Last minute dinner reservations for a Sunday dinner was easy to book over the phone. Within 20 minutes from reserving a table to showing up we were seated. The waiter/waitress service was on point! Our table really didn't need anything but they regularly stopped to check in on us. The food was quick to the table and very delicious. We did order the grilled bread once the entree was brought out. I wasn't the biggest fan of the bread. It was more like a crouton but that is my opinion. Overall the experience was pleasant and will recommend this place to anyone.

The restaurant’s vibe is unique. Food is good but the service is not really well as I expect. First time I try the Italian food, the Squid Ink and Calamari are on point. I love the way they decorate the food on dish. Will back !!

Stopped in for an early dinner around 4 PM and only had about a 10 minute wait which is good because it gets really busy here.
I had a couple of folks with me that hadn't been here before so I took the liberty of ordering appetizers. They also had a nice refreshing Tequila cocktail on special which I also took advantage of. For a main, I wanted to try their Squid Ink Malfadine with squid and shrimp and it was delicious. The portions here, in my opinion, are just right and we all left full and satisfied.
The customer service was great, as always, and I look forward to my next visit.

Gorgeous place to eat during the week. A bit packed on the weekends but can still snag a table within 20-30 minutes. The food is delicious in person and food delivery.
I definitely recommend the white truffle garlic bread and make sure you request a side of marinara. There are many entree options, the spicy Italian is wonderful. I personally request extra raw onions for even more taste. The chicken parm can be requested grilled as well. Desserts are very nice too.

Visited for the first time yesterday. Wow! I do not know why it took me so long to eat there. This place serves up the best Italian in Houston in my opinion.
The food and service were both on point. Never had to ask for anything, and level of service was much better than we normally receive in Houston restaurants.
Atmosphere is upbeat and relaxing. Love the large tables and very comfortable chairs.
Definitely will be back the next time we want Italian.
Bolognese Pasta was the favorite entree for my group, but we enjoyed all the food that was served. Caesar Salad was one of the best ever, great, great dressing.
Great Job!

Went for my birthday and it was great! The vibes, atmosphere, the wine, and oh my goodness the pesto pasta was to die for! We had an amazing waitress that was very helpful with painting a picture in our minds of how the dish looked, and even brought out a tiny sampling cup of sauce for me to see if I’d enjoy it! All ingredients are fresh and made from scratch (my favorite part). It was a bit tight but it wasn’t unbearable . I’m definitely going back!

We stopped in for a late dinner on a Monday night thinking it would be a more quiet and less busy time for them…it was not. We ended sitting at the bar because of the wait for the main dining area. Found out from our bartender/server Ray that there’s a 1/2 off all bottles special on Mondays and that’s why it’s usually just as packed. Even with that being the case, we still loved our dinner. Ray was great and attentive throughout. The Caesar Salad we shared was a great combo of fresh and crunchy, with a tasty dressing as well. The main dishes were both fantastic and gave us the hearty and filling combo we were looking for. The Chicken Parmesan was spot on, including the creamy pasta on the side. The Bolognese was the best part of the meal as asking for it to be made spicy pushed it over the top. They added the perfect amount of heat to what was already clearly going to be a tasty dish. Between the dynamite food and Ray’s friendly service, I’m definitely excited to be back.

This is my favorite Italian restaurant in Houston. I recommend this spot for a birthday, date night, lunch with the girls, etc. Nonetheless I do recommend reservations as the turnaround of tables is not fast pace. Everything I’ve ordered in the past and now is always consistent. Tried their new dish, Spicy Rigatoni Vodka, 10/10. Love the atmosphere, wish they had more locations.

Delicious! Authentic! 5 Stars! My wife and I tried this place out as we are in Houston for an Anniversary Trip and this restaurant did not disappoint. Very very delicious Italian food all around from the appetizers to the desserts. Very friendly and attentive staff. The Garlic Bread that the waiter recommended was truly amazing. My wife ordered the a Shrimp Alfredo (isn’t on the menu) however they were able to make it to perfection. I chose the Tuscan Half Chicken! The chicken was so juicy and full of flavor! Every bite was like trying it again for the first time. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone.

Spectacular experience to say the least. North Italia is filled with some delicious appetizers, entrees and deserts. Located in a very nice part of Houston, it’s decorated quite nicely with a great trendy ambiance inside. Will definitely be back!
