The classic combination of ingredients was a snapshot of what Italian cuisine is all about. The Lemon Chicken, Peppers, Meatballs, Pasta and Salad were Perfection .... the team loved everything!“

“My Favorite Italian Restaurant in town! Best food, wine, service and great atmosphere! Omg and did I mention desert ?! The most delicious! Valerio & Stella go above and beyond for their customers which they treat as a family! Highly recommend A +“

“9/24/2025: This place is a gem! The food and service was amazing! Our server Katina was very attentive and made sure everything was great throughout the night!! We also enjoyed talking with Moma and her daughter. Such an added bonus to the night to meet and hear their stories! Can't wait to go back---until then I will enjoy my left overs!!“

“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.“

“Food is amazing, service is excellent. Pranzo! does not disappoint.“

“Thank you for the lovely dinner! We had a fantastic time while visiting Cleveland. I’ll definitely be back.😘 Exceptional Italian food! 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹“

“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.“

“I had a wonderful birthday dinner with my wife on Saturday. The food was outstanding and the service even better! Jose brought me out a piece of tiramisu cake with a candle! Thank you everyone for adding to my wonderful birthday! We will definitely be back!! ❤️“

“This is officially my new Italian night spot. Everything tasted authentic and homemade, you can tell they use quality ingredients and put love into every dish. If you’re looking for authentic Italian food, I highly recommend Vittorio’s. I’ll definitely be back again and again!“

“The food was very good. I was a bit surprised that they don't grate fresh cheese here (and instead provide a shaker) since even Olive Garden does that. Also, the potstickers come in orders of four, which seemed stingy. Service was a bit lackluster. Our server had an attitude in particular; she left us hanging twice and muttered things under her breath walking past our table. And they were out of the dessert special that they offered us.

The food outweighed the lackluster service. Would recommend.“

“This place was awesome. Service, food and ambiance just what you’d expect in Little Italy. I had fusilla (spellcheck) puntenesca excellent!! We will be back.“

“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!“

“My husband, son, dog, and I went to Scotti’s for a late lunch and had an incredible experience. Our server Hayley was amazing and the food was delicious and authentic. We had the outdoor patio to ourselves so our dog could dine with us. We would definitely go back again!“

“Good food and service too.“

“Today I finally made it into Trios Italian Grille located at 7537 Mentor Ave #23, Mentor, OH 44060. I had been thinking about visiting here for years but they were not open at lunch. I really enjoyed my experience in their small dining room. I ordered an chicken parm pasta dish. I was very impressed by by the service too.“

“We got a last minute reservation on a Friday night after a recommendation. We weren’t sure what to expect, and we were VERY happy! I had a delicious classic Paper Plane cocktail and hubby ordered a bottle of red wine. We started with frog legs as an appetizer…lightly fried, and so much garlic and lemon…perfection! I had the chicken pitta, my husband had veal parm (our server Tony suggested it as it would go great with the wine he chose). Both dishes were so plentiful we each took half home. The amount of artichokes and red peppers on my piccata was very generous, they don’t skimp on anything! We ended the night with Affogato and it was also wonderful. Bottom line is the whole experience was great! We can’t wait to be back in Cleveland and come back…don’t miss out.“

“great food and vibe.m.want more!!!“

“Food and service were excellent. I recommend.“

“Tried Cuoco Bello for my first time tonight and it was delicious! I ordered the chicken parm for carry out and it was flavorful, a large portion size, and better than I had anticipated 😊 Just what I was looking for in a great meal! The staff was friendly and I can't wait to go back and try something else! Also, they have weekly specials so definitely check those out too! Highly recommend! 🍝“

“Took my wife out to dinner and everything from the moment we walked in the door was amazing! The hostess sat us and took our drink order and brought it over immediately. Our server Kim was fabulous! She was friendly and Courteous. Our food was amazing and portions were more than generous. Definitely a new staple in our dinner line up!“

“The food is always fresh and delicious!“

“Our favorite family restaurant. The best in little Italy, hands down. we've been coming here for decades and it never disappoints. Angelo & his staff are top notch.“

“The best pizza in Ohio!“

“We had my birthday celebration there. Let me tell you, the experience was just beautiful. There were 16 of us, and they catered to our every need. The serving staff was patient, and very thorough. They were so attentive, and made certain we were very well taken care of. THE FOOD! Man oh man. That food was the bomb. I think everyone had something different, and we are all still talking about how good it was! I recommend you have dinner with them. You will not regret it. It’s a whole vibe! ❤️❤️“

“The owners and staff are amazing and I’ve never had a bad meal there and one of my recent favorites is their chicken Marsala!“

“Very low key but if you know you know. I caught the chicken parmesean special. The chicken was crispy and help up against the sauce. You also get a salad and bread. Everything was ok but the atmosphere wasn't really welcoming. It kinda reminded me of a scene in Goodfellows and the Sopranos. It looks like you could have easily ran into John Gotti!!“

“Got pizza this weekend for the whole family and friends this and it was absolutely delicious!! Fantastic quality of products and look forward to going back again soon. Great job team!!“

“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.“

“My wife and I drove from Wadsworth, Ohio for a 1st time dining experience Guarino’s today 5/30/26. . It will definitely not be the last. Being a pleasant sunny day, we were seated in their tastefully decorated & tree shaded patio. The freshly baked bread, Chicken Marsala & Braciola with pasta/marinara sauce sides were all excellent. Layla, our waitress, provided outstanding service.“

“First time trying it and it was good! Definitely will go back when I visit town again!“

“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“

“I cannot say enough good things about this place! By far the most friendly staff I’ve ever encountered at a fast food restaurant. Even when they are busy, the employees are kind and courteous and take time to make quality food. After arriving late for business, I stopped here for a late night dinner and was very impressed that the food was fresh and they had all of their offerings even 30 minutes before closing. All of their food is such high-quality and always fresh. The head chef is phenomenal. He ensures each customer is taken care of and happy And is visibly supporting his staff along the way.“

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

“Best pizza in town!“

“📍 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.

“After looking into every restaurant in little Italy we ended up choosing borgata bar and we are so happy we did! Everything was amazing. The owner and staff were wonderful the food was delicious. Everything was just perfect.“

“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!“

“I ordered the spicy vodka pasta and it was delicious! My mom ordered the salad and that was also very good.“

“Unique, fresh, and delicious! We will definitely be ordering from here again!“

“My family and I are here from Arkansas, and we decided to try out Romito’s Pizza. 10/10 on everything, I wish we had this place back home. Everyone was extremely nice and made sure we had everything we could want. Not to mention it felt like a home cooked meal, straight from my own mothers kitchen in the best way possible. Thank you all for the best experience, I encourage everyone to try it out!“

“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.“

“I have dined at Alfredo's many times and have always been very happy with the food and the service. Restaurants in hotels are not always wonderful, but Alfredo's is. I came with a group of four ladies one of whom had never been there before. We were all pleased with our meals and with the service. We all had Italian entree and they were delicious.“

“Bring an extra stomach because you are going to want to try everything. Judy is an amazing server, even took our pasta we couldn't finish to the back to box it up. The next time we will get the pizza, and hopefully run on to Judy again“

“Had an amazing dinner this Friday night. Lynn was fantastic. We have enough from each dinner for 2 or more meals. Heve not been there for a very long time. Excited to go back soon“
