Bravo! Cucina Italiana is being replaced by North Italia.
If you’re not familiar, it’s an upscale Italian chain that serves “fresh" pasta. Should be a good fit for Village Pointe.

North Italia (Village Pointe)
Went to the one near work a few times (Tyson’s). Nice modern but woodsy atmosphere. Stick to the pastas, appetizers, and entrees. Omaha has better pizza, for less $. A little on the pricey side for what you get, so I don’t think I’ll be a regular.

We were eating at Meddys this last weekend and chuckled as several different people walked up to North Italia and tried to go in.

Just a follow up about our visit Saturday. Loved the atmosphere and how much outdoor dining they have... given the nice weather, there were people eating outside.djc311 wrote: Thu Nov 13, 2025 10:06 am Received an invite to go here this upcoming weekend before it opens.

We sat at a high top near the bar, which we liked. Place has quite a bit of space and it doesn't look like Bravo at all. Food was awesome. We will definitely be back once they're officially open for business. Hopefully they can keep this place around for a long time.
