13 Best Italian Restaurants in Mentor

“We went to Nonna Ts for the first time this weekend. From the moment you step into this charming restaurant, you’re greeted by the excellent staff and amazing aroma of the best Italian food I’ve had since moving to Ohio. The drinks, food and atmosphere is top notch and being greeted by Nonna T was the perfect addition to our evening. We will definitely be back and make eating at Nonna T’s a regular event.“

“Outstanding experience at Trio's Italian Grill in Mentor! It felt like being welcomed into a family's home — so warm and kind. They were wonderful with our son who is on the spectrum. I had the Chicken Piccata, my husband had the Chicken Pasta Carbonara, and our son loved the corn dog bites. Service and food were both top-notch! She even baked fresh cookies for us to take home and came out to the car to say goodbye to our son. We left with wonderful desserts and will definitely be back next time we're in town!!“

“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!“

“Pretty nice little Italian restaurant. Got the chicken parmigiana dinner to go with a canoli and it didn't disappoint. Came with a side salad and Italian dressing which was nice. The sauce is good spaghetti was good chicken and cheese was great. Lots of flavor and fresh. Decent portions. Canoli was tasty as well. I would recommend trying this place out it ain't too bad. Nice little outside area to eat as well. Glad I finally stopped by to try it out. I wasn't disappoint and I'll be back. 🙂“

“Haven’t been in for dinner in a while. Athena, our server was fantastic. Food was outstanding.Really exceeded any expectations we may have had. It was so refreshing to have a server who was so genuinely welcoming and friendly! We were immediately made to feel comfortable. And she was so informative and this is coming from someone who’s been in the hospitality business for over 40 years! Thanks again for a wonderful evening!“

“We come almost every Sunday to see Stella. She’s amazing and the foods great too.“

“Spats is my kinda place. The first time I visited Spats, I saw a neon beer sign in the window and figured I’d grab a beer while I was waiting for my gf to finish her shopping. I was instantly met with the dive-bar/hole in the wall vibe. Spats did not disappoint! If that’s not what you’re looking for, you might try the dining area instead of the bar area, which has at least 10 TVs, so I assume it’s also a nice sports bar.

So I told my gf that we should come back sometime when we want to hang out. We did! There aren’t many vegetarian options, but you can get typical bar food, plus an extensive lunch/dinner menu. I tried the fried mushrooms. They were delicious! I see why some ppl don’t like the fries, but they were perfect for me. They were not greasy or cooked in recycled oil like some idiots claimed in their reviews. But yes, they’re typical of real potato fries: soft and limp, just the way I like them. But they were also a little bland. Nothing a little salt couldn’t fix. I also had the fried shrimp, which was fine. Cole slaw was OK. My gf liked her chicken salad. Portions are HUGE. I’ll be back to try other items on the menu. I’m giving it 5 stars to offset the idiots who gave it one. But overall, it’s probably 4.5 stars.“

“We were lucky to have new guy Connor as our waiter. He was so kind and patient and repeated back everything to us as we ordered. What a pleasant Olive Garden experience we all had.

The soup was great, but our Moscato sangria drinks were phenomenal.

I forgot to take many pics, but it's Olive Garden, so you get the idea.“

“Best pizza in town. Excellent service. Very friendly staff.“
