday HH); had I known it was only 3 bucks, I would have ordered two. The meat was very flavorful and cooked beautifully, not overdone! -Corn off the Cobb Salad ($13.75) add Steak ($8.25) My friend LOVED her salad and also raved about the flavor, quality, and doneness of the steak. Great spot for lunch, as we didn't need a reservation, though from what people say, it gets very busy at night and on the weekends. They have a Sunday Funday that looks good, too!
