Great weekday lunch special! The arancini were perfectly crispy, and the sauce was delicious on both them and the meatballs. Ravioli was interesting with very thin pasta sheets, didn’t feel like it soaked up the sauce well and was a tad watery. Overall decent food for the prices. Nice patio seating to dine al fresco and people watch.

A good restaurant to visit and good Italian food, there are good options with a good selection of wines and dinks. Food was great and even though it was busy the service was good. Plenty of seats but you might encounter a bit of wait during dinner. When is busy if you prefer a quiet place seat outside and if you don’t mind a bit of a loud atmosphere then you will be fine eating inside.

We had a really nice lunch at North Italia on N Scottsdale Rd and left impressed. It was one of those rainy, chilly “winter” Arizona afternoons where you question sitting outside, but the patio heaters made it surprisingly comfortable. Once we were settled in, it turned into a perfect spot to relax and enjoy our meal.
We ordered the chicken soup, crispy brussels sprouts, and the margarita pizza. Everything was genuinely delicious. The chicken soup was hearty and flavorful, it was the kind that actually feels homemade, not watered down or runny. The brussels sprouts were a standout. They had this great tangy flavor that balanced perfectly with the crispiness. And the margarita pizza was exceptional. The crust was just right, crispy on the outside, soft inside, & not too heavy. You can tell they care about quality ingredients here.
Our waitress was very attentive and helpful without hovering. She checked in at the right times and made the experience smooth.
The only small hiccup was when we first walked in. There were two hostesses who seemed a little surprised that we didn’t have a reservation. It felt slightly awkward at first, even though there were open patio tables and they did seat us. Not a huge deal, just a first impression thing, that wasn’t the greatest.
Overall, though, the food absolutely makes this place worth it. We’ll definitely be back.

Exceptional Dining Experience — Twice in 12 Hours!
I had the opportunity to visit North Italia twice in less than 12 hours — once for dinner with clients, and then again the next day for lunch with another group. What can I say? The hospitality, food, and service were absolutely top-notch both times!
The kitchen was impressively fast, the staff knew exactly who ordered what, and the teamwork among the servers was seamless. Every dish was bursting with flavor, beautifully presented, and cooked to perfection.
I truly wish I had taken more photos to capture the experience, but honestly, we were too busy enjoying the food! Loved every bit of both visits. Highly recommend North Italia — they’ve mastered the art of delivering consistency, quality, and genuine hospitality.

Our go-to local favorite, we practically go weekly, everything on the menu is delicious and never disappoints! We had the crispy eggplant Parmesan, white truffle garlic bread, simple salad, chicken Parmesan and the strozzapreti, and for dessert we had the salted caramel budino. Delicious!

Delicious Italian fare. I loved the pizza it had a unique combination between crispy crust and authentic Italian ingredients. I highly recommend it as well as the pasta. The menu is the appropriate size so I don’t think you can order a bad meal here. Bonus points for an awesome kids spaghetti.

North Italia Scottsdale, espeically this time of the year, feels a lot like a slice of summer with all their fresh ingredients! Visited for a late lunch and pulled up a seat at the bar…of course, I always this is a great choice when you want the inside scoop and excellent service. It’s just easy!
Steven C. was our bartender and let me tell you, he was fantastic. Funny, attentive, and he listened before recommending anything (how refreshing is that?). He asked great questions about our tastes and what we were looking for and then offered thoughtful suggestions. It was clear he knows his stuff.
Started with two perfect-for-summer cocktails and a new favorite for me…the Ciao, Bella! This summer cocktail is light, peachy, and combines vanilla-infused vodka and a pop of brut rosé. Bonus? Just 230 calories, which makes it basically a health drink, right?
Also enjoyed a mojito which is often a go to choice and North Italia’s version and was tart, minty, crisp, and so refreshing it made us forget (briefly) that it was 110° outside. Ugh! Is it November yet!
Then we enjoyed the Margherita pizza. Loved the crust which is the right balance of crispy and fluffy, easy to hold, and perfect to bite into without collapsing. Fresh mozzarella, red sauce, and plenty of fresh basil (not that sad single leaf some places give you). It was simple, classic, and really well-executed. I will definitely choose this pizza again!
Now for the fun part…these are some of the fun facts you learn sitting at the bar and enjoying conversations! We learned that Scottsdale was the very first North Italia location — and it’s often a training hub for the whole brand. Love that! Even better, their bartenders compete every summer in a friendly cocktail showdown, and guess what? Scottsdale has produced three national winners, including this year’s — who created a drink called Watermelon Sugar (yes, inspired by the Harry Styles anthem playing in your head now). I’m just saying… North Italia, if you’re reading this, I volunteer to come back and try that drink when the new drink menu launches.
Corporate concept or not, this North Italia still feels local and special and the team really brings it. Well done, Scottsdale. Well done!

I had an absolutely outstanding experience at North Italia in Kierland Scottsdale. We ordered a variety of dishes and everything was spot on. The calamari was delicious and the white truffle garlic bread was unfreaking unbelievable. It was by far the highlight of the night. I could go back just for that.
My chicken parm was excellent and everyone in our group loved their meals. Some ordered scallops, others had pizza, and every single person raved about their dish. We also tried the prosciutto bruschetta, which was really good, and the Caesar salad was also good.
The cocktails were well made, the cocktail menu had great options, and the overall vibes were just enjoyable from start to finish. Friendly atmosphere, great energy, and consistently great food.
Highly recommend North Italia, especially the white truffle garlic bread and the chicken parm. It was an excellent experience all around.

I came here as Thee One and Only for my monthly date with Me, Myself & I — and let me tell you, North Italia did NOT disappoint.
Damien, my server, was absolutely incredible. Attentive, charming, and spot-on with his recommendations (and yes, ladies, also very easy on the eyes ).
Started the night with my go-to dinner wine, a glass of Pinot Noir, and then dove into the tortelloni al pomodoro with pancetta added — chef’s kiss perfection. For my nightcap, I ordered an Old Fashioned. Now, I’m picky about my Old Fashioneds, but this one? Smooth, balanced, and absolutely flawless.
And just when I thought the night couldn’t get any better, I was surprised with the hazelnut torta for dessert. Sweet, decadent, and the perfect finale to an already amazing night.
Hands down, some of the best customer service I’ve had in a long time and a night worth repeating. North Italia — you officially made my Me Date feel like a VIP event. ✨

The Bolonese was much too salty here. The service is incredibly slow eventho there was hardly anyone there. Switched it for the one with vodka marinara, not much better. A lot less salt and attentive servers would be nice.
