I know ill probably get some grief about giving a gem in Little Italy three stars, but we gotta be honest here. Its just okay. The service was mediocre at best, our server didn't seem too interested in our experience. The food was okay, the tomato basil was watery and the noodles were okay. Whole experience 2.5/5 - if you are in Little Italy, it's worth checking out - the restaurant is super cool and has a lot of great history, just be patient haha.

Delicious food, huge portions, and good service! My linguine came with 2 huge yummy meatballs. We all left with leftovers for another meal for the next day. The tiramisu dessert was perfection! We all left very full, satisfied and happy! Parking can be a problem in Little Italy but no problem here. There is a parking lot right outside the back door.

We were in Cleveland for a few days and came across this gem. Everyone was so friendly and kind. The restaurant was clean, cute, and cozy. The food was unbelievable. The antipasto appetizer was so good. Veal parm was the best my brother has ever had, and the linguine and clams was fantastic. I would definitely recommend this place and would love to return there myself.

I enjoyed this restaurant in Little Italy. The service was very nice and I enjoyed the atmosphere. Eggplant Parmesan- they say this is their most popular dish and that is for a reason. It was the tastiest thing I tried. 4/5 Zucchini Fries- pretty standard. If you like zuccchini fries then you will like these for sure.

The server was a little hard to find in the beginning which was frustrating for such a big group, but it was probably our fault for having some of the guests of honor arrive a bit on the late side. The desserts were good, not great, but the entrées and appetizers were very good. We were also the last people to leave the restaurant and the staff never made us feel uncomfortable even though all people want to go home ASAP, so thank you for your patience with us.

Absolutely wonderful food and very easy to get to. Visiting from out of town and had convenient parking. By the time we got to the restaurant the food was done and HOT! In total from time of calling our order in to taking it back to our car it was maybe 20 minutes. Portions were large. Ordered eggplant Parmesan as part of our order and it was humongous and perfectly cooked. Delicious comfort food with very polite servers and reasonable prices.

We didn't know that there was a festival going on, so lots of people were in Little Italy. Luckily, we were able to get inside Trattoria for lunch. They only offered a limited menu with automatically added 20% tip INCLUDING TAX. We shared a Caesar salad which had a good dressing but little too much dressing, Margherita Pizza which was simple but good, and Shrimp and Gnocchi which was very flavorful. So overall the food was good but service was just okay. Then my boyfriend ordered Strawberry Lemonade. Menu didn't show the price and a little glass cost $11.50 which seemed too high. Also, we didn't get bread but previous people butter paper has left on the table.

This summer, I had the pleasure of dining at Trattoria. It was a wonderful experience. The weather was beautiful so we were able to sit on the patio. Being in the back, it was quiet and secluded. I had the chicken parm and my wife had the eggplant parm. Both were amazing and we would defiantly get them again. Presentation was like a home kitchen, which I appreciate. The meals spoke for themselves.

We had a fabulous meal at Trattoria. It's a vibrant spot in Little Italy, and we called ahead to reserve a table for dinner. Although it was busy, we were seated without delay and served warm bread and bruschetta dip. After perusing the menu, we ordered drinks followed by salads and shared entrees. Our food came out promptly and generously portioned. I savored the red sauce on the chicken parm, and the gnocchi was also a highlight. The only downside was being sold out of a few items including no refill on the bread/dip, but it was communicated well and gives us a reason to come back for more! We enjoyed the good service and I look forward to another visit

We heard about this place from locals. I had the cheese tortellini. It was so good I couldn't stop for a picture! I should've saved some of the complimentary bread to have with the pasta. My son had the fettuccine Alfredo and really enjoyed it. Atmosphere and very cozy. I will definitely go back the next time I'm in town.

We went without a reservation and wanted to eat on patio bc it was a beautiful night. The hostess told us to come back in a half hour and they will try to seat us. We got a table as soon as we came back. They were so nice and let us know that they were understaffed but we weren’t in a hurry so it was fine. Turns out, our food was made quick, service was great and food was amazing! I recommend this restaurant.

Valet service gentleman was super helpful and kind! Amazing patio. Food was absolutely phenomenal! Service was terrific too! Their patio is dog friendly too. 🤩🔥🎉 Blueberry 🫐 Sangria, side salad 🥗 with homemade Italian dressing, and eggplant 🍆 parmigiana! All tucked away in Little Italy 🇮🇹 in CLE! We’re definitely 💯 going back whenever we visit again.

This is quite simply, the best and finest Italian cuisine/dining experience I've ever had! From the atmosphere to the service to the freshest of ingredients, Trattoria Roman Garden is THE destination for Italian cuisine! Book your reservations ahead of time, as this place is popular! It's not cheap but it's not expensive either, surprisingly on par with your McItalian restaurants (Carrabba's, Bravo, Olive Garden). This is infuriating, as the McItalian joints offer nothing in comparison to Trattoria. Complimentary is some of the best Italian bread and bruschetta tomato mix to add (with a small bowl of parmesean). We had six in our party, so we tried the Stuffed Hot Banana Peppers (amazing!), Steamed Mussels (superb!) in garlic sauce, Wedding Soup (the best!) and Crab Cakes (not bad) - followed by these entrees: Lobster Ravioli in vodka cream sauce, Linguine and Clams, Chicken Parmigiano, Veal Marsala, & Cheese Tortellini... all of which, were literally the best representations of each I've ever had. It's hard to adequately describe how much flavor each dish holds... fresh ingredients, explosions of taste, and rich sauces (if you don't use the bread to soak up every last bit of Lobster Ravioli sauce, you're doing a disservice to your ancestors!). This is the premiere destination in Little Italy and well worth the drive. With entrees, an appetizer, and drinks (check out The Godfather!), we spent about $40 per person, which is more than reasonable for the cuisine and experience. Also, if you're eating at Trattoria, you can use their parking lot LOL

My mom, brother, and I visited this restaurant at 4pm on a Saturday (12-2-23). We did valet (no charge but tips encouraged), got a table right away, and were immediately tended to by our waitress. We ordered the calamari and crab cakes for an app, and both were amazing. We also ordered the sugar cookie martini which was fabulous. My brother got the meat lovers pizza and my mom and I split the fettuccini alfredo with grilled chicken. We all loved everything we ordered, we were served very quickly and were in and out in under an hour. Absolutely no complaints whatsoever, we had a wonderful time and kept saying over and over how quickly we were served and how the quality of the food was wonderful. We will be back!

If you are driving the parking could be very difficult. We didn't have reservations but got seated right away. The waitress was helpful and had wonderful suggestions. We had a green salad, the eggplant parmesan and the seafood risotto. The food was very flavorful. I love how eating outside was hidden from the people on the streets. Great job. We definitely will be back

This was some of the best Italian cuisine I have ever had in my life. And the experience at the restaurant was top tier as well. The valet boys were so kind and gladly helped us park the vehicle and safely returned it. The food on the menu had some of the freshest ingredients I have ever had the complimentary bread was fantastic. I ordered the steamed mussels with garlic sauce and man oh man was I blown away. Unmatched. The crab cakes were good but could be a little better overall spice wise. I thoroughly enjoyed the Lobster Ravioli and would definitely order it again. I would recommend this to anyone looking for great Italian cuisine out in little Italy. We spent about 40 dollars a person which is fairly reasonable price and it was worth the drive.

Great setting and service. Had a good meal. Pizza was our favorite. Entrees of chicken parm, pasta with meat sauce and meatball, and eggplant parmigiana were good but not great. Could have used a bit more flavor but they are definitely doing a lot right as it’s a staple of the Little Italy scene.

We sat outside on the patio which was nice. Service was friendly but not overly solicitous so we could talk without interruption. We had 2 appetizers that we enjoyed. There were 4 of us and a variety of entrees. The only dish that didn't get rave reviews was my husband's sausage and peppers, it was very small portion and nothing special. Would not order again. We will go back but try other dishes. It was very busy when we were there so maybe that's why his dinner wasn't very tasty.

Food was amazing. Friendly service and delicious drinks. Super busy but food was still served quickly. You will not be disappointed. Definitely recommend.

Service was excellent. Very friendly and attentive. I got a seafood pasta and my wife had the ribeye steak. Both were very delicious. We got both a dessert. I got an Oreo cake and she got the cheesecake. Excellent!
