North Italia just opened at the new "Point" in El Segundo! Without a doubt, North Italia offers some of
the greatest food and wine in all of Los Angeles. Go soon! Located at the corner of Rosecrans and El Segundo, the journey to is well
worth the rewards.
For
starters, the cocktails are amazing. Try the LAST GREAT WINE THIEF (Plymouth
gin, sauvignon blanc, clover honey, hopped grapefruit bitters) or the POMEGRANATE SHANDY (dimmi liquore di milano, white rum,
pomegranate sour, peroni lager)to wet your appetite.
The wine list is impressive. The CHIANTI SUPERIORE (Santa Cristian
antinori, Tuscany) or the SUPER TUSCAN (ornellaia
“le volte”, Tuscany) would be great choices for the reds. The MALBEC (terrazas
de los andes, mendoza, arg) is equally delightful.
Or, if you prefer a lighter wine check out the mouthwatering
Italian style PINOT GRIGIO (barone fini, valdadige). I tried this with the
Halibut and found the pairing beyond fabulous.
For a Chardonay sample the delicious newton “red label” from
napa valley
The menu has varieties for a wide range of taste. The BL ACK
MEDITERRANEAN MUSSELS and ITALIAN FARM salad were my favorites.
Whatever you do, someone at your table must try the
incredible SQUID INK MAFALDINE which is filled with white shrimp, calamari,
acqua pazza, mint, fennel pollen, and calabrian chili. This dish is truly
amazing and unforgettable.
Main courses are abundant. We tried the 16oz . RIBEYE and
the fresh fish of the day (which was Halibut).
Both were absolutely delicious. The Ribeye was perhaps the best
ever. Coupled with Tuscan Chianti you
will be giving awards too. This was a
truly sensuous and memorable dining experience.
