Came for lunch today, as it is my new tradition to try a new restaurant every Monday. It helps ease the transition between the weekend and the work week. That being said, with only an hour to spare (including travel time) I come prepared with my exact order. The only reason I am giving North Italia a 4 star and not a 5 star is because I really wanted to try their Burrata appetizer (I'm OBSESSED with burrata) only to be told it was sold out. :( So sad...especially since it was just after 12pm. And because my mind was already made, I struggled to decide on my new order. I ended up getting the strozzapreti pasta which was very flavorful and came with lots of chicken, mushrooms, toasted pine nuts (it could have used a tiny bit more spinach for this veggie loving girl). A side note to anyone reading this though..the leftovers do not heat up very well, try to finish it at the restaurant.
Now all that being said....the staff was WONDERFUL. Absolutely spectacular. So very tentative and I actually didn't feel like I was dining along. When you go, ask the bartender to tell you his scarecrow joke...hilarious. I may have already posted it on Facebook. A big bravo to all of you...I'll be back, hopefully for some buratta (and that truffle garlic bread).
