“So many choices to choose from. They have something to eat for everyone! Amazing food and friendly staff!“

“A group of us traveled from Wooster to the IX center for the auto show and wanted to try a local pizza place. Sauced was recommended by a lady in the Ohio pizza fanatics page, what a great recommendation! Very good pie, some of the best I ever had. The staff were very friendly, the wait time to receive our food was minimal. They have a few tables set up inside for dine in and a drink cooler with soda and water, so perfect if you wanna dine in. I got a pie with pepperoni, sausage, and ricotta cheese, absolutely banging 🤌🏻 the breadsticks were great also and come with red sauce to dip them in. Overall great experience and will be making more trips to this location!“

“Took the family tonight. Food was excellent. Our server Robin was great. The manager, Traci, even stopped by our table to chat with us. Such a nice evening!“

“Our local PTO ordered their grab and go catering for a Staff Appreciation lunch. I have received so many “thank-you”’s and compliments on how delicious it was! Highly recommend. BONUS we were able to help support a local business AND treat our hardworking teachers and staff! GW PTO 100% recommends!!“

“I cannot say enough about Palazzo!!! Whether it is dine in or ordered to go, we have never had a bad experience here. Wait staff is amazing and the owner is one of the nicest people I've met! Lobster cooked beautifully, steaks cooked to perfection, the pasta was so flavorful and the salads were perfect. It's a quiet little spot but once you find it, you will be back!! Definite must do for our family!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“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 can't say enough good things. I've been twice, both the eggplant parm and shrimp fratello blew me away. Prices are very reasonable, portions are great, and the service is just as memorable and outstanding as the food. Ambiance is very cozy and inviting, great for a date night or a larger dinner with family and friends.“

“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 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“

“A nice, tiny and cosey Italian restaurant
A reservation is a must
I had the salmon pistachio, it wasn't the best
Owner is pretty friendly
The table I was given(right by the bar/chemine)should be removed from the settings. Staff was constantly kicking my jacket and you feel grounded for sitting there.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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. ?“

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

“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 ⭐“

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

“Amazing food and service! Highly recommended!“
