42 Best Italian Restaurants near Chesterland

“If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! This pizza place is an absolute gem. You can taste the difference in every bite -- from the perfect dough crust to the rich, flavorful sauce and the freshest toppings I've ever had. They clearly use only the best ingredients, and it shows. What really sets them apart is the passion of the staff. You can tell they truly love what they do -- every interaction feels warm, genuine, and full of pride for their craft. They even gave the children a behind-the-scenes tour, which was such a fun and unique experience! The children loved being able to make their own pizza. Learning about their sourcing made me appreciate their pizza even more. This isn't just a meal -- it's an experience. If you love pizza, you need to come here. I'm already planning my next visit!“

“Guido’s is the best. The end.“

“Catering for Our Film crew was Perfect after a long day on Set!! Every dish was a celebration of Italy's culinary traditions, fresh, high-quality ingredients. The classic combination of ingredients was a snapshot of what Italian cuisine is all about. The Lemon Chicken, Peppers, Meatballs, Pasta and Salad were Perfection .... the team loved everything!“

“We had a great birthday lunch for my wife. The atmosphere was welcoming. The food was very good as well as exceptional mixed drinks! All staff were accommodating and helpful. They even threw in a dessert for my wife at the end. Definitely will be back.“

“I came here with my sister last night and will definitely be back! Everyone was so friendly and accommodating, and our waitress was the sweetest and she even sent me home with birthday cake! 🎂 The food was amazing (10/10), and I ordered the Conchiglie Salsiccia Italiana, which was so good. Highly recommend Casa Rosa Cucina for great food and even better service!“

“Food is amazing, service is excellent. Pranzo! does not disappoint.“

“Best Italian food in the area period! My famiIy has enjoyed many visits/celebrations there over the years and the food/service is always great! Nothing on the menu is a bad choice and definitely save room for desert. You can tell their food is made with love ❤️“

“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.“

“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.“

“Kind of like stepping back in time. Plastic table clothes, beer in cans and a chalk board with daily specials. Our favorite go to place when we just want a good pizza and salad or some unassuming pasta dishes. You can't go wrong with anything here. It's all great. My favorites are the manicotti and their pasta salad. So yummy! The service is always great and friendly.“

“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 stopped for dinner while going through town. Our server, Alexis, was amazing. We had the absolute best shrimp alfredo we’ve ever had. We got to speak to the owner before we left. He was so personable and explained how they make their products all fresh. We will definitely be back!“

“Good food and service too.“

“Took my wife out to dinner and everything from the moment we walked in the door was amazing! The hostess sat us and took our drink order and brought it over immediately. Our server Kim was fabulous! She was friendly and Courteous. Our food was amazing and portions were more than generous. Definitely a new staple in our dinner line up!“

“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! 🍝“

“This was my first experience with this restaurant. First, they are NOT a chain restaurant, they are a scratch made everything, family run business.
The food is worth near any price, yet their menu is very reasonably priced.
Everything we ordered was excellent, fresh, and hot even after a 20 minute drive.
I highly recommend Trios. Cannot wait to return.“

“Got pizza this weekend for the whole family and friends this and it was absolutely delicious!! Fantastic quality of products and look forward to going back again soon. Great job team!!“

“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.“

“First time trying it and it was good! Definitely will go back when I visit town again!“

“Amazing! This was our first time here for a family birthday party, and it did not disappoint. Mary was hands down the best waitress we’ve ever had—top-notch friendly, incredibly informative, and she truly made the entire night memorable. We can’t say enough great things about her. The drinks were outstanding. We tried five or six off the menu, and every single one was handcrafted and delicious. Favorites were the Old Fashioned, Cat’s Meow, espresso martinis, and my absolute favorite—the Frosted Sour. The food was out of this world, and the place itself is super cute with a great ambiance. We’ll definitely be back!“

“We came here for a work trip and came to the bar to wine down and Bobbie Jo took care of us and beyond it! She was SOOOOO attentive and recommended the best drinks ! The hospitality was through the roof!! I’m not from here but I would DEF RECOMMEND FOR ANYONE TO COME HERE AND SEE BOBBIE JO!!!!“

“It was horrible! Service was bad. Food was boring. Tiny pizzettes not too bad but not worth the money. The skewers were just 3 chunks of meat with no veggies. Just unflavored meat skewers presented on an empty plate. They brought out one item at a time so the first orders got cold while waiting for the others. Way overpriced for what you get. Way too much furniture crammed into a tiny space. People brushing past you to try to get through. So very disappointing. Not at all like the photos.“

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

“This was our first time trying this restaurant, and we had a great experience. The staff was highly professional, attentive, and gave amazing food and drink recommendations. Everything we tried was excellent.

The atmosphere was enjoyable, and the overall experience made it definitely worth visiting again. We will be coming back!“

“Consistent. Friendly. Good food“

“The best pizza in Ohio!“

“This location is absolutely beautiful inside. (A little chilly so bring a sweater) our server was wonderful and attentive. I only rated 4 stars on the food because I ordered mariners and somehow got the spicy sauce which was incredibly spice I might add. The server said there was a mix up with the cooks In the kitchen and she was very apologetic. All around a pleasant experience.“

“Had an amazing dinner this Friday night. Lynn was fantastic. We have enough from each dinner for 2 or more meals. Heve not been there for a very long time. Excited to go back soon“

“Great food An experience.“

“Steve (and Matt) did a great job handling our very large order and making sure both deliveries arrived at the early times we requested. Excellent communication and service throughout the entire process! We will definitely use Zeppes in Chardon again for our whole-school lunch!“

“Bring an extra stomach because you are going to want to try everything. Judy is an amazing server, even took our pasta we couldn't finish to the back to box it up. The next time we will get the pizza, and hopefully run on to Judy again“

“Ordered the trifecta. Knocked each pizza out of the park. My favorite was the pizza built to represent an Italian sub ! Keep up the great work !“

“I am an out-of-towner visiting family. I am amazed at how good the pizza and calzones are! Huge portions, fantastic flavor, generous with toppings, and great service! I thought it was pricy until I got my food; WELL WORTH IT! Delivery was early, food was HOT. 10 out of 10 for me!“

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

“Delicious pizza! Great food and friendly staff“

“We always go to the Chardon location. Never had a bad experience. Hubby and I love the chicken marsala. We were sadden when it was removed from the menu. We went today and its on special. Still amazing as ever... It NEEDS to be Added back to the menu. Marcy and our server Diane were amazing as always :)“

“I never thought I'd have another italian sub sandwich again after I stopped eating meat in the late '90s (yeah, people can do it for that long and still be alive. Amazing, right?). And then I saw that Dave's Cosmic Subs has vegan options. Well now I'm enjoying them again thanks to this place. I can't believe I've waited this long to try anything from them, but I'm making up for it now.“

“I’m new to the area and the serving staff is very friendly and helpful. Had meatball sub which was very good. They make their own hoagie rolls. Salad was crisp and fresh. Breaded chicken wings crunchy and delicious (hot sauce and blue cheese)“

“We’ve enjoyed many wonderful tasting menus over the years, but our New Year’s Eve experience at JoJo’s truly stood out as something special. Executive Chef Landon and his incredible Executive Sous Chef, Joe, presented our family with one of the most memorable and perfectly executed dinners we’ve had. Since we couldn’t decide between the options, we shared everything, and we’re so glad we did. The stone crab claws and lamb lollipops were an outstanding start. For entrées, my husband chose the bone‑in ribeye while I had the lobster ricotta agnolotti with black truffle. Both were exceptional. We ended the night by sharing the Luxardo cheesecake and the champagne‑poached pears, which were the perfect finish. The champagne and wine we were suggested were spot‑on, though the wine pairing would have been a great choice as well. The management team, with Mark and Ryan leading the ship that night, made the evening seamless, and our bartender, Michael, was an absolute professional. truly, everyone there is fantastic. Chef Landon once shared a quote with us from Oscar Wilde: “To the strangers that become friends and those friends become family.” That sentiment perfectly captures what we love most about every experience here. We could not recommend this establishment more.“

“You come here for delicious one-of-a-kind subs not the atmosphere as it's just a take out kind of place. The food is delicious and they have lots of your favorite comfort foods to choose from. Their stuffed mushrooms are popular and so is their Italian sub with pepper relish. Prices are reasonable for this type of food.“

“Absolute fireball this place should be packed with a dining room in the next year to two years if you haven't had their food yet simply get an old world or thick cut or authentic original pepperoni pizza one taste and I'll send you back to your childhood with nostalgia that you can't compare there is no pizza like this and I absolutely guarantee I would choose this place first out of three that I love try it today I vouch it'll become your new favorite highly recommend that you try their full menu they do catering and they do have a very broad spectrum on topings this place would absolutely come highly recommended by me to anyone willing to listen or that asks would that being said you guys have an amazing day“
