“We were here on a late Friday afternoon. We had been several times before and as good as it is we are out east and just forgot about it. Our mistake! Service was excellent and the food rivals anything in little Italy. The lasagna was probably the best I have ever had. The salad was fresh and crisp. We were both talking about this place the next day, it was that impressive.The best restaurant experience we have had in a long time. Although it is a drive for us, it is worth every mile. We will be back!“

“Fantastic restaurant! A true gem of Cleveland. The Freddie's Pasta is by my favorite and their martinis are delicious. Echoing other comments, while the menu is a bit pricey you get good sized portions. Another perk is that a lot of their dishes can be made gluten free. Overall, a great, cozy atmosphere and excellent service... this is one of my favorite places to go for a special occasion.“

“We recently celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary at Aticas’ Italian restaurant in Avon. The job that Erin, did in making the arrangements for our 17 guests in their private room went well beyond our expectations. Celia, the waitress did an outstanding job serving both the adult and children's menu requests. The staff on a whole made sure that the day would be special for us. The Arancini on their antipasti menu were exceptional as were any of the Secondi dishes. We would happily return and would highly recommend the restaurant to others.“

“My mom was a waitress there years ago I was a kid in grade school at Brett and would walk there for lunch while she worked .I lived on
Rudyard .Great food yes the Parm is fantastic.I wanted an Italian sub for old memories but couldn't pass on the Parm ..Next time tho.“

“Offers everything you want in a great dining experience from the staff, food and atmosphere! I have found many proprietors in the area frequent this spot on a regular basis. That speaks volumes! "Flour" has such a "Cheers" like environment thanks to the owners!!! Youfeel welcomed when you enter and upon leaving, you anticipate your next visit! ?“

“Let me tell you we ate there last night for first time. It was BY FAR NO COMPARISON to anything I have ever had or experienced. Not only was the lasagna the best I’ve ever had. EVERYTHING about the whole experience from the valet staff, to the server, to the owner. Top notch. Will be coming back (from Toledo, Ohio) to Cleveland just for this. If you live in the area, or are visiting Cleveland. YOU MUST GO HERE. You won’t be disappointed.“

“We had a girls night out at Cuoco Bello. We shared several appetizers: calamari, mussels, sausage stuffed peppers. Everything was delicious and hot. Then we had a variety of entrees. I had skillet chicken parm. Very nice. Then we shared a dessert of chocolate cake to celebrate a friends birthday. The staff was great especially our server.“

“Wonderful sweet sauce! Huge portions!“

“Their pizza really is a thing of magic. The sauce is delicious… ingredients are high quality. Like when you compare this to most pizzas out there, you can see this is the best around. When we need a week-day pizza party, this is the place to go.“

“I've used Uber eats (I'm lazy sometimes) and done pick up. The arincini are awesome and the mushroom duxelle pizza was great. Also love the garlic bread and the meatballs and sauce. The Veal parmesan was excellent, nice crisp on the veal even with the sauce and cheese. Side of spaghetti marinara was very nice. Have enjoyed each item I have received. Will definitely order again. Good well prepared food at reasonable prices.“

“Just what downtown Willoughby needed! Such a cute and cozy pizza place/Italian restaurant serving up the classics done simply and done well. We ordered the Salad Bowl and it was a meal in itself. I really appreciated the lettuce- no iceberg here, just crisp mixed greens and lots of Italian cold cuts, cheese, egg and olives. Ordered a small pizza with sausage, onion and banana peppers and it was delicious. They use the crumbly sausage, which again, I totally appreciate. I can tell quality ingredients are used here and it makes such a difference. The staff were great! A really pleasant and welcoming group of young people. Nice job! We will be back soon!“

“great food and great service“

“I have always had very good food and service at the Olive Garden. I like to eat at the bar. My only issue is seating families with very young and loud children in the bar area. This area should be reserved for adults over 18. I like children but there is a time and a place.“

“We had a great brunch--French Toast for me and the scrambled eggs & bacon for my friend. The food was very well prepared and presented. The restaurant was quiet at 11:00 on Saturday so we could linger and chat. A very enjoyable experience.“

“I enjoyed the food it was absolutely delicious“

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

“Amazing service, delicious food plus gluten free options. Will def be back“

“We went to Alfredo’s for the first time last weekend, and we both ordered the clambake with roasted chicken. The meal was superb! This was the best roasted chicken ever, and the clams were sweet and tender. Also, the clam chowder was wonderful. Service was prompt, friendly, and professional. The restaurant was clean and cozy (we sat in a barrel table). We look forward to going back to this hidden gem of a restaurant to try more food! Highly recommend.“

“Where do I start!? We stopped here on a whim as we are not from Cleveland. Every single food item we had was delicious. Beef carpaccio was outstanding. The artichoke/spinach cream sauce pasta with Crab was my favorite. Jeff the Chef was an awesome guy and it was great to meet him. Cannot wait to go back.“

“Wonderful food. All pastas we’ve tried have been superb. However, not great takeout experience - several times have arrived home, unpacked order and found items missing (bread, salads, dressing). Make them check the order before you leave. Otherwise, highly recommended.“

“We live about an hour away but I had a doctors appointment in Chagrin Falls today, so naturally we became very hungry and we were looking for somewhere to eat. My fiancé and I were craving pizza and this place popped up when we searched for pizza nearby. All I can say is WOW. It was our first time and it was phenomenal. The staff is amazing and so nice! They really make you feel like you’re a part of their family! They made a small mistake with our pizza and the way they handled it was top notch. We will definitely be back! Thank you for making us feel right at home.“

“After looking into every restaurant in little Italy we ended up choosing borgata bar and we are so happy we did! Everything was amazing. The owner and staff were wonderful the food was delicious. Everything was just perfect.“

“Best pizza in town!“

“It's a chipotle version of build your own meal you start off with the portion container you want choose a pasta, sauce and protein and then go down the line adding vegetables, onions, cheese other sauces or do a specialty order from the menu or different meat cooked how you want. A friend of mine got a Salad ? said it was awesome. I haven't tried one yet and they have cheesey ? it's called another name it's rectangular shape. Pretty good.“

“Once again, everything is great!“

“we come here every Monday!! How come you've been out of cherry tomatoes for almost 2 months ? no other restaurant we go to is every out of them? it's so annoying?? can't you go to the local grocery store and purchase some??“
