“I was traveling through the area and am very fortunate to have found this jewel! The atmosphere was welcoming and the food was absolutely fantastic!! I started with fried pickles, which were crunchy and simply delightful. Our entrees were incredible. It was obvious that the food was prepared fresh from high quality ingredients, and I want to come back again and again!!!!!“

“This is a great family owned Italian speciality food store. Growing up in Michigan, there was an abundance of Italian owned mom and pop shops. Once I moved to Ohio, I was elated to find DeVitis Italian Market. Their foods are freshly prepared and their customer service is excellent. And once I tried their pasta sauce, I was hooked. If you are looking for some great Italian food, look no further than Devitis!“

“I was absolutely starving! I tried ordering on the app but it would only let me pick a time for tomorrow for pick up.... so I drove there and I was a bit nervous walking in as it was close to closing time. However, I received a very friendly greeting from Kory, he kindly reassured me that it was fine to order and he made the most delicious BLT piada and Basil Pesto Pasta dish for us. He was absolutely awesome!! Thank you so sincerely Kory. The food hit the spot. Thank you Piada!“

“I've been telling my family that this is my favorite restaurant for the last two years. I finally got to take my dad here. He tried the veal scallopini and loved it. He said wow with every bite. I love trying their specials every month. There is a reason why this place is always packed and why I keep returning. It's amazing.“

“Absolutely wonderful is the only thing I can say about our dining experience last night at D’Agnesse’s on White Pond. We were celebrating my husband’s 80th birthday and there were 10 of us. Everyone was happy with their meals, and everything was delicious and delivered in a timely manner. Drew was our server, and he did an outstanding job! We brought a cake and he delivered it to our table at the perfect time! Drew truly helped make the evening perfect and memorable. My husband and I had the lamb shank which is one of the specials for April. It was superb. Thanks, Drew and D’Agnese.“

“First time ordering from Big Star thanks to a pizza group I’m in on FB. Expansive menu including pastas, salads, burgers yes burgers, some Greek options and other Italian options. I can’t wait to order from here again. The person taking my order was super friendly. Pizza came out amazing. Ordered the New York style with all veggies and a side of garlic dipping sauce. Also Not greasy either. Crispy and balanced. So so yummy. Ordered the breaded mixed veggies as well. Delish breading. Recommend.“

“The food and service were excellent. The chicken Parmesan was outstanding, and so were the meatballs for an appetizer. We made reservations at the last minute, but next time will try to make them several days ahead, to get better seating. We were seated outside in the enclosed area in the front of the restaurant. It felt a little like sitting in a fishbowl because the tables ran alongside the front windows of the restaurant. Other than that, it was a great meal and we will be back.“

“Great experience in the building that housed the original Rocknes - gives the venue a pleasant, "old school" vibe. Everything here is done from scratch. I had one of the best hamburgers I've had in recent NEO experience and my wife's gnocchi were spot on. Cocktails were very good (and generous!) and a small but thoughtfully chosen wine list. The servers were extremely friendly and welcoming, and were "on it" in every way. Very nice time, will be back!“

“I had the fish and it didn't taste that great. Everyone else liked there meal especially the lasagna. This house salad dressing was the bomb and the apps where great to. Menu said the onion rings where beer batter but the where breaded. We prefer beer batter. Over all I would say it was almost a 5 star. Staff was friendly and attentive.Wheelchair accessibility: The do have handicapped parking and once in the restaurant it all on one floor.“

“The best extra cheese pizza in northfield. Spinattos is good, but you can not go wrong at all for the value here.Awesome with kids and has always been great to mine, gave them stuffed toys when my son was crying.Family owned and hand made, theres pizza all over this town but this is one of the only places you can go and sit down and eat these days.“

“Hello my family and I have been searching for a place that has pizza like mazzones. It was definitely a standard in my family during the holidays and apparently in others as well. I asked Facebook for recommendations for the best pizza that compares to Mazzones and I ended up getting over 100 comments. Some were places I never heard of and some were popular places. Molisanas wasn't high on the list but it made my list. I picked 5 places so my family can try and Molissnas was number one for all. Not only was the pizza delicious I was able to taste there sausage and it was amazing. The moment I walked in everyone was very welcoming. Thanks for giving us a great pizza and bringing back great memories. Happy Holidays“

“Excellent Italian food. Lunch was delicious my dad had the pick three and had a salad/pasta/veal and was pleased. I ordered the fettuccine and veal in a Marsala sauce and it was outstanding. Will definitely return.UpdateSecond visit was even better than the first visit. Food is outstanding. Staff is excellent. I had tomato cream angel hair with chicken and my dad chose the penne with peppers sausage and onions. Looking forward to having dinner here.“

“Loved our time at D'Agnese last night. The food was delicious and when I ordered my pasta GF, the chef asked if I wanted my chicken D'Agnese GF too. I was so impressed by this and how delicious it was, we will definitely be back, even though it is one of our favorite restaurants. Service, food, ambience totally five stars!!“

“Got the family meal with meatballs, Italian sausage, rigatoni, salad, and bread. Meatballs are excellent, the Pizzeria salad was great, and the bread is to die for. The assortment of cookies for the desert was very good. Recommend this place for good quality food and fast easy takeout.“

“We ordered take out for the first time at Angelina’s Pizza and we loved it. They had great energy on the phone to place the order and kind at pick up. Not to mention, the pizza and salad was GREAT. 10/10 will get Angelina’s Pizza again. “

“By far has the best pizza and salads! Nothing fancy and thank goodness they haven't changed a thing since I was a kid and would go after a football games every Friday! So many great memories here! Always familiar faces, great service and feels like home!“

“This is not a “dine in” establishment. It has all the hallmarks of a hole in the wall dive joint, very unassuming and clearly has been around a long time. And the good thing about that is it is family owned, you always get a good attitude here unlike other places who treat you as if they’d rather you didn’t bother them. The best thing about all this is long time tradition and recipes for ridiculously good pizza. Their Sicilian style is hands down the best pizza in the area. I’ve yet to have any quality problems with this place- everything is on point that I’ve ever tried there and this has gone back consistently to the 15 years or more since I discovered them. Excellent pizza, beware it is extremely filling. A solid fried chicken and fish spot too.“

“I truly don't understand some of the negative reviews. I consider myself a regular at this restaurant and as many times as I have been there I have NEVER had a bad experience yet. The Salmon Oscar is great. The pasta is very good and I will forever be a fan of the risotto. This place is a one of my favs.“

“There were 9 of us from Parma Heights senior center on Friday March 1st this was our 2nd time being at your restaurant we love the food we we're all in shock when our waitress Hilary told us the bill was all paid for by a anonymous person whoever you are thank you from the bottom ??? of our hearts ❤️❤️ The bill was over 300.00 and also we had the best waitress Hilary she treated us like Queen's Thank you so much and I plan on paying it forward“

“Very nice staff. We got an extra large thin crust, and it will work for us for at least two maybe three meals. The vegetables tasted so fresh and the thin dough was perfect. I got to watch some pizzas being made, and it is an amazing place and wonderful to see, homemade everything!Vegetarian options: Fabulous eggplant, artichokes, olives and other delicious optionsParking: Parked right in front of the building“

“Really good food. Fresh bread and olive oil. Loved the warm olives. I ordered the Rustic pizza. Others ordered lemon chicken with angel hair pasta and ravioli...all very good. Our server Gina was great very attentive....made sure our glasses were full...great place. I'd go there more than once a week just to eat those warm olives.“

“(Midas guys) Had chicken Alfredo. Fantastic! Noodles were cooked perfect! texture was spot on! Sauce was out of this world!!! Perfect !! Made from scratch per order! You can't ask for a better meal!! Bread was even warmed to the perfect consumable temperature!! My go to for chicken Alfredo!“

“MacKenzie P was amazing. She was the bartender and our server and she was extremely attentive the whole time we were there, our drinks were always full, our bread and dip replenished, and my husband's soup kept coming. Thank you MacKenzie.“

“The pizza place has pretty good pizza but the sauce on the pizza is a little sweet and if you don't like sweet sauce then you will probably not like this pizza much especially if you are like me I don't like sweet pizza sauce it tasted like a bag of sugar but other than that it was pretty good my wife liked it and that's the most important thing“

“We always enjoy going to Piada. The kids meals are a great size (pasta) and the kids get to customize. My partner and I enjoy the wraps. There are lots of fresh ingredient options and customization is easy.We also enjoy the unique Italian soda as a drink option.It's simple to eat in or grab it to go!Vegetarian options: Can easily customize for vegetarian optionsDietary restrictions: You get to select all the items added so you can adjust for any dietary restrictionsParking: Nice lot right outsideKid-friendliness: Very kid friendly with customizable options“

“Dined at Coco Bella with my parents last night. Service was excellent - the two waitresses we interacted with were lovely and so attentive. They provided great recommendations for apps and entrees. Food was delish (especially the garlic rolls) and portions were huge! Both servers offered to wrap our leftovers - they did so in a way that wouldn't leak on the way home (thank you!) and offered extra dinner rolls (bonus!). Overall we had a great experience + highly recommend this local gem.“

“For being a deep dish Chicago Pizza snob I have to say this place was amazing. I had the gluten free Sicilian Detroit Style pizza with spinach, green pepper, and pinched Italian sausage. I have to admit this has now earned by favorite local pizza establishment. Cheese was great and the toppings were fresh. Service was spot on and friendly. Very easy to order on-line too.“

“Have only tried the salad and pizza so csnt speak on other items. The salad is really good. White pizza is outstanding. You do have to get the pizzas well done or they tend to be a little doughy. Don't understand the low reviews but this place is a solid choice with giant pizzas. Also the byob option is a nice touch.“

“Just so you know if you order mozzarella sticks they are not made with mozzarella and does in fact have a unique taste. Not the greatest…and the pizza tastes like gas station pizza. Grab some from the Sunoco around the corner for cheaper ?‍♀️ nice people though “

“Was seated in the covered front paito (40* outside) which has no heating other than a fan blowing warmish air from the lower patio. The service manager checked on us a couple times, after a table opened up in lower patio she asked us if we would like to move, (where the heaters are). Food is good, good selection of wines, prices are reasonable until you get hit with the 3% credit card fee. Luckily we paid with cash.“

“Stopped in for dinner tonight and had a truly lovely experience! Jo, (hostess/server extraordinaire) made us feel right at home. My husband loved the 4 cheese paperadelle (and he is not usually a fan of cream sauces so this is a huge compliment:). I ordered the Alfredo with linguini and shrimp…..fresh pasta made all the difference, shrimp was perfectly cooked, and the sauce was awesome! Was that roasted garlic I tasted in there? We don’t need the chef’s secret, but it was the best Alfredo I’ve had in a long time! Eggplant appetizer was piled high, yummy, and we definitely had to get boxes and our tiramisu to-go. Thanks for the hospitality, we’ll be back!“

“Recently we came here with about 10 people. I hadn't been since I was a kid. Everyone's food looked and tasted great and even the half size portions were too filling for most of us! I was very thankful to see such fair prices and a decent kids menu. I absolutely plan to come back here more often. The only changes I would make would be some plating suggestions like to serve chicken Parm on a plate instead of a bowl and to serve the bread as fresh as possible.“

“It was our first time there. Overall our waitress was extremely on top of things and she was pregnant so I give her a lot of credit for that I got the chicken wings they could have been a little bit more garlicky and a little bit more parmesan to give it more flavor the pizza was okay just a regular one a little thin the drinks were good overall is pretty reasonably priced I think the mozzarella appetizer was pretty good could have been a little bit hotter we didn't realize that it had a bar area bro that's probably where we would sit a little bit more entertaining“

“We love Jet's pizza so much! My kids will ask for Jet's everyday if they could. There are some hit or miss days where the pizza is overcooked and tough to eat but when you catch them on a good day and it's baked just right... ::chef's kiss:: o good.“

“I was unable to drive due to personal reasons but was craving pizza. Brandon went above and beyond and got me me pizza delivered after they closed. He even brought me a bonus treat of a brownie for me being patient. 5 star employee. Give Brandon a raise please!!!“

“Highly recommend Bricco! Not only is it a terrific restaurant with delicious food and a great staff, it is also a wonderful spot for any special event! Stacy made sure my event went smoothly and was very responsive to all my questions. Food was delicious and I received many compliments! Thank you Bricco West!!“

“Everything was simply perfect! The vibe is high end but relaxing and inviting. The wines are amazing, the happy hour on Saturday is such a great deal. The chicken parm was the absolute best I’d ever had in my entire life. The dessert was phenomenal too. Highly recommend!“

“AMAZING place for a date night with cozy tables and friendly service. Cloth napkins and cute tableware. Food was delicious - we got the meatball platter, artichokes, pizza, and dessert. Italian beer on tap was a plus! Mia anticipated our needs and made it happen.Parking: Learn to parallel park for the close in spots hahah!“

“My dinner was excellent! Loved it! My wife's dinner was not. Unfortunately the dish looked great “Shrimp Scampi with Angel hair pasta. Pasta was overcooked and she could not eat it. We should complained but didn't. I am sure it was just a mistake and cooks might need to have a little more training. I would definitely come back and give it another try. Restaurant was clean and people friendly! Service very good. Been there before without any issues. It is a 30 minute drive for us to get there, so to make a special trip might not happen for a while. Just a mistake that can be fixed .“

“The food was delicious and portions were good! Our server could have been a little more attentive. She left to bread and didn't come back. Finally asked another person and learned fresh bread was made and just coming out of oven. He even came back to let know it would be just a few minutes. Server brought bread, nice and warm!“

“Phenomenal service. Today my company wanted to order pizza for lunch and we typically allow our employees to order what they want. We sent in an over 300.00 order online so the manager called me just to check to make sure we didnt need anything else and advise the time difference might be a little longer because it was a large order. We were told 2 hours at 11:49 and our food was delivered to our buisness by 12:45! They were kind and polite and all the food was delivered correct and so tasty. Thank you romeos!“

“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.“

“We love your chicken and JoJo's. Every time I am in your area I stop in. Is there any thoughts of opening a restaurant in the maple hts area. If so there is a pizza shop at the corner of Rockside & Dunham RDS. It was shut down for illegal gambling. I think you could do a good business here.“

“Always good, hot, delicious meals! Better house salad than their major Akron competitor's.Service is fast and extremely courteous.I am so glad Parasson's is so successful and so close to my home."Thank you Staff for Your Great Service! My Family Appreciates You!“

“The food and service were both amazing. They brought out the most perfect salads I've seen in years with how bad produce is recently, and their house italian dressing was delicious. The bread was fantastic. I ordered the baked cheese ravioli for my entree and it was wonderful. To top it all off I got the canolli for desert and it was just as great. 10/10 will be back.Kid-friendliness: They have a decently extensive kids meal.Wheelchair accessibility: They have a special entrance for handicap access.“

“I was a HUGE dummy tonight and put in an order at Twisted Tomato. I ordered a bunch of food, pizza, calzone, fries, etc. It ended up being a pretty penny, but for the amount of food I ordered it was fair. The only problem was I selected pick up instead of delivery. I waited around for a few hours wondering where my food was until I noticed my mistake. I called the store, and talked to the manager. The store was about to close and she was so kind to send one of her people out to deliver my food even though I was the one that made the mistake. Please give this store your business. They deserve it. Not only is the customer service beyond excellent the food is great, and they are always consistent. 1000% recommend.“

“I had lunch here with friends. I ordered the fish and chips with remoulade sauce. I received one piece of fish and a good serving of fries. I did not receive the sauce until I was about half done with my meal. The fish and chips were good. The meal was 25.00 which I feel is high. Also be aware that 3% will be tacked on for credit card use.“

“First time visiting but Pitchfork has been on my list since opening. Given the Farmer's Rail track record, my expectations were set for a great experience and the team did not disappoint! Everything was exceptional, service, atmosphere and especially the food. Starting with my Black Walnut Manhattan, continuing with amazingly unique appetizers, to the taste bud satisfaction of the main course, I am looking forward to my next visit.“
