“You come here for delicious one-of-a-kind subs not the atmosphere as it's just a take out kind of place. The food is delicious and they have lots of your favorite comfort foods to choose from. Their stuffed mushrooms are popular and so is their Italian sub with pepper relish. Prices are reasonable for this type of food.“

They were very apologetic and offered substitutes. I couldn't ask for better service. The rest of the food was so good. We will definitely go again.“

“Fantastic restaurant! A true gem of Cleveland. The Freddie's Pasta is by my favorite and their martinis are delicious. Echoing other comments, while the menu is a bit pricey you get good sized portions. Another perk is that a lot of their dishes can be made gluten free. Overall, a great, cozy atmosphere and excellent service... this is one of my favorite places to go for a special occasion.“

“Just what downtown Willoughby needed! Such a cute and cozy pizza place/Italian restaurant serving up the classics done simply and done well. We ordered the Salad Bowl and it was a meal in itself. I really appreciated the lettuce- no iceberg here, just crisp mixed greens and lots of Italian cold cuts, cheese, egg and olives. Ordered a small pizza with sausage, onion and banana peppers and it was delicious. They use the crumbly sausage, which again, I totally appreciate. I can tell quality ingredients are used here and it makes such a difference. The staff were great! A really pleasant and welcoming group of young people. Nice job! We will be back soon!“

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! 🍝“

Everything was beautiful and I’d definitely recommend and go back.“

“Wonderful sweet sauce! Huge portions!“

“The best pizza in Ohio!“

“My husband and I popped in for dinner after he arrived home from a family event. We wanted a date night after being away from one another for several days/nights. It was our first time. I sent him the menu as he boarded his plane and he was looking forward to a “new spot”. It did not disappoint. We were attended to from the time we sat down until after we tabbed out. We tried several dishes to get an idea of their style of cooking. The prosciutto melted in our mouths.. the ricotta was extremely creamy and bread from Breadsmith? DELISH. The Italian wedding soup was delicious, the pig n’ fig pizza was excellent (kudos on the dough and crust!), the spicy vodka rigate was on point! Not too spicy.. just that perfect amount of crushed red pepper in the sauce. The wine list was an extensive and our servers (we love to sit at the bar) was top notch! (Forgive me because I’m bad with names but I believe they were Alyssa and Jackie?) it is now on our list of must return spots. They were jamming for a Wednesday night. We initially sat at the rail bar but a couple waved in our direction to let us know they were leaving in a few minutes. If you’re looking for a quiet, romantic spot, it’s not quiet but it doesn’t echo, either. The details are beautiful, the artwork is pleasant to the eye and it was a perfect romantic date night spot for us. One of the better Italian spots in the area. Kudos and thank you for a great evening! Oh. P.S. the 12 month prosciutto with ricotta “primi” is definitely enough to share with 4 people. lol. So good!“

“Had the BEST pizza in years here today. I will be back! AWESOME“

“Had a lovely dinner with friends. Our server was outstanding as far as attentiveness and service! Food was very good overall. We never feel rushed. Only disappointment is how cold it is when seated in the barrels. We like the privacy aspect but will sit at tables from now on. Barrels can feel like a wind tunnel when AC is on.“

“After looking into every restaurant in little Italy we ended up choosing borgata bar and we are so happy we did! Everything was amazing. The owner and staff were wonderful the food was delicious. Everything was just perfect.“

“Guido’s is the best. The end.“

“We ordered a pepperoni pizza and really enjoyed this pizza! It was fresh out of the oven, full of flavor, and had a deliciously fluffy, well-made crust that everyone loved. The pepperoni had a great crisp, and the sauce-to-cheese ratio was spot on. The only minor issue we had was that the cheese didn’t stretch—it came off in one piece with the toppings when my kids took a bite, which made it a little tricky for them to eat. But overall, a tasty and satisfying pizza that we’d happily order again!“

“Great food. A little on the noisy side. Popular spot.“

“We had a great experience at this Olive Garden location! Our server was fantastic, and our food was perfectly cooked! It was a Saturday night, so I was worried that there would be a long wait, but I used the Olive Garden website to get on the waitlist, and it worked out great! Our table was ready when we arrived.“

“We drive from Madison to visit this Geraci's location. The staff is always friendly and the food is amazing. The homemade Geraci's sauce with pasta and a slice of pizza is always my go to. The price is very reasonable, especially compared other Italian restaurants.“

“Had an amazing dinner this Friday night. Lynn was fantastic. We have enough from each dinner for 2 or more meals. Heve not been there for a very long time. Excited to go back soon“

“Great food An experience.“

“My fiancé and I want to thank the entire staff at Vero for an AMAZING experience! The pizza is by far some of the best pizza I have ever had in 40+ years! I will gladly come back from NJ to eat here again! My compliments to the Chef and the staff. We now have a home away from home. As we Italians say GRAZIE TANTE! 🇮🇹🙏“
