50 Best Italian Restaurants near Bedford Heights

“Best pizza in town!“

“The bartenders are shifty asf. They only cater to the regulars. They need to start paying more attention to all the customers. Very ghetto and tacky for that fact.“

“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! 👍“

“Simply the best pizza I've ever had. Superior toppings, great crust and consistent excellence for decades now. I find it unreasonable for me to go anywhere else.“

“My Favorite Italian Restaurant in town! Best food, wine, service and great atmosphere! Omg and did I mention desert ?! The most delicious! Valerio & Stella go above and beyond for their customers which they treat as a family! Highly recommend A +“

“This was the best dinner we have ever had and it is in Little Italy which makes it even better. Thank you for a great dinner with family and friends. We all loved everything we ordered. The server was great and other servers refilled water/beverages, nice team service environment.“

“I want to say thank you, thank you, thank you to Ethan and his staff for doing such an absolutely amazing job at my daughter's wedding this past weekend. Ethan is the best! He is a pleasure to work with, he knows his job and does it very well. The servers were so kind and worked so hard while keeping a smile on their faces at all times. And the food...it was incredible. I am a picky Italian when it comes to Italian food and Alesci's has some of the best Italian food in Cleveland. Everything tasted fresh, homemade and authentic and my guests LOVED the food which makes me that much happier. This is the second wedding that Alesci's catered for me. I have 2 more kids to marry off and will no doubt be calling on Alesci's again! 5 stars on all accounts.“

“This place was awesome. Service, food and ambiance just what you’d expect in Little Italy. I had fusilla (spellcheck) puntenesca excellent!! We will be back.“

“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.“

“great food and vibe.m.want more!!!“

“The food is always fresh and delicious!“

“Great Food, Great Location, Friends, and Heritage“

“We had my birthday celebration there. Let me tell you, the experience was just beautiful. There were 16 of us, and they catered to our every need. The serving staff was patient, and very thorough. They were so attentive, and made certain we were very well taken care of. THE FOOD! Man oh man. That food was the bomb. I think everyone had something different, and we are all still talking about how good it was! I recommend you have dinner with them. You will not regret it. It’s a whole vibe! ❤️❤️“

“The food is absolutely delicious!“

“The best food in the world, the best martinis in the world world, the best, the best, the best, the best the best lemon drops ever“

“First time here, and it was fabulous.
Food was good prices were good and service was the bomb. The hostess / barmaid / server was personable and on her game. Shout out to he as she made our visit there perfect. Couldn't have asked for more.“

“My first visit to this Italian restaurant today - I ordered carry out …my chicken parm was sooo delicious my compliments to the chef…I will tell all my friends and relatives about this amazing restaurant! I will definitely be back!“

“Their pizza really is a thing of magic. The sauce is delicious… ingredients are high quality. Like when you compare this to most pizzas out there, you can see this is the best around. When we need a week-day pizza party, this is the place to go.“

“Our favorite family restaurant. The best in little Italy, hands down. we've been coming here for decades and it never disappoints. Angelo & his staff are top notch.“

“Tried Cuoco Bello for my first time tonight and it was delicious! I ordered the chicken parm for carry out and it was flavorful, a large portion size, and better than I had anticipated 😊 Just what I was looking for in a great meal! The staff was friendly and I can't wait to go back and try something else! Also, they have weekly specials so definitely check those out too! Highly recommend! 🍝“

“The food and service were wonderful. There's many selections and I'd recommend the eggplant meatballs. The Caesar salad was wonderful and we were able to add anchovies. My wife ordered muscles that were cooked perfectly. I had the fish of the day. “

“No other better place! The staff is top notch and the ambiance is one of a kind! The food is remarkable!“

“Wonderful sweet sauce! Huge portions!“

“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.“

“We stopped by this restaurant based on high recommendation of having great food. It may have great food, but quality service is lacking. After being seated for nearly 20 minutes and not having a waiter stop by to even ask for our drinks, I decided to walk to the host. Our server had apparently forgotten about us. Prior to this, I saw and waved at the manager, who clearly saw me, but who, instead, ignored me. By dessert time, one of us ordered key lime pie and was incorrectly given cheesecake. This time, it took nearly 15 minutes to get the key lime pie. Although I have to say the food/dessert were delicious, we were very disappointed with the service. This place should have it, but it was not there.“

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

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

“I enjoyed the food it was absolutely delicious“

“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.“

“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.“

“Husband had meatball sandwich-no leftovers. I had the cheese ravioli-wanted to try something different. Not a fan of this selection-wish they had meat ravioli. Server very prompt and pleasant. Have enjoyed weeknight specials. nice place to take friends for dinner.“

“I’m going to start by saying the food was incredible. The chicken parm was fantastic and the marinara was really good. I didn’t expect angel hair but it was perfect and not clumpy as it can easily be. The bolognese was flavorful and done very well. If I’m nitpicking maybe the rigatoni was a minute over cooked but my wife didn’t notice. The bread and butter that came out was fresh and the butter was really good. It had something going on that I couldn’t figure out. Maybe garlic pimento or something. Whatever it was it was great. The meatball appetizer we got for happy hour was flavorful and awesome as well. But why 4 stars? The service is average at best. You can tell they need help and are trying to get by. The bartender was super nice but was way out of her depth and couldn’t keep up. She had like 4 tables and the entire bar. In her defense she said she was new and had a lot of tables so if the service was slow she was sorry in advance. I did appreciate that. Finally the price… as crazy delicious as all the food was, it still feels overpriced. 3 small meatballs are a $16 appetizer. The chicken parm was $32. That’s $5-$10 more than what you’ll find anywhere in little Italy and $3 more than Il Venetian downtown which is also high end Italian. TreBelle 10 mins away in bath is also nice Italian and their parm is $26 with a salad and garlic bread. All that being said. It’s really good, I’ll likely come back. But it’s one of the more expensive italian places I’ve seen in the area so plan accordingly.“

“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 😁“

“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.“

“Let me start with the service. I was here to pick up an order I placed online of 3 pizzas. I'm giving 3 stars because I came in and stood at the counter waiting to be acknowledged at least 3 minutes. The only other customer there was sitting down. Workers were present and actively working and made eye contact with me just didn't voice or offer a hand signal of like "we'll be right with you" or "just 1 sec" or something along those lines. That's it. Will it stop me from coming back? Not unless I see this as a pattern. Maybe it was a 1 off.
The pizzas were great. My personal favorite is the pepperoni and sausage. My guests loved the veggie pizza. No complaints whatsoever on food. I usually eat only pepperoni pizza but at this place, it's something about the pepperoni/sausage pizza that makes my stomach smile.“

“Great food. A little on the noisy side. Popular spot.“

“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.“

“My fiancé and I want to thank the entire staff at Vero for an AMAZING experience! The pizza is by far some of the best pizza I have ever had in 40+ years! I will gladly come back from NJ to eat here again! My compliments to the Chef and the staff. We now have a home away from home. As we Italians say GRAZIE TANTE! 🇮🇹🙏“

“Simply the best pizza I've ever had. Superior toppings, great crust and consistent excellence for decades now. I find it unreasonable for me to go anywhere else.“

“The best pizza in Ohio!“
