“Took the family tonight. Food was excellent. Our server Robin was great. The manager, Traci, even stopped by our table to chat with us. Such a nice evening!“

“Been patronizing Bucci's for years. Belong to the birthday club. Have had Easter and Thanksgiving dinners to go. All excellent. Celebrating Dave my husband's birthday today and greeted by Lisa S. our lovely server. Lisa was very attentive and gave us excellent service. The food was fantastic as usual. We both had lasagna, our favorite, with salads and the fantastic bread. The special tonight was chicken paprikash and we couldn't resist to order it to go for tomorrow night's meal. I had enough of my lasagna left for two more meals. Had tiramasu and chocolate cake for dessert. Since we ate late in the afternoon and Saturday night is our "pizza" night, we ordered a deluxe thin crust pizza to go also. Thank you, Lisa, for making our night so special. Sorry we didn't get to see Charles tonight, another one of our favorite servers. We definitely will be back soon. Carol and Dave T.\n\nShow less“

“I recently had a party catered on 4/13/24 by the North Royalton location. I just want to start off by saying everything was great! From the time I ordered it a week prior and working with Tina, to the delivery service being on time and the food hot and ready. Wonderful service! People were raving about the food, especially the fried chicken. We were a little bit past their delivery area, but they still delivered to us. I would recommend Mama Julianne’s Pizza for everyday and catering needs!“

“Stopped in to try and ordered the lunch special with 2 tenders with Carolina BBQ sauce and Tilapia. Lunch had generous portions for $7.99. Next time ill order a head because they make everything on the spot! Very good food and service. I will definitely be going back! Also very friendly owners“

“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.“

“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!“

“Amazing food and staff!!! They go above and beyond for their guests! Beautiful and elegant atmosphere!“

“Great food and service! Very enjoyable atmosphere! Large portions highly recommend!!!“

“This was a decent experience. The food was excellent except for the bread that was cold and hard as a rock. The waitress was a little less than attentive, but very sweet and polite (Rachel). She was a little busy on an earlier Sunday dinner time. (3pm)

They get a 5 star because my to go order dropped outside and they made me a new one and did not charge me. ❤️

(I did not point out that they packed the bag with the light salad on the bottom and the hot heavy dinner on top causing it to topple over as I walked to my car.)

The restaurant is a steady and reliable 4 ⭐“

“Stopped in at Olive Garden and had a great experience! The Italian Margarita was excellent — smooth, refreshing, and so good it could be dangerous if they served it by the pitcher. For dinner, I ordered the Shrimp and Chicken Carbonara, which was flavorful and hearty. The Chicken Gnocchi Soup hit the spot, and of course, you can’t go wrong with their classic salad and breadsticks. Everything came out fresh, the service was friendly, and I left full and happy. Definitely a solid visit!“

“Stopped at the aloha pop up bar, was so cute. Food and drinks were good. Our waitress was new but did an amazing job,“

“The best pizza. In a long time“

“Ordered chicken parmigiana for a birthday party, it’s was amazing! Chicken was so tender and juicy!!“

“Italian restaurant and everything is on point. I've come here after funeral and for work Christmas party. The only part I didnt like and maybe it was just the upstairs was the music was very anxious feeling but the food is 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Food is excellent!! And our waitress was on the ball..great service!!“

“Words cannot accurately explain how great our experience was tonight! I decided to celebrate my mom’s 78th birthday here due to the fact my mom loves Antonio’s pepperoni nuggets and she’s never been here before. We had 14 people in our party and Megan K. was an absolute rockstar! Everyone was so welcoming and gracious to my mom on her special day! Food was FANTASTIC!! Thank you all for a wonderful evening!“

“We recently had a wedding rehearsal dinner reserved at Aldo’s for about 25 attendees. The food was more than excellent and the service was wonderful. We had great communication and coordination with the owner and the event went very smoothly with quick service. We ended up going back a couple of days later for one more meal before leaving Cleveland. We will be back again the next time we are in the area.“
