Pizzicata Carefree looks absolutely beautiful after its remodeling! The refreshed space feels warm, welcoming, and full of character, and the new staff is absolutely fantastic—friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The food is wonderful, too. The Pinsa Romana is light and airy with a deliciously crisp crust, and the homemade ravioli filled with crab are a must-try. The lamb chops are delicious and cooked beautifully. A fantastic dining experience from start to finish—I can’t wait to come back!

We had a wonderful experience and delicious food. I highly enjoyed the lasagna on their new menu. My wife ordered the steak frites and she could cut the prime strip loin with a butter knife. Perfectly seasoned and cooked. Our server was fantastic, the patio ambience was second to none and the food was out of this world. Definitely put this on your list.

Were able to sit outside on a perfect evening. Our server(Leila?) was great, as was the food. Delicious, generous portions. The focaccia with pesto was wonderful, as was the burrata gnocchi.

    Wonderful!!! Food was delicious - had the artichokes - lemon piccata chicken - cauliflower and gemelli pasta and plaza salad!! All were 5 star. The best finisher was the cheesecake. I don’t know how they made that cheese cake so delicious. A must have for sure!!!

    Our meal at North Italia was one of the best dinners we’ve had. My wife had the chicken piccata which she loved with every bite; I had the Sunday lasagna and every bite was extremely tasty. Service was timely and professional. We will return.
