North Italia 7055 Friars Road, San Diego, CA 92108

"First of all, im going to use some strong language so please be advised. The food, fu**ing delicious. To start we had the White truffle garlic bread, and Wild Shrimp Scampi. The bread and easy 8/10 in my humble opinion, but the shrimp? Wooooof! Delicious! 9.9/10 and the only reason why is because there wasn’t more to enjoy. For our drinks, I had the “hazy ipa” which was great and my Wife enjoyed the Pomegranate Mule, which she said was excellent. She had 3 and I had 3 plus a version of “Green Tea Shot” which we love and was fantastic! For our dinner, I had the house specialty, my wife the chicken parmesan, and my kids the Shrimp Alfredo (off menu). Everything was splendid. Shrimp was fresh, chicken perfect and sauces were off the charts. Lastly, our waiter. Dear Thomas. You were amazing, Sir. Very polite, very knowledgeable, extremely helpful, and top of the line in service. Funny enough we were deciding between this and Cheesecake Factory, and we’re absolutely delighted we chose this. Continue this amazing service Thomas, and thanks for the incredible food North Italia. We are visiting from Phoenix and glad we ate here, looking forward to coming back."

"Great experience, very clean and pleasant environment. Wasn’t too busy but well organized. The waiter was great, very attentive and professional. Food was great, loved it, definitely will come back"

"The food was delicious! Our first waiter was awesome. Our second waiter was cool. Unfortunately, there was a patron that was an absolute drama queen that took away from our experience and seemed to take away from others as well. The staff did try and keep her happy, although I don't think that would've been possible. Luckily, she did leave and were able to finally enjoy or delicious meal and drinks. I will come back !"

"I am a big time fan of North Italia. Their grilled bread and meatballs are delicious. I personally had the braided short rib pasta and the first time I had it, it brought a tear to my eye. It is the kind of dish you will come to a restaurant just to eat it. I paired it with an alcohol free pomegranate cocktail. I have to say that we had to wait an hour for our main courses. We have never experienced a wait like this at any North Italia restaurant and they did give us free dessert and made our appetizer free of charge. They apologized profusely and I would consider this a 5 star experience and service. I would highly recommend North Italia to anyone wanting a nice dinner."

"Really cute spot to hang out with friends and have brunch. I love that you can order breakfast or lunch. The Chicken Caesar salad that we ordered was delicious and the Bolognese was very tasty!"
