I enjoyed everything, from the bread and dipping oil, Italian salad and Eggplant Parmesan. I always enjoy eating at this place. The owner always checks in on us to make sure we are enjoying everything. The servers are very attentive and accommodating. The place smells wonderful from the minute you step inside.

We dined on a sunny Monday evening. We were delighted by this beautiful patio oasis as well as the food. This may be the most beautiful patio in NE Ohio. I highly recommend the salmon entree as well as the Sarita house salad. We asked if our well-behaved dog could join us when we made our reservation and our request was honored because it wasn't too busy. It was a perfect night and close to Lakewood Park so that we could follow dinner with a lakefront stroll and sunset views.
8. Piada

My brother-in-law and I went there for carry-out. You wait in line, then select a piada, which is like a burrito, or a bowl. Then you get pasta, meat, sauces and toppings. I was at the front of the line, and hesitated enough that I expected to hear the cook bellow "No pasta for you!", but I gathered myself, and made it through. Three small pasta bowls, and one piada for $30 is a great deal. Everything was quiet yummy. The pasta diabolo had a nice hot finish to it.
7. Molto Bene Italian Eatery

Our family was in the Cleveland area this weekend awaiting the birth of our fourth grandchild (a beautiful little girl who is half-Italian). To celebrate, all of us were looking for a place near our hotel that could accommodate toddlers, kids, adults and seniors, all of whom were exhausted. Thank goodness one of our daughters found this wonderful restaurant online. We were a party of 6 arriving around 5pm. Molto Bene does not accept reservations because they donât have to -- they were already turning people away because the waiting line was so long. Fortunately, we slipped in under the wire and were seated immediately. The service was outstanding. Both Lillia and Kristina (I hope Iâm spelling her name correctly) were beyond compare. They never rushed us despite how busy they were, but they kindly kept our experience moving. The food was equally outstanding. Baked cauliflower and caprese salad for appetizers, chicken piccata, gnocchi, linguine with clams, and made-to-order pasta for the kids -- you couldnât have asked for better food and the portions were generous. This fine place now has a liquor license so itâs no longer BYO. Their wine, beer and cocktail selections are very good, and their prices are competitive. Nestled in a very clean small house, thereâs a warm, cozy atmosphere, a free parking lot (but there is free street parking if the parking lot fills up), and theyâre relatively close to I-90. When we come back to Cleveland to visit our new granddaughter, weâre coming back to Molto Bene.

Celebrated my grandsonâs HS graduation at BdB today. With a group of 12 I ordered three main entrees, a large pizza, fried mozz, a couple sides and mozzarella bread. Everyone had their fill, and plenty of leftovers.The food ranged from very good to fair. Chicken Fettuccine and the Brussel sprouts were very good. The chicken saltiboca was tasty, but chicken was not tender. The mozz bread was fair, at best....not worth the money, even if it had been better. They let us bring our own cake and provided plates and forks. If we would have had them serve the cake another $15 would have been tacked onto the bill. I appreciate that they told us do we could make the choice. Service was great, our server, Fallen did an excellent job taking care of our group. The place needs some updating and done cleaning. We sat in the Pope room and it was gross how sticky the floors were.

We went to this establishment to celebrate Father's Day. Our waiter was great he has some passion for his job kept us smiling and had good recommendations.Vesuvio sauce was awesome. I highly recommend it and the salad and bread was filling. A little high priced for what you get, but definitely a good meal. Six different people liked 5 different meals.

When we lived in Berea, Bucci's was one of our favorite places to eat. We met friends for casual dinners on the bar side and holiday get-togethers in the more formal dining space. Unfortunately, they closed.We have tried JBella in Strongsville. It is okay for a large group. My husband thought the spaghetti sauce was not up to Bucci standards and it is noisy.Bucci's Crowne Plaza is too formal for most of our evening's out.Bucci's in Rocky River fits the bill for casual, yet refined. It is a small restaurant with very personal service. You can go inexpensive with pizza or enjoy pasta meals that provide leftovers for the next day's lunch.Urban Dictionary says Bucci means anything that is fun or cool.Go. Eat.

Wife and I attended afternoon Cleveland Indians game and we stopped on way home. I had heard good things about Angelo's and pleasantly surprised how good it was. Wife has small dinner salad and we shared a small pizza.Ample toppings and the small was just enough for us. Wife mention it would be worth it to go again and totally agree.
