“Had the fettuccine alfredo....the best I ever had. The portion was huge, so was the salad.I've eaten at many Italian restaurants, to me, the best. Great atmosphere too. I can't wait to go again! ?Kid-friendliness: The waitress was awesome. At the end of dinner the owner introduced himself. I liked that a lot. Made you feel like family.“

“The name says it all! I was very impressed with the unique flavors of the Mediterranean pizza. The flavors all went together splendidly. The additional vinegrete dipping sauce was the cherry on top! I can't wait to try another unique specialty pizza! The aspect that led me to this restaurant was the sourdough pizza dough. I had never heard of something like that. As someone who has made home-grown bread with just flour, water, and salt and a little time on the counter, it piqued my interest. I was not disappointed.“

“Our leadership team went here for happy hour, and it was wonderful. The variety of appetizers worked for all of us. Unique specialty drinks are available but didnt appeal to the 4 of us. We were there for 3 hours and never felt rushed. Will definitely be back!Parking: Directly behind the building.“

“Beautiful Italian Market with tons of delectable authentic Italian foods. A deli, bakery, grocery store, and a pleasant eating area all in one place. The canoli are just like the ones I had as a child. We discovered Alesci's and will definitely be going back.“

The food was excellent! The service was excellent! The amisphere was so comfortable. The food taste like the way my grandmother used to make. The staff made everyone feel comfortable and were very attentive to everyone's needs. Thank you Vittorios! May God bless you!“

“One of the best kept secrets on Chagrin Boulevard and a short distance from the busy area where all the restaurants are located. The place is nicely laid out and decorated, with a bar, two dining rooms, a fireplace, and big tables that can accommodate large parties with ease. Plenty of choices on the menu, all Italian (obviously), with excellent service and relatively high prices.Vegetarian options: Veggie Pizza, Salads, and Pasta Dishes with No Meat.Parking: Big parking lot by the building where the restaurant is located.“

“Exceptional dining experience in Gates Mills. Chef Richie’s rack of lamb and my husband’s pork chop were delicious. They accommodated my wheat allergy with care. Ample gluten free options on the menu. The potato skin appetizer was delightful, and the dessert special was decadently divine. From the warm reservation call with the owner to Claudia’s impeccable service, this restaurant stands out as one of the best in Cleveland and beyond. Can’t wait to return!“

“Italian food at its best! Long surviving family owned restaurant with generous portions of tasty well prepared offerings. Any chicken dish is superb…piccata, Marsala, parmigiana, genovese…ummm. Outstanding thin crusted gluten free pizza made spectacular with mozzarella cheese (mushroom & sausage added). Incredible steak salad. Wonderful Merlot house wine. Tasty bread rolls. Fabulous Italian wedding soup. Wonderful servers and staff. And earn reward points to apply to a future meal. And the take-out Family Packs are a fantastic price with an abundance of food. We love this place, truly love it!“

“My husband and I went to Cremona’s last night for dinner and it is our new favorite place! Made from scratch pasta, large portions, excellent service and the owner/Executive Chef, Alex, brought our food to our table. We watched as he checkingIn with other guests to see if they were happy with the food. Where does that happen? We loved the intimacy of the smaller venue. We were seated at the front window overlooking Chardon Square and enjoyed watching the snow come down as we ate dinner. This is a table I will request in the future. Our server, Joe was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, wine, and specials. We can’t wait for the new patio to open so we can enjoy the outdoor space! Thanks Cremona for a memorable evening!“

“I was at a weekend gettogether and got to eat food that was catered from Mario Fazio's. It was amazing! The lemon chicken, chicken parm, pizza, broccoli parm?, were soooooo good! like, soooo good! Their bread was good too. I hate it when I keep eating only because my mouth tells me too, but that is what happened here. It was soooooo good!“

“We love the friendly atmosphere of Pranzo. We highly recommend this restaurant it brings Italy to Willoughby with excellent wine selections to pair with your meal. If you are visiting Willoughby it's a must visit for a great Italian meal ?“

“Fawn was a great server as u all know!!! Thanks again for another great visit, brought my grandson this time!Kid-friendliness: Equipped with high chairs, booster seats, server would find crayons sure if need be.Wheelchair accessibility: 1st level easy cheesey“

“We hadn’t been here for a really long time, so decided to try it for lunch, and we were not disappointed. The service was a bit off, but the food was great!My husband had chicken parm, which he said was very good, and I had what may be the best fettuccine Alfredo I’ve ever eaten in my life! It was so rich, cheesy, and buttery, I wanted to keep eating even when I was too full to consider it!We will definitely be returning soon! I would recommend this to anyone!“

“Our experience at Sirnas Italian restaurant was nothing short of fantastic! The food was absolutely delicious, especially the homemade pasta! The service was prompt, and the employees were incredibly friendly. To top it off, the owner took the time to personally check on us, showcasing their genuine care for their customers. It's evident that Sirnas is a great family business, and I can't wait to come back for another delightful meal! Highly recommended.“

“I had the chance to pick up a pizza from Angelo's Friday evening. I was very pleased with their pizza The crust is thin and hand tossed I prefer pepperoni and mushrooms with lots of cheese. Their pizza sauce is not too sweet and very flavorful. I'm looking forward to another visit to eat in their dining room to enjoy one of their bougie boozy milkshakes.“

“We tried this place on a recommendation from a friend. We ordered two pizzas and one of their daily specials, linguine with lobster. I also tried their clam chowder, which was very good, and that's saying something coming from someone who originally came from New England. All three were excellent. We will definitely be working through their menu over the next year.“

“Recently came out to grab a sandwich. They didn't have a Google Pay POS and I didn't have cash on me so I had to leave without getting food. Great place, definitely won't be my last time visiting and the service was friendly and understanding. They explained that they'd be getting updated POS machines soon. I caught the manager before she was leaving for the day and she understood the issue right away and took the time to explain the situation to me.“

“For being a hinde gem at the end of a plaza, Severino's is one of the most affordable places to eat, gather, drink and have a good time...The muscles are a high recommendation, eggplant parm served with pasta and homemade sauce with salad and 2 slices for garlic bread, oh my.....enjoy.....“

“This parlor, was a nice little spot being in a very accessible area yet not in the thick of it. Food and everything was great and service was dope but being a pizza snob and being well versed in what quality ones pizza would fall under, I honestly had just one comment and/or complaint. With the quality bracket that your pie fell in, in my opinion based on my past experiences, unfortunately ya'll need to chop that price down. Knowing that the price is the absolute last thing your gonna wanna touch or adjust without facts, figures from more than just little ol me. Just saying, yall would have locked me in as a weekly regular for sure, gotta have my pizza why not from you. Well, your way too expensive so I didn't come back ever“

“This was my first time dining here per my parent's recommendation. Overall, it was a good experience. The house Italian on the side salad was delicious! The oil for the bread had some kick but was very good and flavorful. I ordered the chicken parm (not featured in a photo) and thought it was quite tasty. I really liked the sauce which had a nice sweetness to it. Unfortunately, they were busy and possibly understaffed as it took about 15 minutes before we were asked to place a food order. The atmosphere is cute overall but a bit too plain. I was here on a Wednesday night where they run a generous special on their chicken parm.“

“The food here is amazing. A large variety of Italian American food including pizza, salads, and soups. It's a very cramped space so you are sitting close to others and the walkways are tight and the noise from the kitchen rails though the place. Despite any downfalls, it's worth it for the food, except for the Calamari was over cooked.“

“Our first time trying & we ordered take out, everything was amazing!! We ordered a lot to try a bit of everything and I highly recommend the inferno Alfredo pasta, firecracker shrimp, and Ebony & Ivory for dessert. We’re excited to dine in next time.“

“Flour has become a go-to place for us. It has a diverse menu that caters to many tastes. We like sitting at tables, but if they are really busy and we go without reservations, the bar is comfortable and the cocktails are good.They give service with a smile. Their regular menu is good and their specials are great also. Last time there I had some awesome Lasagna. The portion size allowed me to have it for lunch the next day. The sauce and pasta were a great match. The Caesar salad was enough for two and the bread with olive oil and spices kept us busy while waiting for our entrees. The lava cake finished the meal just right.Flour is vibrant and a good place to celebrate.Tables not to close together, and walkways wide enough if to get around easily. If you like valet service they have it. During warmer months they have outside seating.We think if you go once, you will go back. We have many time.“

“OMG! I was on that side of town yesterday and stopped in for a quick bite to go and it was really good! Their pizza is like no other around town. Very fresh ingredients. Excellent service too! I typically don't leave reviews, but I popped open my browser and their listing was still there, so why wouldn't I?“

“Delicious authentic Italian food….wonderful, warm ambience. All the staff we encountered were so kind and helpful. Shannon and Anna gave the best service ever!! It is apparent everyone there works together as a team and it shows to the customer …made dining experience a great one!! No worries!! Entire restaurant an absolute “gem” of a place. Go and treat yourself! Someone highly recommended it to us and we’re glad we went. Loved the Lasagne and Caesar salad. So many desserts to choose from…Can't wait to return again. Mangia!…,Enjoy!“

“I highly recommend this restaurant! I have enjoyed every meal I’ve had there and consistently receive excellent service.It’s a great Italian choice for Sunday sauce. They have the best Lenten Fish Fry around. Clam bakes in the fall are delicious with generous portions. And holiday events like the Mother’s Day brunch are always fun ways to celebrate. Alfredo’s is a delicious, enjoyable choice for any occasion.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free pasta is available“

“their food is delicious.... I'll get on a Kick and I'll start eating it everyday for weeks and then I won't eat for a while then I'll start eating is again...ECT ECT ....Wheelchair accessibility: they have is it wider so handicap ppl can get in the restaurant too...“

“First time having Zeppe's. The staff was very welcoming and friendly. We had the Origional Clevelander and a white pizza with banana peppers. Both pizzas were hot, fresh and tasty. The kids enjoyed the cinnamon twists and Zepperoni rolls. We will definatly be back!“

“Delicious spot in Downtown Willoughby! You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. Their bread is so soft and delicious we always finish it within minutes of sitting down. Tonight we ordered my favorite appetizer the Fried Ravioli which is always a hit. My husband had the Italian Sausage Sub for his entree which came with crispy fries. I ordered the Spaghetti Geraci Sauce which came with a house salad. The house Italian dressing is great but you must try the creamy Italian dressing! The pasta was perfectly cooked and the sauce was amazing as usual! Come check this place out!!!“

“Wednesday night and we went to M Italian as we always do when we visit Chragrin Falls. But it wasn’t a particularly busy night due to storms in the area. Every other occasion we’ve been there, it’s quite busy. And for good reason. The food is excellent. We had the salmon and chicken Marsala dinners tonight, with house salads. All the food was excellent. And the service was great. We had Geraldine (Tina). She was professional, courteous, showed genuine care that we were taken care of, let us know about wine being 1/2 off on Wednesday. And then since it was later and most patrons had left she had some time to talk with us before we left. She is so pleasent, very welcoming, and made our entire evening extra special. All in all, this was a wonderful evening at M Italian! Even the valet service was great. .“

“I kept my daughter's 26th birthday here and the service was excellent! The food was great and the staff were very helpful. I couldn't ask for better service from my server. She was phenomenal! The staff brought out the cake and sang happy birthday to my daughter and made her evening very special. Thank you guys!“

“First time ordering here this afternoon for my staff @ Dogtropolis Dog Daycare in South Euclid. The three pizzas we ordered were amazing!!! Cannoli amazing as well!!! We will be doing an order each week here. Really happy with our pizzas!!! Please add Mike’s Hot Honey as a glaze you can add to pizzas. We would love to add this on our pepperoni pizzas.“

“I met my friend here last night after not seeing her for a long time and her losing her son. We were sat in a nice area away from the bustle. The food was excellent and our server was also wonderful. We sat and cried and caught up until they were closing. We didn’t feel rushed nor were we rushed at all. Wonderful experience. Will be back again!! Thank you Joey’s Italian Grill!Parking: We each found a parking spot but it was crowded which is a good thing I guess!“

“I have not had their pizza yet, but their burgers are excellent. Nice chargrilled 8 oz with your choice of toppings, cooked to perfection. On another occasion I ordered 2 subs, a meatball and "super" italian. First off the buns for their subs are little more that glorified hot dog buns, I feel like they could do a lot better and that the buns are holding back their sub game. So the meatball: I asked before I ordered if they made their meatballs in-house and she said yes. I was pleasantly surprised to find out they are indeed hand made and quite tasty. (most of the time a restaurant will outright lie when I ask them this. I'm picky, I don't like food service meatballs...) So the meatballs were excellent but the sub was short on both cheese and sauce in my opinion. Again their bread choice doesn't lend itself to providing a good base for a saucy sub. The Italian was pretty disappointing, same crappy hot dog bun, only 2 kinds of meat -ham and salami. Don't call it 'super' if it only has 2 kinds of meat, and not much of either. Also WTF is American cheese doing on an Italian sub? The whole thing was kind of a trainwreck and I've literally have better Italian subs from a gas station. I've also had a grilled chicken sandwich and it was delicious. grilled perfectly and served with lettuce and tomato, a dab of mayo and it was fantastic. My advice is avoid their subs and order their sandwiches, you won't be disappointed.“

“Quiet, simple, sit down and take out Italian restaurant. Good menu choices...has a good 3 cheese stuffed shell with big meatball and marinara on special for lunch with soup or salad. Stuffed shrimp is excellent. Tasty Italian wedding soup. Hot fresh bread for the table. Fast service, friendly. Decent wine selection. We look forward to our next visit!“

“They are remodeling, so we were put in a bigger party room. It was loud but still decent. We've come here many times, the food is very good. My chicken pot pie special was outstanding! My husband had a chicken beet salad that was fantastic as well. I'm looking forward to seeing their new updated regular dining area. Plenty of parking too. We'll be back for sure.“

“We ordered our meal on the website which was quick and easy. When we arrived our food was hot and ready. We had pizza, bbq wings and a salad. Everything was made just as ordered and the person at the counter was friendly. They even supplied us with plastic utensils and napkins. I would and will come again.“

“We met friends here for lunch. The food was delicious and service was exceptional! We stayed for a long time visiting with our friends and the waitress was very accommodating. We didn't feel like we had to rush and get out, they even placed us in the back so we felt kind of secluded- it was very private feeling!!“

“It was okay, just not great. When she cut my slice out, I lose quite a bit of the pizza. The taste was good, but the sausage wasn't great. I like a hearty chunky sausage recipe, this was like crumbly school cafeteria stuff, which does bring back find memories, but I expected more.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining out at Papa Joe's Subs & Salads, and it was an absolute delight for my taste buds! From the moment I stepped in, the inviting aroma of freshly baked bread and the vibrant colors of the decorations was simply delightful. I go as often as my schedule allows for the spaghetti and Meatballs with side salad meals. The prices are reasonable for the quality and portion sizes l received.Parking: Upon arrival, l was pleased to find ample parking space available, making my experience stress-free from the very beginning. Well maintained parking lot, spacious, well lit, and easily accessible.“

“Since Mama Santa's was closed on Sunday and Tavern of Italy just too busy, this is where we decided to grab a bite to eat. It's counter service, so you order and then have a seat. I don't mind this because made to order usually means freshness. I decided on the Veal Parm sangwich which was pretty damn tasty and enormous. Veal had terrific breading and was tender. The veal hung over both sides of the hoagie bun it was on and their sauce is definitely homemade. My wife decided on the Cavatelli with meatballs which was also pretty tasty based upon my sampling. Nice little spot and a plus is that connected to the restaurant is their bakery. Review to come.“
