“After a quick trip to Dillard's, Cynthia and I headed to Chatty's Pizzeria to try their pizza. WOW is all I can say! Their food is delicious and they are quite hospitable! We enjoyed the tomato and basil pizza and a large house salad, too. We had the vegan mushroom roll and cheese bread. The dipping sauce that accompanied both was a homemade tomato and basil puree. Everything was perfect here. We'd highly recommend Chatty's Pizzeria.“

“My boyfriend saw a video on Facebook about another customer doing a review and shared it to me and we both agreed we had to try this place…. Did NOT disappoint!!! I had the BLT and he had the chef’s choice wraps. Mine had a bunch of flavor to the sauce. It was really good He said his was spicy not too spicy. We both had the cannoli chips and OMG!!!!! Soo good. Very dangerous 😉! You will get hooked!! We will be back!“

“If I could give a higher rating than 5 stars I would. Ross and Mike were absolutely AMAZING to work with for our event. We had our Grand Opening at Skyline on Stokes and we had less than 4 weeks to put this together. Ross was so accommodating and was able to work it into their schedule even though they had already had another event that day. The customer service from the Staff was EXCEPTIONAL, the food was fantastic as well as the set up in the room, the drinks were amazing. They were able to accommodate specialty drinks that we requested and helped give us the ideas for and there was another full bar outside. They were able to provide a full execution of everything we asked for in such a little time frame. Thank you Ross and Mike for making the night a success! We will recommend your services to anyone and we hope to do business with you again. Thank you“

“I ordered angel hair pasta with marinara sauce & shrimp. The sauce was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. I had take out & could smell its deliciousness before even opening the container. I could eat a vat of the sauce. This was my first visit & it won't be my last. I highly recommend this hidden gem.“

“We had Mario cater our small wedding last week. He went above and beyond to make the our guests happy with his delicious food! All of our guests raved about the dinner provided for them.

I HIGHLY recommend Mario as he is top notch and was worth every penny. Thanks for making our day even more special!!!🤩❤“

“Food was good, wine delicious. Server was short with us and matter of fact. Restaurant is very small but pleasant. However, when we went to order an entre later in our dinner service we were told they couldn't because they needed the table in an hour. We decided not to stay for dessert.“

“Almost perfect every time!
Wonderful food and WARM CRUSTY BREAD.
Usually, we have to ask for cocktail napkins...lol...first world problems... otherwise, we love going there.
Veal Fratello and Shrimp Fratello are our favorites.
Also... the Calamari.“

“Stopped in to try and ordered the lunch special with 2 tenders with Carolina BBQ sauce and Tilapia. Lunch had generous portions for $7.99. Next time ill order a head because they make everything on the spot! Very good food and service. I will definitely be going back! Also very friendly owners“

“I’d like to keep this the best kept secret, but the tomahawk veal Marsala is, hands down, the finest meal I have ever eaten on Cleveland! Combine this with a cozy atmosphere, a friendly and efficient staff, and there’s no need to go anywhere else for an incredible meal!“

“As always, food was stellar. Apps were great, bread was excellent, dinner were great.“

“Great food, great service and great knowledge and communication from the server to the kitchen staff about which options are gluten free. Many places make you feel like a burden when questioning the menu due to your dietary needs. Everyone there made me feel they were happy to answer questions and address the issue. I cannot say enough good things about the experience.“

“A very elegant atmosphere. Our server was very attentive but not overbearing. I will probably be comparing other Italian restaurants quality to Stino's. the food was fabulous. I will come back next time I am in Cleveland.“

“Delicious unpretentious food and great staff!“

“Superb meal and great atmosphere. It was wonderful meeting Carmella and her niece for the first time. I really enjoyed our conversation. Looking forward to dining there again!“

“New Favorite Italian Spot! We came here for my brother’s rehearsal dinner, and wow—Matteo’s absolutely blew us away! My husband and I loved everything we had: the lemon chicken was tender and flavorful, the Alfredo cavatelli was creamy perfection, and the sausage and meatballs were just incredible. Honestly, I can’t even pick a favorite—they were all that good. The bread and butter? Probably the best we’ve ever had. The cozy, old-town vibe of the location just added to the charm, and the service was top-notch. You can really feel the care and warmth of a true mom-and-pop Italian place. We’ve officially found our new go-to spot. If you’re a fan of Italian food and great hospitality, do yourself a favor and check out Matteo’s!“

“Great food and service! Very enjoyable atmosphere! Large portions highly recommend!!!“

“Delicious unpretentious food and great staff!“

“Ordered chicken parmigiana for a birthday party, it’s was amazing! Chicken was so tender and juicy!!“

“Stopped in at Olive Garden and had a great experience! The Italian Margarita was excellent — smooth, refreshing, and so good it could be dangerous if they served it by the pitcher. For dinner, I ordered the Shrimp and Chicken Carbonara, which was flavorful and hearty. The Chicken Gnocchi Soup hit the spot, and of course, you can’t go wrong with their classic salad and breadsticks. Everything came out fresh, the service was friendly, and I left full and happy. Definitely a solid visit!“

“Went there today with my husband and baby and we had the BEST time! The food, drinks, service, and atmosphere was amazing! Can’t wait to come back! ❤️“

“Food is excellent!! And our waitress was on the ball..great service!!“

“It took us a long time to try Barbarians but it is now our favorite. My husband likes the Lasagna. I like the Chicken Francaise... Delicious! I tried the Cajun Chicken Penne and that is my new favorite! Great place!“

“Highly recommend! Delicious Pizza and great options if you don’t feel like pizza. Try their wings or cheesy fries! Yumm. Fast and good service as well!“

“DO NOT RECOMMEND! Horrible service for mediocre food. Refused an individual with vision issues adequate utensils to eat. The employees are rude, ignorant, and discriminatory (ring a bell Sean?!). I would NOT recommend this dump to my worst enemy. Avoid this place at all costs. Seems the owner only allows “recommendations” and “positive reviews”-no way to give a poor review…interesting tactic.“

“American owned business with fair prices,good food and friendly service. What more could you want? Comfortable atmosphere and is on the cozy side. Visit and see for yourself. God Bless.“

“We ordered from Dante's today for the first time and let me tell you The pizza was perfect. And the Buffalo wings, barbecue wings OMG Absolutely absolutely amazing ...We will be ordering again to try other items thank you 😍“

“Heard about Forte Pi from friend about great chicken tenders and fresh, organic food. We ordered carry out "make your own" pepperoni pizza with mushrooms, chicken tenders and salad shaker. Everything was superb! Two tenders is enough for four people. Pizza crust amazing, thin and light. Lemon salad dressing fresh and light. Shared feast with view of Lake Erie. Friendly service with explanation of all menu options. Will definitely be back.“

“We came in with quite a big party after church on Sunday August 17th. They were very accommodating and very nice and super helpful. We had a couple different servers helping us they were all wonderful. I only caught Mollie’s name but the other young ladies were just as great!“

“A group of us traveled from Wooster to the IX center for the auto show and wanted to try a local pizza place. Sauced was recommended by a lady in the Ohio pizza fanatics page, what a great recommendation! Very good pie, some of the best I ever had. The staff were very friendly, the wait time to receive our food was minimal. They have a few tables set up inside for dine in and a drink cooler with soda and water, so perfect if you wanna dine in. I got a pie with pepperoni, sausage, and ricotta cheese, absolutely banging 🤌🏻 the breadsticks were great also and come with red sauce to dip them in. Overall great experience and will be making more trips to this location!“

“Excellent pizza! The pizza and the ingredients are always well made and fresh. The pizza still tastes like it did years ago. It is delicious! The people are friendly as well. We normally go to the Denison one but it was closed and we really wanted our pizza place.“

“My waitress Alexis was the best! I ordered the Salmon entree and it was so delicious! The bread and oil were the best I’ve ever tasted! This was my first visit and I’ll go back!“

“I was in tonight with family for dinner and service was good. I only had one problem, I ordered the chicken Alfredo and was not happy with it at all. I have had it before and was very good and tonight it was not. when I asked if it was Alfredo sauce she said yes. then asked me if I liked it and said it was okay. few seconds later the cook came over and asked and I said something was different and she told me it was from a bag. she said they would remake it and I said no if it is the same sauce and she said no they would make it homemade. not sure why was not done the first time.. crazy after all that the Alfredo came back and it was good. so hopefully they keep it, because I like the food..“
