The lasagna and marinara is absolutely delicious. Best flavor. The Brasciole, could quite possibly be the best thing I have ever put in my mouth. Highly recommend Guarino’s for anyone traveling to the Cleveland area. You won’t be disappointed. Don’t forget the Chianti.
My wife and I had been wanting to go to Little Italy for some REAL Italian food for while. We ended up at Guarino's. Excellent spot! Great setting. Beautiful patio! We both had the alfredo. I had chicken (meat was great), she had shrimp. True alfredo sauce. Perfect.
The owner and his wife are good folks. My wife originally ordered a Capone (whiskey based drink). She is not a whiskey person. He came over and spoke with us for a few minutes and noticed that she didn't drink it. He asked her about it and asked her if she would take a drink if he made one for her. He made her one that was more her speed and she loved it. He and his wife were very nice, friendly people.
Guarino's is our new date night spot. I highly recommend.
First time here and had a great night. Free valet parking lot was awesome due to traffic congestion. Got the stuffed olives and bruschetta apps and both were excellent. The veal parm was good but could have been better with more seasoning. Waitress brought us 1 round of drinks but never offered refills. Other guests in our party loved their entrees. Next time I will try the lasagna.
Having grown up with Italian immigrant parents and living in Italy for 8 years, I don't normally eat in Italian restaurants. I'm almost always disappointed. However, the linguine with frutti di mare was pretty good. The pasta was overcooked, but I know Americans like it that way. The antipasto plate was also quite good. The ambiance is very nostalgic and vintage. I loved that! We had lunch outside. It was very pretty and cozy.
So glad I chose to visit this 100+ family establishment, excellent food and service from pleasant Marylou who was attentive and available throughout our mealThis restaurant set the mood with its lovely romantic decor and perfect selection of music! And they serve bracciole! I will surely revisit when we come back to town!
We were at the Feast of the Assumption in Little Italy and wanted a sit down meal. We were blown away by Guarino's. Half our party of 4 are Italian so they can be picky about good Italian food. The guys had chicken parm, I had lasagna and my SIL had fettuccine Alfredo. The guys loved the chicken parm. My lasagna was the BEST I've ever had. I normally don't order it at restaurants because it disappoints me. This lasagna was large, (tall and wide) and I have a small appetite but I finished it! It was that good. The Alfredo was STUPID GOOD! My hub has been to Alfredo's in NYC and said this is every bit as good. We HIGHLY recommend Guarino's for authentic Italian food in an atmosphere that makes you feel like you're in the 1940's. Beautiful setting. Great highly professional wait staff. And good cocktails too.
I regret not taking pictures of our food. But we're going back soon.
OMGOSH! What a wonderful way to relax and break bread after a stressful day at the Cleveland clinic. Scott, the owner, was gracious and welcoming. We had the best scrod and veal parmigiana after delicious mussels. Rachel chatted with us and we have made some new friends! We can’t wait to come back for excellent food and amazing hospitality from these wonderful folks. An absolute must when visiting Little Italy!!🍷❤️
Absolutely delicious and amazing food, service and atmosphere. The owner was so kind, so caring and so friendly. Belle our waitress was awesome too. We got Chicken Parm, Lasagna and Pizza and it was all wonderful. Can't wait to go back!!! Well worth the hour trip!

I went to this restaurant as a last minute change of plans. I was originally going to go to the restaurant next door, but there was no parking and this place offered valet parking. I also decided to choose the restaurant because the Valet Driver informed me that this Italian Restaurant is over 100 years old. So I figured it had to be good food if this place has been around for that long. And OMG was I right! 😁 The food there was to die for! 🤤 I'm not even joking when I say I have never in my life tasted food that good! 🥰 And the whole atmosphere of the place was amazing! The place isn't very big but when you first walk in there is live music- people playing Guitar, Cello, Saxophone and other instruments. There's a beautiful bar to your left, and tables scattered all throughout the back. They even have these cute candles at every table! I brought my 3-year-old with me and my date to the restaurant, he was super fussy and acting like a typical three-year-old, but the staff were so helpful bringing him crackers and juice while we waited for our food. Oh let me also mention that they have an incredible menu, I highly recommend the Gnocchi with Grilled Chicken. Trust me when I say you won't be disappointed! Their wine is a 10 out of 10 and they also have a lasagna that mentions on the menu that it's a very old recipe and yes it's also very tasty! 🤤 This was probably one of the coolest nicest best tasting restaurant that I've ever been too, oh and I almost forgot to mention it was also affordable as well! What more could u ask for in a restaurant? This place has you covered! From the time you pull up till the time you leave, you're in good hands!
Loved my dinner. I got gnocchi with marinara and Italian wedding soup. Delicioso!
The food was amazing! The staff was wonderful! We also enjoyed the piano playing as we sat outside.
The food was incredible! It smells heavenly from the moment you walk through the door, and the service is awesome! Marilou knew everything about the menu and made an awesome wine recommendation to complement the meal!
