Stino Da Napoli

It was my first time here. We came for a special date night. The restaurant was small, but we came right after the opened and there was no wait. (They don't take reservations) I was hoping the vibe and atmosphere would be a little cozier and cute, but it kind of gave me hotel vibes. Our waiter was extremely attentive and polite. The arancini were pretty good, but I've had better. My gnocchi and my husbands spicy pasta were excellent! Great portion sizes too. The tiramisu was so good!!! The cream in it was so delicious and different from others I've had.I would definitely recommend this place and go back for a special occasion!

Always great food & service! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. We have been coming here for years it is one of our favorites.

So glad Stino is back! The line out front confirmed that I'm not the only one that missed this restaurant!We started with cocktails, they still have their nice cocktail list. I had the basil martini instead of my usual Stino's Manhattan. Dinner time! We were so glad to see our favorite waiter Luke has returned. We had the specials. I had the lamb chops while my wife had the grouper and shrimp. Delicious as always. We had the ricotta cake and limoncello to finish up. It's still cash/check only so come prepared.

Some of the best Italian we've ever had. The restaurant is located in a small strip mall in Rocky River and parking can be challenging, but we've never had a problem. Small place but they make up for it with excellent food and service. They have a full bar and a nice wine list. On our many visits we've had the arancini with their pomodoro sauce (to die for), the eggplant parm, the branzino, the gnocchi, the meatballs and their normal side salad, which is just excellent. Say hi to Nathan. He's a doll. We spend a lot of time in Ohio and we have, and will continue, to go out of our way to go to Stino's. By the way, Bassetts market in Lakeside/Marblehead/Catawba sells the pomodoro sauce by the jar. Don't hesitate. Note: they only take cash and they are open Thursday-Saturday.

This place is truly the real deal! Authentic Italian food 100%! I grew up in NY and NJ, where there is probably an excellent family owned and run Italian restaurant for every 3 people there. Thus, my standards are high, and Stino Da Napoli did not disappoint! From the second we waltzed in, we were treated like royalty, and tended to immediately. The ambiance is upscale but casual. The server was professional, with a good sense of humor, and the food came out within a very reasonable time. The 3 of us had the 'Linguini Alla Sorentina', 'Lasagna Alla Meridionale', and the 'Gnocchi Alla Napoletana', and they were all delectable! I had the first dish mentioned, and it was as good as my all time favorite seafood pasta dish I ever had in all my 63 years, which was on the island of Paros, Greece this past summer! The combination of herbs, spices, garlic base, shrimp, and perfectly cooked pasta was so good, I even asked for extra bread so I could dip the remaining sauce and clean the plate at the end! If I had to critique something, and it is minor, it's that I wish they would bring out at least a small loaf of Italian bread (like all 'old school' Italian restaurants used to do years ago), or a variety of dinner rolls (rye, pumpernickel, rosemary, onion, etc.), instead of plain dinner rolls you can find at the supermarket. Italians and Greeks are crazy about good bread at the dinner table, and many restaurants need to get back to this. No big whoop though... we will return soon! This is one of Cleveland's best Italian restaurants!

We ordered takeout and was disappointed, The veal marsala was overpriced at 3 small pieces and the side of pasta was under sauced. The meatballs are small and overpriced, $3, really for each?The chocolate torte is not a torte but bundt cake with rum sauce and chocolate icing for $10, way over overpriced. We have gone there for years but not visited since they re-opened. We will not be back.

It's almost a Pompous Olive Garden. The dish I had was good but the prices are high considering the portions. During dinner some person, staff presumably, blasted Fabreeze into the room Three Times. My appetite was gone. At the end they spring it on you that they only accept cash. If you don't have it you need use the atm machine- that costs around 4% I believe. We won't be back. Also, if they are so Genuine Italian, why are mediocre dinner rolls served with butter, not herbs/olive oil? I'm not convinced.

EVERYTHING IS ALWAYS OUTSTANDING! The food is excellent and delicious... and the ingredients are incredibly fresh. The service is exceptional in every way and the ambiance is so lovely. The drinks are thoughtfully made and sooo good. Everyone who works here is very kind, warm and welcoming. Just wish they were open at least 5 days a week. Cash only though! There have been many times I've wanted to go for dinner but was stopped when I recalled that credit cards are not accepted. I would prefer that they simply add a fee for the use of a credit card as I understand the added expense to them.

Way Overpriced, Way Overrated their food is ok - mediocre at best, Nickle & Diming for every little option, Small Portions, Cash Only surprise at the end of the meal. Couldn't wait to leave this cheapskate run insult of a restaurant.

A little disappointed in the restaurant. First, it is cash only, lucky I had enough on me! The bread was fresh, but they only had frozen butter, would have been a bit better with some olive oil and pepper! I got a tea but noticed on the menu it says only one refill. For $4 I was a little disappointed as the glass was mostly full of ice, so the 8 oz cup was more like 4 ounces. The food was good, just small portions. You definitely did not leave the place filling stuffed.Will likely not come back as it was not a place that I would recommend.
