9 Best Italian Restaurants near Sandusky

“My husband and I had our micro-wedding dinner at Sortino’s and we could not have had a better experience! Charity, the restaurants’ general manager, and her team went above and beyond to make the evening so incredibly memorable and perfect. Charity made sure Mr. Sortino himself stopped by to meet us and spend time with us- making our night even more special 💕. Don’t even get me started on the food! Everything was delicious. Highly recommend the Chicken Marsala and the Anti-Pasta Board. Only complaint is how far away from us Sortino’s is (we live in Virginia) ☺️. Thank you so much to Charity, our server, Nick (I believe), Giorgio, and the entire Sortino’s staff!“

“I've eaten there more than a few times and tonight, the change in bar staff really showed. I planned on ordering my favorite pizza in town- the Cubano, which has always been good with the mustard taste at the top and i ordered desert to go and sporadically added an app. All my bad there for bothering this poor soul behind the bar, asking why this pizza was covered in mayo, i guess they added more "honey mustard aioli" and shoved it back at me but it's going no where but the trash, so I paid, tipped, and as I left this poor man mutters "i wish I wasn't here" I get about 3 dinners a year, if that, alone without my kids and I'll go where your old bartender is next time, or anywhere that will fix their mistake and not shrug at me. I'm not here for Bike Week 🤷‍♀️ You re only as strong as your local supporters and I'm so sad my favorite pizza is just mayo now. He said they added more the cold sauce, what? Just what I needed, more sauce. I already asked once, he was clearly done with his night and honestly I can just take my money somewhere else, it doesn't matter. I know.“

“I'm not sure about every location, but this location has a wonderful little nook with a table that can seat up to 12 individuals. Perfect for having a birthday party anything like that. The staff were attentive and the service kept coming. It was an excellent choice and a wonderful venue for our party. I had their lasagna from the smaller portion options and it was absolutely delicious, just the size portion I wanted.“

“After an appt my husband had in Norwalk we stopped here for the first time in 10 years since I became gf. It was a magical Christmas wonderland as soon as we opened the door! Decked to the hilt and the special holiday menu was Christmas all the way with drinks too. I had a cold iced cocoa that had a rim of Vanilla Icing dipped in marshmallows! Are you KIDDING ME?🎄“

“Just ordered a small cheese pizza with green peppers. I asked for the top to have a little brown. This pizza was as I asked and it taste so good!!“

“This Marcos always has a great staff with even better deals for our meal! 🫶🏼“

“Very well put-together place. The Jamie Special was my all time favorite cuisine on the menu, just before the spaghetti. Would come again to see the beautiful chefs and handsome waiters.

Kid-friendliness: Great for kids, great for the family.“
