I used to really like this place, but the last few times I've ordered here, it just seems to be going downhill. My order was handled by a young girl who seemed much more interested in flirting with the cook than making sure my sandwich was done correctly. I don't know what this char is, but it's not usually on their house sub. Or at least, it didn't used to be. No pepperoni bread today either. I drove 30 minutes for this and it I'll think more than twice next time. read more

Since the owner of Marc's bought this restaurant, I believe the quality has gone down. The original owners prided themselves with the best quality of food and customer service. I have noticed the sandwiches that I have ordered have much less ingredients especially meat. I have noticed cleanliness of the prep area being less cared for. I wish they never sold to Marc's. I miss the way it was. read more

Great food, great prices, highly recommend. Try their chicken cutlets, Italian beef, pizza and cannolis...excellent!

Great food. Good prices. Amazing salads. My favorite is the chef salad. Dressing is also very good. Sandwiches are very robust and tasty.

Why should you come here? Because the food is great full of flavors. You don't wait long it is fast and easy. My favorite is the meatball sub. Delicious..... read more

Had the d italia sub today, disappointed in it. Small amount of meat, bread tasted like a grocery store bun. Wont repeat

The lasagna was terrible tasting. The meat was dried out and crumbled. The sausage sandwich was overcooked.

DELICIOUS! Every time we stop here, I leave saying we need to remember to keep coming back. Great quick stop for a delicious meal. read more

This place is a hidden treasure. I initially wanted to get the meatball sub but saw the lasagna short video on there website and just had to try it. Well it was absolutely delicious and amazing. Thin layers pasta, beef, cheese and sauce just melts in your mouth (sauce is awesome). I had this once in theater district NYC and had less than half the portion and paid much more. They are pre-made hot and ready to pickup. Watch the 1/2 minute video and you will get what I'm talking about. read more

Before Marc's bought D'Italia I would have given them a 6 on a scale of 1-5. I don't know how many of their Italian sausage subs I've had, many, one of my favorites. Use to have an amazing amount of sausage cooked just right smothered in red sauce, peppers and onions and covered in cheese. The last two sausage subs I bought were very disappointing, despite paying extra for sauce and cheese (there has always been a small extra charge for sauce and cheese but it was well worth it before) today it looked like they dabbed a tablespoon or two on the bread, looked like two red dots on each half and almost no peppers and onions. Some cheese but no where close to before. I'm just so disappointed in the change and sorry but that was my motivation to leave my first review of any kind. Since Marc's bought them they have gone down hill and are no longer special. read more

Omg this was the best lasagna I've ever eaten! My brother was telling me about an amazing Italian takeout spot with $9, delicious lasagna. And a huge portion at that. He brought me some after he left work today and first of all, I can't believe that giant portion was only $9 lol. The lasagna is amazing. The sauce is perfect, and it has the perfect amount of cheese and sauce. He also got their cheesy garlic bread which was amazing too. Loved everything about this meal! read more

Absolutely superb! I'm married to an Italian so I lost the taste for Ragu long ago. This is a tiny place, maybe two tables, and most come in for take-out. The lunch hour gets busy. They make great sandwiches and their Sicilian pizza rivals New York. Sauce is great and the dough is light and airy yet crispy. We got a slice of Sicilian, a meatball sub and a sausage and pepper sub. All were excellent. We took a lot home because the portions are generous. We also took away their eggplant roll-ups (rivals mine) which we made the next night at home. If you're in the area, and heck, even if you're not, just GO! You will not be sorry. read more

So their Chicken Parm is the bomb, the Italian Beef rocks (I prefer the SWEET peppers), and the house salad dressing is bottle-worthy! Today was my 1st crack at their lasagna - BAM, wicked yummy, definitely enough for a lunch portion, and loaded with all the right stuff: meats, cheese, sauce... Great, now I need a NAP at 1pm! read more

Longtime listener, first time caller. Tried the February muffaletta special. Best muffaletta I've ever had. And huge portion. Will be back very soon to try more on the menu. Glad I finally popped in this Westlake gem! read more

Love this place. My standard order is the d'italia sub, the best Italian sub in town. Hand crafted, great bread & all the meats. The peppers & oil finish the job and the portion is just right. If u get it on special u get chips & a drink with it. Mostly carry out here but they do have a couple tables if u want to park it. Nice people too. The Italian beef is also fantastic & genuine Chicago style. But it comes with mozzarella and it's great. The giardiniera is key ingredient gives it a little snap. Because of the au jus I usually eat in when I polish off this fine sandwich but they will put it in a little go shot cup for u. I also buy a loaf of their pepperoni bread. Really enjoy this place & they do a good business. If u haven't tried the sandwiches here u are missing out. 5 stars. I'm starving now just thinking about it. read more

This little place has huge taste! I live nearby and whenever I need a sub for lunch or a little pasta ... I know where I'm heading. I HIGHLY recommend the their D'Italia or Eggplant Parm subs! You can't go wrong with those and they're big enough to save some for later too I also have two kids (9 and 6) and they are loving their Cavatelli and Ravioli And not to forget ... their pizza is GREAT for parties and their catering services are a hit when I'm throwing a party! D'Italia is a clutch little restaurant on the west side and stop by when you're around town read more

My husband and I finally tried this wonderful gem and I am so mad we waited this long. Everything we got was beyond. I had the D'italia sub with everything and hot pressed which was superb. The fettuccine Alfredo was so good. Tiramisu was perfection. Well done D'Italia, well done. read more

Great catering and to go Italian food. Worth a try. Service is quick. I enjoy the lasagna or pasta here.

Pizza. Get the pizza. It is really the hidden gem of the place. Not your typical crust (sicilian style). Thick, but light and airy. Crispy bottom but golden brown, not burnt. Excellent pizza sauce. Even better, they hooked me up with their killer meatballs, of which are insanely delicious on their own (had them multiple times a la carte), on top of the pepperoni which took it to a whole new level. One of the best in Cleveland. Yes get the sandwiches, yes get the desserts (especially the brownie), and yes don't miss out on the pizza as well. read more

Still as good as it ever was. Not every five star review place survives the test of time. Some morph and lose focus from their roots. Others get bored and just stop paying attention to details. Still others cheapen their product to make more money. D'Italia is still on the top. It is what it is. An Italian lunch, take away and catering food place. Actually surprised my first 5 start review was way back from 2013. Been an on and off regular ever since. My current tip: Try the special for lunch. Can you say value meal? Includes a chip and drink of your choice. I'll bet you find yourself here week after week on the same day for your favorite lunch! read more

Some of the best Italian food and bakery on the west side. A wonderful family owned business. Every single thing I have ever ordered is amazing. They have delicious sandwiches, soups, pizza and much more. Can't say enough good things about this establishment! read more

My wife found this place to try while we were traveling from the U.P. Of Michigan to New York as we like to try new spots and something different. I understand there is new ownership. We got there at a busy time and my only "suggestion " would be a little better ordering process or organization. We had the daily special which was the D Italia sammich warm and some of their antipasto Salad. The sandwich was simple with quality ingredients, fresh and freakin Delicious!!! The antipasto salad was the bomb although I would like a little smaller pieces of cheese and meat in it, it was amazing and could be a meal in itself !!! Their special including chips and a beverage is a damn great deal and if I lived near by I would go nowhere else !!! We ate in the car and saved our 2nd sammich for dinner on the road. Just about ready to pull out of the parking lot and my wife says wait, I gotta go get a piece of their cheesecake. Came back 10 minutes later with cheesecake, limoncello cake, assortment of cookies and a cannoli for me. Was it good??? Let's just say say as good as it all was, I'm glad I don't live near by as I would be as big as a house!!! We travel through the area quite often and now we have another goto besides Slyman's deli in Cleveland. Keep up the good work , keep the great daily specials and don't skimp on the quality!!! We'll be back soon!!! P.S. I consider myself a gourmet home chef and pride myself in my meatballs!!! I saw yours and they look damn fine and trying the meatball sammich next time along with the D Italia sammich. Great way to share!!! Slammer!!! read more

OMG! Italia in Westlake is a life saver! We had a family event and I ran out of time to make a savory side dish. I came in to Italia's, ordered eggplant roulettes & they were the hit of the dinner! They were absolutely delicious & had plenty of scrumptious sauce. (I think I might buy their marinara instead of taking the time to make it myself! it is soooo good!) Thanks! read more

Ok, so this is another local "gem" that is worth driving out of your way for. BEST Sicilian style pizza I've had in a long time, their Italian Beef sandwich was very bit as good as Al's or Portillo's, and that is saying A LOT! Great service, small dine-in area, and just a lot of friendly character! Pepperoni Bread is to die for! (Got one to take home) read more

I stopped in tonight after meaning to visit D'Italia for quite some time. I had high hopes after reading the reviews that I would find amazing Italian beef that rivaled Chicago's Portillo's. When I arrived, there was plenty of parking spaces and the store had 3 people in line ahead of me. I ordered my italian beef sandwich without peppers, but with cheese. I also grabbed a slice of tiramisu from the refrigerator before checking out. The sandwich only took a few minutes to wait and they packaged it and the au jus tightly to go. The italian beef was good, but I think I just had too high of hopes and was craving something just like Portillo's. Unfortunately, while the sandwich was good, it just wasn't quite a substitute for my Portillo's craving. The beef itself was good. It tasted like it melted in your mouth. However, it lacked a bit of seasoning that I would typically equate with italian beef and felt more like a french dip. That being said, it still tasted really good and I'll definitely go back for it, but a little seasoning could have gone a long way. I'm also used to a dipped italian beef where the sandwich is soaked in au jus, but the tiny cup of au jus wasn't really sufficient to be used in that manner. Next visit, I'll ask for extra. The bread is tasty, but has a harder outside, unlike a softer Gonella roll, so you really need a lot of au jus to permeate through the roll. The tiramisu was amazing. It is heavy on the mascarpone and less on the lady fingers, but the lady fingers were still so sufficiently soaked in espresso that you got a strong taste to it. I'm a big fan of the cold custard-like taste of mascarpone and prefer the ratio of mascarpone to lady fingers to favor the mascarpone, so it was a perfect treat for me. Outside of that, the general experience was great. Everybody was really friendly and helpful. The prices are very fair and I was able to get my sandwich and tiramisu for under $12. They also offer a variety of pastas that I will definitely be trying on my next visit, as well as their fill-to-order canolis. read more

Man, I somehow missed this gem for years! And I pass it on a weekly basis! Stopped by to grab sandwiches for lunch while visiting my mom. Based on the reviews, I decided on the D'Italia and I got my daughter the meatball sub. I asked for no cheese, no butter on my grilled D'Italia and was impressed that the cashier asked if I had a dairy allergy. When I said yes, she instructed her coworker to ensure there wasn't any cheese on the sandwich. About $15 and 5 minutes later, I took my carry out sandwiches to my moms to enjoy. What a delicious treat! I will be back! read more

I've ordered 1000s of dollars worth of food since they opened originally. Many meals and also mulitple times catering. I've noticed since the new owners have taken over its not the same from the family that kept quality and service important. I think quality has gone down on pizza and handful of other popular items. Still the main products I got were fairly good and convenient, so I kept going from time to time. Last week, I think I am done. My chicken cutlet sandwich was tough like it had been reheated a few times(not saying that was exacty true) but it was tough. Also, I almost had to make sure I stopped one of the workers from finishing my sandwich as it was being prepared due to I saw him first wipe his nose then cough into his gloves. The older male employee then walked over to his drink in the cooler grabbed that and walked back to the food prep area grabbing deli meat and cheese off the cutting boards placing it in his mouth. He coughed again and stood there waiting. The gloves were never changed!!! He never touched my sandwich, but I was ready to say something in disgust as I was very close to canceling my order. Then i watched the cashier also eat cheese or food from the prep area. I couldn't believe it . I am thinking someone is going to get sick. This is disgusting watching this. My food showed up and I left. It was again cold and tough. Nothing like a authentic italian deli and how it used to be. I wanted to throw it away. I usually don't write reviews but management needs to know this. I know this wasn't a bad day. You either have strict polices with food or you don't. This place needs to fire just about everyone or have some serious policy discussions and education with their staff i am not going back. management get involved please. This place used to be great! read more

Great little hidden gem. The Italian beef sandwich is arguably the best in town. The meatball sub and Ditalia sub are also amazing. Fast service as well! read more

Bravo! Stopped here for lunch on a whim, and boy am I glad I did. Had a big slice of vegetable pizza with pesto sauce. OUTSTANDING! They offered warm it in the oven before serving. The crust was medium thick, but light. How do you do that so well? The pesto sauce was delicious, topped with tomatoes, roasted red peppers, onion, pepperoncini, and cheese. Not yet satiated, i tried their castelvetrano olives & a limoncello cookie. Yum! Looks like they have quite a menu of hot and cold subs, salads, and pasta dishes. Salads and desserts in the cooler all looked good. There is also a deli counter with Italian meats and salads, and a freezer with frozen goodies. Relatively easy to find off of I-90 at the intersection of Detroit & Canterbury, east of Crocker. I will be back! read more

2 1/2 years after my first review, and I absolutely need to compliment D'Italia again! Made the journey north to the big city from my rural abode and stopped by for another great Italian Beef Sandwich. It was as GREAT as the one in my original review below. But this time I tried the white pizza too. Oh My Oh My!! I was blown away with the dough! I have made pizza for 50 years, and would give anything to know their recipe and work flow on this beauty! The center was pillowy soft, the crust was egg shell crisp, the cornice was utter buttery heaven! Oh and the cheese, the cheese... the best in the world! In the counter display was Grande Provolone and Sorrento Mozzarella. Imagine that, the two brands that I respect above all others for pizza. Finally if your feeling low, go to D'Italia, the smile of the woman working the register and taking orders will melt the heart of the most curmudgeon among us, and the food will amaze your palate! read more

Listen---everyone has different tastes. What I think is a strong sandwich, you might tell me is nothing like the one you had when you were 16 at the local summer carnival kissing what's her name behind the Tilt-A-Whirl. I get it. Food can bring back wonderful memories of times and places which only enhance the experience. So no matter how amazing the food really is years later, it can't compare to those long past memories associated with the time you had that one special meal with a special person at a special time. THAT said, I won't claim that how you perceive the D'Italia Italian Beef sandwich is the way I do as the single best Italian Beef sandwich east of Chicago. Some prefer a little more seasoning to their beef. Some like a little more soak to the roll. I claim that the mixture of quality beef, perfectly melted cheese, always fresh roll, and perfect heat jardiniere fuse together to make one hell of a sandwich. Let's start with the bun. Always fresh. Never stale. I don't know how they do it. I've gotten some stale buns everywhere from Subway to Jimmy John's. But here? ALWAYS fresh. every time. Then, the meat. Never gristly, rubbery, or stringy. Always tender, juicy, and infusing the bun with loads of taste. And the meat:bun ratio is totally on point. Never too much, never too little. Anthony, the sandwich wizard, never fumbles the snap putting this miracle together. Could the brother and sister combo of Rick and Lisa, proprietors of this suburban gem, add a little additional seasoning to the meat? Maybe. But the dipping juice ("au jus" in the culinary parlance) supplied is more than enough IMHO to provide all the additional taste and wetness (notice I am consciously avoiding using the word "moist" in this review....you're welcome) you should need. You want taste? Make sure to include the jardiniere when asked. The optimal amount of kick which eliminates any need at all for additional seasoning/spices. Truly the star of the sandwich. That additional heat delivers the goods in a most satisfying way. And the mozzarella on top? Perfectly oven melted with a slight brown every time. Cuts into the spiciness of the jardiniere in a perfect panoply of exquisite synchronicity. How they do it time and time again befuddles me. You can say Portillo's is your favorite of all time because little Katie Smallville asked you to go steady while eating Italian Beef sammiches in your hometown Oak Brook franchise. Great memories. But why not give this one a try and make some new memories. You won't be disappointed. read more
