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.“

“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! 👍“

Definite must do for our family!“

“4 of us visited Bruno’s Sunday for dinner with a 6:45 reservation. Greeted immediately upon walking in. Bar area seats abt 10-15 and reservations can be made for bar seating as well! 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.“

“Excellent service and people are so warm and friendly. Osteria has the best ribeye steak!“

“Been patronizing Bucci's for years. Belong to the birthday club. Have had Easter and Thanksgiving dinners to go. All excellent. Celebrating Dave my husband's birthday today and greeted by Lisa S. our lovely server. Lisa was very attentive and gave us excellent service. The food was fantastic as usual. We both had lasagna, our favorite, with salads and the fantastic bread. The special tonight was chicken paprikash and we couldn't resist to order it to go for tomorrow night's meal. I had enough of my lasagna left for two more meals. Had tiramasu and chocolate cake for dessert. Since we ate late in the afternoon and Saturday night is our "pizza" night, we ordered a deluxe thin crust pizza to go also. Thank you, Lisa, for making our night so special. Sorry we didn't get to see Charles tonight, another one of our favorite servers. We definitely will be back soon. Carol and Dave T.\n\nShow less“

“Vito is a hottie“

“My boyfriend saw a video on Facebook about another customer doing a review and shared it to me and we both agreed we had to try this place…. Did NOT disappoint!!! I had the BLT and he had the chef’s choice wraps. Mine had a bunch of flavor to the sauce. It was really good He said his was spicy not too spicy. We both had the cannoli chips and OMG!!!!! Soo good. Very dangerous 😉! You will get hooked!! We will be back!“

“Everyone was nice food was great salad looked bomb and was even better“

“If I could give a higher rating than 5 stars I would. Ross and Mike were absolutely AMAZING to work with for our event. We had our Grand Opening at Skyline on Stokes and we had less than 4 weeks to put this together. Ross was so accommodating and was able to work it into their schedule even though they had already had another event that day. The customer service from the Staff was EXCEPTIONAL, the food was fantastic as well as the set up in the room, the drinks were amazing. They were able to accommodate specialty drinks that we requested and helped give us the ideas for and there was another full bar outside. They were able to provide a full execution of everything we asked for in such a little time frame. Thank you Ross and Mike for making the night a success! We will recommend your services to anyone and we hope to do business with you again. Thank you“

“Pizza was ok nothing that made me say oooh delicious sauce was flavorless (took a bite with no pepperoni), pepperoni over powering that couldn't even taste the sausage and greasy. The mozzarella too expensive and cold, I live 2min away if that so it wasn't the drive time.“

“Food was good, wine delicious. Server was short with us and matter of fact. Restaurant is very small but pleasant. However, when we went to order an entre later in our dinner service we were told they couldn't because they needed the table in an hour. We decided not to stay for dessert.“

“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!!!🤩❤“

“I’d like to keep this the best kept secret, but the tomahawk veal Marsala is, hands down, the finest meal I have ever eaten on Cleveland! Combine this with a cozy atmosphere, a friendly and efficient staff, and there’s no need to go anywhere else for an incredible meal!“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“Ordered chicken parmigiana for a birthday party, it’s was amazing! Chicken was so tender and juicy!!“

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

“This was a decent experience. The food was excellent except for the bread that was cold and hard as a rock. The waitress was a little less than attentive, but very sweet and polite (Rachel). She was a little busy on an earlier Sunday dinner time. (3pm)

They get a 5 star because my to go order dropped outside and they made me a new one and did not charge me. ❤️

(I did not point out that they packed the bag with the light salad on the bottom and the hot heavy dinner on top causing it to topple over as I walked to my car.)

The restaurant is a steady and reliable 4 ⭐“
