Having known good pie from phili and new york to new jersey, Pony express pizza shouldn't be allowed to be called pizza. The cheese is flavorless and greasy, the sauce is nothing but tomato paste, and the crust was burt (human error? or a dirty oven?) I will never eat here again, for good (for Ohio) pizza eat at Gionino's, thats Italian!

Joining my friends for an after-golf lunch we chose to go to this place for a sandwich and beer. With a multitude of sandwich (grinder) options and a vast array of pizza selections (as well as many other menu items) we were surprised to see that it was 'counter ordering only'...even for your beer. A bit of a strange setup, but the beer was cold and the sandwich was just okay...albeit a bit messy. A bit of a mundane experience overall.Thanks for the feedback. We are counter service from 11-4. Have been for 19 years. We do however offer full service from 4-close (including a bartender) come check is out after 4 if that's more your style. Hope to see you soon.

My wife has difficulty picking something on the menu and if she does, something will need to be altered. The Hawaiian Pizza comes typically with a cinnamon sugar blend on top which she didn't want and viola, made to order, sans the cinnamon. Stromboli is wonderful. Can't go wrong.

My husband and I were staying at a hotel nearby and ordered delivery. It arrived quicker than expected and it was SO MUCH food. We were thinking we overpaid, $40-$45 for what we got, but it lasted us two nights, which ended up being a great deal. I wasn't a fan of the garlic knots (he enjoyed them) but the pizza was delicious.

This rather low-key bar and restaurant has become a Sunday evening retreat for us. They have a menu that includes a nice variety of items that range in price and allows options that fit your mood of the moment. My wife is a great fan of their steak salad, and I often select their mussels over pasta. Another favorite is any of the pasta dishes with their marinara sauce. An added attraction that makes them a nice alternative to Kent's downtown array or restaurants is the availability of parking in their own adjacent lot. A nice selection of draft beers is also available. While this place does not provide high-class dining, it does offer good food at appropriate prices. Service is good, but sometimes a bit frenzied - they get by with minimal help.

First time stopping in to Belleria. A friend and I were headed to the Kent Stage and needed a convenient place to eat pre-show. While the location was really convenient, parking was something I wish I would have checked out in advance. Parking nearest the restaurant are reserved for other businesses, and while street parking is available, be prepared to walk a block or two to get back to Belleria. Also, check out entrance as it's not on the street where you'd think it would be. I'm glad I looked at their website and followed their directions. My friend did not.The menu is large, and I loved watching all of the dishes as they passed us on the way to their tables. I didn't realize just how long those diners had been waiting. Although the amount of dirty tables is a pretty good indication of how the dining room is managed. As in I don't think it is. I didn't see one manager, just three waitresses running back and forth in the L-shaped dining area. Heads up the management, they need help and some guidance. It's never good to wait for close to 15-minutes to get water to the table.While the wait was simply too long for what we ordered, the food was good. My favorite was the small salad I ordered with my main meal, fried veggies (I was in a mood, what can I say?). The creamy Italian dressing was smooth and very tasty. I'd go back for a bigger-sized salad for my main next time.The fried veggies were abundant, but nothing to really write home about. I always loved eating the fried veggies at the Rob Cook Off in Cleveland, but these missed the mark. My friend ordered a small 6 inch pizza that looked great, and she said was very tasty. Since we were going to a concert, we didn't want to take any leftovers with us, hence the small size.Speaking of size, the strombolis I saw passing by were huge, and again, tempting me to give Belleria's another try.And I will. Next time I am back in this area, I will try them again, and hope for a different outcome. And make sure leave extra time before the show.

We were first time diners and tried to order several different menu items so we could try different things. We did not get any appetizers. We had the Treno salad (large with pepperoncini, white cannellini beans, olives, greens, balsamic vinaigrette, and delicious), later we found out it was the side salad for the pasta dishes, only in a smaller version- so wish we would have know that and we would have ordered another salad to try. Had the spaghetti with marinara sauce, (excellent), lasagna (had a spice no one cared for), Branzino with Artichoke and Leek puree (excellent), and the rib eye steak with fingerling potatoes (steak was delicious - larger potatoes were too firm, smaller ones were perfect- potatoes coated with oil and crushed red pepper so were a little spicy.) We had the Ben Curtis red blend and it was very good. We had a wonderful waitress, good service and very attentive. We were there on a week night so it was not too crowded. We will be back to try more menu items.

First off, food was very good. Food was also very reasonable price wise which was why we selected Bricco. We had booked a room for a retirement dinner six weeks in advance. We also payed a $100 fee for reserving the room unless we hit a $1000 bill as a group. We didn't think we would hit that number but were completely ok with it going in. We were promised by management several things. First off we did not want one long table as it makes it harder to talk as a group. We were told this was no problem and we could have several smaller tables. Also we were concerned that as a large group it would take forever to order and get drinks. Management told us that would not be a problem and we would get two servers to help with drinks and orders. Imagine our surprise to walk into our room to find one long table and we had only one server! Our drinks and appetizers(only one half of the table was offered appetizers the other half had to ask) took forever. Many people had trouble getting refills and food all arrived randomly and some much later. All told our dining experience lasted 2 hours and fifteen minutes! This was with us trying to move things along as well. As we were leaving I noticed our server was out in the dining room waiting on other tables which would explain the long delays we experienced. I was a server for many years and understand the in and outs. I believe our server was trying his best he just couldn't keep up with a group as large as ours while trying to maintain other tables in the dining room. My parents are celebrating their 50th anniversary in September and my brother and I were hoping to use Bricco as the place to celebrate with a private room. After my experience on Saturday that will not be the case.
