“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!“

“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!“

“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’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!“

“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. Many said it was the best food they have had at a wedding. Mario gave us exactly what we asked for and elevated his food with the love he has for cooking. I HIGHLY recommend Mario as he is top notch and was worth every penny. Thanks for making our day even more special!!!🤩❤“

“I can't say enough good things. I've been twice, both the eggplant parm and shrimp fratello blew me away. Prices are very reasonable, portions are great, and the service is just as memorable and outstanding as the food. Ambiance is very cozy and inviting, great for a date night or a larger dinner with family and friends.“

“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 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.“

“A nice, tiny and cosey Italian restaurant
A reservation is a must
I had the salmon pistachio, it wasn't the best
Owner is pretty friendly
The table I was given(right by the bar/chemine)should be removed from the settings. Staff was constantly kicking my jacket and you feel grounded for sitting there.“

“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!“

“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.“

“The food is always fresh and delicious!“

“First time at Corso's restaurant. The 3 of us could not have been happier with the this restaurant. We had calamari for an app, absolutely delicious! Main course came hot and the portions are plentiful. Best stuffed flounder I've ever had! AND, our server Trina (not sure of spelling) was the absolute BEST server EVER! Will be back soon! One small critique..........better Italian bread!“

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

“Been to this location a couple of times within the last let's say 2 months food was great service was pretty good the first time I felt like this last time which was Saturday October 11th when I had brought up the fact that I think that the Dr pepper needed to be changed I was kind of looked at like I was a little bit of a nut job and then was presented with a Dr pepper that tasted just like Dr pepper other than that food is always really good and atmosphere is great“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Awesome experience. The owner is very friendly and professional!!“

“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 😍“

“We had gift cards, so we stopped in for dinner on our way home from the I-X Center. I had the soup, salad, and breadsticks, which was perfect. The Minestrone soup was really good, and even though my husband had soup instead of salad with his entree, our waiter still brought us the large salad bowl. I would definitely have that as my meal again. My husband raved about his Tour of Italy entree“

“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!“

She was awesome as there was 6 of us and she immediately connected with what/when we were ready to order and made suggestions when we asked. It was getting quite crowded with the table next to us but she never delayed in serving us. She deserves a salute!!“
