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! 👍“

“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.“

I enjoyed the lobster and shrimp pasta and I taated the eggplant parm and it was also great. Can’t go wrong here and will be back soon for sure!!“

“great food and vibe.m.want more!!!“

“The food was very good. I was a bit surprised that they don't grate fresh cheese here (and instead provide a shaker) since even Olive Garden does that. Also, the potstickers come in orders of four, which seemed stingy. Service was a bit lackluster. Our server had an attitude in particular; she left us hanging twice and muttered things under her breath walking past our table. And they were out of the dessert special that they offered us.

The food outweighed the lackluster service. Would recommend.“

“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!“

“Food and service were excellent. I recommend.“

“I have had the pleasure of ordering from here since they have opened. The specials lately have been phenomenal love the change up! I ordered the Firebird Sandwich and The Pickled Pig Pizza, amazing I hope they keep both. Also always order the focaccia bread, you won’t be disappointed.“

“🌟 A Meal to Remember – Thank You for Making It Special 🌟 After finishing my last round of chemo, we wanted to mark the occasion with something meaningful(a good meal shared with my husband). We chose Guarino's in Little Italy, and it turned out to be the perfect! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcomed and cared for. They didn’t just serve us food — they gave us an experience filled with warmth, kindness, and that meant more than words can express. My lasagna and my husband's spaghetti and meatballs were absolutely delicious! The atmosphere was calm and inviting, just what we needed after such a long and emotional day. Thank you to everyone for taking care of us! Your hospitality and excellent food turned a simple lunch into something truly memorable. We will never forget your kindness! We’ll definitely be back, this time to celebrate health and new beginnings!“

“The food is always fresh and delicious!“

“This was really really good pizza. Like really good. The wait staff was attentive and the owner came to visit as well and asked if we were ok. We also got the fried rice balls which were recommended...and were awesome. We loved the place. We watched the Indians play on the big screen and listened to non obnoxious music. Yess!“

“Cute well-established restaurant! They are very courteous and friendly. Katie was my bartender and she was super helpful in recommending vegetarian dishes on the menu—amazing service! Nice group of regular folks that made me feel welcome and invited.“

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! 🍝“

“I heard good things about this place so I came to check it out. I was seated instantly on a Friday night which was extremely busy. My food came out literally 5 minutes after I ordered. I had the lamb rigitoni and it was amazing. Sierra was my server and she was polite and efficient. Will definitely be coming back.“

“I ordered the spicy vodka pasta and it was delicious! My mom ordered the salad and that was also very good.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Food was pretty good. The service was excellent. They did a massive remodel to this place almost unrecognizable compared to what it used to be. Kinda miss the old nostalgic look it had but either way it looks very good in there. The pizza is excellent here 🍕“

“The red headed black male chef that served me today was condescending and rude. I was expecting great service since he was the chef and only two people in front of me. He was too busy correcting me on menu item names to make my order correctly. This location needs better service from the chef. No napkins and 2 forks left at the drink station that needs cleaning as well.

Went back 12/11 and had a wonderful experience with a different chef, Chef Geovanni. He was kind and efficient. I’ve updated my review based on that!“

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

“Went for the 1st time today, and met some friends we have not seen in a while. The service was exceptional, food was delicious, atmosphere was delightful. Our server went above and beyond mentioning to her manager that we were meeting friends we do not get to see often, and surprised us with a glass of champagne so we could do a toast. we will definitely be back. Thank You for making our gathering extra special. Two of the couple drove an hour and fourty minutes to be there, and well worth it.“

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

“The best pizza in Ohio!“

“📍 Deanatella’s Italian Deli – Valley View, OH 🧀🍕🥖 A true hidden gem that screams classic Italian deli the second you walk in. If you can name the deli meat, trust us—they’ve got it. Shelves packed, fridges loaded, and a full lineup of Coke products to wash it all down. We stop here 2–3 times a month, and for good reason. The food never misses. Here's what we had today: 🍕 Pepperoni Pizza – 8.1/10 Hot, fresh, and loaded with flavor. A crustless, center-cut slice of cheesy joy. No edge, no problem—it hits hard where it counts. 🍕 Sausage Pizza – 8.4/10 Same amazing base, but the sausage takes it up a notch. Big, juicy chunks of sausage packed with flavor. Definitely the MVP slice today. 🌶️ Mild Pepper Sub – 9.2/10 This one’s my go-to. Not super spicy, but absolutely loaded with flavor. The combo of peppers, melty cheese, and rich sauce makes for one giant, unforgettable sandwich. Perfect from the first bite to the last. The staff? Always friendly. The vibes? All Italian. If you’re anywhere near Cleveland, do yourself a favor and stop by Deanatella’s. You’ll thank yourself later. 🍽️ Two food lovers, one page—justifying our epic food binges, one bite at a time.

“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.“

“This is a great, local, family owned restaurant. By far, they make the best meatballs I've found anywhere. The pizza is great too with fresh toppings and a wonderful style of sausage. We like to dine in - the dining room is nostalgic- it has atmosphere.“

“We drive from Madison to visit this Geraci's location. The staff is always friendly and the food is amazing. The homemade Geraci's sauce with pasta and a slice of pizza is always my go to. The price is very reasonable, especially compared other Italian restaurants.“

“Food is 10/10, staff is very friendly.“

“Best pizza around... Love the medium thin crust!!!!!“

“In the mood for pizza and found Romito's. Ordered a white pizza with chicken. The crust was just the right thickness good coverage of Chicken and cheese. The taste was very good, loves it and even went back a second day to get another one. Place to try if you enjoy pizza.“

“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! 🇮🇹🙏“
