“📍 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.

“4 of us visited Bruno’s Sunday for dinner with a 6:45 reservation. Greeted immediately upon walking in. Bar area seats abt 10-15 and reservations can be made for bar seating as well! Within a minute of being seated our server had our drink order and returned with them. Appetizers ordered: Hot sausage stuffed peppers These weee absolutely awesome. Served with peppers and onions with a light marinara. Menu says “spicy”; they are medium hot but amazing flavor Artichoke The couple with us ordered these ?breadcrumb” battered and fried portion. Also sauced in hous made marinara. Entrees ordered: chicken parm, spaghetti marinara, scallops and pasta. All were tremendous! Our server Martha was spot on with everything, meal was very nicely paced. I spoke with the gentleman in charge to compliment him on his food and staff. This was our first visit but definitely not our last! This is a definite 10/10.“

“Pizza was ok nothing that made me say oooh delicious sauce was flavorless (took a bite with no pepperoni), pepperoni over powering that couldn't even taste the sausage and greasy. The mozzarella too expensive and cold, I live 2min away if that so it wasn't the drive time.“

“great food and vibe.m.want more!!!“

“We had Ashley as our server and she was great!!! Attentive, but not overly!  The only complaint for my food was the asparagus was impossibly tough on the bottom quarter of it, leading me to think they didn't snap it off. No big deal  because the other 3/4 what's delicious (and a lot!! ) Still one of my favorite places!“

“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.“

“Food and service were excellent. I recommend.“

“The food is always fresh and delicious!“

“I have had the pleasure of ordering from here since they have opened. The specials lately have been phenomenal love the change up! I ordered the Firebird Sandwich and The Pickled Pig Pizza, amazing I hope they keep both. Also always order the focaccia bread, you won’t be disappointed.“

“Guarino’s in Little Italy 🇮🇹 within God’s Country Ohio, aka Cleveland, is the BEST dining establishment and experience in the United States. Of course, everyone has their favorites, but this is without exception the most exceptional location anywhere. And I’ve been around this globe several times. There is not another group of dedicated family (both descendants of the Guarinos and the team members that became family throughout the years) that care as deeply for the people that dine with them and the food that serve us. It is World Class in every way. Ted“

“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!“

“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“

“The best outdoor dining area in area. Atmosphere is number one food is number one people are number one. The experience here is just fantastic.“

“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.“

“Great Food, Great Location, Friends, and Heritage“

“I tried the Italian beef for the first time. Its delicious and huge. The bread looks like its homemade, some of the best I have ever had on a sandwich. I also ordered the onion rings and they were amazing. I want to come back and try the spicy sausage sandwich.“

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

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

“We always have an amazing time when we visit Stancatos! 😊 The atmosphere is welcoming and the staff are incredibly friendly, making sure we never have to wait long for anything. The restaurant has two different areas, which is really nice — you can enjoy a quiet, relaxed dinner with family or sit closer to the bar and have a fun time with friends. 🍝

The food is truly authentic Italian and always tastes fresh and full of flavor. I especially loved the warm fresh bread and the marinara sauce — it was absolutely delicious! 😋 My wife and I were really impressed with the beef Bolognese. It was unlike any Bolognese I’ve tried before — very unique and perfectly prepared.

And the dessert was the perfect ending to the meal! 🍰 Everything about the experience was wonderful, and we will definitely be coming back again. Highly recommend this place to anyone who loves great food and great service! ⭐“

“I've been going to this location for many years now, and I've never had a negative experience. Kind staff, quick service when possible, yet I've never felt rushed. Today, I went with some of my family and we had the privilege of being served by Andi! He was so nice, patient, and came back to our table to see how we were doing the perfect amount of times.“

“The red headed black male chef that served me today was condescending and rude. I was expecting great service since he was the chef and only two people in front of me. He was too busy correcting me on menu item names to make my order correctly. This location needs better service from the chef. No napkins and 2 forks left at the drink station that needs cleaning as well.

Went back 12/11 and had a wonderful experience with a different chef, Chef Geovanni. He was kind and efficient. I’ve updated my review based on that!“

“We had dinner there last night at their new location. They have not lost a step. It is still a great restaurant. All four of us had something different and everyone raved about their choices. My veal parm was excellent and so large that I brought home enough for another meal! The new location is nice and roomy with the same great service. I can’t wait to return. I plan to be there often.“

“Great meatballs!!! Dini was wonderful. Fantasioso server!!!! 1st trip here. We will be back.“

“I can’t believe I’ve never been here. I got the homemade meatballs and gnocchi, it was absolutely delicious. My husband had the shrimp Alfredo which he loved. The bread and salad were yummy too. Great service and you can’t beat the price!“

“Visiting from Maryland, and read good reviews about Danspot. Glad we came. Dinner was fantastic. I had the Shrimp Piccatta, and my wife had Pipette pesto pasta with chicken. Both were outstanding. And our server Jake, was wonderful. Friendly and attentive. If you're in the area of the MGM Northfield, be sure to stop at Danspot. You will be glad you did.“
