So so great. Went with a big group and we ordered SO MUCH FOOD to share and literally everything was a 10/10. Some standouts were the white truffle garlic bread, calamari, arancini and meatballs. For entrees, I got the chicken parm with vodka sauce instead and it was so thin, crispy and delicious. I also loved the grilled chicken ceaser salad. We had a couple servers and they were all phenomenal. Very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Can't wait to return. read more

We've been coming to North Italia for years now but our dinner tonight was a disaster. We arrived at 6.30pm. Placed our orders at 6.45. 2 caesar salads with a side of salmon and a pizza. We were the only guests outside. The restaurant inside was 2/3 full. Drinks went un-refilled. No-one checked on us. By 7.20 we started asking about our food. 5 minutes later my husband's pizza arrived. It was cold. Then our two saiads / salmons arrived 5 minutes later. They were nice but my husband decided just not to eat by this point. The manager bought us a slice of cake as an apology. But then it was added to the bill and had to be removed. When the final bill arrived we waited ages for someone to take payment. In the end we ended up taking our card and check inside to take care off it. It just felt like the staff had given up. I don't know what happened to this place but this was a huge disappointment. It looks like North Italia is off our restaurant list now. read more

I rarely write bad reviews, but this was something else. Nothing bad about the food, but the service was horrible at best. After the kids got their food quickly, we had to wait more than 55 min to get our food. I've asked to pack it to go since it was very late for my kids. Zero apologies or explanations from the clueless waitress. She said "ok",gave us the check and said that it will take just 2 minutes to pack the food. 20 minutes later!! (about 70+ minutes after ordering) we got the packed food. I was so frustrated that I've asked to talk to the manager. We waited a few minutes for him/her to show up, but had to go cause the kids were restless and tired.. They could have made it right by just apologizing and/or treat us with one/two of the very delayed entries. Honestly I never felt so unseen and overlooked by any waitress in my life. Shame on you!!! I would have given her 0 stars if I could. Edit: they responded to my review below, so I got fairly optimistic that they will make it right. I wrote to them online per their request, and I yet to receive any response. It's been over a week now. So the bad service continues even post visit read more

Tried North Italia for the first time with a group of friends! The restaurant itself is cute and spacious. Service was great and we got some great menu recommendations from our server! We came on a weekday evening and were seated right away. There's also a public parking lot across the street that's $1 for the first 90 minutes. We loved getting to share several dishes! What we tried: - White truffle garlic bread - with house made ricotta, mozzarella, grana padano cheese. So yummy and perfect for sharing! - Hot honey and smoked prosciutto pizza - arugula, pecorino, speck (a lightly smoked ham). I love a good prosciutto pizza, and this hit the spot perfectly - Spicy rigatoni vodka - Italian sausage, crispy pancetta. Flavorful and with a nice kick! - Bolognese - meat sauce with pappardelle. Their house specialty and a must try! - Trottole chicken pesto - love the fun spiral shape of the trottole! A great pesto dish - Spicy broccolini - a solid side dish with a perfect amount of spice Overall a great spot for dinner with friends or family! read more

North Italia in Santa Monica is amazing. It is in an adorable area in Santa Monica. Parking is not fun, but I think they have valet. There are also public lots for a fee very close by. The place is beautiful and ever so comfortable. There is not a bad seat in the house. You can have delivery, pick up or dine there. Sometimes there is patio seating as well. It does get very crowded so make reservations or go during and off time. That is what we did and the place was almost empty. As we enjoyed the great food and service, we watched it fill up. By the time we left, there was a long line. The service is just great. Our server knew the menu well and suggested to me a great pasta with a lemon type sauce. It was like nothing I have had before. Everything there is great and you will be happy. They have vegetarian options and a few vegan. Have a great time. read more

The restaurant was on my "to try list". The reservations were fairly simple and once we showed up, we were seated right away. The restaurant offers plenty of seating space inside as well as outside. Our server was really attentive and suggested items from the menu that are popular as well as some of the entrees that are loved by staff. Calamari Fritti was a different spin on a traditional calamari. It was fried with a batter that was a little sweet. The lemon wedge helped cut the sweetness. The two sauces provided a nice touch. Seared scallops were delicious and cooked perfectly. The bed of sweet corn risotto accompanied the protein well. The crispy shallots were a miss, for me. They were bitter. Roasted salmon entree was good. The fish was cooked well and the pesto pasta was good. Overall, the restaurant was a good choice for a delicious meal. The service is great and ambiance completes the dinner. read more

Stopped by North Italia for an early lunch and had a great experience. The space is beautiful--plenty of seating, a large bar, and a really inviting outdoor patio. We grabbed seats at the bar and Max took great care of us. Service was attentive without being overbearing. We shared the seasonal burrata, fungi pizza, and beet with chicken salad--everything was excellent. The standout was definitely the pizza. Some of the best I've had in recent memory--thin, perfectly cooked, and just really well done. Will absolutely be back. read more

Worst customer service experience ever. We went on a Sunday night before 7:00 and placed our order almost immediately. It took at least 30 minutes just to get the garlic truffle bread. After waiting 50 minutes, I finally asked our server why everything was taking so long. Only then did she tell us that there were tickets ahead of ours, including one extremely large order. Another 10-15 minutes passed before the manager finally came over to tell us he was "working with the kitchen." At that point, we were ready to leave. He then tried to blame the delay on the server "coursing out" our appetizer. I pointed out that we had only received bread--there was nothing to course out--and that he should have come over much earlier. At the absolute minimum, he should have comped the bread and our nonalcoholic drinks because of the excessive wait. He did nothing. read more

Honestly, I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty these two dishes were? The cavatelli had a lot of shrimp and crab in it with a strong seafood taste, which I didn't mind, but it was a bit on the oily side. The truffle garlic bread was also really good!! Buttery, garlicky, and truffly but it wasn't hot when it arrived /: The service was good, they checked in on the table a decent bit and the interior is nice as well. read more

chicken pesto pasta ($27) - i love everything about this bowl of PESTO; from the pasta type to the flavor, it is everything i expected a simple pesto pasta to be - the shape is trottole, which became one of my favorite because it's thick and chewy, holds the sauce exceptionally well - the crazy ingredient is the pine nuts! Not many places have them in the dish; pine nuts add a subtle piney notes and faint forest aroma that i am a big fan of - the portion size is crazy too; with generous amount of chicken, i was full just half a bowl in - while the noodles can be even more chewy and the sauce a bit less heavy and oily, the quality is there and flavor hits the spot wild shrimp scampi ($20) - Super jumbo bouncy shrimp i love the quality and the chew - heavy on the garlic, herb butter, and squeeze of lemon ! Great flavors but could be a bit heavy as a starter - comes with grilled bread which was nicely toasted and crunchy, pairs perfect with the garlicky n buttery shrimp funghi pizza ($24) - a basic mushroom pizza that didn't really stand out - it was good but the truffle oil was a bit too strong for my liking and not in a pleasant way; it makes sense though because truffle oil will always come off stronger and different than actual truffle slices being freshly grated on top - the crust wasn't memorable and the flavor was average, so i wouldn't personally recommend this rating: 4.7/5 - i know this is a corporate spot and a chain but it is honestly so good if you just want something simple, easy, and reliable... they have it all - the ambiance could feel a bit upscale but still comfortable and casual - the service was OUTSTANDING! From wine tasting and giving recommendations, to serving food, our waiter did an amazing job accommodating us yay; he literally went above and beyond into splitting my pasta bowl into two, knowing i was gonna share it with my friend IG: @nom.noms.only read more

Just so happened to stumble in after leaving the pier and trying to find something for a group of 4, with 1 vegan. This was a great experience. Our server was amazing throughout the night. It's a large restaurant, very nicely decorated. Everything we ate was amazing. I also tried the calamari and pina no colada, not pictured. It was great. Really enjoyed my pasta, and everyone at the table had a great meal. The vegan said this was the best pasta she has had. read more

Came back twice, and even though the service is pretty great, the food is a bit inconsistent. I get the same thing every time, which is the chicken pesto without cream. Each time, has been different. The first time was the best, rich flavor with a tang of lemon. Last time was sort of watery and runny. Another time, it was too lemon-y. I understand the modification of not adding cream may be something the staff isn't used to, but I would hope ingredients or measured out to be consistent. Consistency is super important to me because I want to be able to enjoy a meal and bring friends and family and feel excited to receive a great meal at the same standards each time. The ambience and service make the dining experience great, but I wish the food was more consistent. read more

I had a great time here last night and absolutely loved every dish that we ordered! Our experience at this restaurant started off slow. There were two extremely large parties of almost 20 sitting next to us and the servers seemed a little stress. We were not helped for about 10 minutes until I flagged down a server but after that, our experience was amazing. The server was absolutely the kindest and one of the most animated servers I've had. He was really excited about the food and said that we ordered some of the best dishes in the restaurant. Supposedly the white truffle garlic bread and the bolognese were the best dishes on the menu so we got those! The food began to come out about 15 minutes after ordering but I'm not complaining because the food was so good. Our server was absolutely right! The white truffle garlic bread was SO delicious. It came out really hot and the bread was cooked perfectly. It was so crunchy and the ricotto and mozzarella added a whole nother level to this appetizer. We also ordered the black mediterranean mussels and my god, I was so impressed with this. I'm usually not a huge fan of seafood but these mussels had such an amazing taste. Very minimal fishy taste which is what I don't like. It has pieces of salami in it too that I think added to the taste of the white wine and garlic butter sauce that the mussels were cooked in. For our entrees, we got the spicy meatball pizza which also was SOOO good. I was a huge fan of the ricotta and mozzarella and loved the sausage that they use. Again, we also got the bolognese which was the "house specialty" according to the menu. While this dish was really good, it wasn't as good as the other ones ordered; honestly, that was fine though given the extremely high expectations I already had. I think what made it a little disappointing was that it was slightly "too" al dente. The dough of the noodles were very chewy, but the taste was good! Overall, very impressed. Thank you for a great experience. Somewhat expensive though but worth it. Shoutout to Eddie F. for being such a great server! read more

Wow, so happy I finally got to check this place out! We came here for my niece's birthday and were able to snag a last-minute reservation. We waited a few minutes for our full party to arrive before being seated at a table near the back by the kitchen. I ordered the spicy vodka rigatoni and it definitely had a nice kick to it! Our waiter was super helpful and recommended a few appetizers to start since it was our first time visiting. The staff was also incredibly sweet for storing my niece's cake in the fridge and bringing it out when we sang happy birthday. This spot is very family-friendly, and the portions are generous enough to share while still being a solid serving for one person. I also didn't realize they have a Walnut Creek location, which is much closer to me, so I'll definitely have to check that one out next time! read more

Our server, Summer, made our first visit extra special. She was cheery, engaging and made thoughtful recommendations. The restaurant was a bit cavernous with lots of tables, but many live plants softened the walls. We started with the hot honey and prosciutto pizza. The crust was pleasantly crispy, but I wish there was more prosciutto. The seasonal salad was a knock out! Delicious crisp veggies including corn, pea pods and asparagus in a green goddess dressing was a perfect 10! The bolognese was also delicious with fresh pappardelle pasta and a meaty sauce. Sunday Night Lasagna was rich, creamy and so flavorful. Food and service were outstanding. I look forward to eating here again. read more

The restaurant is really nice, it's a bit dark inside so it feels a bit intimate. You can see the kitchen, which is also cool. Staff are a bit nonchalant, but do their job well otherwise. I do appreciate how they do their best to accommodate for allergies (one of our party has soy and dairy allergy). Personally, I wouldn't come back though. I was disappointed with the food. The plating was nice, but the pasta wasn't very flavorful and I felt like it didn't have enough sauce. Also, bomba style pizza comes with just a side of ricotta cheese (or some similar cheese), not sure why that costs $5 more, doesn't feel worth it. We should have asked what it was beforehand, but we assumed it was a stuffed crust or something of the like. The area is nice, so the high prices are understandable but the taste of the food doesn't meet expectations. read more

I came here last night for dinner. The ambiance was open and modern. The inside was very spacious. This used to be the old Buca di Beppo and North Italia really opened up the space and exposed the high ceiling. I ordered the following: 1. Steamed mussels with bucatini - Since they didn't have clam linguine which was what I wanted, my waitress smartly suggested I do this customization of adding pasta to their steamed mussels made in a garlic buttery wine sauce. I appreciated the customization. I was charged $12 extra for the noddles. This dish also came with grilled bread. The grilled country bread was thick and tasty. 2. Hazelnut tart This was very dry. It had good chocolate flavor. The gelato it came with was delicious. I asked for the pistachio gelato which was another customization and that was creamy and the nuts provided a nice crunch. 3. Ice tea The ice tea tasted house-made and fresh. I would get it again. Overall, the food wasn't bad. Service was good. Good ambiance. read more

What a disappointing experience we had today. We came in to celebrate my husband's birthday with a 5:00 pm reservation. By 5:15 a waiter finally came by to take our order for appetizers and entrées. We ordered the burrata, the eggplant parmesan, and the sweet corn polenta. However, our appetizers didn't arrive until 5:40 and in the meantime, our waiter completely disappeared. Eventually another waiter came by, and my husband asked about our entrees. We had ordered the short rib and the chicken parmesan. He was told they'd be out soon (in 5-6 minutes). My husband pointed out that it was already 6:15 and we had been there since 5:00. The waiter apologized and said it would be just a few more minutes. Our food finally arrived at 6:30. While the dishes themselves were good, the wait times were unacceptable. A manager came over and acknowledged that she noticed several tables seated after us were served much earlier, but said she wasn't sure what had gone wrong. She promised to "look into it," but never followed up. By the time we finished dinner and dessert, it was already 7:00 pm. What should have been a simple meal turned into a two-hour ordeal which was especially frustrating since the restaurant was nearly empty when we arrived. Instead of remembering the food, we'll remember the lack of service. A truly disappointing way to celebrate a birthday. read more

Came in here for a Timeleft dinner Friday eve and was 30 mins early-- so I decided to sit at the bar for a quick bite and drink before everyone else got there. The place was so charming, but I always find TVs to be an aesthetic buzzkill. It felt out of place compared to the rest of it; but that's someone's cup of tea! (Esp during World Cup). There were 3 other people sitting at the bar, rather chill. Took some time to get the bartenders attention-- she'd be chatting with coworkers, looking right past my direction, then proceeding to chat. The gentleman next to me was attempting to get his check for 5 mins before he got her attention lol.. it just gave such a cold vibe to the start of the experience. I asked what the quickest thing on the menu would be, concluded to getting some bread (ya girl was ready to eat an elephant) to make things quick and 15 mins later proceeded to cancel it. I work in this industry, so it's hard when I see someone take note of something, then proceed to not give a hell about it and chit chat. No pit stop to the kitchen, no "hey, can we check on this?". It was cancelled, then the dish came out anyway. The runner was sweet and just gave it to me anyhow, however at that point it was 5 mins from the rezy and the moments passed for a gal to have a peaceful grub. She dropped the check without a word and grabbed the check without a word and that wassss on THAT. Food was great, dinner went awesome-- our server was kind and attentive. Got the shrimp squid ink pasta, was nice to see pescatarian options-- tho not many vegetarian. Paid parking across the street was $3. Not a bad deal! Thanks for having us yall. read more

Service was good. Regular without any extravagance. Though what did stand out is the shelf with a lot of bottles on it. I don't know what fastenings they use but that shelf was STRONG, idk how it carried itself. Very nice touch to bring a lot of bottles in the front. We came when it was slow - got seated right away. Food was regular - nothing outlandish. Taste - same. Though what I do recommend is the ice cream! Big portion, very tasty and definitely worth the money. I want to say that I enjoyed seating on their couch rather than a regular table. The atmosphere is very interesting as there are literally no walls and you can see the whole hall just by looking around. - I like the implementation. Also the kitchen is open view too! I unfortunately noticed it only after I went to a clean restroom. read more

We had an amazing experience celebrating a birthday at North Italia in Santa Monica! We really loved the ambiance, and one of the coolest parts of the ambiance is the visible open kitchen, where you can watch the chefs work their magic and see the fresh dough rising. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious and beautifully plated, including the margherita pizza, the roasted salmon, the heirloom beet and chicken salad, and the roasted artichoke. They also have great options for kids, and both kids' meals were a hit. What really stood out was our warm, friendly server, who took extra care to accommodate a severe nut allergy in our party, making us feel completely safe. To top off a wonderful lunch, they brought out complimentary bombolini with a candle for the birthday celebration. Highly recommend! read more

If dining at North Italian, to avoid a wait, it's highly recommended to make a reservation online. At about 4pm on a Monday, was able to make a reservation for 4 for 7pm. Ordered: White Truffle Garlic Bread $18.50 - A small pyramid of light fluffy cubes of slightly toasted bread, drizzled with melted mozzarella cheese- A favourite! Crispy Eggplant Parmesan $18.00 - Slightly breaded eggplant with mozzarella cheese in sauce. Interesting that this staple entree is served as an appetizer Sunday Night Lasagna $27.00: much too small a serving, by half or more... surprised to read the menu now which claims "braised short rib" as an ingredient. Served in an oval iron skillet, I jokingly placed it in the fire engine red plastic take home clamshell container... and it fit ! Which may help describe how small the serving was. Strozapretti $28.50 - pasta in white sauce, chicken with mushrooms. Good, if not astonishing Overall, a satisfying meal, when not too hungry, with a little pasta leftover for lunch. Definitely not recommended for a hungry family seeking leftovers for subsequent meals. read more

First of all I want to give our server Gloria a huge shoutout! She was amazing!!! Helpful, kind, and great with suggestions as well. The lasagna was out but she helped us order our pasta and add the braised beef on top to give it the same flavor palette and it was amazing to say the least! The garlic bread is also a must anytime you come here. Paired it for the first time with the soup (spicy tomato bisque) and it felt like dipping a fancy grilled cheese into the soup, which was just delicious. I could ramble on about the food but come for yourself. The vibe of this location is also perfect for date night or just a chill night out with friends and family that isn't too far from the beach. By far my favorite North Italian location and my fiancé and I will be back real soon! read more

Came here with friends who were visiting from out of town (Washington State) last Tuesday evening and they had a craving for italian. We walked over from the pier and it was a light walk very nice weather and easy to get to the North Italia. Upon entering the place is very spacious (it was almost empty when we were there however I read in other reviews that it can get pretty crowded) and clean and the servers were friendly, a little TOO friendly. Our server was so upbeat and fun that at first we were really happy, but at some point we were tired of the constant upbeat in depth explanations. It would have been fine and we still would have been happy, however it took over an HOUR for our food to come out. None of us ordered anything complicated, and as I mentioned earlier it was almost empty there were not many customers, so not sure why the food took that long to be served. I got the pizza, one of the kids got a burger and fries, and everyone else got pasta dishes. I was ok because I was enjoying catching up with my friends and seeing them again so we had allot of great conversation, but you can understand the kids were very antsy and my friend's husband was getting very tired and grumpy from waiting. In terms of taste, everyone loved their food and my pizza was great. I was very happy with the pizza and would order it again. I would love to try some of the pasta dishes that everyone else ordered, and you know, considering it's an italian restaurant, that burger looked SO good. read more

Better Italian places in the area. Overpriced, especially for the (lack of) ambiance/size of the floor.

Last-minute dinner on a Friday night of a holiday weekend, fully expected a long wait and chaos. Instead: no wait, smooth seating, and genuinely great service. Already winning. We ordered the calamari to start (perfectly crisp, not greasy), split a pizza that was solid and satisfying, and I had a pasta with a white sauce that was rich, comforting, and exactly what I wanted. Everything came out hot, well-paced, and clearly made with care. For a spontaneous plan on one of the busiest nights of the weekend, this was an easy, enjoyable dinner. Consistent food, attentive service, and zero stress. Would absolutely come back, especially knowing they can handle a crowd without dropping the ball. read more

After checking into our hotel, we chose this location for an early dinner with our kiddos. We were seated promptly in this spacious, lovely restaurant. Our server Hans, was simply one of our great highlights of the night because he knew literally everything. My husband, a.k.a. the sauce guy, started making his requests and he chimed in with extra sauces for him to try. There was some kind of a mixup with another table, ordering the wrong appetizer, rather than tossing the grilled bread they gave it to us. We ordered the cacio e pepe pizza which came out missing a slice of pizza due to a kitchen staff mishandling it. They gave us the pizza to get started, but they also gave us a complementary Cacio E Pepe pizza so that we wouldn't be missing a slice. This pizza was better than the first pizza which was good. Their kids' menu was pretty good. My daughter enjoyed her spaghetti. We all enjoyed the Buratta. The salmon dish was so delicious, and something that you can't get anywhere else. We've now been to this location twice and I've had great experiences both times. read more

It's not often I have the opportunity to get outside my Ventura County bubble but North Italia was selected as our work holiday get-together. Ordering off a pre-fixed holiday meal menu, I went with the aranaci small plate to start off. The mixture of the risotto with the pec romano cheese was a great way to start the meal. A few others at the table enjoyed the bruschetta duo and chopped salad but I do think I chose correctly with the arancini. For the main entree I was torn between the chicken parm verde. The spin on the chicken parm with pesto was very enticing but I ended up with the "house specialty" bolognese. The bolognese was a solid dish to go with especially during a lunch. Not too heavy and just the right portion. Service was solid throughout the meal and I was able to park in the structure right across the street. Overall North Italia was a solid choice for our holiday gathering and I'd likely be back. read more

Awful place. Food bad and way overpriced. Service not good. There is zero good to say about this restaurant. Coincidentally my daughter went to South Bay store the same night and felt the same. Do not waste your time and money at this place They brought us butter plates to share our meal and then had us use the same small plates for the bread, the pasta and the pizza. We had enough of the disregard and asked for new plates. They acted like they did not understand why we did not want to use the same small butter plate for the entire meal. No other restaurant except maybe dennys would do that and even they may not They forgot we ordered a pizza with our meal and gave us all kinds of excuses. The pizza finally came and was room temperature as was the pasta. We asked for bread and the bill came and it was $16 There was an issue with the bill that the manager tried to solve but she had no idea what to do so we just left and gave them the extra money as we had enough of the restaurant and the overcharge did not matter at that point read more
