“Great food and service! Very enjoyable atmosphere! Large portions highly recommend!!!“

“I love their Fettuccine Alfredo. Loved the Portobello Ravioli with smoked creme sauce, no longer available. Loved the stuffed mushrooms, no longer available. Loved the peppercorn dipping sauce that came with the calamari, no longer available. Their red sauce SUCKS. Beadsticks SUCK. I love the Italian margarita. Ordering online SUCKS. Once something is in the cart, you can't delete it. !“

“Nice atmosphere and clean. Excellent food and service. Thanks, Rachel, for the terrific service and warm smile.“

“I was in tonight with family for dinner and service was good. I only had one problem, I ordered the chicken Alfredo and was not happy with it at all. I have had it before and was very good and tonight it was not. when I asked if it was Alfredo sauce she said yes. then asked me if I liked it and said it was okay. few seconds later the cook came over and asked and I said something was different and she told me it was from a bag. she said they would remake it and I said no if it is the same sauce and she said no they would make it homemade. not sure why was not done the first time.. crazy after all that the Alfredo came back and it was good. so hopefully they keep it, because I like the food..“

“My boyfriend saw a video on Facebook about another customer doing a review and shared it to me and we both agreed we had to try this place…. Did NOT disappoint!!! I had the BLT and he had the chef’s choice wraps. Mine had a bunch of flavor to the sauce. It was really good He said his was spicy not too spicy. We both had the cannoli chips and OMG!!!!! Soo good. Very dangerous 😉! You will get hooked!! We will be back!“

“Incredible from start to finish. My only regret is not dining at Molto Bene when I first moved to Lakewood two years ago.

The restaurant itself is intimate and relaxing. The service is excellent. The food left me desiring nothing else.

Lakewood is very fortunate to have a restaurant such as this. All aspects were phenomenal and I would never second guess recommending Molto Bene to friends and family.“

“I had the pleasure of meeting the team from Italian Creations last night at a wedding at Lake Effect Studios. As a professional DJ, I have had lots of wedding food. I have to say, everything was excellent. From the salad bowl with a tasty balsamic dressing to the spaghetti vodka. If you are looking for authentic home cooked Italian food, look no further. You will not be disappointed. 10/10“

“We had a family gathering with almost 60 family members and friends last week and they could not have made planning and pulling off the event anymore perfectly then they did. Staff and service were excellent and I highly recommend J Bella's!“

“Stopped in to try and ordered the lunch special with 2 tenders with Carolina BBQ sauce and Tilapia. Lunch had generous portions for $7.99. Next time ill order a head because they make everything on the spot! Very good food and service. I will definitely be going back! Also very friendly owners“

“We had Mario cater our small wedding last week. He went above and beyond to make the our guests happy with his delicious food! All of our guests raved about the dinner provided for them. Many said it was the best food they have had at a wedding. Mario gave us exactly what we asked for and elevated his food with the love he has for cooking. I HIGHLY recommend Mario as he is top notch and was worth every penny. Thanks for making our day even more special!!!🤩❤“

“As always, food was stellar. Apps were great, bread was excellent, dinner were great.“

“Delicious unpretentious food and great staff!“

“A very elegant atmosphere. Our server was very attentive but not overbearing. I will probably be comparing other Italian restaurants quality to Stino's. the food was fabulous. I will come back next time I am in Cleveland.“

“The food is always fresh and delicious!“

“Superb meal and great atmosphere. It was wonderful meeting Carmella and her niece for the first time. I really enjoyed our conversation. Looking forward to dining there again!“

“Terrific atmosphere and decor for the thirty years I've been coming here and a fairly standard American and Italian dish selection prepared very well and delicious. French dips are surprisingly uncommon nowadays, but theirs is scrumptious. Buffalo Chicken salad also delicious, as was the triple chocolate mouse cake. I'll keep coming here as long as they keep their standards up.“

“Great food, great service and great knowledge and communication from the server to the kitchen staff about which options are gluten free. Many places make you feel like a burden when questioning the menu due to your dietary needs. Everyone there made me feel they were happy to answer questions and address the issue. I cannot say enough good things about the experience.“

“The best pizza. In a long time“

“New Favorite Italian Spot! We came here for my brother’s rehearsal dinner, and wow—Matteo’s absolutely blew us away! My husband and I loved everything we had: the lemon chicken was tender and flavorful, the Alfredo cavatelli was creamy perfection, and the sausage and meatballs were just incredible. Honestly, I can’t even pick a favorite—they were all that good. The bread and butter? Probably the best we’ve ever had. The cozy, old-town vibe of the location just added to the charm, and the service was top-notch. You can really feel the care and warmth of a true mom-and-pop Italian place. We’ve officially found our new go-to spot. If you’re a fan of Italian food and great hospitality, do yourself a favor and check out Matteo’s!“

“Food is excellent!! And our waitress was on the ball..great service!!“

“Yesterday we went to Amici pop up bar for a late lunch. There was 4 of us in our party. We were greeted with a very happy and pleasant girl that directed us upstairs for the romantic pop up bar for Valentines Day. The ambiance was spot on for a perfect meal. 3 of the 4 of us got the chicken parmigiana. Absolutely delicious! Best I’ve had ever! The chicken was moist, breading and sauce was delicious and we were sad when it was all gone. Because we ate every bite. Our server, Chris (who was also the bartender) was extremely nice, spent some time chatting with us. We felt so welcome. He didn’t rush us and gave us some history on the restaurant. We will definitely be back very soon. 5 out of 5 stars. Highly recommend Amici’s. ❤️“

“First time there, can’t wait to return. Everyone was friendly, good service, great food reasonably priced. ?“

“My waitress Alexis was the best! I ordered the Salmon entree and it was so delicious! The bread and oil were the best I’ve ever tasted! This was my first visit and I’ll go back!“

“We stopped by this restaurant based on high recommendation of having great food. It may have great food, but quality service is lacking. After being seated for nearly 20 minutes and not having a waiter stop by to even ask for our drinks, I decided to walk to the host. Our server had apparently forgotten about us. Prior to this, I saw and waved at the manager, who clearly saw me, but who, instead, ignored me. By dessert time, one of us ordered key lime pie and was incorrectly given cheesecake. This time, it took nearly 15 minutes to get the key lime pie. Although I have to say the food/dessert were delicious, we were very disappointed with the service. This place should have it, but it was not there.“

“It took us a long time to try Barbarians but it is now our favorite. My husband likes the Lasagna. I like the Chicken Francaise... Delicious! I tried the Cajun Chicken Penne and that is my new favorite! Great place!“

“Amazing food and service! Highly recommended!“

“Great and warm atmosphere , the staff are very friendly. The food never disappoints. Highly recommend going there or doing take out !“

“The pizza was delicious, good price, super nice guy“

“I recently had a party catered on 4/13/24 by the North Royalton location. I just want to start off by saying everything was great! From the time I ordered it a week prior and working with Tina, to the delivery service being on time and the food hot and ready. Wonderful service! People were raving about the food, especially the fried chicken. We were a little bit past their delivery area, but they still delivered to us. I would recommend Mama Julianne’s Pizza for everyday and catering needs!“

“Ordered chicken parmigiana for a birthday party, it’s was amazing! Chicken was so tender and juicy!!“

“Dirte Pi never disappoints. Everything from their pizzas to their Korean fried chicken is always fresh and full of flavor. I highly recommend!“

“Delicious food and Excellent service“

“DO NOT RECOMMEND! Horrible service for mediocre food. Refused an individual with vision issues adequate utensils to eat. The employees are rude, ignorant, and discriminatory (ring a bell Sean?!). I would NOT recommend this dump to my worst enemy. Avoid this place at all costs. Seems the owner only allows “recommendations” and “positive reviews”-no way to give a poor review…interesting tactic.“

“We ordered from Dante's today for the first time and let me tell you The pizza was perfect. And the Buffalo wings, barbecue wings OMG Absolutely absolutely amazing ...We will be ordering again to try other items thank you 😍“

“A group of us traveled from Wooster to the IX center for the auto show and wanted to try a local pizza place. Sauced was recommended by a lady in the Ohio pizza fanatics page, what a great recommendation! Very good pie, some of the best I ever had. The staff were very friendly, the wait time to receive our food was minimal. They have a few tables set up inside for dine in and a drink cooler with soda and water, so perfect if you wanna dine in. I got a pie with pepperoni, sausage, and ricotta cheese, absolutely banging 🤌🏻 the breadsticks were great also and come with red sauce to dip them in. Overall great experience and will be making more trips to this location!“

“Excellent! Just go and try!“

“I had a great experience here. Staff was very friendly and outgoing. Me and my family first time having their pizza. We live two hours away in Columbus and came up to Cleveland for a little road trip for my wife birthday.

Although my wife likes her pepperoni a little bit more crispy, the pizza was amazing. We did half cheese and pepperoni since I don’t eat pork. The pizza was very flavorful and the Cajun dry rub wings were very delicious to, and it had my taste buds rushing in.

The guy there was very kind to my 21 month old daughter as he gave her a cookie and my she enjoyed that. This is the type of customer more restaurant need to take lessons from because unfortunately other mom and pop restaurants I had bad experiences and had to write bad reviews based upon the service I receive. Plan to come back whenever I am up to Cleveland Ohio.“

“Bought a pepperoni and sausage pizza! Excellent! Sauce was great and crust was perfect not soggy ! Just the right amount of pepperoni and sausage and cheese. Love the dried herbs sprinkled on top!!! This will be my go to for pizza !!!!“

“We love this place! We get lunch for our team here from time to time. Thanks!“

“The food is absolutely delicious! You can tell they put a lot of time into their food, it is some of the best Italian food I have had. Its reasonably priced and the staff are personable and friendly!“
