A group of us came here for a friend's birthday dinner celebration. We had the pleasure of having Chris as our server. Both service and management were fantastic. The food is some of the best in the area. You have to start with the White Truffle Garlic Bread- its truly next level. I highly recommend the Short Rib (my personal favorite.) Who doesn't love a good risotto? We all shared 3 desserts: Passion fruit sorbet, Hazelnut Torts (Chris' personal favorite) , and the BOMBolinis. We also had plenty of drink requests throughout the night and they really kelt up with us and delivered. We left happy and full. We will definitely be returning soon. P.S. - They have a great space for private events! read more

I have been trying to find my staple go-to italian place ever since I moved down to this area 3 years ago... I had one at home in NJ and haven't been able to find one out here. Now I've finally found it. This place is fantastic. The interior and the vibe are great. It's super spacious and our waitress was so nice and pleasant. Shout out to my roommates for the GREAT recommendation. There honestly wasn't one thing that we ordered that was eh or so-so, which is why this place earned 5 stars from me.. each dish we ordered was actually so delicious and tasteful. What we ordered 1. White truffle garlic bread - AMAZING. Garlic bread on crack 2. Prosciutto bruschetta - so good and tasty (I just love prosciutto, ill put it on anything) 3. Braised short rib - my boyfriend ordered this - I only had one bite, so I'm not sure how to describe this one. All I know is that I enjoyed it 4. Italian Farm salad - this was delicious. wasn't just a boring salad with lettuce. It had so much in it and it was SO GOOD. It could've been my whole meal. 5. Spicy rigatoni alla vodka - it actually had a spice kick to it which made it 100% better than I expected. So creamy and tasty 6. Tiramisu - I always compare to the tiramisu from the italian store and i haven't found any that even compare. This one was just as good maybe even better. This will definitely be my go-to Italian restaurant going forward. Always have to have one of those and I'm glad I finally found mine. read more

We came back after a couple of months to give this another shot. We made reservations and were promptly seated. We ordered a gluten-free pizza, a kale salad with chicken, and the Bronzino. The salad and pizza were good but I was not very thrilled with the Branzino - it did not have much flavor and the quantity of the actual fish (fillet) was very little with a lot of side vege's. The restaurant ambience was good as usual, but the food is very expensive, especially for the little quantity that they serve for the primary dishes. read more

Ate here for the first time, and it was phenomenal. It's very close to real European flavor (something I am familiar with from my time living in Germany for half a decade and traveling the region). The appetizers were tasty and well-portioned for the value, the bread light and olive oil had just enough bite, and the prosciutto pizza had possibly the most perfect dough/crust I've had in the last ten years with quality ingredients topping it. The atmosphere was refreshing with the outdoor seating covered by well-appointed shade and the bustle of community around it. The service was on point and responsive without being overly engaged and smothering. This is one of my new top three spots going forward. read more

Dined outdoors here for the first time a few weekends ago. I'd been looking forward to trying this spot for a while since I do love a good homemade pasta. We ordered the white truffle garlic bread, Caesar salad, spicy meatball pizza, the chicken pesto pasta, spaghetti and meatballs, and the squid ink mafaldine. The white truffle garlic bread is to DIE FOR and probably the only thing that I really loved on the menu. The Caesar salad was good and the pizza was also decent, although I prefer a more authentic Neopolitan styled pizza with a good dough and charred crust. I was hoping to be blown away by the pastas, but they fell a little flat for me. The noodles themselves were all good, but the sauces and the dishes were all just very average at the end of the day. Nothing was exceptional flavor wise and the sauces could've used more punch overall. Although the food fell flat, we enjoyed the spacious patio and great service (s/o to our server with the Lebron mask!) Overall, this might be a place I'd stop by if I'm in the area, but not somewhere I would actively seek to go--especially if I'm looking for some phenomenal Italian pastas. read more

Came for dinner and had great service by Chris M again. He is such a great waiter and what we keep coming back. Had beef ribs and scallops for dinner tonight and they were both good. Not a fan of the grilled bread and good oil as it was saturated with oil ant not very good. Chris brought us regular bread and olive oil and that was much better. Overall the dinner was 4.5 for food, 5 for service read more

We just had to come back again! This time Zen was our waitress, she was very kind and took great care of us! I had to get the Chicken Parmesan again because it was so delicious last time! My boyfriend went with the Salmon this time and he said it did not disappoint! And of course we had to get the red velvet butter cake again..... SO SO TASTY, we even got another one togo. We can't wait to go back for a third time. Thanks Zen, Justin & all the staff at North Italia for a wonderful dinner! read more

Their margaritas Pizza is my fav and [[HIGHLIGHT]]also like the location, nice sitting area[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. I'll be coming back again.

Very good service during lunch hour and food is good. They were able to accommodate the 8 of us. The Shrimp scampi has 5 pcs and comes with 3 toasts to dip with. The dipping was quite delicious . Shared with my colleagues who enjoyed as well. You can't go wrong with the prosciutto goat cheese and fig pizza . read more

I came here for the first time with my little brother after ice skating, and we had a great experience. Despite being one of the last people in the restaurant, we never felt rushed or pushed to finish up. I ordered the pomegranate mule and it was perfect, not too sweet, not too strong. We ordered the white truffle garlic bread which was amazing, and then the bolognese. We decided to split the pasta, and we were both stuffed by the end of our meal. Service was spot on, Chris did a spectacular job of being attentive and friendly. I would definitely recommend this place, and I will be coming back! read more

The perfect evening! We had a gathering of old friends. Not being from this area, we took a risk and based on yelp reviews we called North Italia. We were planning a special dinner to get together with friends. From the moment we made arrangements over the phone to Antonio's service waiting on us this evening we had a great time. Thank you so much. Great food, service and staff. read more

If you're ever looking for some just plain good Italian food north Italia is a place to go. We go here for date nights that we can choose a restaurant because we know that we will have a meal that we are satisfied with. Our go to for appetizers is that olive oil bread which can't be beat. Make sure you ask your server for recommendations on wine pairings because they have a wealth of knowledge. read more

You can definitely taste the freshness in every bite. The outside ambiance is cool, chic, and very comfortable. This place is in the cut of the town center but still in the heart of it all. We really enjoyed our food but our server, John, we enjoyed more. He really sold the dishes in a way that was too good to refuse. I truly wasn't hungry when I sat down, but my curiosity was piqued when he read the specialties. This place is a solid 4.5 to me because it has all the tools and ingredients to be a hot spot... it's just so very laid back that it's missing a bit of swag that I look for. But still... solid... especially on a relaxation needed day. read more

I went here with my boyfriend for my birthday a few months ago and I was so impressed with the service and the food. It was a 30-minute wait to get seated and stayed busy once we were sat. Being a server before myself, I thought the staff handled the crowds and the requests very well. There's not much to say about the food. It was delicious and I don't recall the wait being too long. read more

Still coming off that Boston high, I could resist trying this Italian restaurant new to Reston Town Center. I had heard good things about it and felt compelled to go with a friend of mine who also loves Italian food. It also helps that I can walk to it from my residence in about 20 minutes. The restaurant interior is clean and chic, and it reflects in the servers and the food itself. Your food comes with complementary olive oil and bread (unlimited) and then we got down to business. I got the famed Squid-ink Mafaldine and my friend got an individual Margarita pizza. The food came out in a timely manner and it all looked and tasted fresh! My mafaldine was terrific but a bit messy. It is a bit spicy but it worked well. The pizza looked and tasted fabulous, according to my friend. My only two complaints are that the prices are a bit high - $20 for lunch is a little steep, and the portions are on the small side. But for lunch I guess I can forgive them for me not feeling stuffed. I would return to try another one of their pizzas or pastas. read more

Decent food, good service and a broad menu. My friends live for the chicken parm. I enjoy the meatballs, the salads and the spicy rigatoni.

Wow! We happened to be in Reston Town Center enjoying a random 60 degree day in December and decided to stop in for a late lunch. We had their weekend brunch menu around 3p on a Saturday. The place is clean and decorated in a cool and modern way that makes the space look open. The service was great and Chris M, our server, was extremely friendly. It was my husband and I with our 15 month old. Their high chair was also clean and not sticky. We started with mussels and their bread with oil. Both were amazingly good and the bread was grilled but still soft. We got the salami on the side so the mussels wouldn't be spicy. Our entrees were so good. I got the strozzapreti with shrimp instead of chicken. I loved my dish. I loved the creamy sauce and I HATE al dente pasta and they cooked the pasta through so it was soft. The shrimp was cooked perfectly and the portion was a healthy portion instead of ridiculously huge. My husband got the short rib radiatori which he loved also. The sauce was good and there was a slight citrus flavor it which was nice. Again, pasta was cooked through and soft, which our preference. So with great service, great food, and great ambiance, we highly recommend this place to everyone who wants an Italian place with a little different menu then your usual items that are the same everywhere. Also they have healthier portions and options for gluten free and vegetarian to substitute the pasta at an extra charge. read more

I had a bit of a rough day and being familiar with North Italia in Austin, I wanted to eat somewhere I knew would be good. This place did not disappoint. I had the grilled bread, the Italian salad, pasta and a slice of my friend's spicy meatball pizza. Every bite was delicious. Got a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand. That was yummy too. And as icing on the cake, the manager Sanjay was absolute delight. I saw him working hard all night and then he came over to check on us at the end of our meal. The whole experience was delightful. read more

Extremely high prices and extremely bad food. I also found the service here very impersonal and very focused on tips making sure everybody orders as much as possible. Overall, this restaurant gets a huge thumbs down because the food is extremely bad. Proof that you do not need to serve good food to make a lot of money in American restaurants today. read more

I wasn't impressed with the food. The calamari was rubbery. The garlic bread was burnt and more like large croutons. The spaghetti and meatballs was good but the sauce was nothing special, i wouldn't recommend the "grilled" asparagus. When I received it they had covered the asparagus in an extreme amount of cheese. After my first bite it was then that I realized why they covered it in cheese the asparagus was completely burnt and they were trying to hide it. More than likely will not be back. The service was ok and it is a nice place other than the crazy entrance. I may give it a chance again in the future as the food can be done better. read more

I've tried the location in the Boro but I had a much better experience at the Reston location. The food was delicious and the server was attentive and friendly. The appetizer suggestion was on point as well! I would definitely eat this combo again. Yum!! The ambiance here is a bit on the "energetic" side (even on week nights) just as a warning for those that prefer a quieter experience. If you don't mind this, I would recommend giving it a try. read more

Great food and wine selections, awesome service and friendly staff. Chef Kris was so gracious to stop by our table to talk about their specials. We tried the Chef's board and Farmer's Market board. Definitely recommended for appetizers. Tuscan Chicken and the Diver's Scallop are sumptuous. Desserts were awesome too (forgot what they're called). The ambiance is great for family gatherings, happy hour or a romantic date. The tables are spread out and not crammed. The place is clean. Will go again. read more

I came to North Italia for lunch, and the food is absolutely delicious! It is located in the heart of Reston Town Center, and the restaurant is very spacious, and the host was exceptionally welcoming. The restaurant was packed when I arrived, so it is best to make reservations. For appetizer, I ordered the Beef Carpaccio; for entree, I ordered the Short Rib Radiatori and the Squid Ink Mafaldine; and for dessert, I ordered the Pistachio Olive Oil Cake. I ordered a cocktail called the Last Great Wine Thief, which consists of plymouth gin, hopped grapefruit bitters, sauvignon blanc, and clover honey. The good: The Beef Carpaccio is absolutely amazing! It consists of dolce gorgonzola, toasted pine nut, salsa verde, arugula, and grilled bread. The presentation is gorgeous, and it is so thinly cut and soft. The Squid Ink Mafaldine is delicious! It is the first time having Squid Ink pasta, and I will definitely come back for it. It consists of white shrimp, calamri, acqua pazza, mint, fennel pollen, and calabrian chili. The server advised that it would be a little spicy, but honestly, it's only a very subtle hint of spice that it'll be on par with a black pepper spice so nothing to notice. The shrimp and calimari were soft and flavorful. The great thing about the way the noodle is shaped is that it would collect the pasta sauce effortlessly so that each bite is guaranteed to be flavorful. The Short Rib Radiatori is a lighter pasta dish, yet satisfyingly creamy. It consists of a parmesan cream, fresh horseradish, wilted arugula, and herbed breadcrumb. The best part is the short rib as it was extremely tender and savory with each bite. The bad: The presentation of the Pistachio Olive Oil Cake is beautiful, but the taste left more to be desired. It consists of mascarpone crema, strawberry jam, saba, and mint. The cake itself tasted a bit dry, but the strawberry jam and mascarpone crema were delicious. The strawberry jam was flavorful, and the mascarpone crema was light and tasty. Overall, the food is definitely delicious, and one of the better pastas I've tasted in the area. Difficult decision to choose between the Squid Ink Mafaldine and the Short Rib Radiatori. I love the uniqueness of the Squid Ink, but I would go with the Short Rib for a light creamy pasta with flavorful short rib. Definitely returning for the Beef Carpaccio! read more

The good: the tomato soup was terrific, and the caprese sandwich was good. The bad: half an hour to wait for a sandwich on a Tuesday midday with the restaurant close to empty when we ordered?

The pizza was great. Seating is a little precarious as the tables all tilt and wobble but just made for a funny lunch.

This is worst restaurant I have been in my 78 year life. I ordered a Pizza that had Mushroom coming with it and added Green Pepper. After a long (more than usual) Pizza come with no Mushroom and no Green Pepper. I mentioned the issue to the server, he apologized and told me we will provide you with a pizza with double mushroom and green pepper to to take home. I agreed and finished my food. Guess what, when my bill arrived I noticed there $27 for the pizza I am taking home. I HAVE NEVER EVER EXPERIENCED THIS IN MY LIFE. Always if restaurant mess up on the order either the order is free or replacement is free. I really. strongly ask you not to go to this restaurant. The food is not good either. Please help yourself and others so this restaurant and the ones like this learn their lessons. I just came out of the restaurant 7:40 PM on Saturday 9/21/2024 read more

Had an absolutely delish Valentine's meal at North Italia in Reston last week! It was a prix fixe menu with three courses and my first one was this lobster gnocchi. It was the perfect ratio of buttery and saucey with lobster chunks throughout. My chicken parm was the second course and was huge, I took half home. The seasonal cake for my last course was awesome as well, I really enjoyed the ice cream on top. The staff did a great job handling such a busy night and we loved our meals. The tables were a little close together, but that is to be expected on such a busy night. Definitely check this place out for your next date night! read more
