Dog Friendly Restaurants University Heights

“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.“

“Wonderful serving ! Larenzo was a wonderful server, thanks for all your help !!“

“This location is under new ownership and management as of about August 2022. I have to say that the quality has improved a lot since. Bit of a tip. It's fresher and much more delicious if you pick it up vs Door Dash. DD drivers drive around for half an hour, go in all sorts of weird directions and the pizza is cold by the time it gets to you. You can't get extra cheese with Door Dash, either. You have to order by phone and pick up.“

“Wonderful food! Friendly atmosphere“

“First time eating there and I was impressed and pleased with the entire experience. The food was great and the staff was outstanding! We will be back.“

“Great people!!! Pastrami reuben is AMAZING“

“The four of us had a great experience at Borroco Larchmere on Thursday evening. We appreciated the spacious, uncrowded ambience and low noise level. We also found the unique dishes very tasty. This was one of our best restaurant experiences in recent years.“

“We have been coming to Hot Grillz Diner since we saw it on New Day Cleveland (way before the pandemic). Karen and crew are awesome and the food is fabulous. No matter what you decide to order I promise that you won't be disappointed. We have brought friends here who are now regular customers. Come in once and you will be back!“

“Honestly, I’ve never been a regular to any place, ever- in my 30 something years of life … That is, until I found this place. Both the crafty - delicious, calming, alcohol-free, cocktails, AND the absolutely amazing staff making them, keep me coming back on days when I need a little bit of a boost or a reward! The owners… I’ve never met such kind & involved business owners, of any place, ever! Which is probably why the staff, that they’ve got has the same amazing appeal , always so very welcoming and nice to be around! The atmosphere is artsy , and inviting too! I’m not a downtown Willoughby girlie - or much of a bar-gal, either , but Kava Sol has definitely become my jam ! Love it ! 11 out of 5 stars ⭐️ 😇❤️“

“Fantastic Soba noodles (cold dish)! Great staff (Thank you, Shannon),very nice atmosphere. A wonderful night out with the Mrs. was made extra special. Can’t wait to go back.“

“Great food and MILKSHAKES!“

“This is my first time here I was really confused at first what a call things like a bowl of burrito but he was very helpful and then when I got to the front, they said since it was my first time, but it’s on I’ve never had a place do that before it honestly made me feel really good And I love the food after I ate it I would love to come back“

“Yummy latte. Got the spiced coconut latte with oat milk. Very helpful and friendly staff. Husband got blood moon tea and it was delicious too.“

“Fantastic food and service!“

“Catering for Our Film crew was Perfect after a long day on Set!! Every dish was a celebration of Italy's culinary traditions, fresh, high-quality ingredients. 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!“

“Always a great variety of ice cream! The toasted pistachio in a waffle cone is absolutely delicious! There's handicapped parking, but the door is not automatic, so I had to wait for someone to come along who was willing to open the door for me. The seating was nice, and the tables looked clean. The ice cream is a bit pricey but is very delicious.“

“Please come here. So yummy and the workers are incredible <3“

“I have breakfast here every Friday and I love their food. I have met some of the nicest people that are regulars here like I am. The staff is awesome! The service is wonderful thanks to Lisa, Ricky and Ian.“

“Very accommodating and great food!“

“Another great experience...fast...good shakes“

“Great place!!! Lots to do and always hosting a variety of events for adults and kids!!“

“Excellent lunch and friendly service from the owner himself!“

“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!!“

“So friendly and fun. Great place to stop in for a cocktail“

“I recommend Te’Amo to all my friends ! Specifically, this location . It’s always so clean and lloyd and the rest of the staff is so helpful and nice no matter how large my order is. Not to mention how delicious their boba is ! I definitely recommend!!“

“📍 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. Follow along at @joeandjrkfoodreviews for mouthwatering meals, honest scores, and the best hidden gems you need to try. Come hungry.“

“very nice spot with good coffee, good service, and a very nice atmosphere.“

“The food was amazing like OMG! I am so glad I chose this as my birthday meal. Everything was flavorful, portions were generous and I did my happy dance while eating my oxtails. My Mom got the curry goat and my sis got the curry chicken. I had to try theirs too! Everything was on point and the owner is so sweet🩷“

“I've been going here for years, since before I was in high school (I'm in my early 40's). The service is always good, food is good. Prices are great, especially compared to other breakfast places. I was initially worried when I heard that Marc Glassman bought it but so far it's been steady.“

“The Wine Spot is a fantastic choice for carefully curated craft beer and wine. The excellent service is an obvious extension of Heights-owned family expectation for doing things right. The Wine Spot is more than a wine store or bar: It's a Cleveland Heights gathering place.“

“A bit loud, but not beyond what you would expect for a beer hall. The food was excellent, and the variety of brews was great. Also appreciate that they have some NA options.
Seating is communal, so if you are a small group (2-4), expect to share a table with another small group.
Overall I highly recommend checking this place out.“

“We always have a great meal at Korea House. I crave their budae jjigae“

“Wow!! Just wow!!!
Our friends who are regulars here invited us to try this place.
We had the octopus appetizer and it was a perfect 10+
Cannot even explain how tender and amazing it is!
We were told they have the best steak you will ever eat.
Yes it is the best steak ever!! Portion is crazy huge and every bite tender and delicious.
I had the Said boullebais and it is amazing. The broth is piping hot. The lobster, scallops, shrimp, clams and muscles were perfectly cooked. Huge!! Enough to share.
Cocktails were spot on.
My friend had asparagus soup and had me try it . Yes it was beyond terrific.
Now I have to go back to have it. The chef visited our table and he was so welcoming.
Our server Rose was perfect and so knowledgeable.
I highly recommend this place
There are at least another dozen items on the vast menu we must try.“

“Great brewery with great food and excellent staff.“

“Chicken bacon ranch taco is absolutely amazing. Great vibe here, very chill and welcoming. Artwork is amazing, staff is helpful food is fantastic, drinks are classic to unique depending on what you are in for. Love this place and would highly recommend.“

“Friendly service . explained the flavors... the right price“

“I got the 1/2 pound bacon BLT and the Chicken Tenders with French toast. Lots of quality food, and fast, friendly service. I will recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants quality at a fair price. For a small sit down/carry out restaurant, I thought the place was super clean and new looking with white quartz counters and white wall tiles. Looks very new inside.“

“Great food An experience.“

“Karen is a hoot! We had an amazing dinner and even better service. 10/10 recommend!“

“Friendly atmosphere and a lot of drink choices.“

“I love eating at Gateway diner. It’s always a friendly experience. It feels like Home there. The staff is so kind that atmosphere is so warm. It’s got that true diner experience that you don’t often get anymore plus the pancakes slap.“

“Great breakfast and lunch sandwiches. Especially the Brisket!❤️“

“My husband and I Stopped in randomly after driving past on a Saturday afternoon. We loved it. Sat at the bar. Talked to one of the owners who served up a fantastic cranberry orange margarita! Cozy atmosphere. We shared the breakfast burger with the most perfectly fried hash browns and a side of the Brussel sprouts! No complaints. Everything was delicious! Highly recommend!“

“Cute cafe in a quaint Cleveland neighborhood. The staff was friendly and the food was delicious.“

“We had such a great experience at Candy Cloud in Willoughby! We ordered a mix of treats, including the Blended Blue Coconut Lemonade, Birthday Cake layered, and fun add-ins like Sweet Cream Cloud Foam, Sour Blue Raspberry Boba, and Strawberry Popping Boba, everything was delicious!

The Blue Coconut Lemonade was perfectly blended, super refreshing, and had that bright, summery flavor. The Birthday Cake layered was a hit too, fluffy, sweet, and tasted exactly like real birthday cake. The boba add-ins made everything even more fun.

The staff was friendly, the shop was clean and cute, and everything tasted fresh. Even the large iced water was crisp.

Overall, such a fun and unique treat spot. We’ll definitely be back to try more flavors!“

“The food is delicious, the atmosphere is inviting. Perfect neighborhood spot.“

“Love this place the spicy garlic parm wings are fantastic and we come here often for prime rib and burgers. Its always really good food. The wait time for service can vary depending on when you go but they are usually pretty on top of things and take really good care of their regulars.“

“The Fairmount is a perfect mix of all you could want! Amazing, delicious food, beautiful atmosphere on the large, enclosed green terrace and professional , friendly staff. I have never had a negative experience and I’m there often!“
