| - I have had mostly wonderful experiences at North Italia. We tried it as soon as it opened, and were blown away by the awesome food, drinks, and service. My husband ordered the filet, and I ordered the short ribs on our first visit. We were both in heaven-- he says it's now his go-to steak in Vegas! (Also, pretty affordable for a filet at $38.) The flavors are great, the portions are perfect, and you really get your money's worth in my opinion on a normal day. I highly recommend the Arancini appetizer as well. Yum!
The one time our experience was less than perfect was on Valentine's Day. They had a pre-fixe menu at $55 per person, offering an appetizer, a main (5 featured entrees from their normal menu) and a dessert. Not bad, especially for the area. However, I ordered scallops and risotto which seemed under cooked. Service was really slow, as well. They also ran out of the desserts so we settled for gelato. I didn't feel like this particular special event was worth it.
Overall, on a normal day of service, I love North Italia but I don't think I would return for one of their pre-fixe events. I could also chalk it up to growing pains, as they only just opened and it was probably their first time doing something like that.
