    Our first time there today, and it's now our new FAVORTIE restaurant in the East Bay!! Everything was outstanding, from the time we walked in the door to a cheerful and friendly welcome, to our wonderful waiter, Eddie, who gave us the best recommendations, to the oh-so-delicious food!! I'd decided to treat my husband to a nice lunch, since we'd cancelled our Half Moon Bay golf outing today due to weather. Husband's verdict: EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS (My verdict: SAME!!!) Appetizer: Carpaccio Cocktail: Delicious, strong, can't remember the name, but I do recommend their drinks! Entrees: Outstanding and oh-so-tasty! Wine: Chimney Rock Cabernet Sauvignon -- highly reccomend and went beautifully with our entrees. Dessert: Salted Carmel Budino -- oh my -- my new favorite dessert, even more so than tiramisu, imagine something so wonderful! Finished off with Cappucino for me, Doppio Espresso for the Little Man....lol...What a thoroughly enjoyable meal from beginning to end. We'll be back for sure and bringing friends with us next time!!! So glad we discovered North Italia, you will be too!

    There were 9 of us and we got seated in a round table booth, it was perfect. The food was amazing, the service outstanding and the entire experience was better than I ever dreamed. I wanted to take my family out for my birthday and not argue over the bill so I asked the front desk to run it for me add 20% gratuity and I’d sign on my way out. They did exactly as I asked and I was able leave a bigger tip without my family ever knowing what went on. Such great service, hats off to Salma, she was our server and delightful. Also the corkage fee was reasonable which I really appreciated. The best time!
