North Italia At The Rim Review

I love Italian food. Pasta excites me. I am always searching for new Italian restaurants to try. Luckily my husband found one. 

North Italia is located at The Rim in San Antonio. I suggest making reservations on their website if you go during a busy time. We opted to go when they opened at 11 so there was no wait but if you go for dinner, get that reservation because they can get busy. 

It's beautiful inside and I love the flowers at the tables:

This is a perfect spot for a date night or a casual get together: 

I also like when you can see the kitchen. It makes me wish I knew how to cook better. I also loved the chairs. I don't know why, but I was drawn to them. We were in a booth so I can't say how comfy they were, but I am sure they are. Outdoor seating is also available. 

The menu is fantastic. There were so many options. (You can check out the lunch menu here.)

Great news! They have Coke products and you all know I am thrilled when that happens. There are also tons of wines for those who like to partake. I'm always happy with Diet Coke. 

We decided to order the Grilled Bread & Good Olive Oil. The name amused us. "As opposed to BAD olive oil?" I asked. 

Was it good olive oil? Yes! The flavor was there and the bread was fresh.

Ordering the main course was difficult because I kept going back and forth. There are mouthwatering salads, pizzas, sandwiches, fresh pastas...I finally decided on the Burrata Anolini. It's blistered heirloom tomato, grana padano, torn basil, and a simple tomato sauce.

Behold:

I would 100% order this again. Only there are many other things I also want to try. Decisions, decisions.

Tom ended up with the Caprese Sandwich which has heirloom tomato, stracciatella, torn basil, arugula, house pesto, and calabrian aioli. This was a bit on the spicy side which I enjoyed. My husband isn't as into spicy food, but he still appreciated the flavors. The bread was once again fresh and flavorful. 

The fries were amazing. Tom shared and I loved the cheese on top. You can tell they're cooked to order. 

We would certainly return. As I mentioned, there are many dishes I need to try. There are various locations in different states, so there might be a North Italia near you. Check here to see.

And yes, there are desserts, but we always feel stuffed so we didn't get one this time. Their Italian Butter Cake sounded SCRUMPTIOUS. 

If you go to North Italia, let me know what you get. Happy Eating!
