      We were celebrating my niece graduation and our server Eric went above and beyond to make sure that we had an awesome experience. I would highly recommend going to North Italia in Irvine if you want an amazing experience. He made great recommendations on food choices and needless to say we cleared our plates. Thank you so much Eric for making sure we were well taken care of! I can’t wait to go back.

    Discover Orange County

    Located in the sunny state of California, Orange County is known for its many tourist attractions. Considering that Orange County consists of 34 cities and is more populous than 21 U.S. states, you can bet the attractions include not only the best surfing beaches, the Balboa ferry, and sites like Knott’s Berry Farm and Disneyland but also a huge selection of restaurants. The warm climate enhances the growth of fresh, organic vegetables and fruits, which can be found in many restaurants. Although iconic California foods like Rocky Road ice cream and sourdough bread may have originated in other CA cities, they’re also popular in Orange County. Fast food places, drive-ins, and Korean barbecues are popular in this area, too. Smoothies in the summer, however, take the cake.
