44 Best Italian Restaurants near Valley View

“Hands down one of the best dining experiences in Cleveland. The service is impeccable and the food is consistently excellent. I will be hosting a family dinner next week and Lockkeepers was my first choice. Carla was extremely helpful in helping me plan what I know will be a perfect evening. If you have not been here, I strongly recommend adding it to your list of must try places.“

“📍 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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Solis World Grille was an easy 11/10 and I will definitely be back again! The portions are generous for the price and the flavor is out of this world. I had the rosemary chicken spaghetti and tasted the love and passion that went into the dish. I shared a slice of strawberry cheesecake for dessert and was so impressed, I ended up ordering an extra slice to go to have with my coffee in the morning. The atmosphere is romantic and cozy. Definitely perfect for a date! Although they have only been open for a short four months, it's very clear they have mastered their craft and want to provide delicious Italian food with flavor and flare in an upscale atmosphere.“

“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.“

“Such a great place! Food was great and so was the staff! We will definitely go back and recommend.“

“Nice, intimate atmosphere. Food was good for the most part. Fried mushrooms were excellent, drinks were great...marinara sauce was a little bland on pasta. Jenna was our server; she was great! We kept her very busy, but she had a great attitude! I would definitely return to try more dishes.“

“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.“

“Food and service were excellent. I recommend.“

We enjoyed 2 sub sandwiches and a pasta dinner. There is a clean area to sit and enjoy your food. I would highly recommend a visit to Tripi's. You'll love it.“

It included clam chowder, linguine with clam sauce, bread, a dozen clams, chicken, corn, potatoes, and sausage with peppers. All of the staff was smiling and very friendly.

“Our first time there, we loved it! Lenore was great, told us everything we needed to know about the restaurant. We got the fish specials, more than enough food! Very cool old Italian style restaurant, takes me back to the Little Joe’s Pub atmosphere (in Bath) where I went growing up. We drove by & took a change, and so glad we did. We’ll be back!!! Did I mention Lenore was great!!!“

“If you haven’t been to Via Roma Event Center & Ristorante in North Royalton yet, you are seriously missing out. The food was phenomenal, the service was amazing, and the entire restaurant is absolutely beautiful. It’s huge, super clean, spacious, and has the perfect mix of old-world Italian charm with modern touches. The downstairs grotto is such a cool experience, and they also host live music, comedy shows, and different events throughout the year. You can tell a lot of love and work went into bringing this place to life. Let’s support this local gem and make sure North Royalton keeps places like this around for years to come! ❤️🍝🎶“

“Only wish we had gone sooner! Everything was truly top-notch, and we can’t wait to go back.

We started with the garlic bread, which wasn’t pictured, and then I had the Chicken Alfredo with a chicken cutlet. Next time, I might skip the chicken and just enjoy the Alfredo because the sauce was absolutely amazing! The portion was generous enough to share, too.

My husband ordered the Linguini Frutti di Mare and was pleasantly surprised by the mussels and clams. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful.

We also tried their limoncello shot and spritzer. I loved the limoncello shot, and my husband really enjoyed the spritzer.

If you’re looking for great Italian food and some of the best pasta in Northeast Ohio, this is definitely worth a visit. The only challenging part is parking, but the food is more than worth it!

We’re already looking forward to our next visit. 🍝❤️

“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!“
