Had a fantastic night at North Italia-Henderson, which is a new location, and authentic as it gets! This lovely new location is part of a California chain of 42 restaurants in an area called The District, next to Green Valley Ranch Casino. There is an existing restaurant in Summerlin which I did not know about.
North Italia-Henderson occupies about 10,000 sq feet in a brand new building, with plenty of eye contact to the kitchen and free parking. The place is gorgeous in North Italian tradition and style. There is plenty of seating, both high tops and booths. The ambience and mouthwatering smells demanded we sample an array of items.
This was a premiere opening night—busy—and the staff were genuinely happy to tell us about all their items. We started with a dirty martini and quickly moved on to their delicious Calamari Fritti with house made giardiniera, and
a couple of salads, each one big enough for three to four people. I tried the Italian Farm and my guest had Tuscan Kale. We then moved on to a mesmerizing dish of Scallops and risotto, which I could have ordered five plates, and pasta to absolutely die for!
For dessert, we indulged in a huge Sundae with nuts, strawberries, bananas, and fudge 
sauce; the same delectable concoction I had eaten at their location in Del Mar, California, years ago.
Thank you, @eatnorthitalia, for opening on the east side of town.
