50 Best Italian Restaurants near Berea

“Have come here a few times now and it's absolutely amazing! Great atmosphere and the food is amazing! Our waitress was wonderful! And the drinks were delicious! I've tried something different every time and am always amazed! 10/10 would recommend!“

“We regularly order from the Bagley location but this time we had a different experience. My husband fell with the pizza and was stuck in the doorway. Your driver, I think Brian stayed there to help him as much as he could. He stayed and called 911 and stayed until the rescue squad came. He could have just left, but he took it upon himself to stay until the squad got him loaded in. He deserves a special for going the extra mile. This happened on Dec. 1 at 24783 Riverview Dr. in Columbia Station. What an employee!!Sandy Heidecker“

“Started with my favorite Italian wine, salad and duck, finished with tiramisu and cannoli delivered by Chef Rafael. Enjoyed attention of our waiter, swift but not obtrusive, and relaxed atmosphere of dining room. Every part of meal delicious and generous portions. Added plus was chat with Chef Rafael. You can tell he loves to feed and please his customers.“

“Had Joe De’s Brick Oven Pizza for the first time tonight and it is awesome! The crust is real crust and awesome pizza sauce, lots of toppings! I love the char on the crust from the oven! Thank you Catie McReynolds for introducing us to Joe De’s!!!“

“Difficult wheelchair accessibility; coming with a friend or calling the restaurant will be necessary.Excellent little mom & pop, family oriented Italian neighborhood meals. Prices that are extremely reasonable for the high quality of food, generous portions, a focused menu that still has a good selection, and good drinks selection. The veal is prepared very well!Wheelchair accessibility: A single step is required to get in the entrance. A ramp will be provided if a wheelchair is present, but the ramp is extremely short and nowhere close to ADA standards; a manual chair can make it work with assistance, but I recommend not coming in a power chair at all.“

“The bread and sauce that were brought to our table was perfect. I had the Turkish Pizza which tasted so fresh and vibrant. So unique! For dessert I had the kunefe. I highly recommend this restaurant. They even have a lunch menu that has the same great food! Our server was a young Turkish woman and she was wonderful. The atmosphere is very relaxing too. Highly recommended! Five stars!Parking: Big parking lot!“

“Since the first time I had Tripi, shortly after they opened, it has become an absolute staple in my Near West restaurant rotation. Everything on the menu is solid. If you’re a fan of Italian subs, the Papa Tony is quite possibly the best one I’ve ever had. The combo of the meat quality, muffuletta and the fresh giardiniera (which is insane) is pallet-changing. Eat here.“

“Recently discovered this little gem. My sister and I originally wanted to find some good wings around as the past few times we’ve ordered them from elsewhere we were not happy with the wings after delivery. We came across pizza fan on DoorDash and ordered the garlic parm and bbq wings. Omg they were PERFECT. So today we had to go back for more we couldn’t stop talking about these wings all day ? we decided to also try a chicken Philly to split. Again pizza fan did NOT disappoint. ? ? very very highly recommend. Service was great the store was clean the gentleman behind the counter were lovely. This is definitely a new favorite of ours. We will definitely be back again and again“

“Beaucoup Bucks at Bucci's. Prices were kinda high for quantity not necessarily for its quality. We had 14 person bday party on a Sunday afternoon. Pretty busy in there. Nice ambiance but really kinda loud probably since it's so tight in there. We had 2 servers, & were great. They let us bring our own cakes in & servers brought it out w/ candles so that was perfect. My Buccis burger was tasty & a large size. It only came w/ chips so I subbed salad for $3 so it was $17 which was a bit steep. The bruschetta was good but the toastinis were super hard - all crunch & no chew so it exploded as you bit it. Not many of us ate them therefore. Others got the French onion soup & calamari which were unfinished so not sure they loved em. The steak was reported good but a pretty penny. My two cousins next to me got 2 apps 2 entrees & 2 sodas and their bill was $90! Wow. Although the kids meal chicken tenders was huge & a great value. Nice place & good food w/ robust prices.“

“I like their pizza, garlic bread with cheese , Chix wings & meatballs. I just looked at their menu. I have never had anything from here I didn't like. Tenders - yum - poppers - yum - onion rings/mushrooms -yum . My one & only gripe is the size of the sausage on the pizza. Wish it was bigger pieces. The pizza here is that 70's style pies I grew up on. There are 6 pizza places 1.25 miles near/from my house. Athens wins out. I have not tried the pizza place in the old Uppercrust Pizza spot. You cannot go wrong at Athens Pizza for satisfying food.“

“Cafe Roma reminds me of an authentic restaurant in Italy. It is a family owned and run business that serves reasonably priced Italian dishes. The Cavalli and meatballs are excellent. The lasagna is enough for two people. They even have Italian cookies and Cannoli. This is one of Westpark hidden secrets!“

“Hands down best pizza I had ever had! Got the large speck pie there and small diavolo to go. Blown away! Great service by the staff and truly was worth the wait! Not one bad thing heard from people telling me about this place. Best advice I can give, there will be a wait but wait for it anyway. Got there around 45 mins after they opened and it was about an hour wait for 2. The wait is all worthwhile!“

“I recently had a party catered on 4/13/24 by the North Royalton location. I just want to start off by saying everything was great! From the time I ordered it a week prior and working with Tina, to the delivery service being on time and the food hot and ready. Wonderful service! People were raving about the food, especially the fried chicken. We were a little bit past their delivery area, but they still delivered to us. I would recommend Mama Julianne’s Pizza for everyday and catering needs!“

“We just had a private lunch here for my nephew’s 1st Communion and it was amazing! Crystal and Grace provided exceptional service, and the food was delicious! I would absolutely recommend coming here for any event or even just for dinner!“

“The food is amazing. I have had the lasagna, the meatballs, the Alfredo, and the pizza. all were so good and had a very authentic taste. the staff is very attentive and the owner works along side them and knows how to make the guests feel like family. Great atmosphere. Highly recommend.“

“Wow! This place is awesome. The food and service were top-notch. The atmosphere was spot on for a pizza place and very roomy and updated. We had the Philly Cheesesteak Pizza and tried a side of Pierogies. The pizza was phenomenal, and the Pierogies were very good. Everything is homemade, including their sauces, along with their bakery items. I look forward to returning to try the rest of their menu.“

“Excellent cannolli cake! Its a slice for two people.... Best value desert they have! Creamy, custurdy filling and moist cake layers. Topped with chocolate chips.... Gotta have that crunch! Sometimes i get a coffee or capicino with it. Their entrees are great too but...... All i ate was the cake on this visit. I highly recommend just about anything here. Enjoy!Dietary restrictions: Keto options possible..... but not with canoli cake“

“Phenomenal!!! Great ambiance, amazing food and the best service. We had a late date night dinner and truly enjoyed every aspect of Molto Bene. We shared the veal special and the shrimp penne dishes and both were to die for. Carlo is so friendly and attentive. We will absolutely be back and recommend this place to all our friends & family!“

“The pizza was really good and the toppings were really good! It's a solid 4.6 stars pizza place and was a good choice to stop! The crust was unique as it was a cross between a NY style crunch with a fluffier center pretty good. A must try! I think some after crust additions would be a great add in!“

“A little hidden gem in Avon Lake, Ohio. Friendly staff and polite hardworking employees everywhere you turn. We made reservations and they were accommodating. It’s a family friendly or date night kind of place. They have a small bar area up front with wine bottles every where, really cool vibes. The fresh bread and garlic butter are amazing. The Chicken Alfredo can easily feed 3-4 people, it’s HUGE! The grouper dish was good too. We had side of shrimp and calamari as well. Next time will save room for those delicious looking desserts. Clean and cozy spot!Parking: Parking lot upfront the restaurant.“

“Went here, for the very first time, and found out there were two other parties celebrating their's as well. Anyways, the food was outstanding and the service was great. You get a very generous portion that I doubt anyone can finish. Will plan on frequenting this establishment since it's only a mile and a half away from home.“

“The staff here is always polite and quick with curbside and take out options. Great deals all of the time and deals for local students. The food is always great the only variable is in the consistency of portions. Sometimes more than others regardless of how it was ordered. Always great though.“

“We did a catering with them for 60 people for the first time and won't be our last!Great food, service, reasonable price and food arrived fresh and on time.There was enough for everyone and plenty food leftThe Guac was really my favorite“

“We haven’t been in a few years, so we weren’t sure how it was gonna be. We sat at the bar area for happy hour. Our bartender Jody was so nice and attentive to us! The wine was so yummy and all the $7 bites were delicious!! Only thing I thought was a little skimpy was the shrimp app.. but We will be coming back for sure :)“

“A true Mom and Pop pizza shop. You walk in and it instantly gives off that vibe, that you know the food is about to be hitting differently. Just pick up an order and see for yourself. I'm happy to have discovered this place while walking, I never would've known about it otherwise, as it's basically hidden on Pearl Rd. You won't be disappointed, try a pie from this local gem.“

“Overall was great! We had a great server very helpful with our allergy! Sangria was very good and the martinis were excellent! We had bread service and it was amazing bread and dipping oil could have used garlic but overall okie! The wedding soup is definitely a meal in it self and very delicious! GARGANELLI DIAVOLO WITH SHRIMP( we got chicken) was very good and has a nice kick to it could use a lil more sauce but overall good! CHEF ANDY'S BUCATINI BOLOGNESE was another excellent choice! PESTO BUCATINI WITH CHICKEN this dish was good a lil smaller of portion but good choice if you don't like red sauce but you must be a pesto person! SPICY VODKA RIGATE was another amazing choice all served with more bread again excellently toasted! Definitely will be back!“

“So recently my boyfriend saw a video on Facebook reels and sent it to me and it made us instantly hungry! We decided to give it a try today and it didn’t disappoint!!I had the BLT and the sauce had so much flavor!!He had the chef’s choice and he said it had alittle spice to it. Both were good.The cannoli chips are dangerously good!!!We will be returning!!“

“My Wife and I went to Mahle's Friday the 22nd for our 38th wedding anniversary. because we were eating early we didn't think we would need reservations but upon arrival we were told that with the walk-ins they had and the reservations on the books they were full. We mentioned to Beverly that we had traveled a considerable distance, upon hearing that she found us a perfect spot in the corner of the back dining room. And as always the food and service was excellent.“

“One might described the venue as constricted as the dining spaces can be a bit tight. I found it cozy enough navigating the stairs to one of the dining areas on the upper level and sliding into a pew. Yes, a pew. Some of the booth seating has been repurposed from churches. Our server, Anna, who has been recognized from other reviews for her speedy service, was again on point with cheerful and expedient form. Our selections of chicken florentine and eggplant siciliano along with smooth Malbec and Moscato wines were tremendous. The accompanying pasta was perfectly al dente, which is often very hard to find in even the most traditional Italian eateries (mainly because it is precooked to mushiness). Great job and I recommend one gets there early because the place fills up and I can understand why. Would surely make a return trip.“

“This is the best lasagne I've gotten from a restaurant in my life. It's so meaty and cheesy and the sauce is... So good. Do yourself a favor and get bread with your pasta, because this is saucy goodness that needs to be sopped up and devoured!“

“We love stino. Only cash or check. There is a cash machine in the restaurant. It is some of the best italian on the west side. We have been multiple times, and the eggplant and chicken are all great and dessert and a gluten-free dessert, too. And they have decaf cappuchino. The food is great and is a reasonable price for white table cloth style. You can come as you are, don't need suit or dress.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free“

“we are lucky to have this in fairview park. outstanding authentic Italian foods available for take out. calzones, stromboli, lasagna, fresh bread, cannoli, etc made fresh on site. very kind and professional service. i would recommend for catering or even a small dinner. i picked up a dozen cannolis for a holiday party and they were a hit.“

“Rented a lovely room for my daughter's baby shower!! Maryann and the staff were attentive and just a very pleasant. The food was AMAZING HOT AND FRESH!!! She gained a return customer!! Thank all you so much for making my daughter's day something special!! Heres just a few pictures of my decor!“

“They have an awesome crispy chicken sandwich and chicken parm! I am currently addicted to the crispy chicken right now!! The staff are always welcoming and friendly!! I look forward to coming to the office, because I know where I'm getting lunch!!! I do have to try the pizza, that's coming soon and I will update my review!!“

“Aroma Cafe is the best place restaurant in Cleveland honestly. It's someday hidden away, so no one ever knows about it when I ask them, but I've recommended it to everyone I know as my favorite restaurant. Mario is friendly as can be, and he always makes sure that whoever I bring with me is well fed. Tons of food for a good price too!“

“We ordered for the first time tonight. Unfortunately, we're a little too far for them to deliver so we got carry out. We got an 8 piece fried chicken dinner and a small pizza, everything was VERY good. We look forward to trying more items from the menu.“

“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“

“OMG our friends had never been there before & they just loved it as much as we do! It gets a little crowded because the food is sooo good & the prices are low! My favorite to die for is the spaghetti bolognese!Kid-friendliness: Kids love it here!Wheelchair accessibility: It is totally wheelchair accessible!“

“Everything tastes like it is made from fresh ingredients. Both New York style and grandma crust have a nice crisp to the crust. Sauce has excellent taste and just the right amount spread evenly throughout the pies. The pepperoni rolls while good didn't impress me. Garlic bread was just that as well. Pizza was fair price but apps overpriced for the amount of food you receive. Will definitely be back for another vist“

“Have dined here since it opened, and the food is excellent, whether you dine in or order carryout. If you haven't gone there, or if you haven't been there recently, stop in. Mama's sauce and pasta, Buffalo chicken pizza, salads, chicken parmesan...all are great. Service is personal; portions are generous.“

“Our neighbors recommended this place to us and we were not disappointed. What a great pizza. The crust was thin, not thin enough to get soggy when you brought it home. Toppings were delicious. One of the best takeout pizzas we have got in the last while. Would order from them again, would also recommend.“

“A tiny slice of a restaurant in a nondescript strip mall. Food was delicious. The carbonara was smoky and deep without being heavy. The tortellini with walnut cream sauce had me at the first bite. A visit will not disappoint. Call first to reserve. Service was excellent, warm, knowledgeable and definitely knew the menu.“

“Service wasn’t great but did get seated quite fast considering I’m disabled was disappointed with my drink pay $25 for a picture. All sugar and ice food was OK but I know they work very hard and there’s usually fantastic servers. The soup is the bomb.“

“This place is nice and the food is good. But my only issue it’s a little bland . Not sure if they need to add salt or what but just lacking flavor . But great atmosphere cool people and floor smells and taste good , just a little bland for my liking . Will come back“

“Definitely recommend giving this place a try. Everything we’ve had here has been great. From the food to the service you won’t be let down! Staff and ownership are always friendly and very helpful. It’s easy to tell how much they care here. Give it a shot, you won’t regret it!“

“I wont come back. Every time i come here lately the bar seats are reserved. I have never seen this before. How much money is lost by having reserved bar seats. Sit at a damn table! Serve your soup with a soup spoon rather than a t-spoon. Two ladies just walked out because the bar seats were reserrved. Another couple just keft as well. The bar is empty. How much money are you los9ng by reserving bar seats“

“This was such an awesome venue to watch our favorite band Grunge DNA. The food was spot on, definitely delicious! The atmosphere was off the hook awesome, the energy was epic. And our waitress was very attentive to all of her tables making sure everyone was happy. Thank you for such a great experience! One of the best Grunge DNA shows!!! Will definitely be back again!!!Cindy Gregor“

“My wife and I had heard good things about Tavolo 72, so we decided to change up our usual routine and make a stop here to see what the hype was all about. Although our first visits to some restaurants were our last, this was not the case. The food was fantastic, the drinks were perfect, and the ambiance was quiet and cozy. And to make things even better, Marcus B., the bartender, was on point. We don't need a bartender who makes small talk, just one who is attentive, has good recommendations, and is professional. Marcus was all of the above, and our meals and desserts were excellent. We'll be back!“

“Wasn't quite sure what to expect from this place because of the mixed reviews and the fact that the parking lot is always empty but, we were very pleased that the pie we received. Pictures here is a large extra cheese. It was very cheesy, the crust was pretty good and the sauce was not remarkable but not bad. Would I go back? More than likely. It's actually one of the better pizzas in the area.“

“OMG! What a wonderfully unexpected surprise! While visiting a family member in the transition Center across the street, we decided to eat at the closest restaurant - Fatbob's Pizza. My wife had a calzone and I had a small meat galore pizza. Let me tell you that it's probably the best crust I've ever enjoyed for a pizza. The meat and sauce on the pizza were exceptional! The marinara sauce for the calzone was out of this world!The employees were very polite and helpful. We even we're offered cups of sauce for our to go containers.We will certainly stop there again when we are in the area.“
