The food was pretty good & reasonably priced. We especially loved the atmosphere! If you have objections to eating at the bar, be sure to make reservations. It’s a small/quaint place so it fills up quickly!
10/10 recommend!
Homemade bread & oil with Parmesan and pepper flakes- amazing!
Frog legs - large portions and perfectly paired with squeezed lemon
Fried mozzarella- sauce is absolute bliss point of salt/sweet/tang ratio.
Chicken fettuccine Alfredo- smooth and creamy sauce, not overly salted, an
A welcoming and delicious Italian restaurant. We were seated quickly, sat on the patio out back, and had service on the spot. We split the ‘Maxi’s Pizza’, and Calamari Pasta, and both were exceptional (and came out fast). The pasta was cooked perfectly and salted just right...I don’t even like past
Party of six. Everyone loved their meal. Apps, main course, desserts all exceptional. No rush dining experience. We will be back!
I experienced one of my favorite dining experiences all summer at Maxi’s. Friendly bar, superb selections of wine and cocktails and coffees. I had the Bolognese Pappardelle , and it compared to food I ate in Italy. Doesn’t look like a lot from the street, but the bar and gorgeous outside patio in th
Maxi's Bistro in Little Italy, Cleveland, is a true gastronomical haven for Italian cuisine aficionados. Every dish seems to carry the soul and richness of traditional Italian cooking, served with a flair that only Maxi's can offer.
Starting with the appetizers, the Calamari at Maxi's is a showstop
Huge slice of past and present awaits you. Family aspects evident in the staffing. FRESH foods, great presentation, and ample seating (inside, front patio, back patio). Main and back bar areas.
Enjoyed hearing their voice intonation and native language. Their Calamari is light and refreshi
Lil Italy in Cleveland. Very good Italian food. The service was excellent 👌. We went with friends. Had a great time.
We went to this restaurant for an early dinner with some friends. I would give this place a five star review, but they had NOTHING for kids/toddlers. No high chairs, no kids menu, no plastic/ smaller cups for kids to use. Since we were there with our 2 year old (and our friends had a 1-1/2 year old)
This was a great experience from start to finish! Our server, Fatian, has worked here for 14 years and he took great care of us. We had pizza as an appetizer and it was incredible, perfect crust, perfect cheese, perfect sauce, every bite was fabulous! We split linguine and meatballs, as you can t
A wonderful little spot, one of the best in Little Italy by far! Food was delicious, the spinach ravioli was perfect and the sauce on them cannot be found anywhere else! Service was a little lax, he consistently looked over and then walked away or stared weirdly but never came to ask if we needed dr
Food is absolutely amazing, plates as well as the sauces used were prepared the right way, fresh, and warm.. service was great and on point. Drink and wine list was even and clean with nice variety. Environment was easy going and comfortable, casual dress code and in the heart of little Italy. Will
Food is delicious, pizzas are huge and enough for three people so the value is good. One of the best pizzas I've had too. Pictures are spinach ravioli, and the Alex pizza (stuffed hot peppers and sausage)
Food was just ok in my opinion. Also, this place is very small so where we sat we were wedged between two tables. Our chairs were about an inch away from touching the chairs at the table beside us. Our server was kind and attentive even though they were busy.
First timer here, the food I'd amazing!
Service was slow, considering we were the only ones in the restaurant.
Drinks were just okay. Rum & coke was not great and the white sangria was terrible.
Food was amazing! I had the cavetteli and meatballs, it was so good. She had the spinach ravioli with
We always have to go to Maxi’s when we got to Little Italy. Today was even more special. We got to meet Christine who was our bartender and Terek who also works there. They were amazing and gave us the best customer service ever! And Terek is from our hometown of Canton and we had several people in
This is a great little Italian restaurant in Little Italy. I was shocked at the quality of the food that came out of this small restaurant. The Veal Scaloppini Marsala was fantastic. The muscles were awesome and we had a great bottle of wine. Our waiter had a great personality and we can’t wait to g
Excellent service. Bartender Terrick was great. Makes a mean Manhattan. Nice atmosphere - very pleasant patio. Unfortunately, food was disappointing. Didn't live up to expectations based on reviews. Saltimbocca had raw onions and very little flavor. I'd give the pasta a B. Won't be going back any ti
When I walked into the front door. I was greeted with smiles. I thought they were closed because a sign was left out. I sat at the bar and was immediately served. I had a white wine and calamari for my appetizer. I was just heavenly. My main dish was the chicken cacciatore it wasn’t my favorite but
