North Italia in Peoria is outstanding! The food is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented—loved the vibrant seasonal salad and the decadent Braised Short Rib Lumache in creamy Parmesan sauce with arugula and herbed breadcrumbs. Paired perfectly with a smooth Whistlepig Rye Old Fashioned. But what truly made the night was our server, Samantha—she was absolutely fantastic! Incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, spot-on with her recommendations, attentive, warm, and genuinely made the experience special. We’ll be back and requesting her section every time. Highly recommend—5 stars!
