Wine bar

👍👍 Fabulous new hot spot on Montana. Was very impressed by the details and the vibes. Felt like I was time warped to a cafe in Italy. The ingredients taste very authentic. Quaint Italian market. I am looking forward to buying their imported products and making Italian food at home.

North Italia

Italian restaurant

👍👍 Absolutely delicious!! Tried Prosciutto and Cacio E Pepe ( half and half) Pizza. I really love the Prosciutto part. My friends tried chicken pesto pasta, braised short rib lumache, half and half pizza of Funghi/spicy mealball oizza It was a little bit on the pricey side, but it is totally worth it....
