The bread is kind of like an oversized bagel with Italian seasoning and it does not disappoint. Our server (Andie) was exceptional. She helped my wife with Gluten Free menu options and gave us all honest feedback on the menu. I was torn between a veal dish and shrimp risotto and Andie shared that the risotto is one of her favorite things on the menu, second only to the carbonara (which is what my wife got). We both loved our meals! The meal was delicious, prices were fair, atmosphere was wonderful and Andie exceeded all expectations as our server.

I came by for dinner around 6pm. I was told that it would be 30-40 min wait for an outdoor table…read more We chose to sit inside instead. It was quite warm throughout the dinner. Our waitress gave us some introduction on certain items but failed to mention that it's a Martini day! I asked about it so she told me two martinis on the menu were Thursday special. We each ordered a martini but they ran out of martini glasses so they were served on regular glasses. The lemon drop martini was very good though. We ordered calamari for appetizer, pesto pasta and chicken piccata for dinner. We were asked if we wanted to have bread.I supposed it's not an automatic offer? The bread looked like a bagel and it was very dense inside. It seems like the dough didn't rise the right way before baking. It wasn't that great with the dipping sauce - olive oil, very light balsamic and Parmesan mix. The pesto pasta was very oily and tastes more like sun-dried tomatoes than pesto. The chicken piccata was decent. The calamari was tender and flavorful. When the waitress brought our food to the table, I accidentally dropped my fork. The waitress just walked away without offering me a clean one.

A Fantastic Italian Dining Experience in Cleveland's Little Italy!…read more We absolutely chose the right Italian restaurant! Mia Bella checks all the boxes for a fantastic meal: a great vibe, kind and attentive service, and excellent food packed with authentic Italian flavor. Every dish was excellent, and the experience was made even better by our wonderful waitress, who recommended a glass of wine that paired beautifully with my lamb chops. It was a solid choice! Pro tip: Get a shot of limoncello to enjoy alongside your authentic Italian meal. It's a great way to add a little extra Italian flair to the experience! From the atmosphere and service to the food and drinks, Mia Bella hit all the marks. If you're visiting Cleveland's Little Italy and looking for a memorable Italian meal, this place is well worth a visit. Five stars and two thumbs up! Grazie, Mia Bella, for a wonderful dining experience!

What a neat little neighborhood Little Italy is! Managed a street spot right in front. The staff were so friendly and very attentive. Our waiter was fabulous. Our food was delicious. We started off with house bread and charred octopus. My ragu was delicious and my husband loved his especiale salad pasta dish. The portions are very generous; we left with boxes! The vibe is very relaxed inside . People were dressed up, people were dressed down; it is very comfortable. I apologized to the hostess for wearing a hoodie and leggings - I had just had surgery and my hotel was further out. She smiled and ushered us in. If you are in Cleveland and want to experience Little Italy , I have been told that all of the restaurants are lovely- Mia Bella has our vote!

Dark, moody, sexy...exactly the kind of atmosphere you want when you're getting dressed up, grabbing cocktails and catching up with a girlfriend. We grabbed seats at the bar and the bartender was fantastic. She welcomed us right away, asked if it was our first time, and gave us a quick rundown of the menu and cocktails. For our first drink, we both ordered the Black Widow...having absolutely no idea that it came with a whole presentation. Needless to say, we were entertained. The drinks here aren't just drinks -- they're part of the experience. For dinner, I ordered the gnocchi but swapped out the regular sauce for the spicy marinara they use with the calamari. GREAT decision. The spicy marinara worked so well with the gnocchi and I'd absolutely order it that way again. Pricing felt very fair for what you're getting. The food and cocktails were both high quality, but you're also paying for the ambiance and overall experience -- and Oak & Olive nails that part. Great drinks, great food, fantastic atmosphere and exactly what our girls' night needed. We'll definitely be back!

There's a secret entrance since it's a speakeasy, which is fun. Someone is always there to help guide you if you can't figure it out, haha. The lighting is low, and there are a lot of comfy spots to sit, which makes the environment feel very calm and cozy. We ended up all ordering a variety of espresso martinis. Mine was a crème brûlée one, which was divine, but they all sounded delicious! We also ordered the fig & pear pizza to share. I wasn't sure what to expect, but the flavors worked really well together! I'm hoping I can come here with my husband soon.

The food brought back that nostalgic taste of home-cooked Southern Italian cooking the kind of authentic flavors that are comforting, familiar, and incredibly satisfying. And the meatballs were absolutely amazing! I am a very hard critic to please when it comes to Italian food, and these definitely impressed me! The restaurant was clean, the service was wonderful, and the prices were extremely reasonable for the quality and portions. There's also a special connection for me: my sister worked for Parisson's at another location over 40 years ago, and it was so wonderful to see that the food and tradition have continued and, if anything, only gotten better! From start to finish, it was a fantastic experience. Don't change a thing, Parisson's! Keep doing exactly what you're doing and preserving those wonderful Italian flavors and traditions. We will absolutely be back!

This location has picturesque decor throughout: from the entryway to the dining area. (Check out the pictures of the decor)! There is statue in full armor before entering the dining area... so cool! Make sure to check out the plastic table display holders for limited time only specials and new items. The menu features: salads (house and antipasto), subs: meatball, sausage, and Italian, pasta: lasagna, penne, and spaghetti, pizzas, and you can't forget their cannoli! During this visit, I tried the half & half combo which has a half order of Parassons special meatball and half order of their sausage patties topped with pasta sausage and cheeses! I also added a side salad (iceberg lettuce, tomato's, cucumbers, and cheese with buttermilk ranch dressing ) I had the red onions removed from the side salad. You won't go home hungry! The service is always friendly and hospitable, willing to sing happy birthday (if you want them to). This place brings back lots of childhood memories!
