    We dinned at the new North last night for our anniversary. The patio is great and the ambiance is perfect. Our server was attentive and helpful when asked about suggestions for drinks and entrees. Food was delicious and good quality. The negatives-they were completely out of Prosecco. This is an Italian restaurant, come on. A quarter of the menus drinks are made with Prosecco so this was very disappointing. I was a server for over a decade. This is unacceptable especially when you have Total Wine down the street. Lastly, they were out of Tiramisu. This was extremely disappointing. The server suggested the butter cake which was okay. Needs ice cream or gelato. It is too dense. The server was unable to find a manager to remove the Tiramisu for over 15 minutes and we continued to sit there and wait to close our check. They should have comped both desserts at that point. Overall, will try again at another time and hopefully they will have worked out some of the kinks.

    Our server Amanda was absolutely amazing. She had a multitude of recommendations and personable. The sangria was 10/10. We had the Cacio y Pepe Arancini which was really good, a little salty but that comes with the type I believe. I had a pizza and it was overly seasoned to where it wasn’t that great. The half chicken was really good. Everything was relatively quick and came out hot and fresh.

    We dined at the Tempe location on a Tuesday evening. The food was very good, although I am no expert on what "northern Italian" is supposed to be. The wine list had a very good Italian representation, amongst decent non-Italian options. The only two downsides - our server spilled a drink on one of us and didn't appear to regard that as a big deal, and parking can be problematic. Parking garage highly recommended unless you are OK with valet parking. We aren't likely to visit this location again.
