    Stopped in for lunch after a meeting in cherry creek. Frank and Matt behind the bar are absolute pros at their craft and offer up a high level of hospitality. As my first time in, they went over the food menu with me and offered up suggestions and certain dishes. I ordered the Chicken Parmesan sandwich with an added and recommended spicy sauce. Delicious food, fun bartenders, amazing atmosphere. A must stop if you’re in the area.

    I LOVE everything here! Chicken pesto is my favorite thing to order every single time. We ordered short rib pasta this time and it was too salty for our taste, not sure if it’s always that way. The atmosphere is always great and I love the little details of fresh flowers and candles.

    North Italia is hip, fun, and offers an excellent dining experience. Even though I prefer to support local restaurants over corporate owned, the staff here makes this feel like a neighborhood hang out. The food is excellent, and it is a must try if you are looking for an Italian dining option.

    Great atmosphere and great service. We love coming here for a casual night out. They are always happy to split plates which allows us to try a bunch of things. Can't beat the pizza for a quick lunch after shopping.

    I went yesterday with my husband to celebrate my birthday and the truth is that it was incredible. The attention is very pleasant, the food is delicious and the atmosphere is very nice. Would go again. We took advantage of happy hours at the bar and enjoyed a delicious sangria. recommended .

    5 stars is not enough credit for this food! It was definitely made with lots of love! Even the chicken parmigiana was a heart!!! Thank you for the great food and service! We will be back.

    Came here for my birthday with my wife. The food was absolutely impeccable, highly recommend the white truffle garlic bread and Bolognese. The dessert was to die for. Great drink, bartender poured a very tasty Old Fashioned. Waitress was very knowledgeable and helpful. The table was a little small, but that was the only downside. Highly recommended and will definitely be back.

    North was on a short list of entries for "Italian restaurant near me" in Cherry Creek. It's in a thriving ensemble of restaurants. We arrived early on a Saturday evening with no reservation, but were seated quickly. The noisy crowd was chatty and upbeat with a solid background of contemporary pop hits providing the background. We ordered the Grilled Bread With Good Olive Oil to start. It was large pieces of bread with slightly charred grill marks and a balsamic glaze on a small pool of olive oil. It was really delicious. It was offset by a rather flat dish of Pasta Bolognese. The sauce for this was, unfortunately, rather tasteless. Tossed with large fettuccine noodles, which were perfectly al dente, the sauce just felt tired and lifeless. I was pleasantly surprised to find a really fine, and sometimes hard to find, single malt scotch on the menu, the Lagavulin 16. North has a great wine and cocktail list, and the full bar gets its own star for the Lagavulin. They have Coke products. Parking is an interesting puzzle, but persistence will pay off for a curbside spot.

    I walked passed North Italia the other day and the Garlic Bread stopped me in my tracks that i just had to try it the next day Truly impressed with this Italian restaurant in Cherry Creek i love the lunch time atmosphere and i recommend sitting out in the patio if the weather is lovely The white truffle garlic bread is definitely a must try i will say it could feed about two to three people although if youre on a first date i dont think i can recommend it The spaghetti meatballs although a simple meal is one of those where it rarely impresses you but this one definitely did - from the meatballs itself with its perfect italian seasoning to the spaghetti itself that is al dente with the right amount if bite to ofcourse the fresh tomato sauce that just brings it all together! Definitely loved it here and i recommend it and shout out to Daniel at North Italia!

    One of my favorite restaurants of all time. Fairly authentic Italian. You really can’t go wrong with any dish here. I have had them all (except seafood) and would have them all again. The thing that brings me here directly from the airport- the Salted Caramel Budino. I might give up my first born for it. And I don’t even like dessert. The perfect mix of salty and sweet. They have great Italian red wines. Service is always on point. The ambiance is nice- they do have an outdoor patio if you are so inclined.

    What a nice and hip place. Loved the atmosphere. Friendly staff. Delicious fresh made to order food that is reasonably priced. You can’t go wrong. Please stop in but be prepared for a 1-2 hour wait… it’s worth it though!!

    Amazing vibe! Trendy. Loved the atmosphere. Food was espectacular but I really want to praise our waiter Jeff! He told us the restaurant’s story, how good was made…fresh and with love! He was happy I can tell he loves his job! And the company he works for. I love to eat in places where people who serve are happy because it feels like home!

    Lively restaurant with amazing energy, knowledgeable staff, and good food. The crown jewel of the menu is the White Truffle Garlic Bread. The ricotta is house made and whipped to perfection. It was so amazing, we had to go back the next day and get it again. Highly recommend!

    My first time at North Italia was a bit of a mixed bag. Atmosphere and feel inside the restaurant was great. The service was also good. The food was the mixed bag... The garlic bread was fantastic!! I also had the burrata with butternut squash and walnuts... that was also so good!! I was a little curious how that combination would work but it was so so good! The main courses we had were a little different story. I had the pasta a la vodka which was good but wasn't memorable. We also got the porcetta which was unfortunately not very good. It lacked flavor and was really dry. I want to say that we might have just picked the wrong main courses. I will definitely be back to try one more time cause I think this place has potential to be very good!

    Had the most amazing experience here. The staff was incredible, were happy to be there and gave us the best service. The food was incredible! I got the ricotta french toast and it was one of the best things I’ve ever tasted. My friend was very excited about them having gluten free pasta because it’s hard for her to find it. All around amazing experience and will be going back every time I visit Denver!! 🤎

    My boyfriend and I come here at least once a week. We have tried 98% of the menu already and we have not had a bad meal! All of our dishes come out perfect and the flavors are exquisite. Best Italian food I have ever had. The desserts are best part. I absolutely recommend the wild berry butter cake.

  • 5/5 Alexa S. 1 year ago on Google
    Love the food here. Ordered wild shrimp scampi (the best), crispy calamari (they add arugula and some sauce which makes calamari not crispy any more😄), and prosciutto pizza (with figs and goat cheese - awesome crust too!). Cocktails were okay, did not find the one I would like.

    My son in law recommended this place when we visited earlier this month. It was just as we had heard: top notch fare at an affordable price. Seating was quick (not even a 5 minute wait even with the art fair outdoors!) Spacious, well lit. Friendly wait staff. Relaxed comfortable atmosphere. Shrimp scampi, Chicken Parmesan, and Chicken Pesto. Loved it!~

    If you’re looking for the best pasta and pizza in Denver, then look no further. North Italia has mastered this trait - to offer the best pasta and pizza to everyone in the Denver metro area! Every time I come here, it truly is an amazing and pleasant experience. The service, food, and ambiance were EXCELLENT! I got two dishes - Bolognese and the Breakfast Pizza! Both were amazing! (The breakfast pizza is only offered on Saturday and Sunday.) Parking is the only thing that was a pain! I highly recommend this restaurant!
