This place for a corporate chain is way above that “Garden” place!
The short ribs were so tender a knife was not necessary. And seasoned to perfection. The shrimp was also a taste delight. For desert the tiramisu was a nice way to end the meal.
Our waiter and the staff were efficient as I’ve seen in more upscale places.
The interior of the restaurant is all flat walls and stone floors. The noise was unbearable. We were yelling just to hear each other. We were moved outside where the atmosphere was much better but very cold.
Food was amazing and so was the service.
Always such a great time at the North Italia at La Encantada. This one is particularly my favorite since the staff are always very friendly, and service is just 10/10. The food is always great here, especially the Strozzapreti. Just an amazing restaurant to spend the evening, always a great place to go to.
Indulge your epicurean senses as I recount my recent encounter at this illustrious dining establishment. My discerning palate led me to embark upon a culinary exploration, commencing with the ethereal creation known as the white truffle garlic bread. Anticipate an epiphany of voluminous proportions, for this bread transcends ordinary expectations, exceeding them manifold by extending its reach to satiate not one, but a convivial gathering of six souls. Truly, the munificent portions bestowed upon me were a testament to the magnanimity of this establishment.
Next, I embarked upon a gastronomic journey of unparalleled grandeur with the braised short rib as my guide. Prepare to surrender to the ethereal tenderness that only a fork can elicit from such succulent meat. Each morsel, a symphony of flavor, danced upon my tongue, while the accompanying embellishments upon the plate harmonized beautifully to complete this opus of taste. It would be remiss of me not to mention the affable service, a deserving companion to the culinary delights that graced my table.
In conclusion, this establishment has proven its mettle, both in terms of the culinary prowess displayed and the impeccable service rendered. Our palates have been captivated, and we eagerly anticipate a future rendezvous with these gastronomic marvels that shall surely continue to enthrall our refined sensibilities.
One of the best, most respectful places we've ever been for how they treat differently abled people! They were very accommodating and seated our group of 4 so that we were all comfortable. The server was kind, smiling, attentive. Food was really good, from butternut squash ravioli to steak to cocktails and crazy good desserts. Just wow, wow, wow!
That, and easy parking in the big lot nearby. And spacious, airy surroundings. Just loved it!
Excellent food. Flavorful and filling. Friendly and fast wait staff. Definitely going again!
We had a great meal here ! We had dinner reservations at 4:30 lol because we like to eat early and is place is open all day🎉 the room is large but not too noisy and all the staff were very nice and accommodating. The food was great! We had calamari and eggplant Parmesan for apps. The eggplant was to die for. We had the short rib entree and the strosapretti pasta. Both were excellent! For dessert we had the little benet balls🎉 I forgot to take a photo of the dessert menu but they were amazing !
I absolutely love meeting my friends here on the patio. They are welcoming to our well behaved dogs. The mussels I had were awesome! I also love the iced tea ❤️ my friends happen to like the wine and other small plates ❤️
Had lunch and was wonderful, the team seemed to enjoy it as well. Loved the atmosphere and the vibe, very casual but still felt luxurious.
After some hours of shopping stopped in for appetizers and drinks. Sat at the bar. Service was quick. Was impressed with the atmosphere and quality of food. The mussels were superb. Could’ve sipped the broth staight from the bowl. It was so flavorful!
We had a wonderful dinner with outstanding service. We will be back, soon.
The food is great but it’s tiramisu needs some improvement that it barely has cake in it but sweet creams. Its kale salad and pasta are great. It’s more quiet at the patio, kind too loud indoor.
I started working for Sam Fox when we opened up Bistro Zin back in the day, and have always believed FCR to be far superior than any other “chain” restaurants. North, like any of the other family of restaurants, never fails to deliver superb food and excellent service. Food items were a bit limited tonight because the shop was closed for Christmas Day and they were unable to prep some things, and that is understandable. There was a wait to get our food, but that comes with the territory when you’re getting freshly made food. Enjoy the atmosphere, grab an appetizer and along with amazing entrees and to die for desserts, experience yourself a wonderful Italian meal.
Food was a 10/10! We got the crispy eggplant lasagna, braised short rib and salmon. The braised short rib was amazing!
7/10 on ambiance! It’s an open environment so you hear all the hustle and bustle from the kitchen but either way we would come back for the food!
What a Fantastic place to eat. I have the Chicken Pesto and my Wife had the Chicken Parmigiana. Both were so tasty and the Service was fantastic. Oh ya, the Italian donuts were fantastic for dessert.
