North Italia – Kansas City - Leawood

North offers delicious salads and a fantastic meatball appetizer that we absolutely love. The staff is exceptional, with friendly bartenders who provide excellent service even when they are busy. The patio is a delightful spot to enjoy a meal on a beautiful day.

I ordered the squid ink pasta and it was absolutely delicious. The restaurant has a charming atmosphere with floor-to-ceiling windows and attentive staff. Dining in for lunch costs $20-30 per person. I rated the food, service, and atmosphere all a perfect 5. I also recommend trying the Diver Scallops and Arancini dishes.

Had a pretty awful experience at this place earlier this year when I went there with my wife. Walked-in during the peak lunch hour on a weekend so didn 't really expect to be seated immediately. The girl at the reception had a pretty annoyed look at us, not sure why, because I noticed she was greeting other guests with a smile. Anyway, she said there was about an hour wait time, and put my name on the wait list. She said she will call when our turn comes. So, we went back to our car and waited. Roughly about 45 minutes later when I called them back to learn about the status, the same girl picked up the phone and said my name is not on the wait list. She said that it happened due to some system glitch and with no remorse said that she would be happy to put me on the wait list again! We became very frustrated and went to another place for some quick bites. It could very well be a human error or really a system glitch as she claimed, but unfortunately, I experienced this type of behavior quite a few times in that city, so if I had to bet on what the actual reason was, I would bet that there really was no glitch with the system, the glitch was somewhere else : Well, we left the city for good, so I guess that was our last time there anyway.

With carry out we continue to find items not included in the order. No, we don’t want to drive all the way back to get what was missing. Be sure to check your own orders before you walk out, so you’re not disappointed once you get home. Service: Take out Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $50–100 Food: 4 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3
