“ My friend and myself met here for lunch today. What a great experience as there was no wait and the host found us a table without being sat at the high top. I have only been to the one uptown and my friend has never visited, so we were trying to watch all the delicious food go past us to see what we wanted . We settled on the bread with garlic and cheese, she got Lasagna and I got the eggplant parm with noodles. Wow, everything really tasted delicious. We each took 1/2 of our lunch home as the plates are big. I will say it was 49 with tip just for myself, so this restaurant is not an everyday lunch place. If you want to treat yourself, this is the place to go. We’ll be visiting again. ”

“ Okay, Jamie was our waitress and was the BEST! Had the best recommendations and really helped us out with the menu since it was our first time here! The food was SO GOOD. I’m not even an Italian food fan, and I would come back here in a heartbeat because that’s how good the food was. The beef carpaccio was out of this world. I could eat it every night for the rest of my life and never get bored of it. We also got the hot honey pizza which was spectacular and the white lasagna with short rib and it has be drooling. ”

“ We had a big lunch party for cousin’s graduation here. Brought the whole family along! I had the salmon with the vegetable noodles (HIGHLY recommend BTW). Grandma had eggplant parm and she said it was the best eggplant she’s ever had in her life! Great meal. Wish I remembered the waitresses name. ”

“ Food is excellent, menu covers all the bases. Good wine and cocktail selection. It’s VERY noisy and crazy busy, but did not ruin the experience. The burrata looked super but we went w arancini and were very pleased. Vodka rigatoni was delicious ”

“ Visited for lunch today and it was a great experience. The lunch menu included unique breakfast items, pizzas, salads and entrees. The Caesar salad with chicken was good, but the chicken was served cold. The spicy meatball pizza was delicious and very filling. Seating is comfortable and there is a quieter area in the back which was too dark for us, so we moved. The wine list had a wide selection of northern Italian vino and I was impressed with several. Prices for full bottles was very reasonable. They also had a Marchesi di Gresy which is difficult to find and well worth. Can't wait to come back for dinner and do a thorough review on the wines. ”

“ This was SO good!!! I didn’t have any expectations as I know Italian can be hit or miss. But this did not miss!! The vibes inside were so cute, and I loved the music they played. We started with their truffle bread and ricotta, I will be fantasizing about it again until I can go back for it! I also had the chicken parm and the noodles they way suggested on the menu, SO GOOD. I was slightly hesitant as I normally have red sauce and spaghetti with chicken parm, but their rigatoni and cream parm sauce was so delicious. The cutlet was cooked to perfection and I can’t wait to also get that when we go back!! The server was beyond kind and helped offer good suggestions! I also really appreciated the amount of times we were checked in on. It made us feel not forgotten considering it was pretty busy in there! I also did have one of the mock tails and it truly was one of the best I’ve had. It wasn’t just some drowned out in ginger beer drink that most menus offer. The black cherry and lemonade mix was delicious. I would drink it by the pool, and plan to this summer now!! We can’t wait to come back again! ”

“ I had the pleasure of dining at this incredible Italian restaurant, and I can honestly say it exceeded all expectations. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy, inviting atmosphere that made us feel right at home. I ordered the smoked salmon, which was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection the garlic truffle bread was delicious and the pasta was definitely homemade! If you are in the mood for pizza, well that is also a good choice that you will not regret (: we ordered the margarita pizza and of course, it was delicious! Hands down to the Chefs! Our server was amazing! ”

“ We love the vibe at the new “Bowl at Ballantyne” and we look forward to watching it grow. North Italia, one of several new restaurants, was impressive. We enjoyed the great food, beautiful decor, and attentive service. I recommend the squid ink tonnarelli. My wife thought the bolognese was also good. A solid spot for fresh Italian cuisine in an inviting atmosphere. ”
