    Bolognese (House Specialty)
    Patricia T.

    Cute place to check out if you're craving Italian! It was my first time there and I enjoyed it. There's a lot to choose from the menu so I had my friend order for me/us to share on the table. Apparently he was actually craving the White Truffle Garlic Bread and that was the prime motive of taking me there. Which, I don't blame him! It ended up being my favorite out of everything we ordered. The Spicy Meatball Pizza was delicious, for whatever reason I wasn't expecting it to actually be spicy...so I was surprised when I felt the kick. The Bolognese wasn't as good as the others, but by no means was it bad. I do like the texture/size of the pasta noodle though. Customer service was great and attentive as well despite being on a busy Saturday afternoon.

    OK, so we had date night here. We drove over an hour. TOTALLY WORTH IT. Dexter was the bartender for the evening. He made absolutely amazing espresso martinis, we ordered the focaccia appetizer and realized we also wanted the ricotta that went with it, but this man brought me oil and balsamic for it as well, and I could eat that every day of my life!! We sat in the bar area so we could watch the finals so thankful we did the food the food the food. Absolutely amazing! Can't wait to go back and work our way through this whole menu.

    I love this place. From the mocktails to the appetizers to dessert, North Italia has become one of my go-to spots. I consider it a really reliable chain, and I'm even more excited that they're opening a Katy location soon. If you're looking for thoughtful, flavorful Italian dishes that aren't your typical Olive Garden (no shade, I'll always love a soup, salad, and breadstick combo lol), this is definitely a spot worth checking out. The space has a great vibe, dim lighting, tea lights, fresh flowers on the tables, a beautiful bar up front, and a semi-open kitchen you can peek into. It feels elevated but still comfortable. Seating is great too, the booths are actually spacious and cozy. Standouts from recent visits: don't hesitate to order any of the items I ranked 5/5! - White Truffle Garlic Bread (5/5) - Cacio e Pepe Arancini (5/5): Creamy, rich, and the pesto aioli delicious. - Calamari (4/5): Excellent batter - Little Gem Caesar (5/5): dressing is amazing. - Arugula & Avocado Salad (5/5) - Trottole Chicken Pesto (4/5) - Zucca Chips (5/5): So good, especially the sauces. - Roasted Salmon (5/5): Cooked perfectly - Pizza (4/5): The dough here is incredible. I'd rec the margherita, hot honey & prosciutto, and the pig. I've also heard great things about the prosciutto pizza. - Pear Sorbet (4/5): Light and refreshing - Hazelnut Torte (3/5): Was really excited for this one, but it fell a bit flat, a little dry. - Piña No-Lada (5/5): My go-to mocktail. I order it every time. One sad update, the Pork Milanese was removed from the menu . I fell to my knees. That was one of my absolute favorites. I'm holding onto hope that it makes a comeback in a future seasonal menu. If you see this on a future menu, order it and I mean now lol! Speaking of menus, seems they are rotating things a bit. On my most recent visit, they had an additional smaller menu featuring new and reimagined items. The servers did a great job walking us through all the changes/updates. Their service deserves its own moment, because it's honestly some of the best service I've experienced. I don't know what their training process is, but every single person I've interacted with has been kind, personable, and genuinely attentive. They take the time to make sure you're having a great experience, and it really stands out. Hands down the best service I've ever received. For parking, you've got options: street parking (metered) or nearby garages, which are free on the higher levels. I've done both, and neither has been an issue. North Italia continues to be a spot I'll come back to again and again. Great food, standout service, and a consistently enjoyable experience. Already looking forward to my next visit, and especially excited for the Katy location to open!

    Black Mediterranean Mussels
    Raven E.

    We were seated right away on a Saturday night with no reservation and as a table of 4! Immediately loved the ambiance and feel of the restaurant. Our server, Kiara, was AMAZING and gave wonderful recommendations since this was our first time here. Appetizers - House Made Focaccia, Black Mediterranean Mussels, and Calamari Fritti Entrees - Seared Scallops, Braised Short Rib Marsala, Spicy Rigatoni Vodka with Blackened Salmon, & Chicken Scarpariello Desserts - Tiramisu & Hazelnut Torta My only draw backs were that the restaurant was a little too dark and 2/3 of the mussels were empty. Will visit again!

    I always adore North Italia--it's such a cute spot with great drinks (and as a wine girl, I appreciate their selection ). The only downside is the happy hour setup. It's only offered in a specific area of the restaurant, not throughout, which is kind of a bummer. We went for a work girls' happy hour and missed out on the pricing because of that. That said, everything else was amazing. We ordered a jug of sangria (so good), and our server gave great recommendations--we ended up with the parmesan chicken, short rib pasta, an Alfredo dish, the bread, and the meatballs. Everything was delicious, no complaints on the food at all. Overall, I'd definitely go back. Just keep the happy hour rules in mind so you don't miss out like we did!

    Good bar space, and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.

    A solid 4.5 stars. It's the consistency of a "chain restaurant" , but the flavor and cooking care of family owned. The decor is very modern and spacious, and the service is fast and very friendly. The pasta and pizza are great, but this time we had salads, and they were full of color, texture, and unique flavors, and worthy of a repeat visit.

    Sicilian Margarita
    Ifoma O.

    Nothing like a warm, comforting meal as soon as there is a chill in the Houston air! I popped in on a Sunday evening and it was fairly empty so quick and quality service all around. Drinks: Alta rossa and Sicilian margarita - really enjoyed the Alta rossa which included raspberry infused tequila and so had a sweet tangy pop to it, compared to the calmer/slightly stronger Sicilian margarita Appetizer: daily soup (kale, sausage, and potato) - came hot and fresh so especially delicious during the colder chill. It was hearty and filling, just needed a tad more salt to really bring it to the next level Entree: bolognese - this is my go to comfort pasta dish. It really hit the spot and had a good ratio of meat sauce to pasta. The pappardelle pasta was the perfect texture; once again, just a pinch of salt needed.

    Lumache alla Norcina
    Alice H.

    Was excited to see a CityCentre location after driving by the Galleria one multiple times. Unfortunately, I have to echo other reviews in that the main dishes were extremely salty and although the appetizers were ok, they weren't exceptional. - Zucca Chips (2/5) - not super crisp, wouldn't order again - White Truffle Garlic Bread (3.5/5) - was looking forward to this as it sounded amazing, but did not live up to the description - Calamari Fritti (4/5) - this was good - Lumache Alla Norcina (4/5) - this was fragrant with the truffle and creamy as expected, but don't expect much protein here. this was not overly salty, but without much protein, i can only stand to eat so much pasta in one sitting - Braised Short Rib Marsala (3/5) - black truffle risotto was like eating a spoonful of truffle flavored salt - very disappointing. the short rib was indeed very tender, but again couldn't really pair it with the risotto Service was good, ample parking in nearby garages.

    We came here to celebrate my daughter's birthday and had a great time. The food was good, especially the pasta, and the atmosphere was nice and family-friendly. Most importantly, my daughter was happy.

    North Italia is one of those places I can always default to when I'm craving Italian. The food is consistently delicious, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff is always friendly and attentive. I love their Chef's Board and their wine selection -- they have great options whether you're in the mood for something bold or light. It's also a solid spot for happy hour. My go-to is the Spicy Vodka pasta, but on this last visit I tried the Bolognese and it did not disappoint. Rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. North Italia stays in my regular rotation for a reason.

    Noth Italia is located in City Centre so there's plenty of space in the garages (free of charge) Came in for happy hour (3-6 PM Monday through Friday) and I am already itching to go back! Note: you need to be sitting at the bar or the tables near the bar to order from the happy hour menu The interior is clean and well decorated with very friendly staff members! Here is the following things my friend and I ordered: Italian Meatballs Flavor-wise, they were great but the dish came out a little room-temperature. The creamy polenta on the bottom was yummy! White Truffle Garlic Bread I honestly still dream about these. Creamy, buttery, and savory, with the perfect texture of both crispy soft/fluffy. This is a must get! Bolognese Since my friend and I were sharing the dish, the waiter kindly split the portions into 2 separate plates. The pasta was cooked well and the sauce was delicious. Red Sangria and Sicilian Margarita I ordered the sangria while my friend for the margarita but they were both refreshing! Overall, we had a very pleasant experience here and I can't wait to come back and explore more of their items on the HH menu.

    Calamari Fritti
    Haliena H.

    always my go to place to get pasta! service and vibes are always great and the food is incredible, so glad this location opened recently which is so much closer than the post oak location!!! i almost always go for the trottole chicken pesto, i actually crave it so so often. an incredible pasta dish. however my first visit to this location they ran out of pesto which was unfortunate however i got to try a few new dishes were just as equally incredible. trottole chicken pesto - 100000/10 an absolute favorite calamari - 10/10 the texture is PERFECT. even the marinara is super delicious braised short rib lumache - 10/10 first trying it from my friend's dish and i genuinely would not be opposed to getting it again it was so so good sunday night lasagna - 8/10 just average and dish was smaller than i expected especially compared to the other dishes i've gotten in the past but still great!

    Kristi H.

    I have been hearing about this place so decided to try it! I went to city centre so the parking is understood. I was greeted when I walked in. Nice ambiance. Our waitress was not good. No personality or cheer. Customer service ruined the experience. I got the lasagna and it was really good. The drink was okay. Not sure if ill be back..but glad I finally made it.

This is a cute spot for date night or just catching up in the Memorial City center area.
