North Italia Irvine Reviews from The Last Year
In all honesty, I came here expecting pretty good food.
However, I have to admit that my expectations were unfortunately not met. The food had somewhat of a good presentation, but unfortunately the most important part, the taste, wasn't so good. Food was bland and boring.It is pretty overrated & the reviews are glazing.
Didn't mind waiting to be seated, however it didn't make
Didn't mind waiting to be seated, however it didn't make sense when people who are walk-ins come in after you've checked in and they are seated before someone who has reservations. Compared to places like Osteria Mozza or Cucina the food lacked flavor for the price you were paying not to mention the service. The atmosphere was good and the place was clean. Service never checked had to ask to order or water or pay the bill.
Food, service and ambience all excellent.
The server was very friendly and helpful without being too much. Food was outstanding. We sat at the outside patio which was luxurious yet relaxed.

North Italia in Irvine is a good concept poorly delivered.
The restaurant has a fun, bright, and lively feel. The menu looks good and the floor staff are all friendly. Great start. However, despite sharing food allergies with the staff our food was delivered carelessly with the allergens we communicated. When it was replaced without the allergens, the food was raw and runny and we were charged for those corrections. The waitress did fix the check for us and she tried to make up for it with a good personality. On her own she would be rated high but the kitchen staff and poor management reaction to the many problems deserve at best one . It's the waitresses effort that boosted them to two stars. The edible food was OK but nothing like it looked online. My friend received soggy fried calamari that was delivered very late. My smoked salmon avocado toast tasted ok but had barely any avocado or salmon on it and two rounds of inedible deliveries were ridiculous. Carelessness seems to be common across the store except for waitress staff trying to compensate for an otherwise poorly delivered good concept. Management offered us a free dessert on our next visit all of which includes the same allergen we were trying to avoid. Needless to say we do not anticipate returning to North Italia and if you care about your food and management experience you should second guess this place too.

My kids surprised me and took me to North Italia in Irvine
My kids surprised me and took me to North Italia in Irvine for Mother's Day. Food was delicious! It was the best pasta I've had! Our server, Gabriel, made it extra special. He was in on the surprise and went above and beyond to make it the best experience. I was brought to tears! Thank you, Gabriel! I'll never forget it!
Great location.
Super great staff. Worst food I've ever had. The breakfast sandwich was absolutely disgusting and almost inedible. Most of our large party ordered it .... But did not eat it. Who ever came up the breakfast sandwich combo needs to find another job. Again cool spot ... great staff. I've been there twice before and the food was good. Maybe the chef was having a bad day.
I eat here often and always bring out of town guests
I eat here often and always bring out of town guests because the food is always so great! We love it ! Yesterday however , I placed an order to go, arrived and waited what was really an unreasonable amount of time, and was shocked that my pizza was ice cold and had no real toppings. I also ordered a gem salad with dressing on the side as was given a very small amount of dressing that was not enough to dress the salad . Although the lettuce was fresh, it was unwashed as the lettuce tasted of grainy dirt! I was so disappointed. I do hope that this was just a bad day in the kitchen.
I had not been here in a few years but wanted to celebrate
I had not been here in a few years but wanted to celebrate a friend's bday so we chose this restaurant. I was fasting and starving so maybe I just ordered the wrong things to my liking but I did not feel the food was good. I'm not saying it was horrible, I'm just saying for the amount they charge, the food should be ahhmazing and I left not wanting to go back nor wanting to recommend this place to others. Tomato & Burrata - not bad but the tomatoes had a strange taste. Calamari Fritti - Not a fan of the heavy breading. Usually most places use panko or other type of bread crumbs for breading. Sauces were good. Prosciutto Pizza - Three ingredients. Not much goat cheese on it. I should have ordered another pizza. The service is great and dessert carrot cake was good. The outdoor seating is nice except you could hear every firetruck, siren, that passes by. Dirty outdoor table seating where we sat. Do yourself a favor and try Angelina's Pizzeria Napoletana in Irvine for upscale Italian too and tell me I am wrong and judge for yourself. Very disappointed. I really hoped for more.
A Chain Restaurant That Is Not Even Close to Real Italian
This is a very popular spot, with good service and a seasonal menu. Parking is, to say the lease, challenging and if you want valet, it will cost you $10. Not a good start. The restaurant is open and very nice. However, the name is very misleading - the food was more like Southern California fusion than real Italian. For example, an Italian salad was a salad with pepperoncini and some salami. The eggplant had some sort of strange spice that caused a rash on the lips. And the pizza was...well, pizza, but with more salt than you ever would see in Italy. One more point - what real Italian restaurant would not bring bread and olive oil to the table? That, plus relatively high prices for their menu items, was disappointing. Clearly not a favorite. If you want Italian food, try elsewhere.
Great Italian food great service!
The restaurant was super busy. The staff tried to their hardest to get us in for a table of seven and was able to accommodate us. The food in the service was fantastic. Definitely, this is a spot that you should check out if you’re in the Irvine area! Matthew, the bartender has an excellent recommendation on drinks!
Inhospitable bar
Let's start on a positive note. I definitely recommend sitting in the dining area. The servers work well as a team, dropping off dishes and attending to customers' needs. Isabel was an outstanding server, and all who helped during our meal were friendly and efficient. The prosciutto asparagus bruschetta, beef carpaccio, spicy rigatoni vodka, and squid ink pasta were superb. However, the calamari and farmers market board were not memorable. The bar is a different situation altogether. We started in the bar while waiting for our table. The tall and short male bartenders did not smile once at any of the bar patrons. They were not overwhelmed with a crowd whatsoever (never a good reason to be stone faced when serving customers), but they didn't make any small talk or seem to want to be at work. The tall male bartender actually held his hand out to wait for my BF to pull out his credit card because he wasn't busy? Not sure, but it was bizarre. Put the bill in a glass and chat with my BF or serve another patron or smile or be normal...geez. This bar experience was enough for me to want to leave the restaurant entirely. However, my former student invited me here, so I had to stay. People go to a bar/the bar area to imbibe and have a fun time. However, my Bloody Mary was not great great, and you have already read how UNfun my experience was at the bar. I was so relieved when our table was ready. Thanks to the latter experience, lunch was salvaged.
Loved It!
Spent a wonderful evening here a couple of weeks ago. They were exceptionally accommodating to my friend who is in a wheelchair, making sure we were comfortable with where we were seated etc. Our servers (we experienced two different ones briefly) were fabulous, patient and friendly. All four of us enjoyed our food immensely. The appetizers, the bread were amazing! Pizza and pasta fab. We will for sure be back next time we’re in the area.

Working on your bid? |
|
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |

Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome
to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
|
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
|
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.

Idk if this is related to the unsold listing % rule but I have listed 6 reservations and sold 5 of them and my unsold listing percentage is ~45%. For some reason the unsold listings have not been converted into sold ones. Does this happen only after the payment is released following the booking or is it an issue that needs to be addressed?

Give the best answerHonest review of AT and advice to new joiners
Forget trying to snipe reservations online by waking up early and booking top restaurants at Carbone or Tatiana or Cote or 4Charles. After 2.5 months of booking reservations by setting up alarms, waking up early to sell appointments. It’s very hard to cash out on this app. During cash out, you have to pay $5 fee +3% transactions fee and max payout per day is $150.
Advice to new users:
- do not mass book reservations
- fill bids only
- don’t try to book reservations online, you need connections and call the restaurant
After putting in about 40 hours of work, I’ve made about $750 sale on this platform but gotten paid $0. Take this with a grain of salt.

Hello All,
I don’t know what else to do as I can’t transfer my cleared funds to my bank account. Customer support is close to non existing and not helpful. How can we keep selling here if we can’t withdraw what we have worked for. They say I have to wait 180 days. This is ridiculous!

Am confused about the payout restrictions. Have nearly $1k sitting, wanted to withdraw some and am surprised to see I can only withdraw $50.

Have opened a ticket regarding this, but any input or advice would be appreciated

Has anyone found a way to get a question answered? From what I can tell there is no way to get in touch with anyone that works at/for AT. Other than the occasional admin posting a consultation offer here and there they are non existent. A lot of people have the same issue I have where we cannot cash out earnings. I cannot get my warning medal removed even though I am under the threshold. Sad to say but seems like AT is holding up everyone’s funds currently. Very scary and makes me wonder….Please reply if you read this admins and can help. Tried every way possible to get in touch

I accepted a bid for a popular restaurant in Los Angeles only to receive a phone call shortly thereafter informing me that the reservation had been canceled due to it being listed on AT. I of course need to subsequently cancel the reservation on AT but get this warning that my status will be negatively affected for doing so. I've reached out to customer support about this several times with no response, not sure what to do in this station. Hoping someone can advise.
