    My partner and I ordered the Fennel salad special was amazing hope they include for a regular. We both ordered the Carbonara and it was the best I’ve ever had before!! Would definitely order again. Being an interior designer just wish they would do more in the dining area on the walls. Just seems so bland and unexciting. I could definitely see some black and white large photos of Italy and perhaps the family. Some free advice lol!

    Our waiter Sean was great. We started with umami rockefeller oysters (best ever!) and the ahi tuna which was excellent. Then the bolognese pasta - 10 out of 10! We then shared sea bass, pureed potatoes and broccolini - so good! Went down to the speakeasy after dinner - very fun. This is a true fine dining experience and not a rushed pace. Plan to take your time and enjoy the evening. Highly recommend the Americano!!

    Our food was delicious and Owen our server did not miss a thing. One of the best experiences I have had at North Italia – Kierland Commons! I enjoyed the meatballs as an appetizer and the arugula & avocado salad with heirloom beets added. My guest enjoyed 2 bowls of the soup of the day and a caesar salad. As great as the food was, Owen's professionalism and attention to detail was the icing on the cake!
