“We showed up yesterday late morning with 14 hockey players and their families - they were incredibly fast with both taking our orders and bringing the food out. The food was amazing and the service was excellent!! We already know where we are going next time we are in the area!“
“I'm running out of wonderful things to say about Valerio's. It is our favorite Italian restaurant for good reason...the food is delicious, the staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient (especially Salvatore), and the service is excellent. It's the kind of place where you feel as if you are family!“
“Amazing, amazing gem of a restaurant! The food was delicious- we loved the calamari and pizza. The owner is very kind and generous- he made us feel very welcomed. The customer service is all about quality - and not quantity. Our waitress was also sweet and sincere. We felt very welcomed and will definitely be back again!“
“A very busy Italian place, recommend calling ahead for reservations. The food is pretty good, the octopus and calamari special I got was just okay, but the mushroom ravioli my wife got was better than mine but wasn't like fantastic and making us want more. Service was very good though and quick.“
“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.“
“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“
“When my husband passed away. Me and my kids were looking for a place after the funeral service. The funeral home recommended Vittorios. We made plans with them picked a menu. It was excellent! 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!“
“The food was absolutely delicious and everyone enjoyed their meals. The appetizer special of pork belly was a beautiful presentation and great flavor along with the meatballs and burrata cheese with tomatoes. Our server, Leah was very attentive and responsive. She made our meal relaxed and enjoyable.Dietary restrictions: Offers gluten free.“
“A nice slice of Little Italy. The food was fantastic and what I was hoping for in my first visit. Tight dining area? Very little parking? Yes, but it added to the experience and I wouldn't complain since the food and atmosphere was deliciously fantastic.“
“The hospitality from the moment we walked in..AWESOME. The service from Mrs.MaryAnn..Stellar. The Graciousness from the Owner Mrs.Lisa..and the PHENOMANAL MEAL WAS ALL THAT I COULD EVER IMAGINE! BRYCE, I THANK YOU FOR AN OUTSTANDING EXPERIENCE!!!!!“
“Our favorite Italian restaurant in Cleveland. Really enjoy their calzones and lasagna. Quality of the food here is consistent and good!! Servers are always nice. Pleasant atmosphere and a great city vibe. Eating outside in the enclosed garden is a special treat!Parking: During busy times parking lot can get pretty full, but we always find a space no matter.“
“What a fantastic little gem in Gates Mills. As you drive to get to Sara’s Place you get to drive through the community of homes surrounding it. I wish it was summer so we could’ve walked around the area. It’s so interesting to look at all the homes.We enjoyed espresso martinis and maple bacon brussel sprouts to start. My wife had the cavatelli dish and I had the bone in pork chop. Both fantastic but the pork chop was one of the best I have ever had; highly recommend trying. Finished with a chocolate and salted caramel custard that really lived up to the expectation set by our waiter.This is a great place to enjoy some really good food and also have a quiet, relaxed night out in an area that isn’t packed with people. We’ll be back!“
“Our appetizers were frog legs- lightly fried( yummy) and mussels. We ordered a bottle of wine and enjoyed sipping and watching the books and servers do their thing. We split veal scallopini which came with a little ziti pasta in red sauce and Parmesan cheese. We had cannolis for dessert which were delicious. The waiter was incredible, actually one of the best I've had in awhile. The food was reasonably priced and we just really enjoyed the whole evening. Would go there again tonight if I could!“
“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!“
“Wonderful high-end Italian dining experience with an adventurous menu and excellent white tablecloth service. You need a reservation to sit at a table but the bar is almost always empty and you can have an excellent meal there with the capable and entertaining bartenders.“
“We stopped in here on a whim and so glad we did. We ordered the zucchini planks, Cesar salad, wedding soup, a pizza and you know we had to get canolli to go! They were all amazing and so fresh and delicious. Our server was super nice and made us feel welcome and explained the menu to us being our first time. One hundred percent would eat here again when I'm in the area.“
“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 ?“
“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.“
“Great restaurant family owned and great atmosphere and service. Great place to spend your lunch time.Parking: Great wheelchair accessible and close to restaurant.Kid-friendliness: Great kids food on menu.Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap accessible and great parking“
“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“
“I haven't left a review yet and just have to. This is the second time I have ordered lobster here and OMG best lobster ever. My partner always gets veal Parmesan that is also outstanding. I've had lobster in Maine and hands down Angelo's is the BEST. Definitely one of my favorite places to eat. Atmosphere, waitress/waiters are amazing.“
“Look, I'd give this place 5 stars but I dont like to overhype a spot. I will say this though: Geraci's has been in University Heights since 1956, and it's no question why. Geraci's offers a full menu of Italian based cuisine but for me, it's largely about the pizza. The occasional eggplant parm add-on, or the frequent house salad are ordered, but the pizza is our go-to. Personally, we go for the deluxe, and the Red Sicilian (no cheese except grated Romano). On the red, its a perfect bread and red sauce bite. On the deluxe, all veggies are fresh (particularly the mushrooms, uncanned), and the meats are unique. Nowhere in Cleveland have I tasted a sausage like on a Geraci's pizza. I have wondered if it is made in house, but note it does have fennel seed (which I love, and almost require) and is crumbled finely. The pepperoni is likewise unique. I have no idea where they source it, but it is nicely spicey, and hand-sliced. It's a hallmark thing for a Geraci's pie. Hand-sliced, slightly irregular pieces of pepperoni, which at times feel like "the steak of Italian charcuterie" (my own words). Bottom line: try a pepperoni and/or a pie of your choice, pair it with an Italian red wine like a Montepulciano or a glass-bottle Coke, and go from there.“
“The best pizza in this area!! We tried many pizzas in different restaurants but my boyfriend and I agreed that Abo's pizza was the best. Their crust/dough was so good and had an excellent flavor. It was relatively thin but could hold the toppings. We had one of their specialty pizzas, Mediterranean, together with a Caesar salad. Large pizza was more than enough to share for two people. Service was good, prices were reasonable but we thought $10 for a piece of cheese cake was a bit steep. Anyways, we will go back there for sure.Update:We went back & ordered Calamari, Margarita Pizza (BEST) , Linguine with Calamari, & Gnocchi. Ordering a bottle of wine for three of us worked perfectly ?“
“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.“
“Our server, Eugene, was excellent. He was formal as well and friendly. He was attentive and prompt. He helped make our excellent meals more enjoyable. The noise level was pretty high, but the room was crowded and the tables were close together. It is expensive, but for special occasions, just right.“
“My wife and I have looked forward to enjoying a meal at this location. We had read wonderful reviews and being fans of Italian cuisine, we were excited to have a meal here. We were not disappointed with our selections and thoroughly enjoyed the authentic atmosphere. I was transported back to my grandmother's house and the smells coming from her kitchen. We definitely look forward to coming again.“
“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.“
“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.....“
“One of the better Pizza places in Cleveland. Great parking with Handicap access. They also have Fish selections for lent. I am definitely going back for anyone pie soon!Vegetarian options: There were vegetarian selections. Especially with the pizzas.Parking: Lots of parking in the back, and wheelchair win the front.Kid-friendliness: I saw several families with children. I didn’tPay attention as to a child’s selection on the menu, but what kid doesn’t love pizza?Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel chair access available.“
“Amazing food. Old school vibes. Entered through the back. Fresh good bread and tomato’s!It’s a 5 star but giving a 4 only cause it’s cash only and had to walk to get cash at the gas station couple blocks away. 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.“
“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!!!“
“We had a great experience at Piccolo! We found it online because we were in the area and looking for an Italian restaurant, and it didn't disappoint! I ordered the chicken parmesan and it was delicious and the portion size was huge! My husband ordered pizza and he loved it as well! Our server was excellent despite the restaurant being busy! We had a wonderful experience!“
“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...“
“We came from St Louis, Mo to visit family and we had dinner at the bistro. Gino and his staff are fantastic! The food is exquisite! I had the Chilean Sea Bass and it melted in my mouth! We also had the meatballs, lemon chicken, lasagne, veal, and of course the ice cream!! If I was allowed to give 10 stars I would! Thank you Gino!!“
“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.“
“Intimate dining room with chic decor, but the food equals it! Everything I've had here is delicious. I love the pastas. Wine and alcohol are served. Extremely efficient and friendly staff. Take out available. Their house salad that comes with the pastas is large and filling, topped with cheese. And the house salad dressing is tasty and not overpowering. The menu has lots of options.Wheelchair accessibility: Probably tough. A ramp out front but the entrance is narrow. Restrooms are in basement and accessible by narrow stairs.“
“Vero has expanded- same great pizza in a stylish setting. Service is great, and they’re good with kids- high chairs are available. Cleveland has a fantastic pizza scene and Vero is at the top.Vegetarian options: They have pizza that appeals to vegans and vegetarians.Kid-friendliness: They have high chairs and the team was kid-friendly.“
“OMG I hadn't been there in years & it's still as wonderful as always. When I opened the door and smelled the awesome food a million wonderful memories came flooding back! Their bread is amazing! My Husband had the Italian wedding soup which is a very hearty soup! You definitely have to try it! The salads were fresh with excellent dressings. My husband had the house dressing and he was very impressed. I had the blue cheese and it was as tasty as I remembered! Then I got my favorite, spaghetti with mushrooms! It was even better than I remembered! My husband had veal piccata with the side of spaghetti that was the size of a main meal at other restaurants! We ended up bringing lots of food home!Dietary restrictions: Lots of gluten free options!Kid-friendliness: When my family would dine here the kids loved it! And they were very accommodating!!Wheelchair accessibility: Totally accessible for wheelchairs.“
“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!“
“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!“
“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.“
“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!!“
“Congin's is not only close but their pizzas are consistently great. My most recent pizza today was a knocked outta the park MASTERPIECE of flavor and baking skills. A PERFECT pizza!! Worth every dollar for food and a generous tip to their hardworking delivery peeps. THANK YOU. :“
“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“
“Bar Italia continues to be a family favorite. My wife and I love to eat at the bar when it’s the two of us. And our adult kids enjoy coming with us always. The food is tremendous and we love many things on the menu. The wine selection is also very good.“
“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.“
“Some of the best Italian food in the city. It's small and cozy but when you sit down, you're sitting at their dinner table on a Sunday afternoon.It's an experience you have to have. Outstanding food, incredible service and reasonable prices.It's a must!“
