50 Best Italian Restaurants near Moreland Hills

“As always - comfortable restaurant, friendly and personable wait staff. The apple/beet salad was delicious. Great place for lunch and conversation, HOWEVER, I can't wait for your coming Valor Park location. Brecksville needs a restaurant like FLOUR, and I'll be waiting for the door to open Marilyn McG“

“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.“

“I haven’t had authentic Italian food in too long. Our salad dressing was to die die! The zucchini appetizer was divine and the dipping sauces perfect. Our main courses were perfect and to top it all of there was warm bread and olive oil with herbs to dip it in. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

They were so attentive, and made certain we were very well taken care of. THE FOOD! Man oh man. That food was the bomb. I think everyone had something different, and we are all still talking about how good it was! I recommend you have dinner with them. You will not regret it. It’s a whole vibe! ❤️❤️“

“My husband and I popped in for dinner after he arrived home from a family event. We wanted a date night after being away from one another for several days/nights. It was our first time. I sent him the menu as he boarded his plane and he was looking forward to a “new spot”. It did not disappoint. We were attended to from the time we sat down until after we tabbed out. We tried several dishes to get an idea of their style of cooking. The prosciutto melted in our mouths.. the ricotta was extremely creamy and bread from Breadsmith? DELISH. The Italian wedding soup was delicious, the pig n’ fig pizza was excellent (kudos on the dough and crust!), the spicy vodka rigate was on point! Not too spicy.. just that perfect amount of crushed red pepper in the sauce. The wine list was an extensive and our servers (we love to sit at the bar) was top notch! (Forgive me because I’m bad with names but I believe they were Alyssa and Jackie?) it is now on our list of must return spots. They were jamming for a Wednesday night. We initially sat at the rail bar but a couple waved in our direction to let us know they were leaving in a few minutes. If you’re looking for a quiet, romantic spot, it’s not quiet but it doesn’t echo, either. The details are beautiful, the artwork is pleasant to the eye and it was a perfect romantic date night spot for us. One of the better Italian spots in the area. Kudos and thank you for a great evening! Oh. P.S. the 12 month prosciutto with ricotta “primi” is definitely enough to share with 4 people. lol. So good!“

“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! 🍝“

“Beautiful patio. Great calzones. Good service. Cold draft beer“

“Visiting from Maryland, and read good reviews about Danspot. Glad we came. Dinner was fantastic. I had the Shrimp Piccatta, and my wife had Pipette pesto pasta with chicken. Both were outstanding. And our server Jake, was wonderful. Friendly and attentive. If you're in the area of the MGM Northfield, be sure to stop at Danspot. You will be glad you did.“

“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 can’t give enough stars! What a great first time! Alex was our server and she was so cute, friendly and came with great suggestions. We also went during a Valentines wine tasting and Ed was our wine guy who was a joy. The atmosphere was small but inviting with the right amount of light. Everything was beautiful and I’d definitely recommend and go back.“

“I was here last weekend. I was out of town for work and the guy at the gas station mentioned this place. I had the bruschetta which was absolutely out of this world amazing and the cavatelli rustica which was also absolutely amazing! Hands down best Italian restaurant I have ever ate at! I will definitely be back with the family!“

“Concerto is our favorite place to eat in the MGM Casino. The food is served hot and it is very delicious. A very good alternative to the other restaurants in the casino. All of their food is good and the serving sizes are just enough to fill our appetites.“

“The best pizza in Ohio!“

“My first visit to this Italian restaurant today - I ordered carry out …my chicken parm was sooo delicious my compliments to the chef…I will tell all my friends and relatives about this amazing restaurant! I will definitely be back!“

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

“Wonderful sweet sauce! Huge portions!“

“Had a lovely dinner with friends. Our server was outstanding as far as attentiveness and service! Food was very good overall. We never feel rushed. Only disappointment is how cold it is when seated in the barrels. We like the privacy aspect but will sit at tables from now on. Barrels can feel like a wind tunnel when AC is on.“

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

“I haven’t been to Piada Since they first opened. I wasn’t a big fan back then. I was having a day and needed to step out of work for a few moments, wow. The food was delicious and Chef Carla was just full of hospitality. Great experience, can’t wait to come back and see everyone again.“

“Best pizza in town!“

“Another Road-Trip pizza review!! Ordered an 8-cut pepperoni and sausage. Took 40 mins on a Friday night (pretty normal). The pizza sauce was savory, the dough was tasty and the crust was crunchy, sausage was normal, the pepperoni was their downfall in the rating... I think the whole pizza had 16 prices (not joking with 2 each slice). But the atmosphere was spectacular!! I don't think you can take it all in with one visit!! We will be back, but they really need to work on that pepperoni issue 😁“

“Guido’s is the best. The end.“

“The pizza was hot and fresh, the wings were nice and crispy and the fried dough was the perfect tasty treat to complete the meal“

“Great food An experience.“

“We ordered a pepperoni pizza and really enjoyed this pizza! It was fresh out of the oven, full of flavor, and had a deliciously fluffy, well-made crust that everyone loved. The pepperoni had a great crisp, and the sauce-to-cheese ratio was spot on. The only minor issue we had was that the cheese didn’t stretch—it came off in one piece with the toppings when my kids took a bite, which made it a little tricky for them to eat. But overall, a tasty and satisfying pizza that we’d happily order 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 !“

“Great food. A little on the noisy side. Popular spot.“

“We drive from Madison to visit this Geraci's location. The staff is always friendly and the food is amazing. The homemade Geraci's sauce with pasta and a slice of pizza is always my go to. The price is very reasonable, especially compared other Italian restaurants.“

“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 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!“

“Lee Angelo’s helped us host our daughter’s birthday party very last minute and was extremely helpful and kind during the entire process. Maddie was helpful with planning and Briana was so helpful the day of and made sure everything was perfect. It was a big hit for the kids with create your own pizzas. Lee Angelo’s is so wonderful for the Aurora community.“

“My chicken was very flavorful and delicious!“
