Been there a few times. Always great. I read a good review about the Scallops before we went this time. They were so delicious best I ever had. My husband ordered the Salmon and loved it. The portions are generous. We have tried all the different breads over time. All were good .Especially liked the focaccia bread. Can't go wrong on any of the deserts. Great waitress and knowledgeable on the menu. Sheila read more

Big shoutout to Devon D, he was super kind, very helpful in terms of the menu and ordering and his customer service is top tier. We had to wait a little while but he reassured us that the food was on its way and even got the manager to let us know too. There was a little mix up with ordering, I ordered the Italian Sausage Pizza but I got Just the Italian Sausages (which were super good no complaints) but Devon apologized and even comped both the pizza and meatballs. Due to the wait we were even comped for the desserts. in terms of the food, it was nothing short of amazing cannot recommend more. Top 10 Restaurant I've tried in AZ. read more

We visited during Arizona Restaurant Week to try their special menu. For the small plates, I ordered the heirloom tomato & burrata and absolutely loved it. It came with grilled ciabatta, arugula, shaved red onion, and a Calabrian vinaigrette. The burrata was incredibly creamy and paired perfectly with the tomatoes, while the crunchy ciabatta added a wonderful contrast in texture. My husband chose the Sicilian meatballs, which were served over creamy polenta with rustic marinara and grana padano, also a very solid dish. For our entrees, we had the hot honey & smoked prosciutto pizza and the strozzapreti, a pasta dish with herb-roasted chicken, mushroom, spinach, parmesan cream, truffle, and pine nuts). Both were fantastic! The pizza nailed that sweet and savory flavor profile, and the crust was absolutely perfect. The strozzapreti was also delicious -- rich, creamy, and packed with mushroom and truffle flavor. Last time we visited the North Italia Phoenix location, the pasta was a bit too soft and lacked that proper al dente bite, but this time it was cooked flawlessly. Unfortunately, the desserts were a letdown. We tried the hazelnut torta and the tiramisu, but both were overwhelmingly sweet. The tiramisu tasted soggy, like it had been sitting in the fridge for a long time instead of being freshly made, and the chocolate balls on top felt unnecessary and cheapened the dish. The service was also a bit of a mixed bag. Somehow our desserts were brought out before we had even finished our entrees. As a result, the ice cream on top of the hazelnut torta just sat there melting by the time we were ready for it. It made the end of the meal feel rushed, like they were trying to turn the table over quickly. read more

We decided to give this restaurant another shot, and unfortunately it was still a big no for me. The $12 focaccia came out burnt and dry, so I had to send it back. I ordered the grilled branzino, but it was actually red snapper, which normally wouldn't have been a huge issue, except the vegetables on the side were ice cold, limp, and honestly looked like they came from a frozen packet. It was also a tiny portion -- basically one small piece of cauliflower and one piece of broccoli. The fish itself was tough, overcooked, and honestly just not good. I ended up swapping it for a pasta dish, which was definitely better, but overall the experience was still really disappointing. read more

Love love love this place. So much seating, it's cute and cozy. I've sat both inside and outside and I didn't mind either. Servers were friendly and attentive, and I've never had issues. Food is delicious, I always get the garlic truffle bread, calamari, and more. We typically get all appetizers and a salad and share an entree with whoever I'm eating with at the time. Good place for get togethers with friends, date nights, but it's also family friendly. It's pretty pricey but worth it. read more

We were here for only dessert in the middle of an afternoon. Staff were very nice and attentive. They have really comfortable and relaxing patio too so it was difficult to leave. We tried their tiramisu, affogato, and latte. Everything was so delicious and satisfying. Can't think of better way to enjoy an afternoon with friends. Will return soon to try their food next time. Although I already know it's good because I frequent their Scottsdale location. Highly recommend!! read more

Me and husband decided to go on a early date during the day. We walked in were greeted, very nice gal at the front. We waited maybe 15 minutes wasn't too bad. The Ambiance was cool, earthy, modern vibes. I love the natural plants there. The service was pretty quick. The meals were very tasty. I think my sauce was delicious just a little salty but overall good. Love the foccia bread too. My husband loved his dish too. Didn't get too many pics, just enjoying my meals. read more

Came to enjoy dinner with my love and my son tonight. Nate was our server and he was upbeat, cordial, and super attentive. My water was filled the whole night without me needing to say anything, which was fabulous because I felt like I was parched! He provided us great service with a smile and he definitely made our night memorable. We enjoyed some zuc chips and meatballs for appetizers, both were soooo good! The chips came with a pesto sauce that really made the flavors of the chips more pronounced, and the meatballs tasted so hearty... the sauce they came in was delightful and so was the cheesy goodness they had mixed in and in top. Excellent starters. We then ordered the honey hot smoked prosciutto pizza, as per recommendation by Nate. Since my partner and son don't like arugula, we only put it on half and they opted to add basil instead to their side, which was a tasty substitution. Glad the kitchen was able to do that. For dessert we enjoyed a brookie sundae - came out in a tall martini looking glass with fixings to add to your liking, strawberries, bananas, walnuts, chocolate drizzle and chocolate pearls. We added all and it was fantastic! It was actually pretty busy when we arrived, there was a 20 min wait; which we didn't expect but it went by quickly. The music was chill and we sat outside on the patio. The weather is so nice right now, it was perfect. North has not disappointed, and this time was no exception. We'll be back again; and thank you again to sir Nate for a wonderful evening! read more

This was my first time at this North Italia, and it definitely feels a little different compared to the locations in Phoenix and Scottsdale. The menu has some overlap with familiar items, but there are also noticeable differences. The building is new clean and pretty but the vibe and design don't quite match the cozy feel of the other locations. For food, I ordered the Hot Italian Stromboli and the Prosciutto Pizza (a favorite of ours from the other restaurants). Both were really good, and our drinks were solid as well. I tried the Gin Pomegranate Mule, which tasted nice, but I was a bit disappointed that it came in a regular glass instead of a copper mug it didn't feel much like a "mule" that way. Overall, the customer service was good, and while this location has a different style and menu, it's still worth a visit. read more

Over rated... food was good, but not great. We ordered quite a spread as we were excited to come in and try the food. We ordered a side of Glazed Chioggia Beets to share and I got a Gluten Free Hot Honey Pizza; I left off the arugula since it always upsets my stomach and subbed Basil and added the Bomba sauce and a Ricotta Cavatell pasta dish; a white garlic sauce with shrimp and a slight lemon flavor. My daughter ordered Meatball sliders and a bolognese pasta. Our server was also apparently the bartender, so while others got drinks; we couldn't get a refill on a $4.75 Coke. The food was dropped by someone else and the server never came back to check the order. Had she checked- 1-They failed to add Basil into my pizza 2-Forgot the Bomba sauce for my pizza 3-Added arugula into my beets...after I literally said I can't tolerate arugula 4- while we asked the gal that dropped the food for cheese, she brought a little cup for 4 meals...not really enough After trying to eat and not having anymore Coke to drink I decided I'd just take it all home. (We were also fighting a fly off our food the entire time.) When the server came by we told her the missing sauce/arugula/ fly and asked for boxes and a coke to go. She brought the boxes and the check; we sat there for an awkward amount of time with cash waiting... I finally noticed on the bill to scan to pay. I felt she received a decent $22 tip for taking the order and finally getting us a refill and handing us boxes and the bill! Tipping on the total food order is appropriate; not the food AND tax amount added together. I had to pay from the receipt scan bar since she never came back to pick up the cash, I also had to use my phone number to log in and "Agree to the terms" I FINALLY got my Bomba sauce; it was ice cold, I was told that's how it's served. The best part??? The (manager? I'm guessing) was interviewing a cook for an open position and they were sitting right behind us! They literally past our table to go in to see the kitchen. read more

First of all, I would like to say this has been one of our favorite restaurants for a long time. We absolutely love the food.. however today we ordered two pasta dishes and some bread off of the lunch menu for takeout and it came to $70. And the servings were tiny I mean super tiny. If they are going to offer the pasta dishes with meat on the lunch menu, they should have lunch prices and they should definitely be a little larger.. just a suggestion. read more

Amazing service, bright modern environment (surrounded by glass windows to see the kitchen or common grounds), and phenomenal food. We started with The Pig pizza with bomba topping - bomba is unique and a must have. Our entrees were the Bolognese and the Sunday Night Lasagna. Both had a great marinara sauce, light noodles and the short ribs melted like butter. For dessert, our server suggested, the Salted Carmel Budino - light but decadent. While enjoying our experience, two birthdays were celebrated. Highly recommend! read more

Our second time here and another fabulous experience. I usually try to avoid restaurants on Valentine's Day and Mother's Day because they are very busy days. Hubs made a reservation here in advance for an inside table and we were seated right at our reserved time of 12:15 pm at a really nice, roomy booth. Customers showing up without a reservation when we arrived were seated on the patio. I was thankful we had reserved ahead because it is 100° F today. Service by Caleb G. was excellent. We enjoyed the Mother's Day menu and the brunch menu. We ordered: - Hot Oat Latte x3 - Unsweetened Iced Black Tea - MOTHER'S DAY MENU - For the Table - HONEY GLAZED BERRY BRUSCHETTA - whipped ricotta, crushed marcona almond, torn mint, maldon salt (suggested wine pairing: vermentino, pala "soprasole", Sardinia). Delicious! - ITALIAN MEATBALLS for the table - creamy polenta, rustic marinara, grana padano. Got these again because we enjoyed them last time. Just as good as before. - ZUCCA CHIPS for the table - pesto aioli. Another repeat order that we enjoyed last visit. They were finished! - BOLOGNESE (house specialty) traditional meat sauce, pappardelle, grana padano, wild oregano, evoo. Hubs said this was good! He asked for a cup of chili flakes on the side and said that it tasted better with the chili. - GRILLED BREAD & GOOD OLIVE OIL grana padano & herbs - Hubs got this with his Bolognese and ate all of it. I sampled the good olive oil. It was fine. - TROTTOLE CHICKEN PESTO - sweet basil, shaved garlic, toasted pine nut, crispy caper. My daughter ordered this. She loves a good pesto pasta. She said this was really good. It was a nice sized serving and she took half home for dinner later. - STROZZAPRETI - herb roasted chicken, roasted mushroom, spinach, parmesan cream, toasted pine nut. My other daughter tried this and said it was really good. She also took her other half home for dinner tonight. - ROASTED SALMON - caramelized romanesco, broccolini, fregola, basil pesto, lemon gremolata, affinato. I ordered this because I love a good fish dish. I asked our server if it was wild or farmed salmon and he knew immediately - wild caught. He added that this was his favorite dish out of everything on the menu. This made me happy knowing it would be good. He was correct. It was very delicious and satisfying! Perfectly cooked. read more

10/10 would recommend! We went in for a little date night and truly enjoyed our whole meal! We started with the Cacio e Pepe arancini, which were fried perfectly and had a wonderful balance of flavor. The cheese to pepper ratio was spot in and we appreciated the strong pepper taste. The rice was cooked perfectly as well. We also enjoyed the pesto aioli it came with. For dinner I got the lasagna Bianca and my hubs got the bolognese. The braised beef was extremely tender and the béchamel was so creamy. I'm happy I will have a yummy lunch tomorrow from my left overs lol. My hubs enjoyed his dish as well, and said the pappardelle was cooked al dente as it should! His only feedback was the vessel: a shallow bowl or deep plate would be better for enjoying the bolognese as it would make it easier to scoop up the remaining sauce into the fork, whereas the bowl didn't have a lip or edge to allow for that. (This did not impact the meal of course) For dinner we enjoyed the tiramisu. I personally am not really a fan of tiramisu because of texture but north just makes a quality one. The balance of mouse, to soaked (not soggy) lady fingers, and crunch from the chocolate pearls truly makes for a satisfying bite texturally and flavor wise. Overall it was a wonderful experience from the nice smiles we were greeted with at the door to our server. He was very kind and helped us make a decision on meals. We cannot wait to come back especially because it's a bonus having one closer to us! read more

I used to live in Peoria and non of this cool stuff was there so imagine my surprise when we pull up to enjoy a baseball game and North Italia is there to greet us. Please and thank you City of Peoria We all ordered some style of lemonade and while I believe the perfect blend of hibiscus was delicious mine was made with ginger and stole the show. The patio is ginormous so imagine Az when the weather is a perfect 75 with a soft breeze so you throw on your light cardigan while sipping a ginger lemonade... I mean you get it right Sheer perfection For an entree we ordered the garlic shrimp that was packed with flavor. Not to mention the perfectly toasted bread that we dipped in garlic butter For me my favorite entree was the salmon. Salmon over a bed of pesto and what I think was a pearl pasta I also got the cheesy pasta dish with Parmesan and bread crumbs Honestly there wasn't a single dish that we didn't devour with joy Next time I'll try to save some room for dessert but I can't make any promises read more

This was my first time dining at North Italia, and I was excited to try it out. A new location recently opened in Peria, so we decided to check it out. From the moment we arrived, the first impressions were fantastic--there was plenty of parking and a spacious, grassy area right in front of the restaurant, giving it a welcoming vibe. We only waited about five minutes before our table was ready, which was a nice start to the experience. Since we were having a late lunch, we opted to share a few appetizers. We ordered the Chef's Board, White Truffle Garlic Bread, Calamari Fritti, and Italian Meatballs. Everything was delicious, but the White Truffle Garlic Bread stood out as a favorite--it was amazing! Just as we thought we were done, my husband decided to order a few more dishes. We added the Tuscan Kale with Shrimp, Funghi Pizza, and Squid Ink Tonnarelli. Let's just say we ended up with *way* more food than we could handle! By the end, we were stuffed and had plenty of leftovers to take home. Overall, the food was pretty good. The Tuscan Kale with Shrimp was a bit too sour for my taste, as it had a heavy dressing--I should've asked for the dressing on the side. The Squid Ink Tonnarelli was slightly undercooked for our liking, making the pasta a bit too chewy. That said, the flavors were still enjoyable. Our server was fantastic--attentive, friendly, and proactive. She brought us fresh silverware and plates without us even asking, which was a nice touch. The restaurant itself was stunning, with high ceilings, large windows, and a classy, modern ambiance that made the dining experience feel special. It was a great first experience. I'd definitely go back, but maybe I'll skip the over-ordering next time! read more

Pricey hit or miss food, friendly but slow service, chefs that care. The Calamari looked like onion rings (beer battered) and tasted only as good as the best onion rings I've had in my life but were way more expensive and you don't get a ton. The Lumache Alla Norcina, it was on their board as a special, the pasta and sausage are excellent. They offered a Short Rib upgrade for 7 bucks, turn it down, it's no where near as good as the dish on it's own. I did have a friendly convo about what was in the short rib, shredded on top of the pasta, cuz i didn't like it and wanted to know what was in it. After some convo, the chef decided to make another kind of short rib, a sweet one. It was amazing. Sadly not on the menu. Hopefully they will add it, if you see a sweet short rib in the future, get it! read more

I am leaving a negative review based on food quality I ordered the app meatballs as entree and so did another guest at my table. When I cut the meatball in 1/2 it appeared to be severely undercooked. I had my server bring it back to the kitchen. The server came back with my meatballs advising me the chef said they were cooked to the correct temperature I didn't eat them. I was definitely too nervous to eat what was very pink meat. What was even more frustrating was that I reached out to the restaurant to share my concerns and give them an opportunity to address the issue, but I never received a response. Good customer service includes acknowledging customer feedback, and unfortunately that did not happen here. I got an auto reply that they would contact me ASAP. That was 9 days ago. I felt like at the very least, the untouched food should have been removed from the bill. I am disappointed that North has not even taken the time to contact me, despite my email advising I was very open to a conversation. read more

This place was great. The restaurant inside and the patio are spacious and beautiful. The service was great, friendly and attentive staff. And the food is absolutely delicious.

I love their food here, but unfortunately they changed my favorite salad which was the Italian farm salad. Now they call it the cobb salad and it's just not nearly as good as the Italian farm was. Really sad when a restaurant changes something that is so fantastic, I'm not sure where they get their ideas from but from what I heard the Italian farm was very popular. My feeling is, if it's not broke, don't fix it. read more

Are you kidding me! We so needed a North Italia on this side of town. I love the decor inside, very open modern atmosphere. We did not have reservations. We were seated within 10 min. We went around noon on a Sunday. I really liked everything we ordered. The only thing I didn't like was the pistachio butter cake. It was dry and tasted nothing like a butter cake. The gelato was amazing though. Definitely getting that again. Okay so the food: we ordered a pizza, chicken tenders...I can tell they were made fresh and not frozen. Never expect much from chicken tenders but those were delicious. We also ordered the steak and eggs. My husband did like it only thing was he would have preferred the sauce on the side and not on the steak. I ordered the bolognese pasta. The prices were really reasonable too...Fabio on fire would have been a lot more. So we will definitely be coming back! read more

First time here and pretty underwhelmed. Food Ordered: Scampi appetizer had 5 tiny shrimp compensated by a pile of bread. Not worth $19, and it came out scorching hot it burned our taste buds. Lasagna was tasty but way too small. The Tottole Chicken Gnocchi Pesto had good noodles, but the sauce was runny and the capers made it too acidic. Drinks: Tried the Watermelon Sugar cocktail which was decent, too strong and not balanced. Desserts: We highly enjoyed the tiramisu which was our initial reason for coming. Light, rich, and decadent. Will return only for this. Other: Restrooms were at least clean and stocked. Server was attentive. Overall, overpriced and disappointing. read more

Absolutely delish! I ordered a simple pizza and being a NY girl I have to say, it was really good. My Daughter had spaghetti bolognese and she said it was really good.

The Good. I decided to visit North Italia Peoria with a friend for lunch after hearing good reviews of the restaurant. Upon arriving, I was impressed with the decor and ambiance. There is a lovely outdoor patio with lots of plants. Inside, the seating areas are spacious, with pleasing details such as fresh flowers at each table and attractive place settings. The kitchen runs along one wall and is visible to the patrons, with their extensive bar on the opposite side. The food is simply amazing. I had the "small plate meatballs" ($17), which is listed as an appetizer but is large enough for a full meal with three mouthwatering meatballs over a bed of perfectly cooked polenta, and covered with a rustic style marinara. If it wasn't obvious already, I was delighted with it. My lunch mate had the Hot Italian Stromboli ($16). Tip: it's Spicy with a capital S! It was also delicious. But what stole the show was our order of white truffle garlic bread. It comes in bite sized pieces of toasted and buttered sourdough bread and is topped with ricotta cheese and Parmesan. It is heaven in your mouth. It's expensive for an appetizer ($16.50) but is so worth it. For dessert, we had the Seasonal Butter Cake ($13). It is topped with caramel sauce and toasted coconut. The cake was too dense for my liking, but my lunch mate found it delicious. The Bad. Sadly, our waiter was doing double duty as the bartender, so we did not receive much attention at all from him. He took our orders and then we did not see him again for an hour. Yes, an hour. Then we didn't see him again until quite some time after we'd finished eating, and we asked for our bill. Part of our orders were delivered in a fairly timely fashion, but after an hour we still had not received the Stromboli. I snagged a manager who explained that the kitchen was busy filling orders from a party of 16. We finally received the Stromboli after an additional 15 or 20 minutes, but I wondered why they hadn't assigned at least one other cook to prepare food for the other patrons. Be forewarned that the restaurant is a bit pricey, possibly because of its proximity to the sports stadium. For instance, a non-alcoholic sort of lemonade called a mocktail is about $12, entrees range from $26 to $36, and appetizer plates are about +- $15 each. Cocktails average about $15. The Ugly. There really isn't any ugly to report! In spite of the delays we had a lovely meal. We used the "down time" to catch up on each other's lives, and I will be going back again to sample more from their menu. Hopefully next time we will have a full time waiter, and I'll check first to see if we're behind a huge group! read more
