North Italia draws consistent praise for its fresh pasta dishes—particularly the braised short rib lumache—along with appetizers like white truffle garlic bread and a rotating dessert selection. The bar area offers a place to wait without a reservation, and reviewers note the service tends to be attentive and well-paced.
One reviewer says...
“I think what this restaurant has going in the reviews is a herd mentality in negativity. I’ve been to far worse restaurants with higher ratings….
All that to say, we had a lovely dinner tonight! We ordered the white truffle garlic bread, braised short rib lumache, crushed meatball ragu and tiramisu.
The bread - divine. We were left scraping bits off the bottom of the plate.
The short rib lumache - delectable. I truly don’t know why people are complaining about portion sizes? We had enough to take home for leftovers.
Crushed meatball ragu - good. I prefer the short rib.
Tiramisu - 8/10!
Our waitress did her best & it did take a while for the food to come out but I don’t mind waiting when I’m at a sit down restaurant especially when the food is delicious.
My only suggestion, which is completely personal, is to change the music to some jazz or Frank Sinatra, solely for the vibes :)
North Italia, thank you for coming to Idaho! We will be back ❤️”
