Nice restaurant with great ambience. Highly recommend for date nights. The sweet tony pizza wasn’t particularly my cup of tea, but the calamari and shrimp risotto were excellent! One thing I do wish was that the water was chilled as it was room temperature.

We celebrated our anniversary here for the first time and had a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was lovely with all black décor, and the homemade pasta, focaccia bread, and tiramisu were all delicious. All three of us enjoyed our meals. We will definitely be back!

For the ultimate experience at North & Navy, request a seat at the kitchen counter to watch the chefs work their magic. The service is impeccably attentive, with a knowledgeable team that communicates the menu with true passion. The meal itself is phenomenal: the vitello tonnato is a must-try starter, and the pasta dishes are masterclasses in authentic Italian flavor and execution. Vibrant, delicious, and effortlessly hospitable

    Every dish we ordered was both delicious and beautifully plated. The potatoes were phenomenal - crunchy exterior with a fluffy interior!

    Had an amazing birthday dinner! Travelled from out of town for the weekend and had to try the tableside cheese wheel pasta. It was even better than I had imagined! Ended the meal with the pecorino cheesecake which was absolutely delicious! Very nice atmosphere and excellent service…I only wish I lived closer, as I would be going there all the time! Highly recommend!
