“My wife and I were making our first visit to Cleveland and chose Il Venetian based on what we'd read on-line. We were delighted. Food, service, and ambience were all impeccable. Our waiter was attentive and informative without being intrusive. The sommelier was in equal parts friendly, unpretentious, and knowledgeable and steered us to an Amarone that was other-worldly.With respect to our food selections, we had the Waygu carpaccio and clam chowder as appetizers; the agnolotti and rigatoni as mains; and the olive cake for dessert. Truly delicious.“

We came across pizza fan on DoorDash and ordered the garlic parm and bbq wings. Omg they were PERFECT. So today we had to go back for more we couldn’t stop talking about these wings all day ? we decided to also try a chicken Philly to split. Again pizza fan did NOT disappoint. ? ? very very highly recommend. Service was great the store was clean the gentleman behind the counter were lovely. This is definitely a new favorite of ours.

“Went there for my daughter's birthday. Enjoyed a great evening. Her food came out a bit late and though we were enjoying our time, they went out of their way to make it better - they bought a round of drinks, took her dinner off the tab and gave her a "Borgata" snow cap. In addition they had the whole place sing "Happy Birthday". Couldn't have had a better time or a better group of people running the place. Can't wait to go back.“

“We worked with Italian creations for our wedding on June 2nd, and they were absolutely amazing! They were very flexible, and the pricing was so good it was hard to pass up. Everyone raved about our food, saying it was the best wedding food they’d had and was more like a restaurant. The late-night pizzas were a perfect snack. I wish I had been less high energy so I could have had more myself! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a delicious, filling meal at their wedding. They also did the linens, and the tables looked exactly how I pictured in my head :) Could not have asked for a better caterer.“

“Trattoria has become a Little Italy favorite of mine. I have nothing negative to say. Positives are many. I do very much appreciate that they are open for lunch. This sets Trattoria apart from many restaurants in the area. I also appreciate that they have a parking lot. It is no surprise to anyone familiar with Little Italy that parking can be problematic in the neighborhood. The service is beyond reproach. I am a huge fan of the Con Carne Pizza, the Eggplant Parmesan, the Carrot Cake and the Tiramisu“

Tell me before I order or a sign is all that’s needed. I would put a 4.5 on here if possible. The place just needs to allow customers to use more payment methods than just cash , it’s 2023 , no one carries cash like they did even like 5 years ago.“

“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“

It was a great walk down "memory lane," visiting our first home where we started our family and enjoying a pizza that brought back just as many memories.
