Everyone was so friendly and accommodating, and our waitress was the sweetest and she even sent me home with birthday cake! 🎂 The food was amazing (10/10), and I ordered the Conchiglie Salsiccia Italiana, which was so good. Highly recommend Casa Rosa Cucina for great food and even better service!“

“We went to Nonna Ts for the first time this weekend. From the moment you step into this charming restaurant, you’re greeted by the excellent staff and amazing aroma of the best Italian food I’ve had since moving to Ohio. The drinks, food and atmosphere is top notch and being greeted by Nonna T was the perfect addition to our evening. We will definitely be back and make eating at Nonna T’s a regular event.“

“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!“

“First time trying Rego's pizza and have to say it's one of the best pizza places around! Ordered a large Extra Cheese, Double Pepperoni, Onion, Sausage & Green Pepper pizza. Crust was cooked to perfection. Taste was phenomenal. Overall, will highly recommend and will be ordering again!“

“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!!

“Everytime I go there the food always good and the worker Alway cool I love going their Thanks Jennifer 😍🤪🤪“

“Best Italian food in the area period! My famiIy has enjoyed many visits/celebrations there over the years and the food/service is always great! Nothing on the menu is a bad choice and definitely save room for desert. You can tell their food is made with love ❤️“

“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.“

“Pretty nice little Italian restaurant. Got the chicken parmigiana dinner to go with a canoli and it didn't disappoint. Came with a side salad and Italian dressing which was nice. The sauce is good spaghetti was good chicken and cheese was great. Lots of flavor and fresh. Decent portions. Canoli was tasty as well. I would recommend trying this place out it ain't too bad. Nice little outside area to eat as well. Glad I finally stopped by to try it out. I wasn't disappoint and I'll be back. 🙂“

“Haven’t been in for dinner in a while. Athena, our server was fantastic. Food was outstanding.Really exceeded any expectations we may have had. It was so refreshing to have a server who was so genuinely welcoming and friendly! We were immediately made to feel comfortable. And she was so informative and this is coming from someone who’s been in the hospitality business for over 40 years! Thanks again for a wonderful evening!“

“My husband and I had lunch today for the first time at Scotti’s, and it was phenomenal! It will definitely become regular new spot for us. The food was fresh and absolutely delicious. Honestly, I would be satisfied eating just the bread with olive oil and vinegar and enjoying a nice glass of wine! The service was also super friendly! I’m looking forward to spending some time on their beautiful patio when the weather warms up.“

“Good food and service too.“

“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!“

“This was my first experience with this restaurant. First, they are NOT a chain restaurant, they are a scratch made everything, family run business.
The food is worth near any price, yet their menu is very reasonably priced.
Everything we ordered was excellent, fresh, and hot even after a 20 minute drive.
I highly recommend Trios. Cannot wait to return.“

“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! 🍝“

“Love it there. Outside bar is the best“

“If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! This pizza place is an absolute gem. You can taste the difference in every bite -- from the perfect dough crust to the rich, flavorful sauce and the freshest toppings I've ever had. They clearly use only the best ingredients, and it shows. What really sets them apart is the passion of the staff. You can tell they truly love what they do -- every interaction feels warm, genuine, and full of pride for their craft. They even gave the children a behind-the-scenes tour, which was such a fun and unique experience! The children loved being able to make their own pizza. Learning about their sourcing made me appreciate their pizza even more. This isn't just a meal -- it's an experience. If you love pizza, you need to come here. I'm already planning my next visit!“

“The best pizza in Ohio!“

“This location is absolutely beautiful inside. (A little chilly so bring a sweater) our server was wonderful and attentive. I only rated 4 stars on the food because I ordered mariners and somehow got the spicy sauce which was incredibly spice I might add. The server said there was a mix up with the cooks In the kitchen and she was very apologetic. All around a pleasant experience.“
