Went with a friend early on a Sat. (6pm) for dinner. I'm glad we went a little early because the place filled up fast. Wait staff/service: Welcomed by a staff member actually opening the door for me (nice touch). Promptly seated. Our waitress was very knowledgeable of the wine list and menu. The waitress was also perfect in her timing...checked in enough to make sure we were happy, but not too much as to make you feel rushed. Food/Drinks: My friend had the house Pinot Grigio and I had a Negroni Nuovo (these things could be dangerous...a great drink for a summer day). We split Antipasti (bread & cheese...this was yummy, although the name could be improved) and Insalate (Italian...also a boring menu name, but was tasty as well). We both had pasta for our main course...Tagliatelle and Ricotta Gnocchi. Both of us thought the pasta was delicious...perfectly cooked and very flavorful. Dessert: We split the Salted Carmel Budino. It was so good, I almost ordered one to go. Rich as Budino should be, but light enough so as not to put you in an after dinner coma. Price: If you want to try the traditional multi-course Italian meal, the prices can add up. Our meal for 2 came to ~$110 (including 1 drink each and the tip). For a casual dining atmosphere, some may consider this too pricey. Other comments: I read other comments about a problem with flies. This must have been overcome, because we didn't notice any. This is a restaurant I will visit again to sample some of the other menu items. read more

It was teachers appreciation week and I went to NoRTH with 5 other people ( we are all teachers) for happy hour. The appetizers were wonderful- pizza of the day (arugula) as well as meatballs. We also ordered fried rice balls which were AMAZING! For entrees ordered a few more pizzas which were all very delicious! When I casually mentioned to our waiter Sean that it was teacher appreciation week, he said dessert was on him, and we choose three wonderful desserts. After that the manager (forgot his name) came over to thank us(as teachers) for what we do ,we def. needed that after a hard week at work! A big thank to Sean and the staff at NorTH for a wonderful evening! We never have a bad meal at a Fox Restaurant and this was no exception. read more

Had a promo to come back b/c haven't been for awhile & wouldn't let me use but sister concepts have. Won't be back. Bartender rude & general mngr never bothered to return call. Food only so so & virtually No pkg! No great loss... read more

We had a very enjoyable time here tonight. The food was well done, and we were treated well by all staff, from the valet to the hostess to the waitress. The complimentary valet was a great way to allow guests to avoid working through chaos in the small parking lot. We made a reservation, and the hostess came outside to get us a couple minutes prior to our reservation time. Our waitress was cheerful, helpful, and attentive. The food, well, was well prepared and thoughtfully presented. Our party of 4 tried two appetizers: the mussels, which were excellent, and the grilled cauliflower, also wonderful. We also tried the seasonal vegetable salad, and it was very tasty. For our entrees, we tried rosemary chicken, the salmon, the sea bass, and the mushroom pasta. All very solid. Thank you guys. We will return! read more

Great consistency happens with Fox Restaurants! As a longtime fan of North I am glad to have a closer location for my wife and me to visit. They have a great selection of wines here and I can comfortably recommend anything on their menu. The bruschetta is always my starter. This location looks very different from their fancier look but the italian country decor is not bad. They changed the menu from my last visit but the selections are still very good. I ordered the chicken sandwich with apricot jelly and loved it. read more

All day Sunday Happy hour! Whoo hooo So this is a little spot tucked away off Camelback. I originally went on a date here and the guy was kinda lame, but I loved the place. Win some/lose some. I don't know why I want to call the place cozy, as it's pretty spacious within, but somehow it feels cozy. I love the fact that the kitchen is open. There is a quaint bar up near the front and a patio as well. They offer fantastic happy hours with $5 wines, beers and such and they also offer a variety of small plates as well . I'm a fan of the chef's board. This consists of several cheeses, salami's, proscuitto, a jam, various breads, olives. For $10? What a steal. The chips are fresh and homemade as well and they are sinfully delicious. I"ve only gone for happy hours and it can be full. Not overpowering full like Postino's , but not empty at all. Parking can be probelmatic but they do offer free valet. read more

Sam Fox, you always seem to have a beeline directly to my wannabe foodie heart. I came to the New North as I call it just four days after it opened. Usually you think brand new restaurant they are probably still ironing out the kinks right? You must not know Sam Fox like I know him. This man has a knack for turning mediocrity into excellence. I mean the space used to be a car wash! A CAR WASH! Only Fox vision could turn a car wash into an amazing addition to the Phoenix restaurant scene. The restaurant is officially called North Fattoria Italiana, which I will tell you was confusing at first. When your friend calls you and says "Want to go to North, it's the new Sam Fox restaurant?" "You mean the one at Kierland? That's not new." "No not that one a new one." HUH?? I decided to stop asking questions and just go. Our waitress informed us that Mr. Fox is probably going to take all of his North locations in this more casual direction. I started my experience with the Julietta cocktail. Super awesome and girly, I love any cocktail with bubbles. Plus the cocktail looks like an accessory to your already cute outfit. The menu is a neighborhood Italian vibe. Pizza, pasta, antipasti. Of course, there is the Sam Fox flair. I shared the margherita pizza, which was very good and the ricotta gnocchi. Both were stellar. The gnocchi is not a traditional potato gnocchi, but it was very good. Of course I finished off my meal with dessert. Since, nutella to me is as good as gold I ordered the "affogato", and it was a great end to an overall great meal and experience. A plus was that our waitress was very knowledgeable and attentive. Always nice to have good service when you are spending your hard earned cash. I can't wait to go back and give New North another spin. Touche Sam Fox, touche. read more

As always this place was on point... you can never go wrong with a fox resteraunt. We ordered family style... pancett bruchetta with the asparagus n cresenza cheese is bomb for an appy... also love the grilled cauliflower... we get zucca chips usually (must have if you haven't tried) but we skipped this time... we also had chicken parm, roast chicken (super moist and perfectly seasoned), pepperoni pizza, and I think brisket or short ribs (it was meat) ... for desert we had salted caramel gggrrr had to bite a hand to get some, chocolate torte which had just a hint of maybe orange??? Amazing@@@ then finally olive oil cake with vanilla gelato orange and strawberry... kill me now that was to die for meal... as always Fox it was a pleasure from the valet to the hostess with the mostest to the waitress back to valet... keep up the excellence read more

Went there for lunch. The grilled chicken sanwich was great, the grilled vegtebles sandwich was not. Tasty but very oily... The place looks great and the service was fantastic. Sam Fox knows how to create them :) read more

Decent. No wow factor. My girlfriend received a $50 gift card for Christmas, so I checked the menu online and we went on a Thursday. Decently busy, but not packed. I rarely carry cash and was disappointed that we were FORCED to use valet. We were greeted and seated warmly and quickly. No issues there. I did notice that the menu prices were around 20% higher than what was listed on their website, which was disappointing. But, eh. The server was very good. She stated specials, and fielded pertinent questions. She was friendly, knowledgeable and prompt. No issues there. What we chose for an appetizer was an entree special. While it was delicious, I couldn't imagine it as a stand alone entree. Two seared sea scallops over white beans and sauteed greens. But for $14 it was good. The entrees were very tasty. My girlfriend had tortolloni and I had strozzapreti on the servers recommendation. The dishes were very flavorful and portions were decent size. So again, no issues with the pasta, except after about 4 or 5 bites, there was a hair. Yay. I don't get overly wigged out about such things, but that was a major, major ding on the experience. I just hope the person washed their hair prior to work. LOL For the most part it was decent. The food quality (other than the hair) is quite good. The atmosphere is very bistro, and slightly stuffy, though it's supposed to be more casual, IMO. The prices are out of line, but that's the case with all of Sam's concepts. And it's reminiscent of the Yard in terms of layout. Overplayed. I admire Sam for his success, but I've been to almost all of his places and I'm just not that impressed. Others clearly are, but I'm not. Having been in the industry for 30 years myself, I've worked for a number of successful concepts, and mostly I think his stuff is overrated, and overpriced. read more

Went for happy hour Sunday, ordered a Sangria. It was so bitter I couldn't drink it. The waiter didn't charge me for it when I said I just couldn't stand it. Thanks for that.. Ordered a plain vodka martini instead. "Well" nothing fancy, $10.00 !! During happy hour? Ordered a Cezar Salad, very very ho hum.. Won't do that again. Finished with a $6.00 dessert. It was like something I could have picked up at the 2nd day bakery at Safeway. $32.00 by the time I finished. Outrageous for a so so experience. You can keep that Fox disaster. Won't be back. read more

The Zuca chips are amazing. Service was so slow for mostly salads on a work day. Paul (I believe that was his name) was very helpful though in coming over and chatting with us about the issues. Overall, the food is great. The Italian farm salad was fantastic. The server had a funky thumbnail though that looked really dirty... Not something you want to see if someone serving your food to you. read more

Hats off to you, North Italia! Had a great time for lunch. Thursday, August 4, 2016, everything was a fantastic lunch experience. That includes... the valet, the host, our server and the chefs! Food was delicious, from calamari to tiramisu. See ya soon. read more

We had a fabulous dinner, one of my favorite places and it was made even better by the excellent service by Jared!! He was the very best, helped us with the menu and with some of my husbands dietary restrictions. We will be back soon!! read more

I'm so lucky to live so close and walk here all the time... it never disappoints! I'm extremely picky about my Italian food and they do it pretty well. Nothing is overly heavy or too much. Their pizzas are wonderful, and my favorite entree is the salmon with the white bean ragu. It's just filling enough and gives you the feeling of pasta without the heaviness if you're not hungry enough for one of the pasta dishes! Their cocktails are fabulous too. The ambience is warm and cozy and it's perfect for a date! The only downside is the parking, but a tip is to drive down to Elm Street and park in the neighborhood. It's a close walk! read more

Great service, decor, and FOOD, I've only eaten here once, but highly recommend the bolognese pasta, strozzapreti, chicken parm & zucca chips! The pastas are fresh and the flavors & portions are great! read more

This place is one of my favorites, particularly for brunch. My favorite thing to get is the bacon and egg pizza with a ginger vanilla greyhound to drink. If you're looking for something small to munch on, the zucca chips are good. The lemon donuts are also a delicious treat! I haven't tried the pasta, but I have seen them make it fresh. One of my favorite things about this place is the atmosphere. The decorations inside almost give it a modern, trendy barn feeling. It can get pretty loud inside when they're busy though. They take reservations, which is nice, especially if you have a larger party dining there. They also have a bike rack out front for those nearby who would like to bike there. It is right off the canal. They have complimentary valet parking as space is limited. There is really nowhere that you can self-park. There is a large lot across the street for a strip of stores but signs state you can't park there if you are attending North. So just be aware of that. There are a couple spots for 15 minute parking for those who are picking up orders. read more

I love the salmon dish. The boards! I AI appreciate that it's delish as is, but as I'm dieting I can adjust what I'm need to. My only complaint is no draft beer. read more

All previous visits are five stars, however Friday night 10/15, we did not have the best experience, which was very disappointing since we go there often. First, we ordered the chef board which was horrible. We've had many other chef boards in neighboring restaurants, however this one was not good at all, the meat on it was so chewy, I had to spit it out....could not even swallow it! Then, I ordered the burrata di staggione, which is supposed to have sliced apple in it, which was missing, and I had ordered grilled chicken to go in it and instead of putting the grilled chicken on my dish - they included it in my husband's bolognese! Of course they corrected it once brought to their attention, however I then had to wait for my chicken before I could eat my meal. Also we got no offer of compensation for the mishap with the order which was disappointing, a complementary dessert or after dinner drink would have been a nice touch for the inconvenience. Also, we sat at the bar, and I have to say the bartenders there are not the friendliest around, which is disappointing because the wait staff, especially Candace - are absolutely amazing! Next time we will skip the bar and request a table in Candace's section. read more

Food is awesome best calamari I had , pizza was amazing! They were quick with assisting us, will consider to come back again!

Our server Tracy was the GREATEST! She treated us to free Zucca chips when she learned it was our first visit. I was blown away with the Bolognese and the Short Ribs entree, which I split with my boyfriend. The Sangria was also outstanding! Boozey and sweet, but easy to drink ;) I can't say enough good things about this place - highly recommended! read more

First and foremost this one is very different from the North in Kierland. Which I have decided I prefer actually. A few of my friends and I decided it was amazing patio weather so we decided to sit outside at North. While the dirt floor outside patio is a nice idea it is messy. It has your shoes covered in dirt, not good for OCD girls with open toed expensive shoes. We got the chef board as an app which had 2 cheeses, bread, thin sliced salami, peppers and some spiced nuts. The salami was sliced super thin which was nice for a change and had a spicy kick. I would definitely get it again. We also asked our waitress (who was super nice) if they had a specials. She recommended a sauvignon blanc wine which we decided to try, not knowing that it was $52 a bottle til we got the surprise on our receipt. Our mistake, but I could hardly call that a special. Best part was overhearing the guy get his burnt pizza delivered next to us a slice missing. The waiter had been bumped, a slice fell down he brought that pizza missing slice and all to the customer saying that a new one was on its way. read more

Food was decent, drinks were good -- and other than my date's $15 glasses of pinot noir, drinks were not too overpriced. However, for some reason the outdoor patio was closed on this beautiful evening. I'd definitely go back, but I'd make my date pay next time ;) read more

Had dinner there tonight, it was our first time ordered 2 different bruchetas, the chef's board, zucca chips, the pig & the fig and prosciutto pizzas also got the tiramisu and the salted caramel desert .....the food was spectacular!!! The atomospher reminder me of several restaurants I have visited in San Diego and made me feel like I was almost back in California by the beach. Our waiter Nicolas was the best . Overall had an amazing time ! read more

See all

One of my favorite Italian restaurants! The ambience is really nice and I've had awesome service every time I've visited. I went here recently with my family and everyone agreed it was delicious. Great apps, cocktails, and diverse menu offering pastas and entrees. My favorites are the Bolognese and the burrata anolini. read more

Loved this place, tried the mussels they were awesome sauce was a bit salty for my taste but I Am sensitive to salt. Best Pinot noir ever fox-11 truffle bread was great And really helpfull service is a must and they had it in spades. Went there with a party of 17 very accommodating read more

Looking for bomb pizza and the best happy hour in town? Check in here STAT. Their $20 bottle and board special is insane. You get a bottle of (delicious) wine and your choice of charcuterie board (they do NOT skimp on servings), bruschetta (honestly, just add on the $5 happy hour prosciutto bruschetta to your order), or pizza (daily special or margherita). Two of us come here for a sub $50 date night that includes a bottle of wine, an appetizer, shared pizza, dessert and apertif. It TASTES worthy of a $100+ tab. FANTASTIC service (thank you Alyssa!!) and gorgeous interior to boot. read more

This place has a nice twist on Italian. The atmosphere is great its wide open. You can see everything in the kitchen from meats being cut to things being cooked, there should be an Food Network focus show done here! The lighting is wonderful, I even picked up some interior design ideas. The food was extremely tasty, a little on the salty side, but it probably was the pruiscuitto. The wait staff is extremely friendly and there is complementary valet. North, I've made a new friend, I'm excited to get to know you and your menu in the future and develop a tasty culinary relationship. FYI-this is a great date place. It will delight your date as its not trite. read more

The place is amazing! Friendly staff, great atmosphere, one of my FAVORITE places. Their Tiramisu was amazing and something we treat ourselves to every time we go. So excited they are opening one in Cali so when I go there I have an amazing place I can have dinner. Till next time North. read more

Absolutely the best Italian meal Ive had outside of Italy. It started with the Zuca chips...its very finely sliced zucchini thats deep fried and perfectly seasoned...i am not a fan of zucchini but i couldnt stop eating these. we then had the Chefs Board...its cheese, prosciutto olives, bread, cheese and these 2 wonderful homemade jams....for my entree I got the squid ink Malfaldin....tremendous!! .my wife got the Strozzipreti....very light and delicious...all the pasta is homemade daily...the pizza, while we didnt order it, looked fantastic...definite must for anyone that likes good authentic northern italian cuisine read more

So so good I love the vegetarian options, super cute atmosphere and really good wine. Super nice for a date night :)

Decent Italian fare. Nothing amazing but good enough, with very quick and efficient service, and very good value - hence the 4 not 3 stars. I'd certainly come again. read more

Usually good. Tonight-NO PASTA! WHAT? Pasta machine broken. They don't tell you that though when you arrive. That's like McDonalds having no burgers! Appetizer Artichoke not cooked through. Bad night at North. Will think twice before returning. read more

Came to North Italia on Sunday for an early lunch with my family and my parents who were visiting from CA. The decor was really clean and modern and were greeted by friendly staff. Our server was really attentive to our group the entire meal. The exciting part of the restaurant was that make fresh noodles! We ordered the kids chicken cutlet and kids spaghetti, fig and prosciutto pizza, squid ink spicy seafood pasta, kale salad and meatballs. Our group of 4 adults and 2 kids are plenty and very satisfied!! The real highlights of the meal honestly was the pasta dishes (even the kids spaghetti) and the pizza. Pasta was al dente with great texture and flavor. The spicy tomato based sauce for the squid ink pasta honestly wasn't too spicy but flavorful nonetheless, lots of garlic and onion. The pizza was really good, had the right blend of the salty prosciutto/sweet fig/creamy goat cheese/peppery arugula. The dough was thin and crispy but had enough chew to each bite. Pleasant surprise, worth a try! read more

I've been here a few times prior to my Yelp affiliation. This is a great chill spot. The scene is very much a group gathering spot for sure. Very open and inviting. I sat at the bar and Shane the bartender is a really nice guy who was very happy to let me taste all the various Italian wines. It kills me after all these years of knowing wines I still am amiss when it comes to placing just the right kind of Italian red. No matter, Shane was very hospital and patient. The bruschetta was amazing! It paired very nicely with my chianti. I saw many ordering the cheese plate but it would've been too much for just 1 person. But looked amazing. They really know what they are doing here. Definitely check it out. Great spot. read more

I got to stop in here recently for lunch while visiting Phoenix, and I was definitely impressed. Thankfully, I was with a large group and I got to sample a chunk of the menu because everything was delicious! I definitely suggest starting with the bruschetta. The ingredients were fresh, and the portions were large. I also had the arancini and the asparagus pizza. It's hard to go wrong with the arancini, balls of risotto in a nice red sauce, and the pizza had a good crust and ingredients with the egg on top also making it unique. Add in some red sangria with this and you have all the making for an amazing lunch. In addition, we had a large group and the service was always prompt and friendly. I'm so happy I got to try this place! read more

Over 1.5 hour of the worst service possible (keep in mind this is our spot). We had to ask for everything , to put our apps in, our drinks, even our food. Travis our waiter was blowing us off. I'm more pissed that he was extremely rude as soon as we sat down! Could it be that my husband was wearing his Nine Line support the blue and our waiter had BLM bracelet on? I would hate to think so? Now, in these days so never know! Couldn't even enjoy our food. So angry! Over $100 and absolutely disgusted of how we were treated tonight. We will be taking this with upper management. read more

DELICIOUS. We LOVED the garlic pull apart bread as an apprenticed, the spaghetti and meatballs, & desert donuts! It has a great atmosphere as well. Only thing I would change, is our waitress wasn't the best, but it was our anniversary so we were maybe hoping for just a bit more at the time. Overall would definitely go again! read more

I was definitely impressed with the food here. It's like an urban spin on Italian food so sometimes that can go wrong but everything was actually really good. (I didn't know until just now that it was a Fox restaurant, they are all excellent.) I settled on the Mafaldine, a spicy pasta dish with shrimp, which was delicious. My only complaint is that the portion was really small and the shrimp were tiny but I get that the menu is designed to order in courses. Other favorites at the table were the beet salad, the raviolini, and the pig pizza. In fact the pizza looked so good and I was still hungry so I ordered the verdure pizza to go. Wow, who would've thought that butternut squash, brussell sprouts, and macadamia nuts on a pizza could be so good! And it had that nice char and chewy wood fire crust, amazing. Their food is great but I think the pizza is the ticket here. You really can't go wrong. read more
