We usually come here once a month or so, but last night was our first time having a bad experience to the point we just walked out ( and no one even noticed ) ! lol We had to wait 10+ minutes to get seated for our reservation, they seated us at a very tiny table, so I asked them to move us, which they kindly did to a high top. Once reseated, we waited and waited and not a single server came up to us, so we just got up and left. Get it together North Italia ! read more

This restaurant fills up quick, so either go early or make a reservation. I only sat at the bar, but service was amazing every time. Bartenders are very nice and accommodating. Food is incredible. Pastas are good, but my personal favorite (which I normally would never order) are the scallops. Cooked perfectly over a sweet corn / asparagus risotto. Absolutely the best dish on the menu. Ambiance in the overall restaurant is also great. You can tell everyone that works there gets along great and gives off great vibes. All in, if you are in the area - - this is a must go to! read more

Parking: Free self parking inside the garage. Interior: Open, modern design. Service: Had reservations but still had to wait about 15 minutes to get seated.

Drinks: Pretty decent wine selection - went with red wine and it paired well with the food. Overall: Two thumbs up! I would definitely come back to try their other pastas and wine selection! :) read more

I've been to North Italia a few times but it was my first time trying the squid ink pasta. No wonder this is such a popular dish here! The pasta texture was perfect and had plenty amount of shrimp and calamari in there for me to enjoy with the pasta. The sauce was spicy tomato sauce and it paired really well with all the ingredients. I love the atmosphere - it's very big but feels well organized and clean. Server was also very attentive and gave good recommendations when I asked. I should be going back here more often! read more

Atmosphere is nice, clean but loud Front staff- there was a blond girl, just not the most friendly. I'm sure she's busy but it was before dinner & she was just not friendly at all. Food- it took a long time and all we got was pizza, spaghetti and chicken Alfredo. The food was tasty though and pasta was fresh. I'd recommend but it wasn't what I expected. Not sure if that helps but I hope. read more

The food here is so delicious. The pasta is fresh and has great flavor. The meatballs were so tender and flavorful and laid on a bed of ricotta. We used the garlic bread we ordered to dip into the left over meatball sauce and ricotta and it was such a great pairing. The chicken pesto pasta and bolognese were both hits and the cocktail, La Dolce Vita, was so refreshing and good, a great choice for passion fruit lovers like myself. We came on a Sunday around lunch time. It was busy but we managed to get seats without waiting. The restaurant is pretty big, the ambiance is loud, and our server was so nice. read more

grilled bread and olive oil: 10/10 seasonal vegetable salad: 9/10 chocolate gelato: 10/10 pistachio gelato: 10/10! tiramisu: 10/10 love this location! i've been to a north italia in nashville and it was disappointing especially for the price. but our experience here was great! i didn't even take pictures of the food because i expected to not care enough to review. dessert review: we loved the gelatos. everyone favored a different flavor so both get 10/10. my favorite was the pistachio. there were chocolate flakes: pieces in the chocolate which made it a big hit! the tiramisu has chocolate pearls on top which make it great! the tiramisu was not cold at all which made it significantly worse to me, but everyone else loved so i still give 10 parking: this area has paid (and maybe unpaid) garages and free one hour street parking. bathroom: 4 individual gender neutral bathrooms. i don't have a number for it since there was a line so i wasn't focused read more

This place was closed to where we stayed and we were starving. When we first walked in, they have such cute vibes. People who sit outside, drinking cocktails or wine, laughing and talking. I love it. Then we were greeted with a great smile and we got a booth seat. There were so many options to choose from but my husband got spicy meatballs pizza. And I got Ricotta Cavatelli. They gave generous amounts of meatballs and cheese on the pizza. You can make a cheese pull from it; and shrimps for my pasta. Overall I loved it. I ordered white wine, but sadly there was a bug in it, probably flew in there after. Let's not think I got extra proteins. Anyways, my server got me a new wine immediately. It was a great experience. read more

Looking for a nice Italian restaurant that understands Italian? Here's your spot. The service was great as the server was very engaging. She made sure to offer drinks, appetizers and entrees separately. She was on time for refills on drinks. The food was well cooked and tasted wonderful. I suggest the lasagna and spicy rigattoni. Great for business meetings, special occasions for couples and dates. I suggest making reservations in advance. Enjoy! read more

I've been to north italia a couple times for lunch. Sometimes it's been a bit crowded so it was good we had a reservation. Other times it wasn't busy. I've gotten the pizza each time & it's always amazing. The salads seem a little lack luster but my friends usually like it. The sandwiches look AMAZING! I need to try one one of these days. The ambiance is nice. Feels bright & refreshing. I would suggest trying out North Italia! read more

We reserved a table in the middle of the day but it took us 2 hours to get the tab. If we had a waiter that would have come by more than 3 times over the entire time it would have gone much faster. We had to go to the bar so some of our party of 6 adults could get a second beverage. The food was overcooked and average at best. We were ready to go after an hour, they could have turned the table twice. The manager came over and told us that they put an automatic gratuity on the tabs that have a party of 8 or more, we had 3 kids with us and each couple paid their own tab. She gave us our options and said she would take the consensus. We all always pay 20% or more. One person in our party said 20% so she walked away. We never complained but she knew the service was super slow so she tried to make sure we left a good tip. We have been to restaurants where they automatically add 18-20% and I have no problem with that but to walk up to a table of 6 adults and randomly give us our options was crazy. This is the first negative review I have ever left and I would never have left one if it wasn't for the manager. read more

I have eaten here a few times and it is a solid north italia location. I had the pulled meat mac and cheese once and it was very tastey, i wish the portion was a bit more. The pizza is not worth it due to the dryness of the crust and portion size. The ambiance is comfortable and feels like a nice place to eat. The service is solid and my only issue is that on a busy day it might take a bit longer to get your waiter to come and get your check. read more

My first time at North Italia was amazing omg! I can't believe I was passing up on this place in Legacy the whole time! My server Ciara D. made so many recommendations for my table and everything hit! My drink, the passione was the best aperol I've ever had. First off I tried the truffle bread and it was the best thing I've ever tried in my life! The bread was so good like omg! For my main dish I got the chicken parm with spicy rigatoni! Now it was very spicy, I didn't expect that at all. For dessert I tried the bombolini, they're like cream filled beignets, but the cream it's too sweet. It's such a good balance. The vibes is very nice, I hosted a girls brunch and it was the perfect place! All the food 10/10, I loved it here and I WILLLL be back! Thanks so much Ciara! read more

Top-notch ambience in a high-end, stylish location -- North Italia always delivers when it comes to a celebratory night out. Everything was great except the long wait so better make reservation well in advance. We kicked things off with the White Truffle Garlic Bread, and it was the perfect start: warm, indulgent, and beautifully layered with house-made ricotta, mozzarella, grana padano, and fresh herbs. Truly addictive. I opted for the Trottole Pesto Pasta (without chicken), and it was a standout -- bright, fresh, and perfectly balanced with sweet basil, shaved garlic, toasted pine nuts, and crispy capers. Full of flavor without feeling heavy. The Margherita Pizza (customized without chicken, with fresh basil, EVOO, and extra veggies) was made to perfection -- a crispy, airy crust with just the right amount of char and a burst of freshness in every bite. For dessert, we shared the Brookie Sundae -- a decadent treat that's great for sharing. Three scoops of amazing gelato (vanilla, pistachio, and chocolate), paired with dark chocolate sauce, banana, strawberries, and crunchy pecans. The ideal sweet ending! North Italia continues to be my go-to for special occasions. Can't wait to return! read more

North Italia - Brookie Sunday - Italian Near Me - Plano, Texas

We frequent this location often and have been coming here weekly for years without having issues. I was shocked at the service that we received when we came in to celebrate a birthday. My friend checked in (on time) with the front desk for our reservation, letting them know we were here and was told "And?". What do you mean, "And?", this is the check-in desk. She was then rudely told to move out of the way and wait to the side. We had a larger group and when we went to sit down, a waiter told us to "just sit down!" because it was taking us a minute to get situated. We have someone in the group that has a knee condition that takes them a minute to get around. What was supposed to be a nice celebration was soured by this warm welcome. The food was excellent as always and our waiter was great, but not sure we will return to this location. It's disappointing to feel unwelcome at one of my favorite restaurants. read more

Went here on a Sunday for lunch and the place was like 30% full. Got a nice table immediately and upon our ask the waitress recommended the 2 items we got. The pesto pasta was the star of the show for me, light yet decadent, slight lemony flavor, fresh pesto and noodles. So GOOD! The meatball pizza was also very good and provided a nice contrast to the pasta. Pizza was fairly large for the price and very warm and hearty but not greasy at all. Prices for both were around 20 dollars which was extremely reasonable given the quality and portion size you get. Restaurant is very modern italian with a good amount of space and natural light. Great spot for a dinner date or casual lunch hangout. read more

Hubby & I went for lunch during the week. I had made a reservation, so we were seated within about 5 minutes or so. There were quite a few people there... even larger groups celebrating the holidays. Inside is decorated quite nicely. Service was pretty good. We had calamari, bread, meatballs, & Bolognese. The food was pretty good...I will say it's a bit pricey for lunch but really good. Overall... good food. read more

The BRAISED SHORT RIB MARSALA is exceptional. My son had the sea scallops and enjoyed his dish very much. Service was good, but nothing exceptional. Prices are a little inflated in my opinion. Meatball appetizer should be skipped as it was very ordinary. As always, the truffle bread was pretty good. For some reason, this visit seemed like it was not quite up to the usual standards for the bread. In short, I recommend North Italia and get the braised short rib. read more

I had a horrible experience at the Austin, TX location and was hesitant to return to North Italia; however, upon a friends suggestion, I was pleasantly surprised with my experience. I got the chicken parmesan which they substituted the vodka sauce for me. The chicken was nice and crispy and the pasta had a good amount of sauce. Would definitely return. read more

Not our first time at this restaurant but first time at this location. This place is located in Legacy West. Parking wasn't bad and was able to walk directly over to the restaurant. There was not a wait when we came - we were immediately sat and our waiter came to our service after about 5 minutes. The restaurant aesthetic was really nice and clean. Food, amazing as usual. We always get the white truffle garlic bread as appetizer and then we tried pizza this time instead of pasta. We shared the pizza between two people and we were full. The special was the cacio e pepe pizza. We got the special and + added chicken on top. Delicious! definitely will be coming back. read more

Our group of 4 was celebrating a birthday, and we decided on North Italia's Sunday brunch. The main dining room is open and bright, with high ceilings and a view of the kitchen. Also available is outdoor dining, and covered outdoor dining. The brunch menu has an ecclectic mix of usual breakfast fare, and pasta dishes. We opted for fried calamari for the table. Interestingly, they do not bring bread for the table, but you may order this as an appetizer. The pasta dishes we had came in huge bowls, enough for everyone to have a taste. I have to rave about the beautifully presented salmon dish. What a treat!!!! Perfectly done, and presented on a bed of pea-sized green pasta, with broccolini and green cauliflower... delicious! We also had the short-rib lasagna, not a layered tomatoey dish, very different. This was served in a small casserole pan, with a molten white cheese sauce, and tender short rib meat. This was a heavy dish, probably more suited to share on a cold winter day. Our server Demitrius took great care, was so friendly and efficient. The Sunday Brunch appeared quite family friendly, but I could also see the potential for a romantic date night. read more

Even on a Tuesday night, this place was happening!!! Our server Sunny, was absolutely superb!!! He started the evening with a genuine and sincere compliment and wishing us for our birthdays and made the BEST recommendations! He was joyful, polite, attentive, and overall a pleasure to have been served by him! I truly believe we had such an amazing time because of him! The food was spectacular and delicious from start to finish! We had the garlic cheese bread- which you HAVE to get- it was creamy, garlicky, warm, and oh soooo good! For the entrée we got the Funghi pizza and Chicken Parmesan with the vodka sauce pasta on the side- both were soooo good we licked the plates clean! (Yeah- that good!) and we ended the evening with the pumpkin cheesecake- like how could you go wrong here! Overall an excellent meal, great service, and totally worth another trip!! read more

ORDER - Calamari Fritti - this dish was great! Very crunchy and lots of calamari was served. It was served on top of giardiniera which gave more flavor to the calamari itself. The lemon when squeezed on top made the calamari even better along with the different dipping sauces. Overall, pretty solid dish. - Grilled Bread & Good Olive Oil - also something I thoroughly enjoyed. It's really just grana padano cheese on top of toasted bread with herbs and olive oil. We got two orders for each of the tables and my bread was toasted nicely, however the other side did have bread that was pretty burned. However, despite this dish being pretty simple, the flavors are very prominent. I really enjoyed the taste of the cheese and the like buttered thing on top. - The Pig - Pizza topped with sopressatta, salumi, spicy pepperoni, and Italian sausage. I'm not of Italian origin so maybe this is the way it's supposed to be, but this dish was especially salty. It was almost unbearable to eat because it was so salty. My brother and I downed our water just from the dehydration from the salt afterwards. Other than it being salty, it was crispy which was good. - Spicy Rigatoni - I was overall pleased with this dish. It has Italian sausage, garlic, basil, and crispy pancetta. It also was a bit salty but still overall very good. The sauce was in just the right amount to cover but not soak the pasta. I really enjoyed this dish! - Bombolini - These are Italian donuts with strawberry coulis inside. It almost tastes like a beignet but a lot more doughy. Still pretty good but flavor can get a little tiring quick since it is on the more rich side. Overall, some foods were stellar while others were not as much. By overall consensus from the table, a lot of the food was overly salted and that added to the wait time made for a less pleasant experience than we had hoped. I enjoyed some of the foods here and may come back because that could have been just an unlucky day. VIBES More elevated casual vibes for the restaurant. Very brightly lit from the large windows out front. Interior is spacious and has plenty of seating. Pretty loud and filled with lots of families, dates, friends, and people celebrating various occasions. Great place to catch up with people and very clean, nice vibes. SERVICE Service from the side of the waiter was great! He was very responsive to our needs and checked on us. He was also very prompt in ordering and refilling our drinks. Since it was so busy, it took quite a bit for food to come out. Then after that, it did take a while to get the bill out but other than that service was fine. read more

North Italia is truly an excellent dining experience that I hope everyone reading this is able to have. The ambiance is perfect, the restaurant is spacious, and you get high quality food without it feeling supper "uppity". To start, I came in a party of 3 to celebrate a friend's birthday. The service was amazing. Our server, Georgia, was notably kind and personable. She really added to the meal. I tried 4 different offerings from the menu, and they were all incredible. From my cocktail to the white truffle bread (one of the best things I've ever had, and HUGE!) to the eggplant parmesan and vegetarian pasta, each dish brought to the table was completely enjoyable. The seasonal vegetarian pasta is a mushroom cream one, which was preferable for me to the summer burrata/tomato one, though they are both great! The truffle bread is big enough to share with 3-5 other people because it is super dense, The eggplant parm comes with a spicy vodka sauce that definitely has a kick to it! Overall, it was a great dinner. The birthday girl got a complimentary dessert at the end to celebrate, and we all spoke highly of the entire experience. I highly, highly recommend checking North Italia out if you are able to! read more

This was my first time dining here as it usually packed I had high expectations but unfortunately I was let down. I ordered two entrees and both were disgusting. Fan favors must be the only think keeping this place popular because anything outside of the recommendations will disappoint.

Came here on a Saturday night and the least enjoyable part was the parking. There were a couple garages to pick from, but they were all full so I had to pass the restaurant 3 times before I found parking ...ANYWAYS... We sat at the bar because the wait time was close to an hour. Our waitresses were very kind and informative and were quick with service. The food was very flavorful and came out in a timely manner. Everything we tasted was 10/10. Would definitely go again to try the pizzas! read more
