“We recently celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary at Aticas’ Italian restaurant in Avon. The job that Erin, did in making the arrangements for our 17 guests in their private room went well beyond our expectations. Celia, the waitress did an outstanding job serving both the adult and children's menu requests. The staff on a whole made sure that the day would be special for us. The Arancini on their antipasti menu were exceptional as were any of the Secondi dishes. We would happily return and would highly recommend the restaurant to others.“

“This was such a cutie restaurant for me and my friends to come to. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was cute, classy, and welcoming, and our waitress, Jenna, was outstanding and a pleasure to be around! Thank you Bar Italia for an amazing experience.“

“It's a chipotle version of build your own meal you start off with the portion container you want choose a pasta, sauce and protein and then go down the line adding vegetables, onions, cheese other sauces or do a specialty order from the menu or different meat cooked how you want. A friend of mine got a Salad ? said it was awesome. I haven't tried one yet and they have cheesey ? it's called another name it's rectangular shape. Pretty good.“

“My company hired this food truck for a complimentary lunch for all of it employees. The menu was limited but everything was delicious. I had pasta with alfredo sauce and grilled chicken. Although I was getting full, I couldn't stop eating, it was so tasty.“

“Outstanding today! I typically only get the soup salad and breadstick lunch. But it is always more than enough food. And for under $10 you really can beat that for lunch instead of going to McDonald's or Wendy's or Burger King and spending 10 or 12 bucks on the combo that's not even good food.“

“The pizza was delicious, fresh and hot. The staff was very nice, friendly and professional.“

“Absolutely love doing our celebrations at LockKeepers! We've celebrated our Birthdays and anniversaries here through the years and it was always such a wonderful experience each time! Jackie was the best server! She really took good care of us and made sure we were happy during and after our meals. She's absolutely the best server one can ever hope for! We always had a very good gastronomic experience here at LockKeepers! Definitely coming back soon to celebrate more milestones! Thank you! Keep up the great work that you do! 👍“

“Fantastic restaurant! A true gem of Cleveland. The Freddie's Pasta is by my favorite and their martinis are delicious. Echoing other comments, while the menu is a bit pricey you get good sized portions. Another perk is that a lot of their dishes can be made gluten free. Overall, a great, cozy atmosphere and excellent service... this is one of my favorite places to go for a special occasion.“

“Offers everything you want in a great dining experience from the staff, food and atmosphere! I have found many proprietors in the area frequent this spot on a regular basis. That speaks volumes! "Flour" has such a "Cheers" like environment thanks to the owners!!! Youfeel welcomed when you enter and upon leaving, you anticipate your next visit! ?“

“Let me tell you we ate there last night for first time. It was BY FAR NO COMPARISON to anything I have ever had or experienced. Not only was the lasagna the best I’ve ever had. EVERYTHING about the whole experience from the valet staff, to the server, to the owner. Top notch. Will be coming back (from Toledo, Ohio) to Cleveland just for this. If you live in the area, or are visiting Cleveland. YOU MUST GO HERE. You won’t be disappointed.“

“Visiting from Maryland, and read good reviews about Danspot. Glad we came. Dinner was fantastic. I had the Shrimp Piccatta, and my wife had Pipette pesto pasta with chicken. Both were outstanding. And our server Jake, was wonderful. Friendly and attentive. If you're in the area of the MGM Northfield, be sure to stop at Danspot. You will be glad you did.“

“Concerto is our favorite place to eat in the MGM Casino. The food is served hot and it is very delicious. A very good alternative to the other restaurants in the casino. All of their food is good and the serving sizes are just enough to fill our appetites.“

“Had the BEST pizza in years here today. I will be back! AWESOME“

“I enjoyed the food it was absolutely delicious“

“We went to Alfredo’s for the first time last weekend, and we both ordered the clambake with roasted chicken. The meal was superb! This was the best roasted chicken ever, and the clams were sweet and tender. Also, the clam chowder was wonderful. Service was prompt, friendly, and professional. The restaurant was clean and cozy (we sat in a barrel table). We look forward to going back to this hidden gem of a restaurant to try more food! Highly recommend.“

“Amazing service, delicious food plus gluten free options. Will def be back“

“Wonderful food. All pastas we’ve tried have been superb. However, not great takeout experience - several times have arrived home, unpacked order and found items missing (bread, salads, dressing). Make them check the order before you leave. Otherwise, highly recommended.“

“Excellent food. Excellent service. Our waitress was super friendly and managers were hands-on working with the rest of the staff. Highly recommend.“

“Had the Italian sub and a slice of sausage pizza both were FANTASTIC!! Can’t beat the price either worth every penny!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“After looking into every restaurant in little Italy we ended up choosing borgata bar and we are so happy we did! Everything was amazing. The owner and staff were wonderful the food was delicious. Everything was just perfect.“

“Another Road-Trip pizza review!! Ordered an 8-cut pepperoni and sausage. Took 40 mins on a Friday night (pretty normal). The pizza sauce was savory, the dough was tasty and the crust was crunchy, sausage was normal, the pepperoni was their downfall in the rating... I think the whole pizza had 16 prices (not joking with 2 each slice). But the atmosphere was spectacular!! I don't think you can take it all in with one visit!! We will be back, but they really need to work on that pepperoni issue 😁“

“Best pizza in town!“

“There are a lot of great, independently owned pizza joints in the Cleveland area. Romito's is a prime example. I would place them in my personal top 5. The sauce has great tomato character and is not too sweet. The cheese is ample and well baked. The sausage is hand pinched, and the crust is nice and hearty. I would suggest Romito's to anyone I know.“
