North Italia

"This was our fourth visit to North Italia and the quality was consistent every visit. This time we had the margarita pizza and shrimp scampi which were both great. My husband was so excited to have the mushroom risotto again but it was only available during dinner. Our bartender went out of his way to put it in as a special request and they delivered. Great service, great dining experience."

"I came here for a date night with my significant other to celebrate my birthday and had a fantastic time. We had an amazing server, Austin (who also goes by Rigatoni Austin Lol!) and he was attentive, kind, funny and knowledgeable. Austin gave us great menu and drink suggestions and needless to say, it was difficult to stop eating! Everything was absolutely delicious and looked fantastic. I couldn’t recommend North Italia enough for a chill evening out."

"North Italia is by far one of the very best restaurants in Orlando, and it’s not even close! The level of service, quality of food, and atmosphere this place provides is truly one-of-a-kind. This is NOT your standard Italian restaurant - they have unique dishes you don’t find anywhere else! They have a wide range of pastas, pizzas, salads (all of which, amazing selections), incredible appetizers, top-notch entrees and desserts, and wonderful drinks! They also have an extensive list of gluten-free options, so this restaurant has something for everyone. All of the food in my pictures is gluten-free, if you can believe it! My new favorite Italian restaurant!!! I want to give a very special nod to our waiter - Marcus W. - for giving us wonderful service this evening. My fiancée is gluten-intolerant, and he far surpassed what most restaurants do for us. He walked us through the entire menu and told us each and every dish that was either gluten-free or could be easily modified, and it was awesome. He really walked us through the menu well and helped us create the ultimate meal! To top it off, he even brought us a complimentary cup of their soup of the day, and I can’t even BEGIN to describe how good it was!! It was a butternut squash soup with celery, fennel, garlic, vinegar, nutmeg, and a bunch of other spices, and it was one of the best soups I’ve ever had. We also tried two zero-proof cocktails: pomegranate mule and la dolce vita - both incredible and highly recommended. We got the beef carpaccio, burrata di stagione, and wild shrimp scampi for appetizers - they were all beyond amazing! Everything was so fresh and flavorful, hitting all the right notes, and I would recommend all of them as starters. For our entrees, we got the braised short rib lumache and spicy rigatoni vodka. They both were also INSANELY good - some of the best pasta dishes we ever had. The braised short rib lumache was quite light and a perfect shareable pasta, and the spicy rigatoni vodka was a nice, spicy and rich pasta with a creamy red sauce. They complement each other well!! All in all, this was an incredible dining experience because of the wonderful food and amazing service. Again, Marcus W. was awesome - massive thanks to him!! Many restaurants get one of those two things (food or service) right, but North Italia does them both. If you’re looking for a perfect place for a date night, look no further! We will be coming back here MANY more times!!! EDIT: We have since come back and tried many more things off the menu. Everything is wonderful! The white truffle garlic bread is WITHOUT question a MUST TRY. Best garlic bread I’ve ever had. And everything else - from the chicken parmesan, burrata di stagione, grilled branzino, and braised short rib to gluten-free The Pig pizza and gluten-free chicken pesto pasta, to even the tiramisu, dark chocolate torta, and pistachio gelato, you just can’t get better than this! I love this place so much!!"

"I recently had lunch at North Italia with my family, and I was thoroughly impressed with their exceptional service. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our dietary preferences, showcasing their commitment to customer satisfaction. The willingness to adjust menu options made our dining experience truly enjoyable, and the delicious dishes only added to the overall positive impression. I highly recommend North Italia for both their delectable cuisine and outstanding customer service."

"(4.7 rating) The atmosphere is a whole vibe. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. My niece recommended the garlic bread, and the hype is real. So garlicky and cheesy delicious! We were a group of 11 or 12, a variety of things were ordered for dinner, and all were on point. I had the Italian Farm salad, and it delivered. My husband ordered pasta - the bolognese and devoured it. However, bar service was frustratingly slow and felt a little unorganized. It could have been the waiter or the bar, but I'm not sure. But all in all, dinner was great and we enjoyed our experience."
