We have never been here before. What a shame. It is awesome! Everyone was so nice and went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our experience. The restaurant is beautiful and comfortable. Our waiter Jared was timely and efficient. Chelsea was in charge of making drinks and created a Mint Old Fashion, that is absolutely delicious! We had the crispy artichokes for an appetizer, YUM! I had the eggplant parmesan that came with a side of pasta. The eggplant was lately breaded and in a very tasty marinara.. It was scrumptious! My husband had the linguine and clams, delish! They have an endless array

The service was great - super friendly and attentive but the food was mediocre. It was just garlic and sugar. The meatball legit tasted like sugar (huh??). The spaghetti sauce was like cheap pizza sauce. The chicken Jojo was just nothing - no flavor except some garlic. Honestly not at ALL worth the price.

We've been a couple times and what a fantastic place. Typical bar/ restaurant ambiance but always busy and the food is soo delicious. The owner even brought out a st. Patrick's themed pizza for us to try, cornbeef and thousand island dressing. Amazing. Prices are medium but perfectly reasonable . Something for all pallettes.

Everything was great here. Service, food, cleanliness. We had the meatball appetizers, ricotta crab cakes, spicy Italian pizza, and garlic rosemary for and it was all cooked perfectly and presented nicely. The menu was diverse, it was hard to make a decision what to get. The only thing that could have made it better was a lunch menu, or a stuffed pasta dish!

I absolutely LOVE Jo Jo Carloni's. I don't care for my eggplant super crispy, so this was perfect for me. Those of you who want it crispier should use your 'voice' and order what you prefer.

The pizza's sauce was just right for ME, but my husband thought a bit too sweet. He dusted it with a few red pepper flakes and good to go.

Great half-price wine nights, so take a couple of girlfriend's.

The rolls were amazing, possibly better than Macaroni Grill. The pizza was excellent and they used fresh mushrooms instead of canned ones.

First time having their pizza. It was just OK for me. We got a large pepperoni with original crust and a pepperoni and ham stromboli. I liked the stromboli better than the pizza. The toppings and the cheese tasted great but nothing special about the crust. It was thinner than most other places original crust too. The dinning room looked clean and new and looks like they have outdoor seating as well. I may try it again for the deep dish but the original was not worth the drive for me to come back anytime soon.

What a great little spot in Berea! So glad we stopped in for dinner! Our waitress, Alyssa, was lovely. She was friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable. Each staff member we encountered was helpful and friendly as well. We had the calamari appetizer, which was very tasty, I loved the addition of the peppers in the dish. We had the Caesar salad and caprese, both were excellent. The Caesar was perfectly dressed and so flavorful. We also had the wedding soup, so hearty and delicious. For entrees, we had the veal Marsala and the gnocchi Gorgonzola....both were superb. Great portions and soooo mouthwatering

Went here strictly for the pizza, was not a fan, super sweet sauce, The dough towards the center was undercooked be careful picking up the slices the toppings will slide right off! there's so much sauce, maybe a knife and fork pie. Our server that (never told us her name) was un-attentive, and more Interested in gathering with the other servers that were clearly ignoring their customers also. Loved the overpriced mozzarella appetizer, tried to get her attention to order more and another round of drinks but no, not even eye contact was given for over 10 minutes. Finally got up to get her attention

Ordered Linguini and clams ( take out). Received Linguini and about 20 small tasteless mussels. They should have told me they didn't have clams.
Will not be returning here again.

Quite over priced.

The food is decent for being the only worthy Italian restaurant in berea (however there's not much for comparison)

I typically only do a review when I have something nice to say. This place was a complete fail. I have no idea what pizza every other person ate from here but ours was awful. We did not even finish our first slice. We trashed it and placed an order somewhere else. $60 total wasted, we had chicken parmigiana sandwich as well. Not bad but not great, it will at least get me by until a real pizza is delivered. I hate wasting money and food.

Splendid Italian Eatery!

I stopped in for a bite with a buddy and the inside had a great Tuscan vibe to it. Granted, I have admittedly never been to Tuscany, but I've seen some photos, ok?

They have a lovely two-story stone wine case with glass doors and plenty of bottles to choose from. Even though I saw these, I opted for their Rye Manhattan and it was fantastic. But before we get to the drinks, let's talk about the food...

I ordered the Chicken Jo Jo Carloni's entree with a bowl of Italian Wedding Soup to start. The wedding soup was very tasty with plenty of meatballs, vegetables

Outstanding! Can't believe they've been open over 4 years and I just found this gem.

Came in during the COVID-19 pandemic for carry out. The hostess came to my car to ask my name, then returned with the goods that I had ordered online. Very quick, very polite, very grateful.

Left with a roast beef pizza with a garlic sauce on a gluten free cauliflower crust. OMG, had no idea a cauliflower crust could taste soooooo good! If I didn't know better, I would have thought it was a traditional thin crust, but apparently this one is good for me so I can eat lots of it!

One of my favorite local Italian restaurants. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Tonight I had the linguini w clams and it was perfect, just enough garlic. Appetizers are perfect for sharing and the desserts are fantastic, always an array of humongous cupcakes made fresh in house. The portions are huge and delicious.

My only negative is if you want a second tea bag you have to pay for it...I'm not sure how a restaurant can charge you for a second tea bag...it's absurd!

Thursday's special is $5 off a large specialty pizza, so we decided to give it a try. Ordered a baked potato pizza that we had delivered for an extra $2 fee plus tip. Pizza was tasty. Mashed potatoes and crust were cooked well. A few complaints though:

1. It was advertised that it was served with an herb sour cream. It was not. It was plain.

2. It mentions red onions and scallions and it is a lot of both! Good for onion lovers, but a bit much for me personally.

My husband ordered the Calamari appetizer, which he said was really good. The breading was amazing.

I ordered (as always) the eggplant parm. It came with a salad and side of spaghetti. It was good, but I prefer my eggplant to be crispy and this wasn't.

My husband had the Pizza Arabiata and he said it was delicious.

We split the Tiramisu - it was FAR from the best. We didn't even eat it - sent it back
