29 Best Italian Restaurants near Brecksville

“Got the family meal with meatballs, Italian sausage, rigatoni, salad, and bread. Meatballs are excellent, the Pizzeria salad was great, and the bread is to die for. The assortment of cookies for the desert was very good. Recommend this place for good quality food and fast easy takeout.“

“Everything was simply perfect! The vibe is high end but relaxing and inviting. The wines are amazing, the happy hour on Saturday is such a great deal. The chicken parm was the absolute best I’d ever had in my entire life. The dessert was phenomenal too. Highly recommend!“

“I was absolutely blown away by the quality of the food and the service! It also wasn't as expensive as I thought; only maybe $8-10 more expensive per dish than a common Italian chain restaurant. I ordered the chicken parmigiana and it was to-die-for. You can tell they only use the freshest ingredients, and the pasta is hand-made! The portion sizes were generous, and I had about half of my chicken parm left to enjoy tomorrow! My partner ordered the gnocchi dish, and it was delectable as well. The free bread with herb dressing was also a wonderful accompaniment to the food. I still found it affordable as we ordered 2 dishes, an entire bottle of wine, dessert, and we were still under $150 for 2 people. The atmosphere was perfect as well, and the service top-notch! If you have a special celebration, I highly recommend going here. I will definitely be back to try some other dishes and wines :)!“

“Fantastic food and service“

“I have been here several times and it's always delicious. Staff always friendly. The shop is always so clean. Portions are huge! Keep up the great work! PS try the fried pickles!!“

“A great meal at D'Agnese's as always! Never disappointed in the quality of food here. Great service, ambience is a little better than average. The noise level was higher than average on this visit only because we were seated next to a large group. Never rushed here, always encouraged to take your time & enjoy your meal. Would recommend!“

“Excellent cannolli cake! Its a slice for two people.... Best value desert they have! Creamy, custurdy filling and moist cake layers. Topped with chocolate chips.... Gotta have that crunch! Sometimes i get a coffee or capicino with it. Their entrees are great too but...... All i ate was the cake on this visit. I highly recommend just about anything here. Enjoy!Dietary restrictions: Keto options possible..... but not with canoli cake“

“Excellent Italian food. Lunch was delicious my dad had the pick three and had a salad/pasta/veal and was pleased. I ordered the fettuccine and veal in a Marsala sauce and it was outstanding. Will definitely return.UpdateSecond visit was even better than the first visit. Food is outstanding. Staff is excellent. I had tomato cream angel hair with chicken and my dad chose the penne with peppers sausage and onions. Looking forward to having dinner here.“

“Always enjoy the pizza and the atmosphere. Really brings me back to the pizza parlor days and it’s great surfing the memories of old celebrities that are scattered throughout the dining area.The pizza is so fresh and the crust is delicious.Looks forward to visiting many more times in the future.“

“First time at Pizzeria Cerino as my quest for NE Ohio's best veal parmigiana continues. My wife and I had a meeting out in Seven Hills and wondered in. Got there about 5:30 with no reservation and was seated immediately. Could have been a problem had we come a little later as it filled up fast. Place appeared fairly new, clean with a separate bar area. Food was good, really good. Dinner came with bread and we split a very nice house salad...plenty big enough to share. I had the veal parmigiana and wife had the bolognese. My veal was a solid as any place around town. My wife's bolognese was also very good. I prefer flat noodles instead of stovepipe for bolognese but it was excellent. Portions were very fair for the price and we both had enough for lunch the next day. Split a cannoli for desert. Solid enough. Service was good, friendly and unassuming. Kind of a shame it is so far away from where I live as this is the kind of place that I would frequent a lot.“

“A true Mom and Pop pizza shop. You walk in and it instantly gives off that vibe, that you know the food is about to be hitting differently. Just pick up an order and see for yourself. I'm happy to have discovered this place while walking, I never would've known about it otherwise, as it's basically hidden on Pearl Rd. You won't be disappointed, try a pie from this local gem.“

“Had the Italian sub and a slice of sausage pizza both were FANTASTIC!! Can’t beat the price either worth every penny!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Hello my family and I have been searching for a place that has pizza like mazzones. It was definitely a standard in my family during the holidays and apparently in others as well. I asked Facebook for recommendations for the best pizza that compares to Mazzones and I ended up getting over 100 comments. Some were places I never heard of and some were popular places. Molisanas wasn't high on the list but it made my list. I picked 5 places so my family can try and Molissnas was number one for all. Not only was the pizza delicious I was able to taste there sausage and it was amazing. The moment I walked in everyone was very welcoming. Thanks for giving us a great pizza and bringing back great memories. Happy Holidays“

“We had a party of 12. This was a family get together. We had two servers, shame on me can’t remember their names, they were attentive and we wanted for nothing. The food was phenomenal and service was the same! This place is beautiful and cozy! I highly recommend ❤️“

“Service wasn’t great but did get seated quite fast considering I’m disabled was disappointed with my drink pay $25 for a picture. All sugar and ice food was OK but I know they work very hard and there’s usually fantastic servers. The soup is the bomb.“

“Maybe I am biased because I have been getting pizza here since a child ..... But I have lived in several states. And I can promise you there is no pizza that even comes close to what you will find here at Romito's Pizza West in Independence ...Unfortunately, this applies to every other Romitos pizza that you will find that is not Romitos Pizza West in Independence ...So please don't be fooled by the name on the sign because in this case it's all about the location ...It's all about the people ...It's all about the hometown atmosphere ...It's all about exceptional service ...Of course it's all about the food!“

“Very friendly and relaxed atmosphere. I did carry out and food was excellent and no skimping on the dinner, I loved it. I will probably eqt in next time, but nice to bring home such a great home cooked dinner. Thank you for such a great experience. Everyone very friendly. It's nice to see a quality place to eat. I will be back for sure. Price was very reasonable for so much food.“

“Thanks to my husband discovering this gem of a pizza joint I can’t help but want their delicious food about once a week. I love their BBQ chicken pizza and garlic Parmesan wings, but everything else we’ve tried has been just as delicious! Double edged sword bc I found the best place around, but I’m wanting to eat it all the time. Must try!!“

“We came here a couple of years ago, and the food and service were terrible. We thought we would give this place another try. We came here on a Wednesday evening, and there were plenty of seats available that scared me at first. But my fears were very short-lived.The server was pleasant and attentive, and the food was good, and it came out hot. The menu is fairly extensive. Everything from salads, pizza, subs, calzones, and more.I had the Backstage Classic Woogie. It had pepperoni, sausage, yellow peppers, and 5 cheese blends in a rolled calzone. It came with a side of pizza sauce. It was a really nice blend of flavors. Our group also ordered a pepperoni pizza and an Italian Cobb salad.The pizza was really good. And way better than we were expecting. The Cobb salad was loaded with a lot of Italian goodness.We will definitely come back again.“

“What a great experience! We sat at the bar, Kristin served up some tasty cocktails and recommended the calamari, It was excellent. We ordered a steak & the smoked Mac, amazing flavor cooked to perfect med-rare. My wife ordered the Navajo Tacos, they were amazing! The rest of our party all enjoyed their meals as well! Highly recommend!!“

“The atmosphere was perfect, the food beyond delicious and the service was beyond reproach. Without question, one of the finest overall dining experiences I've ever had. Everything began with the charm, insight and incredibly pleasant and wonderful attitude and attention from the service staff, especially that of our waitress!“

“The pizza place has pretty good pizza but the sauce on the pizza is a little sweet and if you don't like sweet sauce then you will probably not like this pizza much especially if you are like me I don't like sweet pizza sauce it tasted like a bag of sugar but other than that it was pretty good my wife liked it and that's the most important thing“

“My first visit to this Italian restaurant today - I ordered carry out …my chicken parm was sooo delicious my compliments to the chef…I will tell all my friends and relatives about this amazing restaurant! I will definitely be back!“

“I knew as soon as the home made bread came out it was going to be excellent! The olive tapenade was amazing where other places make it oily or acidic, it was delicate and simply fantastic! Quiet and quiant, authentic from scratch, don't care that it's Ala carte the portion size, quality to price is worth it! Cocktails were mixed perfect! My wife and I had a lovely dining experience. So much that I purchased gift certificates for other family/friends. Dine when you can relax and want the real deal.“

“Best pizza in town!“

“Just so you know if you order mozzarella sticks they are not made with mozzarella and does in fact have a unique taste. Not the greatest…and the pizza tastes like gas station pizza. Grab some from the Sunoco around the corner for cheaper ?‍♀️ nice people though “
