Restaurant is pretty on the inside, although I highly feel they need concrete barriers at the exterior of the front entrance. Any car could plow right through and into the restaurant accidentally...or not. Please consider this for patron safety. But separately, we popped in and were pleased to get a table near the bar immediately. According to our receipt our server was Lexy L. We felt like she was very lukewarm at first encounter. There was nothing pleasant or friendly about her, it was hello and straight to the point. We ordered 4 menu items. They came out in decently quick manner. The steak panzanella was a scam. There were like 3 whole steak pieces for 22.00. Taste wasn't anything to write home about. Chicken pesto lacked seasoning, salt specifically. The bolognese papardelle came out and was a tad undercooked. The noodles were a little tough still. And lastly the heirloom burrata. It was good, but again, nothing spectacular. I hate paying for food that doesn't make me want to come back and enjoy it again. Im not new to north italia been dining at it plenty of times in California. I think the lackluster service kind of dampened things but the taste was off tonight. Had to wait for our drink, and then follow up refills too. Although she handled us, the service was lacking. read more

Enjoyed a mid-week Mommy + Daughter dinner at North Italia. It was busy as usual, but we had a reservation and were seated upon arrival. Our food was good, portions are big. And made for a delicious lunch the next day! I tried the Ricotta Cavatelli with lump crab and tiger shrimp. My daughter had their classic bolognese. We both liked our dishes. read more

Decent place with indoor outdoor seating. Tried it 3 times so far. I feel it's over priced cuisine with fine service. Beer was not cold but they did bring me a new chilled beer. Would go to local brewery next time. Would suggest to reserve in advance. Seating is good outdoor and indoor. read more

Stopped in for Happy Hour while visiting the area. We make it part of our ritual to order the Meatballs and Truffle Garlic Bread which were awesome! Also, we enjoyed the Sicilian Margaritas. The indoor/outdoor bar patio is very relaxing. The bar service was not as great as the last time. Unsure if one of the bartenders just wasn't having a good day. I was glad when another bartender assisted, he was friendly and professional. read more

I had a great experience during the lunch hours and have previously been for dinner! First of all the food is amazing! Everything is hand crafted and you can tell the company/staff pours into creating a great menu and experience. My fiance and I were in for lunch our server was Kyle T, he was amazing! He explained the menu and what certain dishes were. Beyond amazing service, our glasses of water were kept full the entire time same with our bellies!! The manager was also amazing they took great care of us. I 100% recommend North Italia in Gilbert. The ambience was great as well, everything is very clean and welcoming! The experience we had left us so happy and grateful for the people we encountered. Thank you!!! read more

We regularly dine in and love this place. But today doing an online pick up order I was very disappointed. The pick up area is not labeled, so it is confusing to see where you go for help. I ended up checking in with someone who "checked me in" and still I waited 15-20 minutes for my online pick up order (that was promised five minutes before I arrived). And I actually only got helped by someone the second time after speaking up and asking again. It is a very inefficient online pick up situation. I also needed to move four times because I kept getting in people's way. There should be a better designated spot for this. Then to top it off, this is my child's $11 buttered noodles. There are maybe 15 of them. I do not see this as a proper serving. I love this place and want to continue supporting, but tonight frustrated me. read more

North Italia - Italian Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Delicious! Everything was fabulous! Not pictured was the Grilled Bread & Good Olive Oil. That alone could have been a meal, maybe adding some meat and cheese. My only issue with the Meatball Ragu, the pancetta really wasn't crispy. But, if that's the only problem.... The young lady who was our server (didn't get her name), was fantastic! Kept our water glasses full, didn't rush us and was kind, courteous and very friendly. We went on a Friday night and the place was buzzing! Thankfully, I had made a reservation on OpenTable and we were seated within 5 minutes of our arrival. We had a nice table in a corner, which was nice because it was loud (with lots of people, that's bound to be an issue & open concept design), and we were able to talk without "yelling." This is a place to frequent for any occasion. read more

Stopped in for dinner one evening during the week. The place filled up right after we got there. The service was good and the food was mostly decent. There was one item I ordered that I didn't particularly care for, but that's ok. The prices are a little spendy, but most places near that area are. A plus to talk about was the free desert we received for my girlfriends birthday. It was super tasty and it even had a candle! read more

I had been to North Italia on a few different occasions. We previously enjoyed the chicken parm and their mushroom pasta. This time around we split the bolognese which was really not great at all. There was no flavor at all, the noodles appeared to be overcooked as they were stuck together in large clumps. We both had a few bites and left the rest. We did enjoy the hot honey and prosciutto pizza the flavor combo was great and I really enjoyed the pizza sauce. My only complaint there was the pizza ingredients slid of when you grabbed a slice, so maybe more of a fork and knife kind of pizza. To finish off we enjoyed the seasonal butter cake and an espresso martini. Our server was very attentive, the restaurant was very loud and it was hard to hear our server/understand him. He misheard us a few times and ended up bringing us to go boxes for the bolognese that we had not enjoyed. read more

We had lunch at their Gilbert location today. It was delish and reasonable. We chose an appetizer and an entree from their "summer match up" lunch menu, currently on sale for $25. My "simple salad" was fabulous as was their signature dish, the Bolognese. Our server Paige was attentive and very friendly. I'd highly recommend when you're out and about in the Southeast Valley. read more

Stopped in for an early lunch with a friend. The ambience was nice and the weather was perfect for outdoor seating. The bolognese was delicious, you can taste the fresh home made noodles. I have a weakness for fresh home made noodles. The the perfect texture and not over cooked!!! The salad was refreshing and the garlic truffle bread was delicious. I would definitely be back to try the other dishes on the menu. read more

Came in on a Friday night around 5 pm. We were originally told 30 minutes for indoor seating then we came back to tell the hostess we would just take a table outside and suddenly she could seat us inside immediately. Sweet! The whole place is basically a warehouse with tables. The ambiance is nice and modern but if you're looking for a quiet dinner, this isn't your place. It's LOUD. We ordered the grilled bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar as an appetizer. It was great. We were offered more bread to mop up the remaining oil and vinegar on the plate. Our server was outstanding. Very personable and knowledgeable of the menu. It has become rare in my experience, to get service like this anymore. They get an extra star for the service alone. I ordered the seared scallops, my wife ordered the bolognese. The scallops were seared to perfection but they were SO salty. The sweet corn risotto was a good pairing, but it lacked flavor. The bolognese is their house specialty. The sauce was very acidic. My wife said it tasted like chef boyardee. I couldn't disagree. Oof. Fair warning, if you grew up eating homemade Italian food, you're going to be disappointed. The pizzas coming out of the kitchen looked very good. I might go back and try the pizza or the pesto pasta. read more

We came with a larger group but were seated right away. Our server was fantastic and had tons of energy. Place was crowded but not too loud and they lowered the blinds as the sun was setting so it wasn't in everyone's eyes. The pizza was fantastic and perfectly cooked. We also got the chicken Parmesan which was huge and well worth the price. Everything was top notch and well priced for the value. read more

This place is great! Scratch kitchen, good vibes, awesome staff. The drinks are absolutely amazing! I started out with the Alta Rossa which was with tequila which was raspberry infused and it was heaven. There were so many awesome food choice we decided to share 3 dishes and each one was divine. We tried "The Pig".. just the right amount of spice from the 4 meats especially the sopressatta. The Lasagna Bianca with braised short rib was and absolute winner ( the only dish we had no leftovers). The bechamel sauce was so rich and tasty. Also we tried the Chicken Scarpariello which was also good. We were celebrating my birthday and the restaurant offered a dessert so of course I chose the Tiramisu along with an Espresso Martini. Epic! I have never had an Espresso Martini with Frangelico.. so good! read more

Sadly, as with many restaurants today the goal now is to reduce the portion as much as possible while keeping the price high, all the while hoping you won't notice. Also known as Shrinkflation. Once a restaurant crosses this unethical line it is no longer worth doing business with them. read more

North Italia - $26 for this - Italian Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

My friends and I came in for brunch yesterday morning. We had a party of 6 and were able to make reservations online. We got seated very quickly and were seated outside. They also had high chairs available for my little one! The hostess and host were very nice and welcoming, and when we finally met our waitress, she was terrific! She recommended to my their version of an iced mocha, and it was amazing. I wish I remembered the exact name, but it was very good and refreshing! The vibe was much needed for our out of town guest; relaxing and breezy. If you have NOT been to North Italia before, you really must. Our last visit was June 2023 for my husband's birthday and we loved our meal then. For brunch, everything was so good! My husband and I ordered the white truffle garlic bread (my little one absolutely loved this), the pollo fritto, and the sausage and asparagus omelet. The rest of the party ordered various things, but the calamari for the table and zucchini chips were so good! We look forward to coming back and our out of towners definitely can't wait to visit again! read more

We ate the pasta before we got a picture! This place always has great service and our server went out if his way to make sure that we felt taken care of. My daughter has a several shrimp and shellfish allergy and never had an issue eating here. The salads, pastas and desserts are so savory! You will leave here with a fully belly and heart. The food taste homemade even though it's a chain but the flavors will knock you off your seat! Everything we have every order is so good! Family friendly, great for large groups and perfect for date night. They have a huge indoor and outdoor area. Also a huge bar to enjoy a drink while you wait for your table. read more

Thank you for making it right after the issue. Great job Ashley for helping and stepping in

The pizza here is good, traditional Italian style. Salads are amazing, so is the atmosphere. A little expensive but it's an experience

I was seriously disappointed as the reviews seem to be good and the place was very busy, but I've never seen an Italian place charge you for the bread on the table before which was stale like over sized croutons? I ordered the Bolognese and it was very poor quality very little meat sauce and way too much large noodle. It's Bolognese. It's supposed to be mostly meat sauce not mostly noodle. We had two pasta dishes, one salad, one drink and one soda and it was over $100, I would not recommend. read more

First of all Kyle and Reanna were fantastic servers. There were 16 of us celebrating birthdays. Some of the best service and of course the food was delicious and everything was just excellent read more

Second time here for a birthday party with eight people. Party arrived early, but did not get seated until almost 30 minutes after our reservation time; and then it took another 30 minutes to get drinks. Ordered calamari and meatballs for appetizers, calamari came out about 15+ minutes ahead of the meatballs, but both were good, and the garlic bread with truffle butter came after the meatballs. Although one carrot slice and an onion don't qualify as "house made giardiniera for the calamari, I thought it was the best app we received. Chicken parm was okay, but the pasta was cold. Everyone seemed happy with their lasagna. I got the seared scallops with butternut risotto. Disappointing; the risotto was bland and gluey, and the scallops were barely seared. I wanted something light so I could try dessert. The special butter cake was microwaved; the center was hard (not overbaked) and dry. The salted Carmel bundino was inedible. The bananas and topping were good, but the salted caramel was burnt and sooooooo salty; like an old looney tunes cartoon, were your whole mouth puckered up and you could not talk, salty. While it was busy, and I would expect some delays, we were there almost three hours with too many long pauses between dishes and waitress check-ins. Our portion (no apps), food and three drinks was over $160. For that amount of money my expectation is a higher level of service and food that excites the palate. We will not be back... read more

Amazing food and good company. We had a really good waitress. The menu was sophisticated. read more

Our server was wonderful, and the food was good. But the way we were treated was shocking! We had been seated for about 45 minutes, and had pretty much finished eating. An employee approached our table and asked us to please continue our conversation outside on a bench as they were quite busy. We looked at each other in confusion, and then I said "we haven't received the check yet!" The employee then left without an apology or any other recognition that he had been rude and made a mistake. The server gave us the check and we paid and left shortly after that. It turned an otherwise nice dinner into an unpleasant experience. Everyone makes mistakes, but the real problem here was not taking accountability and really making it up to us for having treated us so rudely. read more

I really wanted to like this restaurant more. We went on a Friday night, it was busy but there were some open tables. I like the overall vibe a lot. Maybe a little on the loud side, but bearable. Super friendly staff, great menu offerings and spotless as far as cleanliness goes. We ordered 2 entrees. 1 ice tea. No appetizer, no dessert. $80.00, no side salad, no bread. If you know me and my Italian restaurant reviews, no bread served with pasta is an automatic 1 star deduction. Our server was Jesse. He was super knowledgeable about the menu and friendly. I did feel like he lost track of our table though. He didn't check back soon enough after our meals were delivered and as a result the parmesan cheese I asked for didn't arrive until I was about finished eating. Slow on beverage refills too. You charge that much for a meal, I better be impressed with the service. Another star was deducted because it just took too long for our food to come out. Don't get me wrong the food was expertly prepared and delicious. There are just too many other Italian restaurants in Gilbert I will go to before I try North Italia again. read more

When it comes to takeout, the food should be just as good as when dining in--especially for the price. I've ordered to-go multiple times trying to give it another chance, but it's been disappointing too often. I won't be ordering takeout again. Please do better. read more

I called in a to go order at 10:30. Originally I was told it would be ready at 11:15. AT 10:53 I got a call saying it would not be ready until 12:00. I went to the restaurant early and waited. I paid for my food. While I was waiting someone came up to me and apologized for the wait but said it would be ready at 11:50. A short short while later a woman came up to me and said that it would be ready at 12:00. At 12;00 it was not ready. I asked for the manager. He said the meatballs were not ready and it would now be another 10 or 15 minutes. I finally got my food at 12:18. What I don"t understand is that it was a family dinner and did not require cooking. I have no intention of returning to this restaurant. I should not have had to ask. The manager should have updated me on the time. The systems are obviously not working. read more

I came to North Italia for a friends birthday in early July and wish I could give this place 10 stars! Our server Brandon made the experience incredible. He was very knowledgeable of the menu and gave excellent recommendations. He was also very personable and made an effort to give extra time and attention to those who was their first visit! The chicken Parmesan with pasta was outstanding. The noodles were perfectly al dente with a divine Parmesan cream sauce, the chicken's breading was a perfect balance of crispy and tender with amazing flavor. Our party is truly indebted to Brandon for the wonderful service, he is a gem! read more

We enjoyed north Italia for our anniversary. We've been here a time or two before and this was the best experience we've had to date and the others were good as well. We felt we were treated like vips from the greeting, service, and departure, the entire experience was memorable and wonderful. We ordered drinks which came out very quickly, then ordered a pesto pizza and pasta dish which were both delicious. Finally, we had hazelnut torte and a chai latte for dessert which, due to our anniversary, was complimentary. Such a great meal and even greater service and ambience. Looking forward to our next visit! read more

We came to North Italia to celebrate Mother's Day with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and everything about our visit was fantastic. We started off with the truffle bread recommended by our server--absolutely amazing, especially paired with the creamy ricotta spread. We shared a bottle of Pinot Noir, which was the perfect complement to our meal. For entrées, I had the salmon with pearl pasta--cooked perfectly with a nice crust and so flavorful with the pesto. We also tried the spicy rigatoni and the short rib lasagna. The rigatoni had just the right amount of kick, and the short rib lasagna? Pure heaven. Rich, tender, and packed with flavor. The atmosphere was warm and lively, and the service was attentive without being overbearing. North Italia made our Mother's Day celebration feel special, and we'll definitely be back. read more

Food is awesome, patio is great because it is covered by the sun in the afternoon. Our waitress Alysha was great, she kept checking on us but could tell we weren't in a rush so didn't make us feel that way. She also brought a free dessert since we were celebrating our anniversary! I got the bolognese, the house specialty, and my husband got the short rib Marsala. Both were delicious! We also got the calamari, I personally am not the biggest fan of the tempura fry and it was pretty chewy so I would skip that next time. We got the shrimp scampi as well and that was delicious since I love butter and garlic! My biggest complaint was the parking. We went on a weeknight around 6 pm and we had to park at least a 5 minute walk away! I know there's probably nothing they can do at this point, but it would be nice if there was restaurant specific parking. read more

The way staff at this location treat paying customers is completely unacceptable and unprofessional. I called specifically to ask why the DoorDash driver was being ignored during a pickup, and the employee on the phone (Ella) hung up on me mid-sentence without resolving anything or showing any basic courtesy. This isn't just poor service--it's outright disrespectful behavior toward both customers and delivery drivers. Based on this experience and similar patterns I've noticed, this does not appear to be an isolated issue at this location. No paying customer should be dismissed or hung up on for asking a simple, legitimate question. Management needs to seriously address the lack of professionalism and customer service standards here. read more
