“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.“

“A most excellent casual, yet fine dining experience at Sara's Place in quiet and secluded Gates Mills. My wife and I had a much needed date night and we're very pleased with our visit. We sat in the upper lounge & bar area which is moody and atmospheric. The food was also amazing. I highly recommend the regular menu Pork Chop item - get the BBQ sauce on the side as the chop itself it phenomenal without it and I went back and forth using the sauce or not. Highly recommend for a casual night out 👌“

“Everytime I go there the food always good and the worker Alway cool I love going their Thanks Jennifer 😍🤪🤪“

“The service was amazing, our waiter was so friendly and the food was great. Highly recommend!!“

“Solis World Grille was an easy 11/10 and I will definitely be back again! The portions are generous for the price and the flavor is out of this world. I had the rosemary chicken spaghetti and tasted the love and passion that went into the dish. I shared a slice of strawberry cheesecake for dessert and was so impressed, I ended up ordering an extra slice to go to have with my coffee in the morning. The atmosphere is romantic and cozy. Definitely perfect for a date! Although they have only been open for a short four months, it's very clear they have mastered their craft and want to provide delicious Italian food with flavor and flare in an upscale atmosphere.“

“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.“

“Such a great place! Food was great and so was the staff! We will definitely go back and recommend.“

“We had my birthday celebration there. Let me tell you, the experience was just beautiful. There were 16 of us, and they catered to our every need. The serving staff was patient, and very thorough. 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! ❤️❤️“

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! 🍝“

“Guido’s is the best. The end.“

“Our first time there, we loved it! Lenore was great, told us everything we needed to know about the restaurant. We got the fish specials, more than enough food! Very cool old Italian style restaurant, takes me back to the Little Joe’s Pub atmosphere (in Bath) where I went growing up. We drove by & took a change, and so glad we did. We’ll be back!!! Did I mention Lenore was great!!!“

“Amazing! This was our first time here for a family birthday party, and it did not disappoint. Mary was hands down the best waitress we’ve ever had—top-notch friendly, incredibly informative, and she truly made the entire night memorable. We can’t say enough great things about her. The drinks were outstanding. We tried five or six off the menu, and every single one was handcrafted and delicious. Favorites were the Old Fashioned, Cat’s Meow, espresso martinis, and my absolute favorite—the Frosted Sour. The food was out of this world, and the place itself is super cute with a great ambiance. We’ll definitely be back!“

“If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! This pizza place is an absolute gem. You can taste the difference in every bite -- from the perfect dough crust to the rich, flavorful sauce and the freshest toppings I've ever had. They clearly use only the best ingredients, and it shows. What really sets them apart is the passion of the staff. You can tell they truly love what they do -- every interaction feels warm, genuine, and full of pride for their craft. They even gave the children a behind-the-scenes tour, which was such a fun and unique experience! The children loved being able to make their own pizza. Learning about their sourcing made me appreciate their pizza even more. This isn't just a meal -- it's an experience. If you love pizza, you need to come here. I'm already planning my next visit!“

“First time trying it and it was good! Definitely will go back when I visit town again!“

“The best pizza in Ohio!“

“The food is always fresh and delicious!“

“Wonderful sheet pizza. Great for parties. Your guests will love the pizza.“

“Great food An experience.“

“We had dinner there last night at their new location. They have not lost a step. It is still a great restaurant. All four of us had something different and everyone raved about their choices. My veal parm was excellent and so large that I brought home enough for another meal! The new location is nice and roomy with the same great service. I can’t wait to return. I plan to be there often.“

“Unique, fresh, and delicious! We will definitely be ordering from here again!“

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

“Consistent. Friendly. Good food“

“Just visited ist of August 2020 again to try out the new menu items since MGM is out.of the picture. Wait for food was pretty long this day at 45 minutes for two meals but I am sure this was related to the grand opening celebration. In fact there were so.many open to go orders they had no more beepers to give out and resorted to yelling out names. We each opted for the rigatoni and sausage. We asked for a combined marinara and alfredo sauce. Pasta cooked perfectly aldente blended sauce is better than either one alone. The blended sauce is not on the menu so you need to ask them to blend it. While the sausage tasted good with just a little bit of spice, the casing was very tough. The addition of several more new menu items makes this a recurring spot to sit down or take out!
Next time trying the chicken parmesan!“

“Best pizza in town!“

“It was horrible! Service was bad. Food was boring. Tiny pizzettes not too bad but not worth the money. The skewers were just 3 chunks of meat with no veggies. Just unflavored meat skewers presented on an empty plate. They brought out one item at a time so the first orders got cold while waiting for the others. Way overpriced for what you get. Way too much furniture crammed into a tiny space. People brushing past you to try to get through. So very disappointing. Not at all like the photos.“

“I have dined at Alfredo's many times and have always been very happy with the food and the service. Restaurants in hotels are not always wonderful, but Alfredo's is. I came with a group of four ladies one of whom had never been there before. We were all pleased with our meals and with the service. We all had Italian entree and they were delicious.“

“I was visiting Ohio on a church convocation. I was told they was the best so I went. From first entrance felt very much welcome. The owener made spaghetti for me with no hesitation just like I like it witch was off his menu. He didn't have to do that, and might I say it was delicious. I got a small but it was definitely enough for 2 people. On our last night Sunday my dad and l went it wanting to try the pizza and wings. We found that they closed at 8 we
got there around 8:20. But the owner again did his big one. He told the staff to turn the ovens back on and made our order for us. The pizza and wings was a 10/10 for sure. I pray all blessing and love to this establishment cause they went above and beyond twice for my family and I this week. You guys rock“

“We cannot thank the Russo family enough for hosting the luncheon after our 7 year old daughter, Jady’s bell ringing ceremony. From the moment we walked in, they made us feel so incredibly loved and celebrated.

The biggest surprise was when we entered and the Russo team started ringing bells for Jady. It was such a heartfelt moment and something we will never forget. To have them recognize and celebrate this milestone with us meant more than words can express. Jan also surprised Jady with a special bell ringing gift, which was such a thoughtful and sweet gesture.

Beyond their incredible kindness and generosity, the food, drinks, and service were absolutely wonderful. Everything was perfect, and they helped make an already emotional and unforgettable day even more special for our family and friends.

The Russo family is truly amazing — not only because of the wonderful restaurant they run, but because of the love and compassion they show to others. We are so grateful they were part of Jady’s bell ringing celebration and helped create memories we will cherish forever.

Thank you, Russo’s Italian Pizza, for making Jady’s special day even more magical. We appreciate you more than you know!“

“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.“

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

“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“

“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!“

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

“I’ve been coming here since the late 90’s & Still enjoy the great pizza & atmosphere!!“

“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 !“

“Decided to try it after seeing reviews about their gluten free pizzas and how good they were. I will say that I am glad I did!! I can honestly say, their gluten free Detroit style pizza is the best gluten free pizza/dough that I’ve ever had!! I went to the Twinsburg location and the two guys making my pizzas, Isaiah and John, were very friendly and helpful! Their pizzas are a bit on the pricey side, especially for the sizes, but I will still definitely come back just for their gluten free pizzas! Thank you for making a gluten free dough that tastes so good and almost exactly like regular pizza dough!! Also, I should add, I got their vegan cheese as well and it tasted really good too!“

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

“I never thought I'd have another italian sub sandwich again after I stopped eating meat in the late '90s (yeah, people can do it for that long and still be alive. Amazing, right?). And then I saw that Dave's Cosmic Subs has vegan options. Well now I'm enjoying them again thanks to this place. I can't believe I've waited this long to try anything from them, but I'm making up for it now.“

“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.“

“Food is 10/10, staff is very friendly.“
