Seems like a good upgrade from Macaroni Grill.

I hope you were just kidding. I've been to North Italia out west, and it's another piece of c rao chain that was started by Sam Fox I think, but I think it's own by another piece of crap chain, Cheesecake.


Upgrade? from Brinker? hardly. But go there for yourself for your own opinion based on experience. I look at NorthItalia as another corporate chain like Darden (Olive Garden, Capitol Grill, Season's 52 etc).


This addition to the Summit is worthless and doesn't even merit attention.

Yes it's a "friendly" in Soccer parlance, that it means really nothing, but like soccer scrimmage/practice, that's it.


Problem is that many folks (and soccer fans) in Birmingham may not realize that the Birmingham Legion FC is NOT in the same Professional League as Atlanta United FC.


Atlanta United FC is a member of MLS (Major League Soccer....not USL, Birmingham's league).


For readers here that may not be familiar, think Major League Baseball (MLB) playing a AAA Baseball team)....as an analogy only

That's all incredibly interesting. I always think about who some guy is sitting at the top of some corporate pyramid that brought to me the bite of food I just put in my mouth. But since Macaroni Grill is gone, this place has a pretty good lead over it - IMHO of course. Thank you for giving me permission to go there myself and try it out.

If you have share with which location of North Italia :has a pretty good lead over it (Macaroni Grill)
Which one did you visit?
I've only been in San Diego and the one in Nashville.....BOTH marginal




Second thought, you said you need to "try it out for myself", SO YOU HAVEN'T EATEN AT ANY OF THEM !!


Look......."try if out" then, and give your own review...otherwise your opinion about N I doesn't matter one bit, right?



Good grief
