Within a minute of being seated our server had our drink order and returned with them. Appetizers ordered: Hot sausage stuffed peppers These weee absolutely awesome. Served with peppers and onions with a light marinara. Menu says “spicy”; they are medium hot but amazing flavor Artichoke The couple with us ordered these ?breadcrumb” battered and fried portion. Also sauced in hous made marinara. Entrees ordered: chicken parm, spaghetti marinara, scallops and pasta. All were tremendous! Our server Martha was spot on with everything, meal was very nicely paced. I spoke with the gentleman in charge to compliment him on his food and staff. This was our first visit but definitely not our last! This is a definite 10/10.“

Definite must do for our family!“

“This resturant is very good. Waitresses are expedient and good. The food is very good. Wide selection for italian restaurant. Very romantic setting for date night. They only take people by reservation preferably. Getting in without one, is next to impossible.“

“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.“

“I had the pleasure of meeting the team from Italian Creations last night at a wedding at Lake Effect Studios. As a professional DJ, I have had lots of wedding food. I have to say, everything was excellent. From the salad bowl with a tasty balsamic dressing to the spaghetti vodka. If you are looking for authentic home cooked Italian food, look no further. You will not be disappointed. 10/10“

“This is our new favorite restaurant after having driven by it for over for ten years and only today finally taking the plunge (you simply must get a reservation except on the most dull weeknights)!

The recipes are stunningly good and their execution is simply top-rate. The table service was excellent, very professionally done! The environment is great too! the desserts are superbly executed as well, to include the house-made gelato!

The only thing anyone could honestly complain about is the cost: it’s expensive, but everything of highest quality is, so the value is still very high in our opinion.

We won’t be eating here too often, but it is now squarely our favorite restaurant in northeastern Ohio!“

“Vito is a hottie“

“Staff was nice, food was delicious and food was fast. The best place I’ve eaten in awhile!“

“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!!!🤩❤“

“Amazing food and staff!!! They go above and beyond for their guests! Beautiful and elegant atmosphere!“

“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“

“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.“

“Delicious unpretentious food and great staff!“

“My husband and I popped in for dinner after he arrived home from a family event. We wanted a date night after being away from one another for several days/nights. It was our first time. I sent him the menu as he boarded his plane and he was looking forward to a “new spot”. It did not disappoint. We were attended to from the time we sat down until after we tabbed out. We tried several dishes to get an idea of their style of cooking. The prosciutto melted in our mouths.. the ricotta was extremely creamy and bread from Breadsmith? DELISH. The Italian wedding soup was delicious, the pig n’ fig pizza was excellent (kudos on the dough and crust!), the spicy vodka rigate was on point! Not too spicy.. just that perfect amount of crushed red pepper in the sauce. The wine list was an extensive and our servers (we love to sit at the bar) was top notch! (Forgive me because I’m bad with names but I believe they were Alyssa and Jackie?) it is now on our list of must return spots. They were jamming for a Wednesday night. We initially sat at the rail bar but a couple waved in our direction to let us know they were leaving in a few minutes. If you’re looking for a quiet, romantic spot, it’s not quiet but it doesn’t echo, either. The details are beautiful, the artwork is pleasant to the eye and it was a perfect romantic date night spot for us. One of the better Italian spots in the area. Kudos and thank you for a great evening! Oh. P.S. the 12 month prosciutto with ricotta “primi” is definitely enough to share with 4 people. lol. So good!“

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

“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.“

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

“Went to Pepper’s for the first time and I have to say it was the best experience! From the service to the apps to the food to the drinks it was just phenomenal! Will absolutely be back!“

“Great and warm atmosphere , the staff are very friendly. The food never disappoints. Highly recommend going there or doing take out !“

“Delicious unpretentious food and great staff!“

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

“My wife and I just had dinner at Bianca's. The owner was working pretty much by herself. She only had someone working with her in the kitchen. The gentleman at the next table jumped in and was seating people, giving them menus and silverware. It turned out that it was like one big happy family, fellowship and chipping in to help each other. Kudos to Debbie (the owner), great food and great service taking care of all that were there !!!!!“

“Great Italian specialties. The sandwich’s were delicious! I had the Roast beef sandwich , my husband had the Italian. We also had the Wedding Soup, what a treat!!! Authentic and flavorful! The Maritozzi’s were the most delicious sweet I have had in a long time! The staff is super friendly, they treated me like family! Definitely coming back here again soon!“

“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!“

“First time there, can’t wait to return. Everyone was friendly, good service, great food reasonably priced. ?“

“We recently had a wedding rehearsal dinner reserved at Aldo’s for about 25 attendees. The food was more than excellent and the service was wonderful. We had great communication and coordination with the owner and the event went very smoothly with quick service. We ended up going back a couple of days later for one more meal before leaving Cleveland. We will be back again the next time we are in the area.“

“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!“

“Stopped at the aloha pop up bar, was so cute. Food and drinks were good. Our waitress was new but did an amazing job,“
