Pizza
Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.
Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

I think this place was decent. Lets start with the bread that came with the meal. It was soft and quite pocketed. It was served with butter, however the table had a bottle of olive oil. It was good but not warm, i think if this type of bread is to be served it should be toasty or warm. But hey it was still good and free! Appetizer- Ordered the calamari. This one was with banana peppers and service with Mexican Cholula garlic sauce and some type of cilantro sour cream. The Squid was prepared vary well, Crispy and soft with the right amount of breading. We ordered the smaller order and it was a good portion for 2 people. Next here is where a couple of stars are lost. We split a medium specialty pizza. Its the one with prosciutto, forget what is called, It was a decent pie but not worth $17 dollars, no way, the size nor the amount of toppings justify the price they are asking. When we got the bill we were like how much was that? The service was very prompt, efficient, and friendly I would go back but not for the pie!

Amazing chicken piccatta! I went here while traveling for work and I was extremely happy.

Ate here a couple of weeks ago for my aunt's birthday. Good food, a little pricy. My aunt loves Carrie Cerino's so we took her here to keep it in the family, without the older crowd. The place was packed and they were very accommodating for my reservation. The table was ready to go when we got there, but good thing we booked a reservation... We would not have gotten in any other way. Overall a great experience!

Finally. An Italian restaurant that got it right! In any random neighborhoods around town, you'll find multiple Americanized eye-'talian joints doing Italian all the same. Boring red sauced dishes, meatball subs and mediocre pizza. Each of these mom & pop parmigiana shops seem interchangeable. Very few leave any sort of lasting impact. Very few are daring enough to put their own take on a food that we've come to take for granted. America as a whole seems to be over-saturated with this type of cuisine. So, of course, it goes without saying that a new take on traditional Italian favorites would be a welcome thing, right? Introducing Eddie's Pizzeria Cerino.... First off, the concept: As an option, you have the ability to order a half or full order of just about every appetizer, soup, salad or pasta. This both maximizes value and allows you to sample a bigger portion of the menu. Next, I must mention the house-baked bread. It's a salty, peppery, oily focaccia that would put the finest artisanal bakeries to shame. Save some to mop up leftover mussel broth. To eat, we shared a half order of the Eggplant & Roasted Garlic Ravioli w/ red pepper pasta filled with eggplant, served in a sweet vermouth sauce with wild mushrooms, spinach and parmesan. Woah. Good shit! Tender pasta, well balanced in flavor and the sauce. Oh, the sauce! A perfect accompaniment to the dish. Next, we each ordered our own pie. A tough decision considering there are close to a dozen specialty varieties to chose from. In the end, I ordered the "Salumi" w/ red sauce, thin sliced salumi, prosciutto ham, sun-dried tomatoes, mozzarella and asiago cheese. My accomplice, the "Mediterranean" w/ white sauce, mozzarella, goat cheese, artichokes, black olives, spinach, roasted red peppers. Wowzers! Thin, tasty, wood oven charred crust, high end toppings and a very attractive looking pizza to say the least. In a seemingly everlasting journey to find the best pizza around, we were both in agreement that this was among the best pizza in town. Next to Crostatas in Highland Heights, this pie ranks right up there. Eddie, you've done well. Can't wait to come back and sample the rest of the menu!

I visited with a large group last night (1/7/2013). Our server, Melissa, was very pleasant, helpful, and efficient considering the size of our party. I ordered a full plate of the Gnocchi special ($12.95) and had plenty leftover to box up and save for today's lunch. I also had a glass of excellent Chianti ($7.00), and a piece of Chocolate Cassata cake for $1.00 (a special that runs, I believe, through January). Oh, the bread was HEAVENLY! Great atmosphere. Definitely recommend a visit.

An absolute gem of a place in Seven Hills! Set back from Broadview Rd the corner unit shines clean and new. Once inside you're greeted with an ambient ands warm dining room, exposed ceiling rafters and vents, and floor to ceiling wine rack. Off to your left is the bar with more wine and spirits. The exposed brick wall, warm woods, and earthy colors are very comforting to be surrounded by during your meal. The staff is great, out front, and genuinely friendly. They interacted well with the table and engaged my 22 month old son like he was one of their family! Salads are large and can serve a whole table. They were crisp, fresh, and dressed just right. My father-in-law had a baked ziti and meatball which was beautiful! Bubbly, golden-browned cheese adorned the brim of a warm casserole dish. The meal was hearty, warming, and something I am coming in to order next time I have a bad day! My wife ordered shrimp and angel hair with asparagus tips and vodka blush. It was a very well balanced pasta dish. The shrimp were ample, fresh, and cooked to perfection. The fear with an "Italian" dish like this is that the line cook will lose his or her mind with garlic and salt, smothering the flavor profile. Not so at Eddie's. The dish was balanced very very well. Filling, satisfying, easily a repeat performer. But, the pizza... OH THE PIZZA! We make our own pizza at home and the dough from scratch. So I can be a little picky when it comes to the crust on my pizza. Eddie's has a starter dough, aged about 3 days, that is added the the fresh dough that day for the pizza to be made. It's just short of a sourdough method. The dough bakes with a beautiful crisp around the edges and a warm billowy middle. I probably could eat just the crust. However, I opted for the Salumi that included salumi (salami), prosciutto ham, sun-dried tomatoes, mozzarella, and asiago cheeses. It was every bit crispy and delicious as it appeared! One of the better pies that I have had. We absolutely cannot wait to go back and were immediately on the phone recommending this place to family. You won't be disappointed!

There are so many good things to say about Eddie's Pizzeria Cerino that it feels wrong to say it wasn't *great.* The food is very good, the service was attentive and helpful, the beer and wine selection was well-chosen and the wait, even on a Friday night, was not unreasonable. But. The lighting is just bright enough that the restaurant doesn't feel intimate - keep that in mind if you have date night (or deep conversation) on the agenda. And the food, while delicious (we had the Blue Smoke BBQ and Primo Pesto pizzas, and the Tuscan salad - all of which I would order again) was...exactly what I expected. Really, really good - but not one bite surprised me, and that for me makes the difference between good and great. I would certainly go back, but it was my trip to grandma Carrie Cerino's restaurant last year (complete with Sinatra soundtrack and gnocchi that were swoon-worthy) that made me say "You have to try this!"
(4)Denise Y.
I have only gotten carryout here, so I don't know what the dining in experience is like. BUT for carryout, Cerino's has been great every time. If you're looking for pizza that's more than your standard then this is a great place to go. Get the meatball sliders, served on foccacia, a very delicious starter. I've tried the Primo Pesto, Toscana, Pancetta & Pomodoro, and Dante's Inferno--all were excellent. The crust has that wood fired quality that's more chewy cracker-like than breadstick and the toppings are top notch. Dante's Inferno is definitely spicy, not pretend spicy to please wimpy palettes.
(4)Tim F.
No special kids menu, but they will make a kids portion of any pasta with any sauce for a reasonable price. My pizza was loaded with toppings and tasty, but the crust was not exceptional. Not bad, but nothing special. I look forward to a return trip.
(4)Ricky C.
Eddie's is a very good Italian restaurant that is priced right. The Italian dishes are a great value. Because the bread is so good you will easily fill up on an entree which can be ordered half sized. The pizza is also great. I have tried the arriabatta and the blue smoke pizza and both were tasty.
(4)Alan S.
What a pleasant surprise this was. Perhaps it shouldn't have been in light of all the glowing reviews here, but it still was. Eddie's Creekside was and is not a fave of ours, but this sure as heck isn't THAT Eddie's. First of all, they did a great job on the restaurant itself. Not huge but not tiny either. It just feels right; warm and inviting. We sat in a very comfortable booth in the bar area (so just how happy are YOU, non-smoking Yelpers, that we don't have to breathe in that crap anymore? And, smokers, don't even try to justify the habit. Smoking is by now an IQ test: you smoke, you fail). We were waited on by "Cheryl," (forgive me if that's spelled wrong) who was just terrific. Very nice, professional, extremely knowledgeable about the menu, just all in all a perfect server who made a great dinner all the better. We tried the Parmasan Zucchini Planks and Sauteed Clams. Both were perfectly prepared (and I am not a usually a zucchini fan) and will absolutely be on our future "must try again" list. We got the Rigatoni Alla Bolognese for dinner. I liked it more than my wife but not because of any flavor issues. They PILE on the meat sauce which for me is great, but for my wife not so much. Easily remedied by getting the sauce on the side if your tastes match my wife's. Plus, this is VERY much a meat sauce in that it's browner than it is red. When I lived in NY this was called "gravy" and for good reason. We did get to try their marinara sauce which accompanied the zucchini and it was very tasty. We really found nothing that did not exceed our expectations. And, yes, expectations WERE modest, but they were just blown away by how great everything was. We plan on visiting again very, very soon. Congrats to Eddie's Pizzeria Cerino on doing it right.

After a string of horrid meals on the road, we were treated to this delightful place! I miss the days of the old school pizzeria that my family used to take us to when we were little. This place has that kind of vibe, but modern and unpretentious- gray, brick and cool light fixtures. We were taken there by our client who goes there often and said that a lot of the photos on the wall were taken by the owner's wife. Being in marketing, I noticed little touches like all the menus being placed face side down and all the chairs being angled in one direction like they're waiting for you- who pays attention to that kind of detail?? The service was friendly and snappy, she was down to earth and made great suggestions. We were with a big group so we ordered a lot of things- we got the blue smoke pizza (if you're into bbq sauce on your pizza you will die when you eat this!), followed by the fried zucchini (the mustard sauce served with this dish is realllyyyyy good) and then I got the gnocchi which had chicken, a cheese sauce and a nice bread crumb topping. We walked out fat and happy. I wish they'd open a location in AZ! Check this place out, you won't be disappointed.

My favorite pizza place in Cleveland. Great service. We frequent here a couple times per month.

Stopped in for lunch. Everything on the menu was sounding delicious so it took me a long time to decide. Finally went with a prosciutto and sun dried tomato pizza. Something I use to get from the gourmet pizza places I frequented in Cincinnati. Immediately got a bad vibe when I watched a kid in his early 20's start making my pizza back in the kitchen which I was seated with a full view of. This guy looked like they just hired him of a prison work release or something. Anyway... Pizza took way too long to cook for it's size easily 30+ minutes. I know because I've ordered these things a hundred times. When it was finally served to me I saw why... The "cook" had taken the extra time to burn my very meager looking 4 slivers of sundried tomato and 4 pieces of prosciutto all the way through. Didn't have another 30 mins to wait for food so I decided to pick off the burnt toppings and choke down the rest which taste kinda like a Zesta cracker with Prego tomato sauce on it. Paid my $20 check and away I went. Don't think I'll risk bringing another person here for dinner even though it looked interesting.

Went there tonight. I must say, after the disaster of last night, I wasn't expecting much from Cleveland. Tonight, I had two fellow big boys with big stomachs joining me. First, the place was spotless. Very clean, very bright, very old/modern look. I know they haven't been open long but it looks like they're going in the right direction. We sat on the side wit the bar which was okay. The other half is more bustling but it was perfect as I was dead tired. Bread = I never rate bread but this bread was friggin' awesome! A bit oily but that's a great thing. Plain bread that actually had taste. Calamari = As you can tell, I love calamari. These are obviously store breaded and they were really good. Not the best I've ever had but far from the worst. They had the distinction of being mixed with red peppers and sliced olives so whatever points I would take away from not being the best ever, they pretty much gained back. The marinara sauce that came with them though WAS the BEST EVER. Just an old fashioned Italian style tomato sauce. Friggin' and f---en awesome! Fried zuchini sticks = BEST EVER! Just right, breaded in-store and not too greasy even though they were deep fried. Same marinara sauce accompaniment and some other sauce that was okay, whatever it was. Mussels = I didn't try as I have plenty of my own ( I know, I know, muscles) and I don't really like eating ocean boogers. The two guys I were with happened to be seafood vendors and gave these 3 out of 4 thumbs up and said the broth they came in was awesome. Pizza = Shared by the 3, double pepperoni, sausage. Dough was fantastic, pepperoni was meh and sausage, though good, was barely there. The sauce seemed to be the same marinara sauce. Great for dip, not so much for pizza. When you need to put salt and pepper on a pizza for taste, there's something wrong. Pizza was a huge miss. Spaghetti & tomato sauce with meat balls, half portion (mine) = Friggin' awesome. Same marinara sauce, perfectly cooked pasta with a giant velvety meatball. All that was wrong with the pizza, you are forgiven. Veal parmigiana = HUGE portion and the guy said it was really good. Lemon chicken = Another HUGE portion and he said it wass great as well. 3 out of 4 thumbs up again. Cannoli = Not tried by me but the two others said it had no sugar or taste. It was also filled in nicely on the ends but was empty in the middle. Hmmmmm, not nice, not nice. Overall, I would much rather eat out the garbage can of this place than eat at a table at Mad Greek. I give this place 2 thumbs and a few other appendages up. I would give it 5 stars if not for the fogettable, journeyman pizza. 4.5 with a bullet
(4)Tim J.
I only got a carryout pizza, so can't justify giving five stars based on that alone, but guarentee that I will be going back very soon based on my pizza, and the carryout menu I picked up when I was there. They have a ton more going on than just pizza, and lots of the options looked amazing, but I am on my mission to try all the pizza around Cleveland. Got a proscuitto and onion pizza, and it was perfect in almost every way. The bacon-y meat was crispy, crunchy, and perfect, and the onions were not cooked to death, and had just a bit of snap left to them. The cheese was a good quality, and there was just the right amount. After looking back at how I am describing this, I think I figured out the perfect word to describe it "Goldilocks Pizza". Most of the time there is one component off on a pizza, but none of them were here, which brings me to my last "just right" part of the pizza. The crust was good. Had a crispiness to the outside, and was just doughy enough, not too thick or thin. The one thing that excapes my mind is the sauce. I will do further research and get back to you asap.
(4)Seed M.
Nice staff. Lots of meatballs. Pizza was OK. I was really hungry though. It could have tasted like a cat tail for all I know.
(2)P W.
The food here is good. Three friends and I wanted some decent dinner last night. Yelp led us here as it was close in proximity to my friend's apartment. We shared the fried zucchini appetizer, which was tasty. The bread was great also. The pasta entrees are all around $10 or $11. The chicken parmesan was very filling and the portion was huge. Enough to get full and have leftovers. My friend ordered the lemon chicken pasta and loved it. Another friend got a shrimp pasta dish and said it was good. The service was excellent. This was a nice, cheap dinner.
(3)Ellen S.
I am so happy they opened this place... So so very happy... In this particular area, Pizza Hut, Papa Johns, and Little Caesars have dominated for I don't know how many years. If you wanted to have a real, honest to God, pizza, you would have do drive out to Lakewood or Cleveland for it. And even then it's a little disappointing. But Pizza Cerino has breathed new life into the pizza industry of Seven Hills. Now this is pizza. Good Pizza! Good salads too... Color me impressed. Will definitely return, and with friends!
(5)Molly J.
yum! awesome food! the marinara sauce is delicious. nice atmosphere as well. not huge portions for the price, and the beer is very expensive, otherwise would have given 5 stars.
(4)Amanda D.
This is a "GO-TO" place. You can ALWAYS rely on delicious food with lots of flavor and primo service. I like to sit at the bar, the bartender is great- she remembered what I drank and it has been a couple months since my last visit! Stellar.
(5)Jillian N.
Eddie's Pizzeria Cerino is great! This is where I take friends when I need someplace near my apartment that is impressive. The pizza is delicious, the salads are impressive, the interior is cozy, the staff is friendly, did I mention the pizza is delicious? They always have a few specials going on depending on the time of the year, desserts for the season and lots of seafood options during Lent. I have been here about 5 times or so and have always left a very, very happy customer. Psst - their Facebook page is a good one to "like", they always post beautiful images of the food, specials, as well as opportunities to win gift cards!

I want to give four thumbs up to Eddie's Pizzeria Cerino because my wife and I have the same opinion of the place, the food, the staff, the pricing, etc. Now I won't give a 5-star rating to any restaurant because I think there's always room for improvement. In the case of Eddie's I would like to see their participation in some kind of restaurant.com or Dollar Stretcher coupon program. My wife and I don't dine out often but this place is definitely on our Top 5 places, probably in the 1 or 2 spot. I have to rave about the Italian Wedding Soup. I would be happy to just go there for the soup and a salad or appetizer. But, the pizza is very good so my wife and I will share that. Our usual bill is around $30 with tip which isn't bad for two diners that don't go out frequently. Neither of us are drinkers or I would assume the bill could easily double. The atmosphere is awesome. I don't think I have seen the place without a waiting line but that's a good sign. On our first visit I asked another person if she knew that it was worth the wait to which she smiled. "This is my fourth visit ... Yes, it's definitely worth the wait!" ... I don't know if she's a fellow yelper but her recommendation / review was spot on. We were delighted and we've returned and will continue to return. We were floored that while we had to wait a little while to be seated, the service was prompt and courteous beyond our belief. Thumbs up, Eddie!!! The dessert menu is awesome; however, due to cost and the fact that I am diabetic we refrain. Looking for a place to go? Check out Eddie's Pizzeria Cerino!!!

My sister held her graduation party here, on a Saturday afternoon, and things could not have been more perfect. The salads were fresh, and made with absolute quality ingredients, and portions were quite generous! I ordered the Whole Wheat Penne Sorrento, and was very impressed with the vegetables, pasta, and freshness of the dish. The staff was fantastic, and everyone was very happy.
(4)R D.
It was a 45 min wait. Pizza was too salty. No veggie pizza, had to order reg pie & had to pay $2 xtra for each toppings. Our 1 pie cost us $24
(1)Heather U.
Love this place. It's our 'fancy night dinner' since we don't get out too much. The wait time has not been too terrible for us yet, though it is only ever 2 of us. I love all the art for sale on the walls, and got to sit under my favorite, a ship. It was rather crowded, however I didn't mind since it made me feel like we where in Europe haha. Food comes fast and hot. We've also just ordered pizza to go, it's so delicious. I love their bread as well. I'll have to update my review when we go again since it has been a minute.
(5)Julie H.
We've been here only once. We tried to get in a couple other times but the place was jammed with long wait times. The food we had was good and the service great. Too bad they can't expand and accommodate more guests at the same time.
(4)Nikki H.
My boyfriend and I were planning a fancy anniversary dinner, then decided pizza sounded better and headed here. Suprisingly it was the perfect mix of fancy setting and kick ass pizza. We both ordered a drink and went to town on a basket of bread that would convert any gluten free dieter to the carb side. So fresh and soft with a garlicky glaze...life changing. Perfect for washing down a glass of Moscato the size of my face. The drinks were super generous sizes and the wine was amazing for only $8 a (giant) glass. We were going to oder 2 small pizzas but the waitress suggested a medium and small, which worked perfectly. The small is like a personal size pizza cut in 6, the medium was 8 regualr sized slices. The dough on both was so fresh and the sauce definitly had a homemade taste to it. We had a small white pizza with spinach (delicious) and a medium pepperoni (even better). Our waitress was seriously a saint. She knew the menu, checked on us all the time, and was super personable. I would definitly recommend going here for literally any occasion. We got a table without a problem and our food just as fast.
(5)Crystal P.
Pizzeria Cerino offers delicious and different Italian fare that is always reliable and affordable. My parents live in Old Brooklyn, my boyfriend's parents live in Broadview Heights... Pizzeria Cerino is the perfect spot to meet in the middle. Cerino's eclectic menu touts unique Italian dishes alongside traditional classics. Our favorites: the yummy foccacia bread, fried zucchini planks with lemon aioli, and lemon parm chicken. The atmosphere is open yet warm and the customer service is always a treat. Entrees run $11-$18. Come hungry because they serve up huge portions!
(4)Samantha H.
I've had pizza from here for takeout and eaten in. Both are good options. I ordered pizzas for takeout when we were having a bunch of people to the house. It's a step up from ordering the usual pepperoni pizzas and everyone loved the variety and gourmet toppings. The bread is good but we asked if they could warm it up and then bring it back which they did. A recommendation - keep the bread warm. I think it's better that way. The staff was so friendly. We got the Dante's Inferno and I seriously regretted it. It is so hot. It's aptly named, wasn't like I shouldn't have known. I think I've started to ignore spicy warnings because I usually have no problem. But that is one spicy pizza. Luckily the waitress saw my tears and brought me some milk that was greatly appreciated. My husband had no problem with the pizza though. Nice place! We'll be back.
(4)Keith F.
Stopped in for lunch and was quite pleased. Great pizza not greasy. My wife had a side cesear salad and she gave it a thumbs up. Nice atmosphere and good service. Our drink glasses never went dry which is nice on a hot day.

My parents and I have been loyal patrons of this restaurant for years. We love the food and have dined here around 30 times--celebrating birthdays, toasting anniversaries, and spending evenings with friends. On Sunday, September 14, we came in for dinner. This was our last dinner together before I left to start a new job in Spain--so clearly this was an important occasion for us. This turned out to be a huge mistake. All of the great times we have had here were spoiled by a truly awful experience. The service was absolutely horrible. While the food was good as always, it just couldn't make up for the treatment we received. This is the first time we have ever been to a restaurant where the waitress abandoned the table--never to come back! The waitress forgot our appetizer; we understand that this happens sometimes--not a big deal. By the time she remembered, we told her to skip it, as we were receiving our entrees at that point. We weren't rude or even angry; we just didn't want the appetizer anymore. She came back to the table with the cheese, and that was the last time we saw her! Another woman brought our bread (also forgotten) halfway into our entrees. Then, when we finished our meal, we sat and waited--until finally, yet another woman came over and asked if we needed anything. We asked what had happened to our first waitress and were told--much to our confusion--said that she was "upset" that she had forgotten our appetizer and wouldn't be back! The woman mentioned something along the lines of "well, that's how young people are." Really? Wouldn't it have been more appropriate to make up for the (minor!) mishap and step up the service, like at least checking to see that our entrees were good? Instead, the level of service took a nose-dive! We asked to speak to a manager (who also happens to be the owner of the restaurant), and the woman went to check. Upon her return, imagine our surprise when she said that the manager was aware of the situation, but couldn't leave the kitchen and refused to see us! (Note that there was almost no one else in the restaurant--I can't imagine the kitchen was that busy.) We are dumbfounded and disgusted by the lack of respect we received as customers at this restaurant. Because the restaurant offered no apology and no remedy to the situation, a small mistake snowballed into the most appalling service we have ever received. We love the food, but we can get good food anywhere. An integral part of going to a restaurant is the service, and it is completely lacking here. For that reason, we won't be coming back. Maybe Eddie should learn a thing or two about customer service. EDIT: After posting this review, I received this comment from Eddie: "Wow....been there 30 previous time with great results and no yelp reviews. One bad experience and you blast us on yelp. There is a word for that...unbelievable!" One bad experience was not the issue, Eddie. It was the complete lack of respect for your customers, a complete lack of intelligence on how to run a business in the service industry, and the complete lack of knowledge to know that to make it in this business, you apologize for mistakes made on the part of your restaurant. You have nothing but furthered my point that you have absolutely no respect for your patrons. That is the reason we will never be back.

I have to admit I may be biased. I love this restaurant, and even though I only come here about 5 times a year, the food is always great and the service is always impeccable. The atmosphere is like a trattoria, it's intimate, but not close or crowded. Kids are always welcome and there is a kids menu as well as options for full and half portions....And the half portions have always been sufficient. Today I tried a new item, pasta espanol. A cream sauce flavored with chorizo and peppers, perfect over rigatoni and entirely enjoyable. The wait for the food was barely noticeable and the service was excellent...neither over solicitous nor slow or absent, our server seemed to appear at exactly the appropriate time. My family of five had a unanimously great dinner and we will be back.

Went in wanting chicken Alfredo which was not on the menu. Strange since that is usually a staple in Italian restaurants. So instead I got the Lemon Chicken Parmigiana with Angel Hair Pasta with an Asiago Cream Sauce. The pasta was great. The chicken was pretty good but nothing special. Overall it was decent Italian food but a little overpriced in my opinion. Paid $14 for my dish and had no leftovers. The menu was limited too.

AMAZING food! We tried multiple pizzas and all were fantastic! I personally LOVED the Pesto Primo. Do not forget to order the meatball sliders as an appetizer because they are phenomenal and you won't regret it. We will be back!! Too many things I wanted to try!

Best place to eat! I'm for sure turning into a regular! Shrimp and Gnocchi Bake if you like a little spice is by far my favorite.

We're visiting Ohio from out of state (we're from New Jersey) and tripped on Eddie's by accident. My husband wanted Italian, and this place seemed to fit the bill as being casual enough to take the kids, and yet not a pizza place. It was the best meal decision we made the whole trip. Our waitress Dawn was excellent, she was very friendly, came by frequently and kept our glasses and bread full. We had calamari, which was cooked perfectly, as an appetizer, I had the baked ravioli, my husband had rigatoni, my son had spaghetti with meatballs and my daughter had the soup and a side salad. All of the food was excellent, and the portion sizes were very generous. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

One of my favorites! If i had unlimited income, I would eat here more often. I live very close so I mostly get carryout. I think I have only eaten in here once. When it first opened it used to be tight on space, it has opened up since they expanded. It is loud, but I don't expect it to be quiet. Food is top notch, I have eaten at Carrie Cerino's since I was a child and have always like Eddie's other restaurants he has opened. They have excellent salads and my favorite dish is the Lemon Chicken Parmesan.

Wow, what a find. My wife saw their website and we tried it last Monday. We both tried the lemon chicken and loved it. Great flavor, light breaking on the chicken and wonderful angel hair pasta. A great dish that didn't make you feel weighted down like some pasta dishes do. We enjoyed dinner so much, that we came back later in the week and each tried one of the pizzas. Another great meal. I highly recommend the Italian Blue Smoke pizza with grilled chicken. I should also mention that the staff was exceptional. Our waitress the first night was so friendly. And when she saw us the second night she made a point of coming over to say hello. When we come back to the area (we were visiting from out of town, but come back regularly), we have a "go to" spot.

A little fancier than your run of the mill pizzeria. More of a restaurant, if you will. This place was absolutely packed! Luckily the family had already gotten a table by the time we arrived or we would have waited for over an hour. They started out by bringing some bread to the table. It was delicious. Very soft with a hint of garlic. I grabbed two pieces against my will and had to force myself not to have any more. I followed that up with the Dante's Inferno pizza, which lived up to its name with a fire that burned in my stomach for the rest of the night. It had spicy sauce, ass kicking peppers, hot sausage, and goat cheese. Normally when a waitress says something is spicy, I laugh with skepticism. My eyes were watering by the second bite. So good! Not knowing what was ahead of me, I ordered a side of ranch. This ranch was a revelation. It was no ordinary ranch...oh no. I couldn't even begin to describe it. It tasted almost like a pizza ranch with tomato and spices mixed in. It danced on my tongue like the god of dressing made it himself and sent it to Eddies just for me. What I wouldn't give for a big bottle of it to take home. Sigh. My boyfriend had the BBQ blue chicken pizza. Not quite as good as the spicy lovers dream but almost. It also had goat cheese on it which I find awesome. The waitress was very nice and let us eat our own birthday cupcakes we brought with us. Not many places allow outside food but she even supplied the lighter for candles. Very cool. They also offer gluten free pasta for the entree dishes. Overall a great experience and I would gladly return.

This was our first time here. The service was excellent. The food was very good. It's a gem among the chain restaurant dregs of this area. The pizza was great. The braised beef ravioli was delicious. I highly recommend it. Thanks Eddie. (We didn't actually meet Eddie.)

One of the best pizza pies I have had throughout the whole country. Great service, outstanding desserts, The gold standard, that I will now hold other pizza pies to.

This was an awesome dinner. The place is hidden a bit, next to Aldis which kind of makes it even more of a great surprise. Service: for starters we went at 8 pm on a Friday night & only waited 15 minutes to be seated, pretty awesome. We had purchased an amazon local deal which we let the waitress know when we sat down. Sometimes using a groupon-like deal ends up guaranteeing sub par service but not in this case at all. Our server was fantastic. Food: we opted for juniors spicy calamari as an appetizer (the small portion for $11 is plenty to split) and a 9" primo pesto pizza ($12). With the complementary pieces of bread this was all more than enough to have us full with leftovers at the end of the night. The food came out super fast, in fact we were done within 45 minutes. (On a packed Friday night)! 4/5 stars just because the pizza wasn't all that we were expecting, it was not amazing but pretty good! Everything was also very fresh. Add a yuengling and (incredible) tiramisu for dessert and the bill came out to about $32 (not subtracting the voucher we had).

Great bar atmosphere--except when families bring their children in--then things get a bit noisy. It may take some waiting to get in, but the food is worth the wait. Outstanding Pizza and Mussels. I have tried several of their daily specials and they have all been great--and a good value. This is the perfect place to go when you want a simple, but good meal at a good price.

I absolutely adore this Italian restaurant in a sea of sandwich shops! I come here almost weekly and sit at the bar. The ladies at the bar are always friendly and attentive. I've almost tried everything on the menu and have not disliked anything yet. A mandatory must when I dine is the cousin Ron's calamari (without olives for me). The sun dried tomatoes and fresh grated cheese blend so perfectly with the light breading. I consider myself a calamari connoisseur and this is my all time favorite. Check out their happy hour menu $5 mussels, regular calamari, and awesome pizza!

This is where I go when I want my favorite cheese ravioli! I don't know if they are fried or just sauteed with some breadcrumbs but they come in a delicious asiago cream sauce, topped off with a ribbon of the marinara sauce. They are fantastic!! This past weekend I tried the veal ravioli and while good I like the cheese ravioli much more. My husband loves the pasta bolognese and I have had the eggplant parmesan which is also delicious. The warm bread they bring to the table is great. I gave it 4 stars only because the ravioli is $16 (7 ravioli and that's the full order) and you get nothing with it, no soup, salad, or veggie but the flavor is superb!

There are only a handful of places where you can always count on a good meal, and this is one of them. In the suburbs surrounding Parma, this is one of the few restaurants where the staff is well trained, and professional, the food( from the bread, to the salad, to the pizza toppings, pasta and seafoood) is always fresh and cooked to perfection, They have a specialty pizza to suit just about anyone, and if you don't want to spend quite so much you can make your own from a wide range of ingredients. My son likes a spicy pasta with shrimp dish that is no longer on the menu, but they are always kind enough to make it for him when he asks. The chef even stopped by tonight to make sure he liked it. If you want to go, get there early. It's a popular place, and rightly so.

I had time to kill before an appointment and happened to be driving down Broadview. To be honest, I had never even heard of Pizzeria Cerino. The storefront was friendly and inviting, so I went in expecting to find a little pizza shop. I was pleasantly surprised when I walked in to find a spacious, beautifully decorated, "ristorante". I was greeted immediately by very pleasant staff and shown to a table. I was dining solo and was not expecting to get the 'red carpet treatment' as many servers look at a solo diner as a waste of time. I feel bad I don't remember her name, but my server was spectacular. She was very attentive and made sure to check on me multiple times. The service was efficient. She suggested the specials and really did a wonderful job. Not to mention the food! This may have been the best pizza I have ever had. I tried the Mediterranean, with spinach, artichokes, black olives, goat cheese and red pepper. It was seasoned and baked perfectly. The flavors all came together for a masterpiece. I also had the generous half portion of the house salad which was delicious along side the garlic bread they serve.

Love the food and the atmosphere. I've had most things on the menu and really never went wrong.
(5)Tony D.
Meh. Pizza doesn't taste hand tossed. didn't know if they use a brick oven/coal fired, cuz the bottom crust has a trussed grill pattern, as if they sat on trays in something? Real gripe is price is not worth the food, pay for the "more upscale" atmosphere, which I didn't stay long in having called in a carryout.
(3)Jared W.
A damn tasty Italian restaurant. The portions are all pretty large, and quite well constructed. Good for friends and family to get together and enjoy a good, comparatively cheap dinner.

Holy Foccacia, this food is great. My husband kept showing off about going here for lunch with his work "buddies." However, he kept my snotty remarks at bay by always bringing me home his leftovers, including the eggplant and wild mushroom sandwich and a few slices of the thin-crust pizza (the "Salumi" with some kinds of Italian meats, sun-dried tomatoes, and some other stuff). Today we decided to take an "early bird dinner" / "late bird lunch" trip over to the restaurant, because we were already in the area doing stuff. At first I thought I was underdressed - because the interior seems awfully nice for a place with "Pizzeria" in the name - but I quickly realized that we were just fine in our scrubby t-shirts and shorts. Both the hostess and our waitress were extremely friendly, in a really genuine-seeming way. The foccacia they bring you at the beginning is very good, with some sea salt sprinkled on there. We shared a full-size Caesar salad, and were able to get the dressing on the side, no problem. It was very refreshing and was served with chilled plates - a nice touch. Instead of croutons, there were thinly sliced crostini which were very crunchy and great dipped in the dressing. I got the eggplant sandwich, which I'd enjoyed at home previously (and which is noted on their menu as a "favorite") and my husband got the spicy calamari. My sandwich was friggin' heavenly. It was crunchy, greasy in all the right places, and served with PIPING hot marinara (I'm telling you, this sauce did not stop steaming for ten minutes. I've never seen sauce stay hot that long!). The sandwich had fried eggplant slices, wild mushrooms, tomatoes, provolone cheese, and was served on what else...? Foccacia. Oh joy! Yet it didn't leave me feeling like I just ate a brick. You can choose a side (like I really needed anything else?) of a cannelini bean salad; fries; or soup. I had the bean salad, which also had just the right amount of pesto as well as roasted red peppers. I was extremely happy with this. We got some decadent-looking cupcakes for later, including one with a chocolate ganache atop marshmallow buttercream, as well as one with malted milk balls on top. I might sound like a lunatic, but even the diet coke tasted great here. Everything was affordable, and I can't wait to go back.

We have had multiple parties here and the staff has always been right on and perfect. The food is always fantastic and their attention to detail is impeccable. The food never looks or tastes rushed and has a fresh taste. The Calamari is better than most you will find in Cleveland's "upscale" restaurants and I was very impressed with the Eggplant Parm. I think my X and I especially like this place because we can take the kids to dinner with us at a reasonable cost and still feel like adults. The decor is very nice and clean with a separate room for the Bar area. I noticed they added an outdoor patio and i cant wait to try it out. This place is a hit. I couldn't think of one negative so i had to give it 5 stars. The only thing that could possibly make this place better is if it was free, but at their prices, it might as well be!

I used to work for Eddie Cerino back in the day when I was shaving peach fuzz off my chin and driving an 1982 Cutlass Supreme. He used to kick us out of the kitchen when he was making his secret family recipe bread. After I tasted it I knew why, because it was the best around and he didn't want anyone else duplicating it. At Eddie's Pizzeria Cerino I had the Cioppino and it was excellent. Like a bouillabaisse with pasta. Sorry for using a foodie snob term. If you don't know what bouillabaisse is, (its seafood stew of awesomeness). With just the right spiciness and tomato flavor I will remember this special for a long time. Eddie is running this dish until December so go get yourself some before its gone. This is another successful new restaurant started by Eddie in the Seven Hills 'hood. It was packed but we got a table in ten minutes. The wait staff was just as good as any higher end restaurant. I brought my 10 month old twins and 3 year old son with my wife. It was as family friendly as the Bill Cosby show or Leave it to Beaver. But this ain't no out of fashion restaurant. Its new, hip and is attractive to every generation and marital situation. It was great to get the whole family out together to have a great meal. Maybe that is why the Cerino family has been so successful in Cleveland. They understand what keeps family together: good food, good home, and good traditions.

The pizza is really nothing special. Everything else is really good though. I had some appetizer that had tomatoes, cheese, and herbs; this was way better than my pizza. Just remember not to bother with the pizza.
