43 Best Italian Restaurants near Northfield

“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.“

“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!!!“

“We love Russo’s, we have young kids and the owners and family who work there are so great with them. There isn’t service or pizza like this anywhere. All the pizzas are shrinking, Russos is not. We love them 💞“

“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.“

“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!“

“Absolutely love doing our celebrations at LockKeepers! We've celebrated our Birthdays and anniversaries here through the years and it was always such a wonderful experience each time! Jackie was the best server! She really took good care of us and made sure we were happy during and after our meals. She's absolutely the best server one can ever hope for! We always had a very good gastronomic experience here at LockKeepers! Definitely coming back soon to celebrate more milestones! Thank you! Keep up the great work that you do! 👍“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“The best food in the world, the best martinis in the world world, the best, the best, the best, the best the best lemon drops ever“

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

“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!“

“First time in tonight, but won't be the last! My shrimp and grits followed by the Chocolate Decadence were to die for - worth every calorie! Impeccable service courtesy of Joan. Highly recommend.“

“New higher end Italian! Staff is awesome!!! Food was fabulous! A little loud but that’s ok!!!!“

“I have had the pleasure of ordering from here since they have opened. The specials lately have been phenomenal love the change up! I ordered the Firebird Sandwich and The Pickled Pig Pizza, amazing I hope they keep both. Also always order the focaccia bread, you won’t be disappointed.“

“The food is always fresh and delicious!“

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

“📍 Deanatella’s Italian Deli – Valley View, OH 🧀🍕🥖 A true hidden gem that screams classic Italian deli the second you walk in. If you can name the deli meat, trust us—they’ve got it. Shelves packed, fridges loaded, and a full lineup of Coke products to wash it all down. We stop here 2–3 times a month, and for good reason. The food never misses. Here's what we had today: 🍕 Pepperoni Pizza – 8.1/10 Hot, fresh, and loaded with flavor. A crustless, center-cut slice of cheesy joy. No edge, no problem—it hits hard where it counts. 🍕 Sausage Pizza – 8.4/10 Same amazing base, but the sausage takes it up a notch. Big, juicy chunks of sausage packed with flavor. Definitely the MVP slice today. 🌶️ Mild Pepper Sub – 9.2/10 This one’s my go-to. Not super spicy, but absolutely loaded with flavor. The combo of peppers, melty cheese, and rich sauce makes for one giant, unforgettable sandwich. Perfect from the first bite to the last. The staff? Always friendly. The vibes? All Italian. If you’re anywhere near Cleveland, do yourself a favor and stop by Deanatella’s. You’ll thank yourself later. 🍽️ Two food lovers, one page—justifying our epic food binges, one bite at a time.

“We have enjoyed Delmonico’s twice now and they do not disappoint! Exquisite Dining! Absolutely delectable dishes! The Lobster Bisque is made with love and the feature, Japanese Wagyu was absolutely divine! We ordered the Béarnaise sauce but the steak did not need it at all! I don’t think I’ve ever experienced such a divine cuisine! Definitely recommend! I wish we lived closer!“

“Consistent. Friendly. Good food“

“I have food allergies - gluten and dairy. I got the ribeye and carrots. The flavor was absolutely phenomenal!! Friendly and very accommodating. Plus they have complementary valet, which was great with a very full parking lot!
Oh! Have you had the bolognase, per the server suggestion and it was great!!“

“What a gem!
Summer outdoor patio dinner with friends.
Apps, entrees, sides... hit the jackpot with everything we ordered. Outstanding, interesting flavors. Our servers guided us thru the menu. Great recommendations!
Fun full bar selections and a kids' menu too.
Love how they accommodated special diet requests.
Don't miss the pizzas. They also do carry out.“

“Always great pizza, love the sausage sandwiches too“

“No words…….. other than the best pizza ever.

I encountered while in town for work, and was floored.

I Love traditional NY style, Artesian, Oven, Brick…….. I love all pizza….. this was the best, a cut above for sure.

Incredible vibe and service as well

Went back multiple days in a row it was so good“

“Best pizza in town!“

“Great meals and service! Thank you“

“Piada was a lifesaver last night! Even arriving 30 minutes before closing, the staff welcomed me warmly, and the food was incredibly fresh and delicious. It was one the best late-night meals I've had, and the service was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“We loved it! they've had a couple NEW owners in the past couple years. THESE NEW OWNERS ARE GREAT, PERSONABLE, EFFICENT AND THE FOOD IS GREAT. THEY HAVE A NICE LIQUOR SELECTION AS WELL“

“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!“

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

“We’ve enjoyed many wonderful tasting menus over the years, but our New Year’s Eve experience at JoJo’s truly stood out as something special. Executive Chef Landon and his incredible Executive Sous Chef, Joe, presented our family with one of the most memorable and perfectly executed dinners we’ve had. Since we couldn’t decide between the options, we shared everything, and we’re so glad we did. The stone crab claws and lamb lollipops were an outstanding start. For entrées, my husband chose the bone‑in ribeye while I had the lobster ricotta agnolotti with black truffle. Both were exceptional. We ended the night by sharing the Luxardo cheesecake and the champagne‑poached pears, which were the perfect finish. The champagne and wine we were suggested were spot‑on, though the wine pairing would have been a great choice as well. The management team, with Mark and Ryan leading the ship that night, made the evening seamless, and our bartender, Michael, was an absolute professional. truly, everyone there is fantastic. Chef Landon once shared a quote with us from Oscar Wilde: “To the strangers that become friends and those friends become family.” That sentiment perfectly captures what we love most about every experience here. We could not recommend this establishment more.“

“We love @Zeppes bistro & Bar. Great service, delicious food! Have been customers for decades“

“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.“

“Wow! Food was delicious! Pizza was cooked perfectly with crispy pepperoni and no greasy crust. Chicken was awesome, as usual!“

“I had the calamari appetizer with a Bianca and verde pizza. The pizza was crushed garlic, arugula, Evo, cheese. Definitely enjoyed the flavors.“

“I have no idea why so many people say bad things about this place. I've been going there for the last year or so and have absolutely zero complaints. The food prices are more than reasonable, the food quality is very good and I've never had one single issue with any aspect. People need to stop looking for perfection as they define it.“

“best gluten free pizza EVER“

“Old school pizza shop with old school pizza. That's not a disparagement. It was very good. They put toppings under the cheese, and they do not skimp on toppings! I got The Regular which is double cheese and triple pepperoni. There was (almost) too much cheese and there was so much pepperoni. Probably the most stand out thing about this pizza is that they use real quality cheese. You can tell immediately from the texture.“

“You can only eat so much Italian food. A lot of the special food advertised were not available to order.. They put us where you could tell was their noisy kids area...Our kids were very well behaved that day.. basic low noise. However
the people behind us were talking about things you really should not in a restaurant and around kids. Mly dinner was spoiled for the day.. I feel Olive Garden owes all of us a new dinner. I really felt sorry for the waitress.
She was probably glad they left out of there. I know I was.. I mean keep it in the bedroom guys!“

“The bartenders are shifty asf. They only cater to the regulars. They need to start paying more attention to all the customers. Very ghetto and tacky for that fact.“

“Absolute fireball this place should be packed with a dining room in the next year to two years if you haven't had their food yet simply get an old world or thick cut or authentic original pepperoni pizza one taste and I'll send you back to your childhood with nostalgia that you can't compare there is no pizza like this and I absolutely guarantee I would choose this place first out of three that I love try it today I vouch it'll become your new favorite highly recommend that you try their full menu they do catering and they do have a very broad spectrum on topings this place would absolutely come highly recommended by me to anyone willing to listen or that asks would that being said you guys have an amazing day“

“It was nice to go out with family and relax for the night“
