BEWARE! I ordered a gluten free pizza from them to be delivered and called to confirm it would be GF before even placing my order. When the pizza arrived I suspected it looked too good to be true. I called again and they said "oh we actually ran out of the gluten free crust". They clearly do NOT understand the severity of allergens and offered no compensation for the lie/mistake. I can’t speak for their dine in experience, but I can’t imagine why they would think it was okay to do that. I wish they had been honest about being out of the crust during my first phone call and I would have ordered elsewhere.

always used to come here before my diagnosis and was hesitant to go back now being gf- but the server was absolutely AMAZING. He assured me he would write celiac on my order and said they prep in a clean pan and everything. Someone brought out my food separately and made sure to say it was gf! They even adjusted the Beef Carpaccio app for me (brought me gf bread) & my main was the seasonal vegetable salad w/ Salmon! Overall: safe & so accommodating ☺

Beautiful, airy restaurant downtown. Excellent service. I had the GF Chicken Strozzapreti; they made it with GF penne noodles. Sooo good. I am very sensitive to gluten but I cleaned my plate and have had no ill side effects. This chef knew what s/he was doing Ala GF. (Unfortunately I do feel slightly sick at a lot of restaurants, but I didn't feel sick after eating here.) Thank you, North Italia, for an amazing GF meal!

Was hesitant to try it, but planned a client dinner. The staff was amazing. Offered the items on the menu that were gf or could be adjusted to be gf. Had the salmon w pesto and veggies, side salad, top notch bruschetta and a chocolate salted caramel pudding. Food was so good

This might be the best gf pizza I have had. The crust was light and crispy. It seemed to be the size of a normal pizza which was appreciated.

Delicious! And creative! Like another comment, I wanted the truffle bread, but gluten free, and they used their GF pizza crust to replicate the dish for me. By far the best GF pizza I've ever had! It's thicker and softer than places like Blaze and Mod and Maddio's. All pasta options on the menu are offered GF, and they'll try to find a way to make other menu items GF if requested. Have already been back! Definitely a new favorite.

I go to this restaurant often with my job and family and order the same safe meal. I always tell the waitress about my allergies. But this time I was glutened. Hoping this is an isolated incident because it’s one of my favorite places to eat. But also afraid to try it again because the pain isn’t worth it.

I had one of the best meals I’ve experienced since having to go GF! They have GF pasta and I honestly couldn’t tell the difference. Would recommend and would go again for sure.

Had options for GF pasta and pizza. There was 3 of us all that were gluten free with different sensitivities. By half way through I could tell it wasn’t gluten free and had issues. And by the time the other two got home they also had issues
