Sweet little spot tucked away on Detroit Avenue in Lakewood. Atmosphere is lovely, service was AMAZING, food was incredible, and the prices were super reasonable. I had a shrimp pasta dish which had plenty of shrimp and the pasta was so fresh. My husband had the calamari pasta which was also delicious. We had the cheese and meat board for an appetizer. That was awesome too! We brought home some espresso gelato and loved it as well. All around wonderful experience! We went back and it was just as lovely!!!

I really enjoyed this restaurant. It has a warm inviting vibe with nice touches that give a clean and modern feel. Despite not having a reservation, we were able to be seated and served pretty quickly. The staff is very friendly and attentive and overall the service is really quick. The food was great! I had linguine al salmone e pistacchi which I highly recommend. It had a really great balanced flavor and the salmon wasn't dry at all.

My fiance and I went here to celebrate his birthday and everything was great. Our waitress was so sweet and helped me get candles for his birthday cake surprise. The food was great - pictured is the mussels, Rigatoni Alla Vodka, lemon cake and gelato.

Great restaurant with great food. A small cozy atmosphere and would recommend planning ahead and making a reservation. The seafood and risotto was delicious. Good selection of Italian wine as well. Didn’t get a chance to try the gelato because we were so full. So we are definitely going back. Lots of good options on the menu.

Celebrated our daughters birthday here tonight! It was outstanding. The appetizers, meal, drinks & dessert. Delicious & presentation beautiful. Wine & cocktail menu were wonderful. The special was Grouper. Some of the best I've had. We will all be back! So authentic & we sat outside on a beautiful evening. Perfect!!

We had a delicious meal here on a Saturday evening. We called beforehand to see if we could walk in and to see if there was a wait. The host told us we could use a table that had reservations for later in the night which worked out perfectly! Great service, great food. Will return.

I wanted to love this place, one of the few places nearby that has cioppino on the menu. Food was good but service was extremely slow and I imagine that's due to the size of the place, very small. Due to a reservation error we had to sit outside and while they had a heater is was definitely not doing the job. Scallops in the cioppino were so incredibly tiny and the calamari in all of the seafood dishes did not seem fresh, perfect large rings and chewy consistency gave a frozen vibe. Taste of all the dishes wasn't bad but for the price of the dishes, don't think I'll be back as nothing was outstanding.

A recent Friday dinner: Good food and service (risotto frutti di mare and penne arrabbiata) but being subjected to a barrage of Hispanic music in an Italian restaurant is incongruous and annoying. Just because the owners love it doesn't mean everyone has to.

Legit Italian food from legit Italian folks. Moltobene cooks everything to order! For the first time since I visited Italy 6 years ago, I finally found a restaurant that cooks risotto perfectly al dente. Clean plate club over here! Good sized portions. Delectable food. You won't be disappointed...unless you fail to make a reservation. Only 10-ish tables in the joint. Moltobene is a small bungalow-converted restaurant with a homey atmosphere and an upscale menu. Gelato is to die for too!

Our first visit and - OH MY GOODNESS - everything was absolutely delicious!!!! We will most certainly be back!

Absolutely love Molto Bene Italian Eatery…. there food is freaking good🤤especially my favorite “Linguine Al Salmone E Pistacchi”. Staff is always polite and great choice of food/wine. Definitely recommend for Italian food lovers but make reservations because they get booked quickly on certain days.

This place feels exclusive from reservation to dining. Here’s why that’s a good thing: The space is so cozy and small, the service is warm and personal. Don’t rely on the guest photos… the lighting is low, the music is not too loud. The tables are simple because they turn them over for the next guests with a quick flourish. We had fresh toasted bread on the table within minutes of seating, pasta dishes were served piping hot, and the sauces were perfect. I was given a thoughtful wine recommendation to compliment my pasta, and everything was delicious. We were sadly too full for dessert this time, but hope to return for another special occasion. Having checked this place out on the verbal recommendation of friends, we will be happy to keep passing that along :)

My dinner club had a wonderful dining experience at Molto Bene! Food was great and service was exceptional. Patio seating was available and enjoyable. Great vegetarian options and also lots of options if you enjoy seafood.

This place is a hole-in-the-wall, no doubt - but so yummy! My boyfriend and I came here for a romantic date night and we both left so full and wanting to come back! Molto Bene has a delicious menu and I couldn't wait to try more of their offerings. We got ourselves a bottle of wine and had a wonderful server. Would definitely recommend this place for date night. It's a VERY small place so would not suggest group dining.

Wonderful Italian dining. The vodka rigatoni was delicious and so was the tiramisu.

Small, but mighty. Cozy venue with surprisingly tasty food. We got the Linguine Vongole and the Picatta di Pollo. The Clams in the Linguine were chewy and possibly overcooked but the Chicken dish didn't stand a chance. The bread provided with the oil was nice and warm and still soft. I'm not sure the cost was worth it for the price though.

Absolutely loved this place. Food and service were excellent. Deserts also a must try! We met some of the staff and they’re such good people! They deserve their success. 🙏🏻

Perfectly servicable food. Pretty on the plate, fairly quick to table. Very loud due to the size of the restaurant. Very accomodating and friendly staff. Will go again eventually. Prices a little steep. A good date/dinner spot overall! Also gave us a very cute dessert for our anniversary.

Absolutely love this place. Get a reservation and go cuz everything is amazing. Started with an espresso with was great. The fresh baked bread they bring out is great and the appetizers and main courses are to die for. Everything is top notch. It's smaller and more intimate so make sure you get a reservation

The food was good, not the best Italian food in Cleveland, but it was solid and we were glad we tried it. 3 stars because our server seemed perturbed to be serving us an hour before kitchen closure at 8 pm. The waitress was checking her watch while giving us our food and check. Seemed kind of cold and like she was trying to hurry us out. We still left before 8 pm. Side note, if you don’t want patrons coming in after 7 pm, don’t allow reservations on Google at and after 7 pm.

Food: Big portions, good quality, good taste - could be fresher but really not bad overall. Ambiance: Very small location, cheesy / naive decor ends up ruining any attempt at a romantic date night. Left a lot to be desired. Service: Good service, we were well taken care of - didn't stand out, but it was fine. Overall it was a nice dinner, but definitely not for special occasions or dates - I'd reserve this location for a casual week-day dinner when you are not trying to impress anyone.
