“Amazing pizza and drinks! Their Amaro Old Fashioned is to die for! Excellent service, everything fresh- I'll definitely be back to try more than just the pizza. Come in quick to get the Amaro cuz it's only on the Specials right now, not permanent cocktails, so get it while you can. It was my first time there today and I was blown away by the options and freshness. Half the places in Cleveland Heights' Little Italy don't even make fresh pasta and housemade sauce.”
“Bar Italia has some of the best pizza I’ve had hands down. Thin, crispy crust with just the right chew, fresh toppings, and flavor that hits every single bite. You can taste the quality in the sauce and the cheese alone, but when it all comes together it’s elite. the balance is always on point. Nothing greasy, nothing sloppy just real, well made Italian pizza the way it should be. Fresh out the oven, perfect for sharing if you even feel like sharing. Service is smooth, atmosphere is clean and classy, and the food comes out consistently great. This is the spot if you appreciate good pizza not just fast food pizza, but crafted pizza. Highly recommend. A must return.”
“We went to Bar Italia in Lakewood on a Saturday evening, and it was very busy—my mistake for not making a reservation! Luckily, we snagged a couple of seats at the bar, and it turned out to be a great night. The atmosphere was lively, and the service was still on point despite the crowd. The food was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend the Crispy Chicken Limonelle—so flavorful and tender. The Chicken Parmesan was also fantastic, classic and comforting. We’ll definitely be back, and we’ve already been telling our friends about it. If you’re thinking about going, make a reservation—but either way, it’s worth it!”
