“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!!!🤩❤”

“I cannot say enough about Palazzo!!! Whether it is dine in or ordered to go, we have never had a bad experience here. Wait staff is amazing and the owner is one of the nicest people I've met! Lobster cooked beautifully, steaks cooked to perfection, the pasta was so flavorful and the salads were perfect. It's a quiet little spot but once you find it, you will be back!! Definite must do for our family!”

“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!”

“4 of us visited Bruno’s Sunday for dinner with a 6:45 reservation. Greeted immediately upon walking in. Bar area seats abt 10-15 and reservations can be made for bar seating as well! Within a minute of being seated our server had our drink order and returned with them. Appetizers ordered: Hot sausage stuffed peppers These weee absolutely awesome. Served with peppers and onions with a light marinara. Menu says “spicy”; they are medium hot but amazing flavor Artichoke The couple with us ordered these ?breadcrumb” battered and fried portion. Also sauced in hous made marinara. Entrees ordered: chicken parm, spaghetti marinara, scallops and pasta. All were tremendous! Our server Martha was spot on with everything, meal was very nicely paced. I spoke with the gentleman in charge to compliment him on his food and staff. This was our first visit but definitely not our last! This is a definite 10/10.”

“I’d like to keep this the best kept secret, but the tomahawk veal Marsala is, hands down, the finest meal I have ever eaten on Cleveland! Combine this with a cozy atmosphere, a friendly and efficient staff, and there’s no need to go anywhere else for an incredible meal!”

“Food was excellent. But don’t blink you’ll miss it! No signs outside marking the location. Service was much to be desired. All the tables condiments were empty and needed to be filled. Ordered dinner and appetizer, would have loved to try the dessert but apparently “the chef went home” and we couldn’t order it. That would have been great to know sooner, when we ordered our food we could have requested it then. Disappointed.”

“One of my favorite restaurants on earth. I've worked my way through about 1/3 of the menu and every dish is just the absolute peak of perfection. The pasta is always delicious. The meat is always perfectly tender. The specials are always enticing. The service is warm and kind and welcoming. I would recommend this place for anything from a romantic date or special occasion to just dinner with friends.”

“If I could give a higher rating than 5 stars I would. Ross and Mike were absolutely AMAZING to work with for our event. We had our Grand Opening at Skyline on Stokes and we had less than 4 weeks to put this together. Ross was so accommodating and was able to work it into their schedule even though they had already had another event that day. The customer service from the Staff was EXCEPTIONAL, the food was fantastic as well as the set up in the room, the drinks were amazing. They were able to accommodate specialty drinks that we requested and helped give us the ideas for and there was another full bar outside. They were able to provide a full execution of everything we asked for in such a little time frame. Thank you Ross and Mike for making the night a success! We will recommend your services to anyone and we hope to do business with you again. Thank you”

“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.”

“5 star review The DAOU February Wine Dinner at Carrabba’s was nothing short of a culinary and sensory triumph. This was not simply a themed dinner. It was a carefully curated tasting journey, thoughtfully composed from first course to final pour, executed with remarkable precision and heart. The evening opened with the Strawberry Goat Cheese Crostini, a deceptively elegant starter that set the tone immediately. The whipped honey ricotta and goat cheese delivered a creamy, tangy foundation, beautifully balanced by the brightness of strawberry and the depth of balsamic glaze. The basil chiffonade added a subtle herbal lift, keeping the dish light, fresh, and refined. It was a perfectly calibrated opening note. Course two, the Tuscan Strawberry Salad with Shrimp, showcased exceptional balance and restraint. The strawberries were ripe and vibrant, offering natural sweetness against the savory depth of wood-grilled shrimp. The strawberry vinaigrette tied everything together with precision, while gorgonzola added just enough richness and complexity without overpowering the plate. Paired with the DAOU Rosé, this course was refreshingly sophisticated and brilliantly composed. The Garlic Lemon Herb Linguine with Grilled Chicken marked a beautiful transition into richer territory. The “Liquid Gold” sauce lived up to its name, coating each strand of pasta with silky depth while remaining remarkably clean on the palate. Bright citrus notes cut through the richness, and the grilled chicken was juicy, tender, and expertly seasoned. This course demonstrated technical control and thoughtful layering of flavor, elevated further by the Sauvignon Blanc pairing. The centerpiece of the evening was undoubtedly the Filet with Crab and Shrimp Crocchetta. The filet was cooked with impressive accuracy, tender and deeply flavorful, with a beautifully charred exterior. The crispy crocchetta added textural contrast and indulgent seafood richness, while the roasted red pepper sauce brought subtle sweetness and acidity. The supporting elements, garlic mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus, were executed flawlessly and grounded the dish. Paired with the DAOU Cabernet Sauvignon, this course was bold, luxurious, and immensely satisfying. Dessert, the Strawberry Sogno, was a masterful finale. Layers of dense chocolate brownie, airy mousse, and strawberry cream created a balanced interplay of richness and brightness. The presentation was elegant, and the flavors were indulgent without becoming heavy. The Pessimist Red Blend pairing amplified the cocoa notes while enhancing the fruit components, closing the experience on a high, memorable note. Throughout the evening, the pacing was impeccable. Each course arrived at exactly the right moment, allowing guests to fully appreciate every pairing and transition. The experience felt intentional, immersive, and expertly orchestrated. A special recognition goes to Laura and Crystal, whose service elevated the entire night. Their knowledge, attentiveness, and genuine hospitality made the experience feel personal and seamless. They anticipated needs, explained pairings with confidence, and created an atmosphere of comfort and refinement that complemented the cuisine perfectly. This dinner delivered the sophistication of a boutique winery tasting combined with the warmth and consistency Carrabba’s is known for. For the price point, the value was extraordinary. The quality, execution, and overall experience far exceeded expectations. This was not just a great meal. It was a thoughtfully designed culinary event that demonstrated respect for ingredients, technique, and the guest experience. An outstanding achievement. I would return without hesitation.”

“I ordered angel hair pasta with marinara sauce & shrimp. The sauce was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. I had take out & could smell its deliciousness before even opening the container. I could eat a vat of the sauce. This was my first visit & it won't be my last. I highly recommend this hidden gem.”

“First time at Corso's restaurant. The 3 of us could not have been happier with the this restaurant. We had calamari for an app, absolutely delicious! Main course came hot and the portions are plentiful. Best stuffed flounder I've ever had! AND, our server Trina (not sure of spelling) was the absolute BEST server EVER! Will be back soon! One small critique..........better Italian bread!”

“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!”
Una Pizza Napoletana, a popular spot in New York, has just been named the best pizza in the world by the 2024 Italian 50 Top Pizza ranking. This is a major victory for owner Anthony Mangieri, who has already earned the title of best pizza in the U.S. for three years in a row.
Naples-born Rosso Pomodoro has landed in Denver. The Italian pizza franchise just opened its first U.S. location in the city's Central Park neighborhood at 29th Ave Town Center. "It has long been a dream to introduce our brand of authentic Neapolitan-style pizza to every corner of America,” CEO Nicola Saraceno shared his excitement.
Totonno's Pizzeria Napolitana, a 100-year-old Coney Island eatery, is looking for a buyer or partner to keep its legacy alive, but it has one important condition. Totonno's has made it through fires, floods, and even COVID, but there's one thing they'll never tolerate: pineapple on their pizza.
