Stopped here for dinner with friends. Very popular place...call for reservations or get there early. I had the pasta dish with shrimp stuffed with crab meat...it was berry good. My wife raved about her choice of homemade cavatelli with meat sauce. Our friends had a chicken dish and the ravioli...both were happy. Good size portions. Parking may require you to use the strip lot across the street. We were all satisfied with our meals and would return.
6. Capps Pizza

I honestly don't know why I bother with this place. Called them up the other night and tried to place and order. Was put on hold TWICE, then disconnected. Call back and got put on hold again so I hung up. This ended up being a 10-15 minute waste of time, and it's not the first time I've been put on endless hold with this place either so I'm done. Will never deal with this place again. It also seems like they raise their prices frequently too. The pizza is OK, not great....only tried to order here because I had a BOGO coupon, but that's not even worth it. Seriously, don't waste your time. You're better off with one of the chains rather than this place that obviously doesn't care about customer service.

Great crust similar to how it's made in Naples, Italy-the city that invented pizza! We had the pizza with mozzarella and ricotta cheese and crumbled meatballs. My 86 year old Italian friends from Brooklyn, NY say you should be able to fold your pizza when you eat it. Perfect fold here!

My wife and I order from Jets on a continuous basis. We ordered it the first the on the first night we moved into our home (6/13) and have been ordering it ever since. A large deep dish with pepperoni and mushrooms with turbo crust is all you will ever need... be ready to die and go to heaven. Honest to God people, I never thought that a chain pizza joint could be so good, but trust me its amazing! Food is great priced, they hold plenty of specials which are advertised well, usually do discounts for if the big sports teams are playing, and notify you via text message for extra special discounts. Please, do your self a favor and go grab one today!

This was recommended by out B&B innkeeper. It was fabulous. It was so good that we went back the second night. I have traveled the world. I have been to Rome, Naples, Venice, Pisa, Florence and many other places around the world. I have been to all the continents and had many great meals. For the price and quality, this was one of the best. I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion. I found the food to be perfectly cooked and excellent flavor. Our waiter both nights was Darrel. We requested him the second night he was so good. We had their special appetizer that was cheese curds rolled into a ball with bread that was outstanding. We got it again the second night. The first night I got the Salmon Special that was the best salmon I have ever had. Better than what I had in Seattle. It was cooked perfect. My wife had the Halibut special with mashed potatoes that was superb. With a bottle of Zin it was perfect. The next night we had the same appetizer. My wife had the sausage with peppers penne pasta that she loved. The portion was great and it had a wonderful kick to it. I had the sweet day special that was a large filet minion and a lobster tail. The chef has to be on the witness protection plan. The filet was cooked a perfect medium rare and to lobster was perfect. Most chef's over cook it and the lobster is chewy. Not this one. A wonderful Cab went with it. It was two outstanding meals. We will go back here in a heart beat. Thanks Darrel for two perfect evenings......

I want to compliment Deanna, our waitress, for making our evening out a great time. What great service. Good was served hot and promptly but she still allowed time for us to eat our salads before our entrees came. We ordered Eggplant Parmesan and it was very good. Portion size was large as was the side of pasta. Coffee finished the meal and was smooth and not bitter. Will definitely be going back.

My dad and I go to Cleveland every few months and wusually have dinner with his college friend who lives in Mentor while we're there. We're all Italian so we like to find a different Italian restaurant to try and Mario Fazio's was convenient for everyone. It did not disappoint one bit. Even though it was our first time, Lisa (the owner's daughter I believe) made us feel like regulars. We an appetizer, salads, and dinners and it was a ton of food! The Stuffed Hot Peppers weren't exactly stuffed peppers. They were two full links of delicious and perfectly cooked Italian sausage covered in hot peppers, sauce, and cheese. The two older guys had the Eggplant Terrine which was very good and not mushy at all. I had the Doreen's Pasta, which was easily the best dish I've ever had in an Italian restuarant. Our server, Jamie, was very friendly and attentive but also gave us our space.If you ever find yourself around Cleveland and want good Italian, go to Mario Fazio's.
