Guarino's Restaurant

Great place to go Had Mary Lou she was great Drink were great , Apps awesome,and food was amazing Service was awesome Great Italian Restaurant Thanks Scott

It's been a while since I've been to Guarino's restaurant! We walked away, so happy that we ordered the Italian wedding soup and lasagna!! Out of all that we ordered, we've decided that those 2 were honestly the best and we will come back just to get those!

I'm giving it an extra star for the super friendly waitstaff and I absolutely loved this old ambiance! It is worth visiting just for that...and the very nice patio. The worst dish was the caprese salad -- the tomatoes were orange and hard and this was in July. The lasagna was very good. Hard to beat my mom's but it was good and worth a try. Our other pasta dishes were pretty average-- sauce was a little too strong tasting.. But all in all a very nice meal.

We REALLY liked this place. Completely unpretentious...a good thing. Even though we were in ASTROS gear, lol, we were greeted well and the service was super friendly. Really enjoyed the Food...my son-in-law especially liked the Lasagna and the Veal Parmigiana I got was great. The pasta was nicely cooked.Honestly, it felt very home-like (my wife and I are both Italian, so we feel we have some knowledge of the cuisine). Overall, we definitely will come back when we come back to Cleveland!

Apparently this is the oldest restaurant in Ohio, established in the early 1900s. The ambience was classic Italian restaurant. We were fortunate to get seats out in the garden, which was amazing. The piano player was a nice touch, offering up some entertainment while we dined. We started with the calamari and the bruschetta, both of which were solid. The bruschetta was kind of so it yourself, with bread and the toppings provided together. My wife had the lasagna (60 year old recipe) and it was very good, solid mix of flavors. I had the Futti di mare, which was great. Mussels, shrimp and calamari. My daughter had the gnocchi and loved it. And my son had the pizza, which he thought was 'mid' thinking that it would be a regular pizza (with sauce and all) but it was tomato, cheese and basil. Only complaint was the variety in sizing of dishes: the gnocchi serving was considerably smaller than my Futti di mare while the lasagna was HUGE. The pizza was smaller than I would have expected.

We stopped in here for a light dinner during the Feast so we could sit and get some drinks. We sat outside on the patio. The caesar salad was awesome and a huge portion. I share the lasagna with my mom and it was really good. The flavors were great. The kids had some calamari and it was nicely fried and not chewy. Others had the fettuccine alfredo which is something I never order and it was heavy but still really good. We tried the limoncello cocktail and my mom liked it so much that she bought a bottle. The owner stopped by our table and he was very friendly. And I have to give a shoutout because one of our party realized the next day that she lost her wedding ring and she thought it was at Guarino's. She called and they were able to find it so thank you so much for that!

Outdoor patio was beautiful and spacious.Wine -- very weak poor for $14 a glass. Go with the bottle.Food -- good deal on lasagna! Caprese could have had much fresher tomatos. Eggplant parm feels like it came from a buffet.

Guarino's restaurant is in Little Italy neighborhood in Cleveland bringing an Italian menu and great ambiance for a nice dinner. Service was ok. Our waitress was kind of rude, brought the wrong glass of wine and did not make any effort to exchange for the right one that my friend had ordered. My salad was suppose to have shrimps added to it, she also forgot and we ended up waiting a little extra time to get it to the table. For appetizers we had shrimp wrapped in prosciutto which was delicious but 16 dollars for 4 shrimp a little too much.It's a nice place but I don't think I'll be coming back anytime soon considering other options around little Italy. The best thing is their parking outside. The guy taking care of that was super friendly and extremely nice to us.

Great service and ambiance, but most importantly, the food was top notch! Starter bread was ok (honestly, I'd skip it and save room) but the garlic bread appetizer was delicious! The Caesar salad was great, and the hard boiled egg was a nice unique addition. The linguine with (white) clam sauce and tiramisu were delicious, excited to enjoy the leftovers!

I tried the lasagna because its recipe is 50 or 60 year old, even though I don't like lasagnas. My plan was, the salad will fill me up; I will take a few bites of the lasagna then take it home to recook it. I ate the whole thing! I simply could not stop until it's all gone. It does not even look fancy, just tastes good!
