We arrived with are party on time for our reservation. All was going perfect. Great atmosphere . Table was ready and set up. Drink orders taken then we waited. That was the beginning of our 3hr dinner. Everything when in slow motion. Long story shot. We finally had food on the table 2 hrs later. Food was average. Nothing to talk about. We have been there 4 times over over the the bast 2 years. We were hoping tonight would change our opinion about this place. Tonight we decided we are not returning. We had 5 in our party. Drinks and food . Walked out with an over a $400 bill. Not worth it.
Everything was delicious. The butternut squash was amazing, the salas was fresh, my pasta was delicious. It's a must try.
It’s a nice place with a great patio. It has good happy hour drinks. The Old Fashioned is so tasty with the hazelnut. The food was the problem. It is extremely over seasoned. Our tongues were burning after the Caesar salad- way too much lemon, pepper and salt. Then came the cacio e Pepe pizza- COVERED in crushed red pepper and pounds of cheese. It made the pizza so heavy. It reminded me of Pizza Hut. Italian pizza should be lighter. Even the crust was salty. When the waiter asked - red pepper or cheese- I thought he was stating what was on the pizza lol Service was good. Drinks were good. Go for happy hour drinks. Skip the food.
My wife & I decided to try this place out for our date night. With an 18 month old at home, we don't get many nights out alone. North didn't disappoint. My Vodka Rigatoni was probably the best Italian dish I've ever had and my wife was also very happy with hers. Our waitress Olivia was awesome as well! I'd definitely recommend this place for any occasion of Italian dishes.
From the moment you step in, the ambiance sets the tone—chic yet warm, with thoughtful design touches that elevate the space without feeling pretentious. The service was impeccable from start to finish: attentive, friendly, and genuinely knowledgeable about the menu. To kick things off, I highly recommend the New Italian Spritz. This cocktail is the perfect way to begin your evening, especially in Tucson’s warm climate. It’s crisp, refreshing, and expertly balanced—light enough to whet the appetite while packing just enough flavor to stand out. We started with the White Truffle Garlic Bread, and I can confidently say it’s one of the best appetizers I’ve had in recent memory. Rich, aromatic, and indulgent without being overwhelming, it was the perfect introduction to what would be a consistently excellent meal. Every dish we tried reflected careful preparation and a commitment to quality ingredients. From the starters to the mains, everything was flavorful, well-portioned, and beautifully presented. While it’s hard to single out one highlight, the overall experience was a harmonious blend of flavors, hospitality, and ambiance. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply looking for a standout Italian meal in Tucson, North Italia at La Encantada delivers on all fronts. I’ll absolutely be returning—and next time, I might just order two rounds of that truffle bread.
