50 Best Italian Restaurants near Mayfield Village

“Very nice setting for dinner! The staff was great especially Xandra our server! She was attentive but not pushy. She added to our experience. As for the food you better come hungry as the portions are good sized. My wife had the lasanga and I had veal Herbrto. Both were excellent. We didn't have room for desert but wish we had! Their selection was amazing. When i'm back in town I will definitely return. I highly recommend Alfredo's. Thanks Xandra and crew for a very pleasant evening!“

“Exceptional dining experience in Gates Mills. Chef Richie’s rack of lamb and my husband’s pork chop were delicious. They accommodated my wheat allergy with care. Ample gluten free options on the menu. The potato skin appetizer was delightful, and the dessert special was decadently divine. From the warm reservation call with the owner to Claudia’s impeccable service, this restaurant stands out as one of the best in Cleveland and beyond. Can’t wait to return!“

“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.“

“I was at a weekend gettogether and got to eat food that was catered from Mario Fazio's. It was amazing! The lemon chicken, chicken parm, pizza, broccoli parm?, were soooooo good! like, soooo good! Their bread was good too. I hate it when I keep eating only because my mouth tells me too, but that is what happened here. It was soooooo good!“

“went for lunch this past Wednesday. Service was super. I had the chicken Alfredo and it was delicious. I will definitely go back.“

“Giovannis is one of the few remaining fine dining classical Italian restaurants in the Cleveland area. The portions are very large which seems to appeal to most of the clientele. Pierre, server and wine steward, is the cornerstone for the front of the house and Giovannis would not be the same without him. There is an extensive wine list but it is sadly a little thin on Pinot Noirs. The back of the house is consistently good but on this occasion my dover sole was overcooked. A sin that I'm finding hard to forgive. Overall, our group enjoyed our meal and look forward to visiting soon.“

“The best pizza in this area!! We tried many pizzas in different restaurants but my boyfriend and I agreed that Abo's pizza was the best. Their crust/dough was so good and had an excellent flavor. It was relatively thin but could hold the toppings. We had one of their specialty pizzas, Mediterranean, together with a Caesar salad. Large pizza was more than enough to share for two people. Service was good, prices were reasonable but we thought $10 for a piece of cheese cake was a bit steep. Anyways, we will go back there for sure.Update:We went back & ordered Calamari, Margarita Pizza (BEST) , Linguine with Calamari, & Gnocchi. Ordering a bottle of wine for three of us worked perfectly ?“

“it was good..but not my favorite Italian place by far. good for a quick meal.. pizza was less then par.. other food a little greasy it was a little pricey for the small portions..I probably won't go back but it was ok.. not gonna give a bad review because the cook had a bad day. Im all for the small business owner just needs more flavor and for those prices add more pasta ITS CHEAP!“

“I had the chance to pick up a pizza from Angelo's Friday evening. I was very pleased with their pizza The crust is thin and hand tossed I prefer pepperoni and mushrooms with lots of cheese. Their pizza sauce is not too sweet and very flavorful. I'm looking forward to another visit to eat in their dining room to enjoy one of their bougie boozy milkshakes.“

“Great food.Great service.Staff is friendly. Owner is very nice. Prices are very reasonable“

“Great food An experience.“

“One of the better Pizza places in Cleveland. Great parking with Handicap access. They also have Fish selections for lent. I am definitely going back for anyone pie soon!Vegetarian options: There were vegetarian selections. Especially with the pizzas.Parking: Lots of parking in the back, and wheelchair win the front.Kid-friendliness: I saw several families with children. I didn’tPay attention as to a child’s selection on the menu, but what kid doesn’t love pizza?Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel chair access available.“

“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 !“

“Recently came out to grab a sandwich. They didn't have a Google Pay POS and I didn't have cash on me so I had to leave without getting food. Great place, definitely won't be my last time visiting and the service was friendly and understanding. They explained that they'd be getting updated POS machines soon. I caught the manager before she was leaving for the day and she understood the issue right away and took the time to explain the situation to me.“

“All meals were good go our party of 4. I had the Veal Parmigian, it was excellent. I had it along with the spaghetti the next day and it was just as good reheated. That's a mark of excellent food.“

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

“This was my first time dining here per my parent's recommendation. Overall, it was a good experience. The house Italian on the side salad was delicious! The oil for the bread had some kick but was very good and flavorful. I ordered the chicken parm (not featured in a photo) and thought it was quite tasty. I really liked the sauce which had a nice sweetness to it. Unfortunately, they were busy and possibly understaffed as it took about 15 minutes before we were asked to place a food order. The atmosphere is cute overall but a bit too plain. I was here on a Wednesday night where they run a generous special on their chicken parm.“

“good food lam simple love their Caravelle and great meatballs and wonderfully salad“

“Our first time trying & we ordered take out, everything was amazing!! We ordered a lot to try a bit of everything and I highly recommend the inferno Alfredo pasta, firecracker shrimp, and Ebony & Ivory for dessert. We’re excited to dine in next time.“

“Was very disappointed that you had no soup to start. I can not eat salad. My husband asked for a side order of pasta with hiss airline chicken. The waitress said no side orders. He would have to order a full pasta. His plate arrived with a small piece of airline chicken and nothing else on his plate. Not even greenery. For $30...sad. ????“

“I have ordered from this place three times and the food has always been good, hot, freah. The Calzone was flavorful despite me getting it plain. The crust was prefect. I ordered the wedding soup and it was wonderful. I get the loaves of bread and they are fresh, fluffy and great. I don't know what other people order but what I have gotten has been a great meal. This in only a handful of places that serves the Sicilian white pizza they way relatives made it or the Sicilian with the red sauce. Usually places top it with Mozarella and Provolone and it is not the way it was made old school.“

“Best pizza in town!“

“Great restaurant family owned and great atmosphere and service. Great place to spend your lunch time.Parking: Great wheelchair accessible and close to restaurant.Kid-friendliness: Great kids food on menu.Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap accessible and great parking“

“As always, Piccolo provided an excellent dining experience. We were seated on-time. The food was fresh and delicious and our server Anna provided impeccable service. You can't go wrong with this neighborhood gem that I find for the quality and quantity of portions is reasonably priced. Everything on the menu (and I've ordered much of it over the years) is wonderful. Highly recommended!“

“This place was absolutely wonderful. We had tried two other places previously, and couldn't get a table. The owner was so kind and caring, taking the time to make recommendations about the rest of our stay, and the food was simply amazing. It felt like we were family even though we had just met. I don't often leave reviews, its rare anymore that a place leaves that big of an impression. This one definitely did. If you are in the area, you would be cheating yourself to not visit.“

“their food is delicious.... I'll get on a Kick and I'll start eating it everyday for weeks and then I won't eat for a while then I'll start eating is again...ECT ECT ....Wheelchair accessibility: they have is it wider so handicap ppl can get in the restaurant too...“

“Love it there. Outside bar is the best“

“The best pizza in Ohio!“

“Amazing food. Old school vibes. Entered through the back. Fresh good bread and tomato’s!It’s a 5 star but giving a 4 only cause it’s cash only and had to walk to get cash at the gas station couple blocks away. Tell me before I order or a sign is all that’s needed. I would put a 4.5 on here if possible. The place just needs to allow customers to use more payment methods than just cash , it’s 2023 , no one carries cash like they did even like 5 years ago.“

“Delicious spot in Downtown Willoughby! You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. Their bread is so soft and delicious we always finish it within minutes of sitting down. Tonight we ordered my favorite appetizer the Fried Ravioli which is always a hit. My husband had the Italian Sausage Sub for his entree which came with crispy fries. I ordered the Spaghetti Geraci Sauce which came with a house salad. The house Italian dressing is great but you must try the creamy Italian dressing! The pasta was perfectly cooked and the sauce was amazing as usual! Come check this place out!!!“

“great food and great service“

“I could not be more pleased with the service and the food here. Chris and John are absolutely stellar and handled a situation we had with absolute care and consideration. This restaurant is so amazing and food is spectacular. If you want both good service and food please visit Jojo's.“

“I enjoyed the food it was absolutely delicious“

“Bar Italia continues to be a family favorite. My wife and I love to eat at the bar when it’s the two of us. And our adult kids enjoy coming with us always. The food is tremendous and we love many things on the menu. The wine selection is also very good.“

“I kept my daughter's 26th birthday here and the service was excellent! The food was great and the staff were very helpful. I couldn't ask for better service from my server. She was phenomenal! The staff brought out the cake and sang happy birthday to my daughter and made her evening very special. Thank you guys!“

“Look, I'd give this place 5 stars but I dont like to overhype a spot. I will say this though: Geraci's has been in University Heights since 1956, and it's no question why. Geraci's offers a full menu of Italian based cuisine but for me, it's largely about the pizza. The occasional eggplant parm add-on, or the frequent house salad are ordered, but the pizza is our go-to. Personally, we go for the deluxe, and the Red Sicilian (no cheese except grated Romano). On the red, its a perfect bread and red sauce bite. On the deluxe, all veggies are fresh (particularly the mushrooms, uncanned), and the meats are unique. Nowhere in Cleveland have I tasted a sausage like on a Geraci's pizza. I have wondered if it is made in house, but note it does have fennel seed (which I love, and almost require) and is crumbled finely. The pepperoni is likewise unique. I have no idea where they source it, but it is nicely spicey, and hand-sliced. It's a hallmark thing for a Geraci's pie. Hand-sliced, slightly irregular pieces of pepperoni, which at times feel like "the steak of Italian charcuterie" (my own words). Bottom line: try a pepperoni and/or a pie of your choice, pair it with an Italian red wine like a Montepulciano or a glass-bottle Coke, and go from there.“

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

“On a good day, spectacular! And I say that because you can taste a little burn out sometimes, other than that, great staff, love the drive through pick up. The deluxe pizza is amazing but pricey! It's like 26 dollars for a personal pan! The ambience, it's giving industrial blue collar. Get and go!“

“I have not had their pizza yet, but their burgers are excellent. Nice chargrilled 8 oz with your choice of toppings, cooked to perfection. On another occasion I ordered 2 subs, a meatball and "super" italian. First off the buns for their subs are little more that glorified hot dog buns, I feel like they could do a lot better and that the buns are holding back their sub game. So the meatball: I asked before I ordered if they made their meatballs in-house and she said yes. I was pleasantly surprised to find out they are indeed hand made and quite tasty. (most of the time a restaurant will outright lie when I ask them this. I'm picky, I don't like food service meatballs...) So the meatballs were excellent but the sub was short on both cheese and sauce in my opinion. Again their bread choice doesn't lend itself to providing a good base for a saucy sub. The Italian was pretty disappointing, same crappy hot dog bun, only 2 kinds of meat -ham and salami. Don't call it 'super' if it only has 2 kinds of meat, and not much of either. Also WTF is American cheese doing on an Italian sub? The whole thing was kind of a trainwreck and I've literally have better Italian subs from a gas station. I've also had a grilled chicken sandwich and it was delicious. grilled perfectly and served with lettuce and tomato, a dab of mayo and it was fantastic. My advice is avoid their subs and order their sandwiches, you won't be disappointed.“
