Top 5 Italian Restaurant in Ohio

435 Minnich Ave NW, New Philadelphia, OH 44663, United States

“The salad and bread were better than before. As well as the red pasta sauce was not quite as well as it was before. Always enjoyed Uncle Primo's to eat. Our waitress could have had a better attitude also. As far as the hostesses they where great getting us in the restaurant. With the food quality I would probably just go eat the salad and the bread.”

“Just got into town and we found that this place had a half hour from 5:00 to 7:00 so we decided to check it out and to our surprise it was pretty amazing. The happy hour menu has a ton of stuff on it and they're all at incredible prices. You got to make sure that you can see at the bar as that is where the happy hour is. People were lined up before the place even opened. So if you're trying to get in here for happy hour make sure you come a little early. Once you get to the bar, you get a huge loaf of complementary bread along with olive oil, balsamic and spices. There is a good selection of wines and mixed drinks for 6 to $7 and 3 beers for $3 a piece so it shouldn't be hard to find something to drink. The happy hour food menu has a couple pasta offerings along with some seafood offerings which are all around $7. You definitely can't beat this place. Their standard dinner menu has some amazing dishes to offer and the decor of this place is pretty cool. The staff was friendly and was able to help with accommodations along with recommending other places in town to see. Will be going back before our trip ends. Only downside of this whole place is the parking situation... You either valet or you're making a walk to get here.”

“Update: we decided eat at the place on friday and man it was crazy busy. The definitely could use at least 2 more people, one server and someone else to take phone orders. We were there for over 2 hrs from waiting for a table to finishing and that phone did not stop ringing. Great to see they are pumping out that kinda business. The waitress was then only one with like 11 tables. She was doing the best she could though. Everything was good! This is an old school pizza joint serving up classic style pizza. They have a really thin crispy crust, so if thats your style, this is the place for you. They have a really nice balance of cheese and sauce, so that you can actually taste the sauce. All the ingredients are freshly sliced and not canned. They do use the sliced sausage, which i find weird. They don't have a ton of options for toppings which is another bummer, however they should have enough for most people. You guys should add a double crust to showcase your dough, I'd be interested in that! Thanks guys.”

“What a gem of a place. So many wonderful food vendors. I really enjoyed the second floor eating area. Plenty of room for everyone and a great view of the market. I can't wait to return and try a different vendor.”

7600 Chippewa Rd, Brecksville, OH 44141, United States

“A restaurant that lives up to its name in a sense that it has a courtyard with plenty of tables, but it's a fairweather proposition. Inside, the joint has a bit of an odd layout with a long bar and booths lining the wall. The menu is long and covers just about everything, service was fairly quickly and friendly. Prices have gone up in recent times, just like they did everywhere else.”

29765 Pettibone Rd, Solon, OH 44139, United States

“Big parking lot and easy to find! I went here for a baby shower this past weekend and had an amazing time. Jamie and Katie took care of our group and they were some of the nicest servers I have ever met in my life. They were so kind and thoughtful and made the event extra special! I can't wait to return here for a meal sometime. A beautiful interior and super comfy seating.”

“We had a fantastic dining experience at Rood. The reservation process was simple, the food came out quickly, and it was DELICIOUS. The portions were also perfect, we left there feeling full but not too full. The octopus was delicious and so tender, the pasta was cooked perfectly, and the steak meal I got was tender and so flavorful. One of the best meals I've had in Cleveland!”

2940 Belmont Ave, Youngstown, OH 44505, United States

“Pizza is so good! Generous with the toppings and the cheese, and the dough is excellent. We will be stopping in whenever we're making the trek from PA to MI. If you live anywhere in the area or happen to be driving through, make the stop. You will not regret it!”

Enter off Walnut Ave, 1801 E 9th St, Cleveland, OH 44114, United States

“Solid downtown Italian restaurant. The food was great, the service could use a little work. Service was very friendly, but little things like delivering dinners but no silverware on table, long time or forgetting things that were asked for, etc. Restaurant is nice inside and there was some live entertainment when we were there as well. What matters most is the food, and everyone at my table enjoyed their dinners. Would definitely go back again.”

2210 Beechmont Ave, Cincinnati, OH 45230, United States

“Been here 2ce and each time the pizza was SO GOOD!!! Dude working the counter was cool beans and the place was chill. Copped 2 slices and a pop left a $2 tip and the ticket was $15 ..decent for a couple killer slices 🤤”

7042 E Market St, Warren, OH 44484, United States

“Hands down the best Italian restoration I have found in Warren. Period. Friday night pre-concert dinner. Immediately seated but the place filled up quickly. Wait staff friendly and helpful. Too many menus for my taste but all was clear and the variety of choices impressive. We got a calamari appetizer and a couple glasses of merlot. I opted for the braciole and my date the egg plant parmesian. Salads can quickly with bread and butter. Surprises a class operation didn't have dipping oil. Entrees came just as we finished salads. The food was outstanding. Portions were ginormous. Three pieces of braciole and a huge plate of pasta. I couldn't finish it all. Sauce was excellant thick enough to stick to the meat and noodle but not heavy. Our server, Marley, offered a desert menu but we declined. But I may got back with an empty stomach just to check them out. By the way, Marley was great. Ask her nice and she will sing for you.”

116 S Main St, Mt Vernon, OH 43050, United States

“Wonderful dining experience. Faith was attentive server, food was delicious, and atmosphere was romantic. Perfect for our anniversary celebration! The 110 was definitely the “celebratory cocktail that was luxury in every sip”.”

40 Village Square, Cincinnati, OH 45246, United States

“I had an outstanding experience in this restaurant. The food was absolutely tasty, service was very nice and the venue was spot clean. Sitting outside on a nice weather was a great plus. I had their local lager and steak prime rib, amazing food!”

1313 Linda St, Rocky River, OH 44116, United States

“This wine bar & restaurant is now one of my favorites! I love the atmosphere especially in the summer where you can sit on their patio. There’s tons of seating out there and a good amount inside. I do recommend making a reservation so you don’t have to wait. The cheese plate is a perfect appetizer option to split with the table or just have a light dinner. The burger & fries I had was delicious and I 100% recommend the whipped feta dish too - YUM. Lastly, we had a chocolate peanut butter cheesecake and that was *chefs kiss* 🤌🏻 We were seated immediately when we walked in with our reservation - it was a Friday night in summer. Everyone was very nice and helpful and our waitress was awesome. The food arrived quickly and overall I had a wonderful experience!”

1368 Grandview Ave, Columbus, OH 43212, United States

“First of all. They updated menu periodically so don’t expect the same dish if you see this two years later. I love the free bread with the oil. I guess there is tomato in the bread oil so it taste little sour, which perfect match the sourdough bread. The bread is Chucky outside and soft inside, I really love that. Rock Shrimp Ravioli is ok. Don’t know why some of the mushroom are sour, like expired. White Clam Pizza is thin and chunky, but blend compared to other dishes Veal Chop is huge and soft. I love the broccoli and potato at the side! This a very nice restaurant with quiet vibe on that street. $70/person enjoying Italian food I think it’s an okay deal. The lady who served us name Ryan(I think this is the name) She is very nice, when we ask if there any shops around us ( since I’m traveling) and she gave us lots of options.”

2440 Maysville Pike, Zanesville, OH 43701, United States

“Went here on a recommendation; it's a cozy and cute place, decorated for the season and seems to have enough good help. It stayed consistently busy without feeling overwhelmingly loud inside either. The service is okay. I do appreciate thin crust pizza and the spaghetti meatball was cool (which makes the dish seem like it could be a vegetarian option). Then well..the salad comes as lettuce and cheese so if you want no cheese..you get a plate of lettuce? Lol! All in all, I would come back, thanks guys!”

4400 Heatherdowns Blvd, Toledo, OH 43614, United States

“Shawn's is a spacious cross between Irish pub and sports bar, with cozy atmosphere, plenty of tables and booths, and lots of TVs to offer decent viewing angles from most seats. Service was courteous and quick. The house Irish red ale is excellent, and the food was very good, the only disappointment being that the large menu had surprisingly few Irish dishes given the theme - primarily just shepherd's pie and fish and chips, but also a nice variety of sandwiches, pizza, entrees, and specials like kielbasa and pierogies. All in all a great place to eat, drink, socialize, and watch sports, albeit not as authentic of an Irish pub experience as you might expect from the name. We would definitely return when in the area again.”

108 W Main St, Bainbridge, OH 45612, United States

“What a fantastic little home style restaurant! Walleye dinner was top notch. Homemade potato chips, Rueben sandwiches and the pies are all worthwhile. Prices were very very reasonable. The coffee was great and the service was on point. I’ll look forward to stopping in for a classic breakfast soon.”

555 E Cuyahoga Falls Ave, Akron, OH 44310, United States

“If you ever find yourself in Akron, Ohio and you're craving some amazing Italian food, you've got to check out Dontino's. It used to go by Lavita Gardens until the Dontino family took over in 1975, and it's as cozy and authentic as it gets. I just had their spaghetti special, and oh my, you're in for a treat! We're talking homemade meatballs to die for, sauce that tastes like it's straight from Italy, a super fresh garden salad, and bread that's so fresh it's practically singing. And guess what? It's only $7.95! I grabbed my food to go, but the place is so charming I'm planning to dine in next time. I think you should give it a try, too. Trust me, your tastebuds will thank you. Take care and happy eating!”

3908 Harrison Ave, Cincinnati, OH 45211, United States

“The food and atmosphere were excellent. Felt like we were stepping back in time. The service was paced for a long dining experience, which I didn't care for. Just dinner and an appetizer were a couple hours. Ribeye, prime rib, and Parmigiano chicken were good. French Onion soup was delicious. Peanut coleslaw was not great, and steak fries were cold. Overall, very positive.”
