“Beautiful Italian Market with tons of delectable authentic Italian foods. A deli, bakery, grocery store, and a pleasant eating area all in one place. The canoli are just like the ones I had as a child. We discovered Alesci's and will definitely be going back.“
“Lots of recent negative reviews, but we had a great experience. We're from out of town and were told to try this place. I ordered the Detroit style, butter crust, and bruschetta pizzas. They were all delicious. The garlic twists needed more garlic butter. I would go there again.“
“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!!!!!“
“Absolutely one of the best meals all year we have had. Cafe Toscano is fast becoming one of our favorite authentic and fresh Italian restaurants. From the arancini made hot and fresh to the homemade bread and wonderful entrees (saltimbocca with the vodka cream linguine) and desserts...how can this be this good in Aurora? They make plates fresh and just for you so don't expect a quick microwave or go waste your time at Olive Garden. The suggestions and service from Ashleigh is awesome and like you're the only table she running (not true). Thanks“
“One of the best kept secrets on Chagrin Boulevard and a short distance from the busy area where all the restaurants are located. The place is nicely laid out and decorated, with a bar, two dining rooms, a fireplace, and big tables that can accommodate large parties with ease. Plenty of choices on the menu, all Italian (obviously), with excellent service and relatively high prices.Vegetarian options: Veggie Pizza, Salads, and Pasta Dishes with No Meat.Parking: Big parking lot by the building where the restaurant is located.“
“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.“
“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.“

“Had the fettuccine alfredo....the best I ever had. The portion was huge, so was the salad.I've eaten at many Italian restaurants, to me, the best. Great atmosphere too. I can't wait to go again! ?Kid-friendliness: The waitress was awesome. At the end of dinner the owner introduced himself. I liked that a lot. Made you feel like family.“
“Exceptional dining experience in Gates Mills. Chef Richie’s rack of lamb and my husband’s pork chop were delicious. They accommodated my wheat allergy with care. Ample gluten free options on the menu. The potato skin appetizer was delightful, and the dessert special was decadently divine. From the warm reservation call with the owner to Claudia’s impeccable service, this restaurant stands out as one of the best in Cleveland and beyond. Can’t wait to return!“
“Our server, Eugene, was excellent. He was formal as well and friendly. He was attentive and prompt. He helped make our excellent meals more enjoyable. The noise level was pretty high, but the room was crowded and the tables were close together. It is expensive, but for special occasions, just right.“
“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.“

“Look, I'd give this place 5 stars but I dont like to overhype a spot. I will say this though: Geraci's has been in University Heights since 1956, and it's no question why. Geraci's offers a full menu of Italian based cuisine but for me, it's largely about the pizza. The occasional eggplant parm add-on, or the frequent house salad are ordered, but the pizza is our go-to. Personally, we go for the deluxe, and the Red Sicilian (no cheese except grated Romano). On the red, its a perfect bread and red sauce bite. On the deluxe, all veggies are fresh (particularly the mushrooms, uncanned), and the meats are unique. Nowhere in Cleveland have I tasted a sausage like on a Geraci's pizza. I have wondered if it is made in house, but note it does have fennel seed (which I love, and almost require) and is crumbled finely. The pepperoni is likewise unique. I have no idea where they source it, but it is nicely spicey, and hand-sliced. It's a hallmark thing for a Geraci's pie. Hand-sliced, slightly irregular pieces of pepperoni, which at times feel like "the steak of Italian charcuterie" (my own words). Bottom line: try a pepperoni and/or a pie of your choice, pair it with an Italian red wine like a Montepulciano or a glass-bottle Coke, and go from there.“
“The best pizza in this area!! We tried many pizzas in different restaurants but my boyfriend and I agreed that Abo's pizza was the best. Their crust/dough was so good and had an excellent flavor. It was relatively thin but could hold the toppings. We had one of their specialty pizzas, Mediterranean, together with a Caesar salad. Large pizza was more than enough to share for two people. Service was good, prices were reasonable but we thought $10 for a piece of cheese cake was a bit steep. Anyways, we will go back there for sure.Update:We went back & ordered Calamari, Margarita Pizza (BEST) , Linguine with Calamari, & Gnocchi. Ordering a bottle of wine for three of us worked perfectly ?“
“Flour has become a go-to place for us. It has a diverse menu that caters to many tastes. We like sitting at tables, but if they are really busy and we go without reservations, the bar is comfortable and the cocktails are good.They give service with a smile. Their regular menu is good and their specials are great also. Last time there I had some awesome Lasagna. The portion size allowed me to have it for lunch the next day. The sauce and pasta were a great match. The Caesar salad was enough for two and the bread with olive oil and spices kept us busy while waiting for our entrees. The lava cake finished the meal just right.Flour is vibrant and a good place to celebrate.Tables not to close together, and walkways wide enough if to get around easily. If you like valet service they have it. During warmer months they have outside seating.We think if you go once, you will go back. We have many time.“
“The name says it all! I was very impressed with the unique flavors of the Mediterranean pizza. The flavors all went together splendidly. The additional vinegrete dipping sauce was the cherry on top! I can't wait to try another unique specialty pizza! The aspect that led me to this restaurant was the sourdough pizza dough. I had never heard of something like that. As someone who has made home-grown bread with just flour, water, and salt and a little time on the counter, it piqued my interest. I was not disappointed.“
“(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!“
“One of the better Pizza places in Cleveland. Great parking with Handicap access. They also have Fish selections for lent. I am definitely going back for anyone pie soon!Vegetarian options: There were vegetarian selections. Especially with the pizzas.Parking: Lots of parking in the back, and wheelchair win the front.Kid-friendliness: I saw several families with children. I didn’tPay attention as to a child’s selection on the menu, but what kid doesn’t love pizza?Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel chair access available.“
“Delicious authentic Italian food….wonderful, warm ambience. All the staff we encountered were so kind and helpful. Shannon and Anna gave the best service ever!! It is apparent everyone there works together as a team and it shows to the customer …made dining experience a great one!! No worries!! Entire restaurant an absolute “gem” of a place. Go and treat yourself! Someone highly recommended it to us and we’re glad we went. Loved the Lasagne and Caesar salad. So many desserts to choose from…Can't wait to return again. Mangia!…,Enjoy!“
“Great restaurant family owned and great atmosphere and service. Great place to spend your lunch time.Parking: Great wheelchair accessible and close to restaurant.Kid-friendliness: Great kids food on menu.Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap accessible and great parking“
“The food here is amazing. A large variety of Italian American food including pizza, salads, and soups. It's a very cramped space so you are sitting close to others and the walkways are tight and the noise from the kitchen rails though the place. Despite any downfalls, it's worth it for the food, except for the Calamari was over cooked.“
“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.“
“It was our first time eating here and we really enjoyed our meal. The fresh pasta and homemade focaccia bread were very good. I had the pasta Carbonara and my husband had the bolognese. Both were delicious! I ordered a slice of their Tiramisu to go. My daughter and I shared it and both agreed it was probably the best tiramisu we have ever had. Our server Jamie was very attentive and helpful. We will definitely be back.“
“Recently came out to grab a sandwich. They didn't have a Google Pay POS and I didn't have cash on me so I had to leave without getting food. Great place, definitely won't be my last time visiting and the service was friendly and understanding. They explained that they'd be getting updated POS machines soon. I caught the manager before she was leaving for the day and she understood the issue right away and took the time to explain the situation to me.“
“their food is delicious.... I'll get on a Kick and I'll start eating it everyday for weeks and then I won't eat for a while then I'll start eating is again...ECT ECT ....Wheelchair accessibility: they have is it wider so handicap ppl can get in the restaurant too...“
“Stopped in last night for dinner . Service was just as amazing as the food. Great vibe in the place ! The food tasted very fresh . Josh stopped by to check on us and make sure everything was perfect. He was great! Great experience all around. Definitely be back !“
“Wednesday night and we went to M Italian as we always do when we visit Chragrin Falls. But it wasn’t a particularly busy night due to storms in the area. Every other occasion we’ve been there, it’s quite busy. And for good reason. The food is excellent. We had the salmon and chicken Marsala dinners tonight, with house salads. All the food was excellent. And the service was great. We had Geraldine (Tina). She was professional, courteous, showed genuine care that we were taken care of, let us know about wine being 1/2 off on Wednesday. And then since it was later and most patrons had left she had some time to talk with us before we left. She is so pleasent, very welcoming, and made our entire evening extra special. All in all, this was a wonderful evening at M Italian! Even the valet service was great. .“
“OMG! I was on that side of town yesterday and stopped in for a quick bite to go and it was really good! Their pizza is like no other around town. Very fresh ingredients. Excellent service too! I typically don't leave reviews, but I popped open my browser and their listing was still there, so why wouldn't I?“
“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.“
“Bar Italia continues to be a family favorite. My wife and I love to eat at the bar when it’s the two of us. And our adult kids enjoy coming with us always. The food is tremendous and we love many things on the menu. The wine selection is also very good.“
“OMG I hadn't been there in years & it's still as wonderful as always. When I opened the door and smelled the awesome food a million wonderful memories came flooding back! Their bread is amazing! My Husband had the Italian wedding soup which is a very hearty soup! You definitely have to try it! The salads were fresh with excellent dressings. My husband had the house dressing and he was very impressed. I had the blue cheese and it was as tasty as I remembered! Then I got my favorite, spaghetti with mushrooms! It was even better than I remembered! My husband had veal piccata with the side of spaghetti that was the size of a main meal at other restaurants! We ended up bringing lots of food home!Dietary restrictions: Lots of gluten free options!Kid-friendliness: When my family would dine here the kids loved it! And they were very accommodating!!Wheelchair accessibility: Totally accessible for wheelchairs.“
“They are remodeling, so we were put in a bigger party room. It was loud but still decent. We've come here many times, the food is very good. My chicken pot pie special was outstanding! My husband had a chicken beet salad that was fantastic as well. I'm looking forward to seeing their new updated regular dining area. Plenty of parking too. We'll be back for sure.“
“A wonderful date night!! The ambiance is wonderful...warm and inviting space with live piano playing. Our wonderful waitress Marlena was very helpful and couldn't have been sweeter and more helpful. Food was delicious and d the drinks were creative and very tasty!! Can't wait to go back!!'“
“First time trying Piada and it was so good. We both got wraps. I got the avocado wrap and added grilled chicken and got him the BLT wrap with grilled chicken too. Both were so fresh! They were very full wraps too, not skimpy on the ingredients. I think I actually liked his better than mine. ? The people working there were the best! Very friendly and helpful.“
“So far, when ordering over the phone, the person on the other end is polite, clear to understand & feels like a long time ago, when you were known as the customer & valued & they valued themselves too.. the food is consistently good.. we have never eaten there, so I have no comment on the atmosphere.. but would think it is friendly & clean...“
“I had been wanting to try the pizza here, and it was everything I had hoped for. We ordered the garlic knots (something like bread topped with Everything Bagel seasoning), the Antipasto salad, and a large Deluxe pizza. It was VERY good. I walked in and ordered it. It was ready in about 20 minutes. I took it home but I would definitely eat in next time because the place was small but clean. The staff was very nice too.“
“Our leadership team went here for happy hour, and it was wonderful. The variety of appetizers worked for all of us. Unique specialty drinks are available but didnt appeal to the 4 of us. We were there for 3 hours and never felt rushed. Will definitely be back!Parking: Directly behind the building.“
