    We always enjoy North as they are always consistent. This time around they did not deliver on their funghi pizza. It was very disappointing. I did not expect them to be so cavalier with their toppings. There was hardly any on the pizza, the smoked mozza was sparse and the truffle oil was not noticeable. We bragged to our friends about the taste before we went, but they were also disappointed. Every dish needs to come out of the kitchen with care no matter how busy the restaurant. Tasted more like bread than pizza.

    Crispy chicken piccata was a unique version of chicken piccata and I loved it! My husband had the Bolognese and he loved it! My son had the Agnolotti with short rib meat in it - he said the pasta content vs the meat was too little. I gave him some of my pasta to balance his pasta/meat ingredients. We shared the asparagus and only ate about 1/2 of it because they were tough/stringy.

    I go to North often enough to know that tonight's service was an anomaly. The food is great, and the service is great, but tonight our server had a big table, and service struggled. I will be back, though. I still love going there.

    We stopped by for a late lunch, hoping to have a couple of our favorite items, but they had just done a menu change… We each started out with a cocktail. I have the Pear Pressure Martini, and my friend had the Carillijo espresso martini which was served on the rocks and was fantastic! It was a double espresso, licor 43, caffè borghetti, and hazelnut. This had to be the best espresso martini I ever had. In regards to the food, I was very disappointed that they decided to get rid of their boards with the meats and cheeses. I do not eat gluten and they always sub the gluten-free pizza dough instead of the bread so I could enjoy it like everybody else. They also changed up the prosciutto pizza which we’ve always loved… It used to have goat cheese and we would switch it out for fresh ricotta and that was amazing and they didn’t have that pizza either. Our server was Cullen, and he was very attentive and made great suggestions on the cocktails which we really appreciated Overall, a great experience with the exception of missing a few of our favorite items.

    Usually I have a 5star for North - and have for years. We were there last evening and the rain started - we asked to be moved indoors and the server was rather dismissive. I had drops coming straight down on my head and the other party had rain coming down on her back - by the time we were done - our seat cushions were soaked as was my head and her back/backside. There were plenty of tables inside. She offered to move us to a different outdoor table- not sure how that would have helped. Food was fine - again, cooled off quickly with Mother Nature (not your fault) but it would have been nice to have been taken seriously. We did see others move in at other times even after we asked from other areas/other servers.
