    First off, love the new look they've done with this space as I went before it was changed to this new restaurant. Warming and inviting, it's overall a great place to eat with wonderful company. Food was delicious enough and provides different options on the menu. Service was exceptional.

    Cacio e Pepe
    Samantha L.

    We came on a Sunday afternoon, were seated right away, and had the best service by Emily! She was knowledgeable of the menu items, friendly, and quick to serve with a great attitude. The restaurant was pretty mellow, good music, and tidy. We got the cacio e Pepe and the pig pizzas. The cacio e Pepe was much milder, deliciously cheesy, and creamy. The pig was super flavorful, bold, and mildly spicy. Both were great pizzas with a chewy and thin crust. We also got their meatballs and they were 10/10. Perfectly flavorful, moist, and tender! Served on polenta that was some of the best I've had.

    Tiramisu for dessert!!  Don't look past those crunchy chocolate spheres!

    Wow, wow, wow! The food was absolutely amazing! We started off with the Heirloom Tomato & Burrata. So good! I had the grilled branzino and my wife had the Strozzapreti, mushroom and roasted chicken pasta...To die for! Our server, Moriah, was so helpful and attentive! We had a wonderful experience and we will be back!

    Spicy Rigatoni Vodka
    Denielle B.

    Service: Great Food: Generally good, but they tend to get a bit too salty across the board, so eating everything we ordered became a bit too salty. Also, the short rib pasta had very little short rib, which was unfortunate. What we ordered: - soup of the day: creamy chicken - focaccia - chef's board - short rib pasta - spicy rigatoni vodka - hot chocolate (holiday offering) I think for the price point, we have better options in our area that have more balanced flavors. My husband and I were offered a free tiramisu because they wanted to us to switch tables towards the end because they had 11 folks to seat. We didn't mind, we were already almost done anyway, and they were nice about it.

    My girlfriends and I do monthly dinners and North Italia was our pick for the month. I'm kinda happy I waited a few months before checking it out. I know with new restaurants in town, it's the new shiny toy that everyone wants to check out. We did come on a Saturday night so I was anticipating it being kinda busy. We did come at 4 so we did beat the chaos my an hour. We were sat by the kitchen. I love that the kitchen is open for you to see the behind the scenes. Everyone is a busy bee behind that glass plate. It was fun to see everyone working and doing their part. The kitchen staff have such an important roll to make the flow of the restaurant run smoothly. The heart of the restaurant. The venue itself is beautiful. You would have never known that it was previously Twigs. It's bright, fun and prettily decorated. I adore the Christmas decor through out the venue. It was quite festive and added such a fun holiday vibe to the joint. We got some mocktails started. I appreciate that they have a nice mocktail menu for us non drinkers. After checking out the drink menu, I got myself the Just Peachy. Our drinks were dropped off and my drink looked really tasty. It was nicely garnished with some fresh raspberries. After our server finally got to us, we got some food ordered. We wanted to start off with some foccacia bread. For my meal, I ordered the meatballs and grilled asparagus. The foccacia came out first and boooyyyy did that loaf of foccacia look so good. It was perfectly baked to a golden brown and was glistening under the lightening. You can see that it was generously topped with olive oil and seasonings. You get a liberal side of olive oil and balsamic vinegar to dip it in. The olive oil and balsamic vinegar was the perfect pairing for the bread. The bread was warm, crusty of the outside and soft in the middle. The seasonings on top added a flavorful, savory element to the bread. I could have just had that loaf of foccacia for dinner, it was absolutely delicious. Dinner came shortly after we were done enjoying our starter. My meatballs and asparagus looked beautiful and hearty in it's serving dishes. My meatballs were topped with parmesan and basil. The asparagus was grilled and had beautiful char marks on them. They both looked too pretty to eat. The meatballs were savory and rich. I enjoyed the warm ricotta on the bottom. It added such a nice richness to the meatball and marinara. I appreciate that the marinara was not overly seasoned with oregano. The sauce was bright and fresh. The asparagus wasn't overly cooked so it still had a nice bite to them. I believe it was topped with bread crumbs which added a nice crunchy element. The shredded cheese added a nice subtle saltiness. Great savory additions to the asparagus. The venue is just stunning. The vibe of this place is electric with people all over the venue socializing and enjoying their food. Tonight's visit would have been 5 stars but the service failed for me. Our sever was nice but would be gone for long periods of time. I get she was handling a few tables at a time but to be gone for as long as she was, it's just crazy. Asked if we wanted boxes and again took forever to drop off my box. Nothing more disappointing than just sitting there waiting to be tended to. You can't expect to have your guests sit, wait around for you and then expect a decent tip. I did enjoy my meal and look forward to coming back but hopefully service would be up to par the next time around. It would be nice to be able to enjoy the whole experience.

    Melissa P.

    Normally I'm pretty picky about Italian food -- that's our family heritage, so it's usually hard to justify spending top dollar to eat something we could make better at home. And while the price tags at North Italia were still a bit steep ($20-30 for bowls of pasta, $20 for salad if you want protein on it), the food itself was at least very good. It's a better deal if you spring for one of the dinner plates -- $28 for salmon is in line with what you'd pay most places. Mine was delicious. Service was friendly and prompt. Our server knew the menu and made several helpful recommendations. The ambiance was pretty nice. Although there's this giant painting of a girl on a vespa with red, white, and green overlaid on it, which is fine enough I guess... but it was weird they had three of them in a row, taking up a whole wall of the restaurant. Didn't really fit with the upscale look they were going for with the rest of the decor. There might have been tables + chairs inside, but I didn't see any. They had many, many booths though, if you prefer booths.

    White Truffle Garlic Bread
    Lyndsay S.

    Other than one poorly made aperol spritz- 5 stars. It's a chain, but it definitely not "Olive Garden". Order the truffle garlic bread appetizer. Devour. Wish you had more whenever your pasta shows up. We ordered a "The Pig" pizza (husband gave it a 9 out of 10) and I got the seafood pasta with shrimp & crab. The pasta was a ricotta dumpling and definitely different but not in a bad way. We got a tiramisu to go, and it came in its own little portable bowl- which is actually a nice touch! Definitely will come back and bring friends! It's a modern restaurant with a full view of the kitchen, and comfortable seating. Service was very attentive as well! Great spot for date night.

    The drinks and appetizers were exceptional! And our service was very good as well, the only reason I would say this place didn't get a 5 star was because It felt like the food was very oil heavy. But other than that I would definitely recommend!!

    Bolognese and my wife got her pasta with the vegetable noodles
    Chase H.

    5 Stars From the moment we walked in with our group of 7, North Italia in Meridian made us feel like VIPs. The managers greeted us warmly and brought us to a comfortable spot near the bar so we wouldn't be in the way while we waited for our table. They took our drink orders right away and genuinely made us feel taken care of from the very start. Once seated, our server Kaleb took over and he was fantastic. He greeted us with a smile and gave a great rundown of the night's specials. Kaleb clearly knows the menu inside and out, and he offered great recommendations tailored to each person's preferences. He struck that perfect balance of professional and friendly. Pro tip: Order the bread dip. Just trust me you won't regret it. I had the Bolognese and can honestly say it was one of the best I've had outside of Italy. Having lived in Rome for a while, I was blown away by how authentic it tasted. Generous portion, too I made it through most of the plate but definitely wanted to savor it all. My wife ordered the veggie noodle pasta but realized she made a mistake on her end. As a matter of personal preference, as she really just wanted actual noodles. The managers stepped in immediately, no hesitation, and brought out a fresh dish with gluten-free noodles instead. That level of service and genuine hospitality is rare and made a huge impression. Kaleb was on top of everything all night, especially our drink orders. When it came time for dessert, he didn't miss a beat. We went with several of his suggestions and by the end of it, we were happily stuffed and ready to roll out the door. From the managers to Kaleb to the overall atmosphere, the service was absolutely top-notch. Friendly, attentive, and welcoming. A flawless experience. North Italia Meridian gets a well-deserved 5 stars from me! We'll definitely be back.

    Chicken Parmesan

    The place has a great vibe when you walk in; open atmosphere, kitchen visible, staff smiling, and things are bustling everywhere. Greeted quickly and at within 5 minutes with a reservation. Our server, Bryn (sp) was over quickly and we ordered drinks. She was friendly and a bit comical, really like that. Ordered calamari which was great, more of a heavier breading than normal but overall very good. Make sure to squeeze the roasted lemon over it, yum! Entrees were ordered and came, by far the most disappointing part of the meal. My wife won the night with tortellini, freshly made pasta, great presentation. My oldest and I ordered chicken parm and it was ok at best. Tough chicken cutlet, and the pasta was out of a box, couldn't believe it! My youngest had a burger off the kids menu and it was on an English muffin, also highly seasoned (that's what we get for ordering American at an Italian joint). Dessert took about 20 minutes, we got the donuts with chocolate sauce, everyone seemed to enjoy those. Ambiance and service were awesome, food reminded me this place is a chain and not much different than Olive Garden. We may stop back to try something else, but won't go out of our way to visit.

    This is my second location of North Italia! This location is smaller than the one in my home town but it was still very welcoming! We had a group of 11 and were sat quickly. Foo and service were great!

    Slow learner, or maybe forgiving type that I am, yesterday I gave North Italia its third time at the plate, but now three strikes and they really are OUT. Mai più. In Italian that means never again. In this third experience, I'll assign 1 star and here goes: THE SET UP: For several days last week North Italia was sending ads for free delivery. I decided to take them up on it and give them a third time at bat even though the first two had been strike outs. In the first, a week or two after they opened we attempted to order for curb side pick up (as they advertised was available) knowing they were too busy for us to choose dine in and they were not yet offering delivery. We were thwarted because none of the employees knew the eatery was offering curb side pick up or where it would be picked up given the outside mall location parking lot was distant from the store. I extended rating grace because the eatery was newly opened and this was a training snafu for management to care for. A couple of months later, their second at bat was when we went to dine in, a 3 star rating experience only due to a helpful server and in spite of 2 star food. Now they have been opened several months and II decided to try again, this time to have North Italia food delivered and take them up on the free delivery after confirming that they delivered to my address roughly 5 1/2 miles away. THE EATS CHOICES: I am a pretty, ummm, well-seasoned home cook and I know some food does not transport well by car from a working kitchen (I once worked in this industry) to a home so I did my part as wise consumer to choose dishes that hold up for delivery. As a meal to be shared by two, I chose one braised dish of Marsala short ribs served with polenta, one (no wilt-able greens) seasonal salad made with hard veg like Brussels spouts, cauliflower and squash, and one starter, arancini, which was the only item of our dine in that we would repeat. (Living with an Italian for all these decades, I also know how to reheat them.) THE TIMING: I placed my order (logging into my account on their on-line platform) several hours in advance and specified a late afternoon delivery time, aka "linner" for us. These are typically less busy times for kitchens and delivery drivers and the chance of getting hot, freshly made food is better. THE COST: The bill for those 3 items before tax was $66. With the restaurant's service fee ($6.60 and not disclosed until the billing) and tax ($4.36) and the $12 gratuity I added for the driver the bill was just shy of $90. Just ten'ish bucks under $100. This is why I almost never order food for delivery. Had this not been a "no delivery fee" day, it would have been pushing $100. THE SCREW-UP: The order was immediately confirmed by North Italia as received. Then soon after, a text saying the order had been transmitted to the Meridian store's kitchen to be made to be delivered at the specified time. All good. Then about 1 hr + 15 min before the delivery time, I received by text a notice from North Italia that they had cancelled the order with no explanation but apology "for any inconvenience". ARRRGGGHHH. OK then...plan B, I was going to need to cook at home. THE LATER EXCU...EXPLANATION: When I checked email, as I was pulling up a NYT Cooking recipe to use for dinner, I found the following mail from North Italia. The need for order cancellation turns out to be the good ol' "issue" of communication failure between the online order system to the in-store system with the in store system apparently not working properly. (Gee. A surprise. Not.) See below. Don't you think they could have known that several hours earlier instead of about an hour before delivery? Dear Michele, The ordering system was not able to transmit an order (#XXXXXX) scheduled for today. There was an issue communicating the order to the in-store system. That means: This order has NOT been sent to the store in the usual manner... The store has been notified of the order details through a backup system but the system has not received confirmation that your order was received. Please call the store at 12085677585 to confirm.... Please accept our apologies for this inconvenience. The technical team will be investigating what happened to this order. Order Details Location: Meridian, ID Order ID: #XXXXXX THE QUESTION: Cheesecake Factory owns this North Italia chain. They have lots of experience with systems to support their businesses. Is the problem lack of attention at the Meridian store?

    Spicy vodka - gluten free
    Lauren B.

    I have been to North Italia twice now, once in June when they opened and now today in December. Both times were fine, but I'm very concerned about the knowledge of their employees and their health practices. So, back in June my family went to try them out. I got the spicy vodka pasta (gluten free) and my dad got one of their gluten free pizzas. The pasta was excellent, it had a wonderful taste and the noddles were cooked well. We were informed by a manager that the pasta and their GF pizza dough were made in house. We then tried said pizza, and it was extremely wet in the center. Like, sopping wet. The crust seemed undercooked yet burnt at the same time, and upon picking up a slice it ripped (see image). We told another manager, who promptly told us that neither the GF pizza crust nor the pasta were made in house. Conflicting information from two managers is not something I like to see at a restaurant. If they don't know their own food, then I'm not sure you can expect their employees to know anything either. I haven't been back until today, when my team at work went there for lunch. The service was slow, but they were also a bit busy so it's fine. It looks like their changed their GF pizza crust as well, so I think the soggy pizza problem should be solved! We got a few appetizers, and their charcuterie board was great (I'd get it again if not for something I'll mention later). I got the spicy vodka pasta again, and it was just as good as I remember. Now. The gripe I had with the managers not knowing whether or not they make their gluten free dough and pasta in house would have only caused me to knock off a star. I like the food after all. But I genuinely think there's a health code violation going on in their kitchen. My boss got a salad. As he was eating, he discovered two slices of pear with the barcode sticker still on them. This means that at best, the kitchen simply overlooked a sticker while cutting up fruit, and at worst, they didn't wash their fruit before cutting it and serving it to customers. I know these stickers are food safe, but that doesn't mean you should be ingesting them. Washing fruits and vegetables is also basic food safety, so I'm very concerned in either scenario. Also, for the price you pay, you really shouldn't be getting tags on your food. I'm hoping this is a one-off, but I don't think I'll be coming back any time soon.

    No, they won't take Cheese Factory's cards and Cheesecake Factory will not take theirs. Owned by same parent company but run as separate business enterprises.

I had requested this table so everything was smooth from calling in to getting in. My daughter and I arrived a little early to set up the table. We had flowers, party favors and decor we needed to set up. Our server helped us put the birthday cake in the fridge so it would stay cool. We got everything set up and just chilled till everyone showed up. I did forget the birthday candles I bought so I drove home to grab them. I missed the whole ordering process. I had my daughter order the pineapple hanger steak with no potatoes subbed for veggies for me. I left before they ordered and was only gone for about 25 minutes. My food had already been sitting for 10 minutes waiting for me before I got back. I was honestly surprised at how fast everything was prepared. I did enjoy my meal. It was really good. The hanger steak was tender and very savory. The shishito peppers were cooked and grilled perfectly. I got a total of 6 and only 1 of them was spicy, I'm ok with that! The asparagus was grilled to perfection. Not overly cooked but tender with a slight bite. The best way to have asparagus. I think this would have been a 5 star experience but this is where I'm so unhappy. I brought a cake in. I also brought in candles, a vintage cake plate and plates for us to eat the cake on. It was all planned out. Our server did not communicate with me at all about the cake once she pulled it out for me. One minute it was sitting in it's box on the servers table and the next minute there's a huge, tacky firework in it. Like, I had a pretty cake made with delicate candles to put in it to have this goofy firework in the middle of it. I didn't take one photo of the cake before she violated it with the stupid firework. If you plan on bringing in a cake that you don't want touch, tell your server. Food was great. The vibe was chill. But I will always have this stupid firework in the middle of my cake as a core memory of this joint.

Walking from the waiting area to the seating down that tunnel is pitch black. Both me and the wife were bumping into the walls. Maybe a little more light? Had to turn on cell phone light. Once you get into the restaurant it's better and your eyes start to adjust. The music was great and perfect for the scene, but too loud and needed to be turned down. When you're with family and friends and want to chat and keep saying "what?" the entire time, too loud. We aren't there to listen to music. The drinks were incredible. The Brown Butter Old Fashioned....crazy good. One of best Old Fashioned I've had and that's my go to. Apps. were really good. Expand your menu just a little. Street tacos! If you can do tostadas then you can do street tacos, not that big of an adjustment. The apps are a little pricey, but good. Biggest complaint and it made me torn between 4 or 5 stars was something so small but annoying just the same. The wife and I ended up paying almost $150 bucks between drinks and food. Charging us $3.50 to use a credit card? Thats just crap! Your food and drinks are expensive, don't nickel and dime people. High end places don't do it...

The ceviche was hands down the best I've ever had: fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. What truly set this place apart, though, was the people. The staff and ownership were absolutely outstanding, welcoming, attentive, and genuinely passionate about creating a memorable experience.

    Hallelujah... finally, a place with live music in the Boise area!…read more We literally stumbled across this place after striking out at a couple of breweries that seemed like absolute no-brainers to have live music on a weekend. Apparently that's harder to find in the Treasure Valley than good beer. Then we found this gem. The Last Call was playing, and they were fantastic. In fact, if I ever get frustrated enough to open my own brewery just to show the Treasure Valley what it's been missing, they're getting the first call. They'd be the anchor band. Great atmosphere, great beer, and--best of all--live music. We'll definitely be back.

They took the best…read morething off the menu, which was their happy hour barbecue fries and now I don't even wanna ever order food. I have tried the flatbread the fries, the salads clearly I tried the Parmesan chicken sandwich and it was disgusting. I mean look at the photo. I'm not liked anything on their menu except for the barbecue fries which they don't have anymore. The Parmesan garlic fries are too strong. The flavor is overpowering. The Caesar salad has way too much dressing and the lettuce is not crispy enough. The service is kind of hit or miss but it's a very busy place but sometimes you have to wait 20+ minutes for your check. It's a great time when they host dancing or Trivia, but I would not come here on a regular night nor would I ever order their food. Their drinks are good but kind of depends on the bartender because sometimes they're not made correctly according to the ingredients listed on the drink menu. However, the line dancing is phenomenal, and I do really love their outdoor seating, especially the fire pits in the winter

The BBQ wings were absolutely delicious! The Korean wings had great flavor too, but they were a little too spicy for me. We also ordered the truffle fries, and those were SO good! Definitely something I would order again. For my entrée, I had the steak bowl with stir-fried sesame brown rice & red quinoa, mushrooms, snap peas, bok choy, carrots, red onion, baby broccoli, and red pepper flakes. Everything came together perfectly, and the steak made the bowl filling without feeling too heavy. My best friend ordered the cilantro lime chicken, and of course I had to taste a bite . The chicken was so tender and delicious--I completely understood why she enjoyed it! We each had a strawberry margarita, and they were flavorful, refreshing, and the perfect drink to go along with our meal. The atmosphere was lively and fun, making it a great place to grab drinks, enjoy good food, and catch up with your best friend. We had such a nice night out and left very satisfied. I'd definitely come back!
