North Italia · Restaurant · Scottsdale
The original North Italia, handmade from scratch daily
North Italia at Kierland Commons is the original, the room where the whole concept began. Chef Christopher Christian built the menu at this first North Italia around a modern take on handmade Italian cooking, and this location still sets the tone for every one that followed.
Everything is made from scratch daily. The pasta is rolled and cut in house, the pizzas come out of the oven blistered and fast, and the kitchen leans on fresh, seasonal produce instead of heavy red-sauce cliches. The strozzapreti and the bolognese are the core of what put this place on the map two decades ago.
The room is warm and buzzy without tipping into loud, with an open kitchen, easy energy at the bar, and a patio that earns its reputation on a mild Arizona evening. There is a proper cocktail program and a deep, Italian-leaning wine list, so it works as a relaxed weeknight dinner or the first stop on a bigger night out. Service is polished but unfussy, the kind that reads the table and moves at your pace.
Weekend brunch and a genuinely popular happy hour round out the appeal, but dinner is the reason to book. The reservation runs through the restaurant's own OpenTable page, and Old Town Scottsdale sits a short drive south when the evening keeps going.
