I grew up in Cleveland not too far from here. My parents would always take me here, so I have great memories of this place. We came back last weekend and it did not disappoint. Heck, just stop in to get a sniff od how amazing their food is. Service here is always friendly. The front of the house is a bar with some tables. The back of the house is their formal Dining room. My favorite here is their gnocchi. Mmmmmm. But seriously anything here... you will love.Delicioso !!!

Awesome meal this night in Little Italy! We had dinner at Trattoria Roman Gardens (On the Hill) and it didn't disappoint! We had eaten here once before and had it in our list to revisit.Service was perfect, and love that atmosphere. We ate inside this time. I had Pesto Cavatelli, and Chris had the Veal Piccata. Both delicious and really enjoyed the bruschetta loaded with garlic and fresh tomato and basil.Now one of my personal places to eat in CLE!

This was our 2nd visit to Little Italy so we wanted to try another restaurant. It is so hard to choose so we opted for this one and so glad we did. It was popular choice but we were able to be seated right away. Perfect timing having a late lunch on a Saturday afternoon. We started with the calamari, it was lightly breaded to perfection with a fresh taste with a great tasting sauce. We shared the vecchia pizza (sausage and mushroom) as well as a recommended choice by our server the shrimp and gnocchi trattoria. Both were delicious, the gnocchi sauce had quite a kick to it of spice.

Amazing. Accessible through the back door, this is old school Italian at its best. From frutti de mare to veal piccata something for everyone done right.

This restaurant was amazing. Someone had recommended it to us and it was so good. The service was amazing. I could say so many amazing things about the pasta dishes. But nothing compares to how amazing the tiramisu was. We will be back for sure.

We have been here a couple times, both were great. Most recently, I had the eggplant Parmesan and a limoncello martini. The martini was insaneeeeeely good, I would kill for the recipe. My eggplant parm was okay, but it was a bit mushy. I recommend the gnocchi though, we love it and always order a plate.

Finally got to try Tattoria on the Hill. Upon entering the restaurant you immediately get an old school restaurant vibe, kind've dark, nostalgic ambiance. We were greeted and seated right away. We were brought out refreshing waters and there complementary bread with the best marinara sauce ever tasted. Our server Candice came to our table very fast. While ordering some of the people in our party added and deleted items on there orders and they accommodated them with no hesitation. The restaurant has a good amount of seating and I would say they were about half way full, with the patrons enjoying the nice atmosphere. There was also a patio in the back. We ordered a margarita pizza ( not pictured because my party dug in before I could take one) for an appetizer, which came out in no time. It looked like a tradition Italian style pizza and tasted even better. We placed our orders and they came out in a timely manner. Everything looked amazing. I had the eggplant parmigiana with linguine noodles, it was generous portion for the average person, let me tell you it dazzled my taste buds from first to last bite. Everything was delicious as we taste tested each other's food. We will certainly be back to try other items on the menu. Even though the restaurant says Romanian, it certainly had an Italian ethnic cuisine. So please don't hesitate to stop a Trattoria on the Hill, great place to bring your family and friends.

This is the first restaurant I dined at when I moved to Cleveland. The atmosphere was, and still is, relaxed and welcoming. It felt like going to a close friend or family members home for supper. I've loved coming here ever since, and it may be my favorite restaurant in Little Italy for that reason alone. Every table is greeted with complimentary Italian bread, butter and a tomato bruschetta topping (my favorite) are served on the side. Each menu item I've tried has been fantastic but the gnocchi al burro has my heart.

First time trying this restaurant in Little Italy. Luckily they have their own free parking lot because it can be a struggle to find parking in this busy area. There is a parking attendant who came to the car & opened doors for us. Safe to say they very closely monitor who is parked there to ensure they are dining guests. We were promptly seated and service was quick. The ambiance felt like authentic Italian great for date night or large family dinner. Ordered a carafe of their house red wine, which is meant to be four glasses and we felt this was plenty for 3 of us. We ordered the stuffed hot banana peppers, burrata salad, eggplant Parmesan, & pesto cavatelli. Everything was excellent. They provide a complimentary bread basket, but this was pretty basic bread with a side of tomato sauce. I think toasted bread with olive oil would be better. The stuffed hot peppers are not spicy. They are cooked but not soft. They were pretty good with the crunchy filling. Burrata salad is standard. We enjoyed the spaghetti that came with the eggplant parm. The sauce was flavorful. Finally the pesto cavatelli pasta was just right. A good balance of creamy sauce and a few cherry tomatoes. This was good for 3 of us and we had a little leftover to take home. Good food & service at Trattoria!
