North Italia

High prices, small portions. Many items can be made gluten free (they say). I ordered a $15 salad and was planning to split my wife’s pizza that she considerately ordered with the GF crust. After my tiny little salad was delivered, they came back saying they were out of gluten free crust. So my wife got a pizza that we couldn’t share. Later I discovered that they tacked on a GF pizza crust charge of $2.50 for a pizza that was never delivered. I flagged it as celiac friendly, based in their menu, but I didn’t have a good experience. I didn’t get sick but paid an outrageous price for a meal I couldn’t enjoy.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I was glad to find that although not listed on their menu they do make GF pizza, so ask. They also have GF pasta though I did not try it. My friends who had food off the regular menu said that the spaghetti and meatballs was really delicious. Nice atmosphere, especially the patio on a spring night.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Wow. Surprised how bad this was. Asked for the gf bread to go with the olive oil while everyone else got the regular. They gave it to me plain, no oil, cheese, or pesto like the regular so it tasted like cardboard and charged me for it; it’s the gf pizza crust cut up into triangles. Then told me not to get the pizza because they cook it on same equipment. This was after I was told the bread was safe to eat. Already had two bites. So, ordered the pasta. It was too firm and there wasn’t any sauce. I started to get very sick before even leaving the restaurant. This was the worst cross-contamination experience I’ve had yet. Will never go back. This location does not follow precautions.

Gluten free pizza and bread here are definitely not celiac safe. Our server told us pizza is cooked on the same grill as the regular pizza. "It's too small back there for a separate gluten free area." Gluten free bread is just their gf pizza crust. Which is also cooked on the regular grill. Our celiac family member got gf pasta and said it was good. Just a bummer because we read reviews here and chose North for a celebration meal, because we mistakenly thought celiac safe pizza and bread were an option. I even asked about it when I made the reservation and was assured pizza and bread were celiac safe.

They have gluten-free pasta and pizza! It also does not contain egg which is very exciting for me! I had the pizza and it was great! The server and manager took my sensitive very serious and were very kind! I would definitely go back

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

The waiter was really knowledgeable about the gluten free options and offered to replace "normal" menu things with GF bread or vegetables. The GF pasta and pizza were DELICIOUS! They have amazing GF dessert too. Highly recommend!
