    Chicken Marinada Spaghetti
    Brittany A.

    The service was great. It was packed on an early Friday evening but our food still came out quick. Family oriented restaurant but the bar side was also a vibe.

    Free rolls

    Food was amazing and the service was fast and friendly! The red sauce is great and the portions are generous. We came on a Wednesday afternoon for lunch and sat in a booth. Will definitely be back!

    This family style restaurant is cramped to walk around to/ from your table or the bathroom. The food is relatively decent and has really good deals for takeout. The portions are huge, but I would love if they added a little extra pizzazz to the marinara sauce! If you eat in, expect for the service to be a bit slower. Overall this is a relatively decent place to go in a pinch!

    A neighborhood staple with a wonderful ambiance and delicious food. We visited for the first time…read moreon a Saturday evening, and it did not disappoint. I started with the house salad, featuring fresh mozzarella and a house dressing that perfectly balanced the flavors of the greens and cheese. For our entrees, we had the Chicken Parmesan and upgraded to the cheese tortellini with tomato cream sauce--they were absolute pillows of deliciousness. We also enjoyed the gnocchi with pesto and a side of meatballs, both of which were excellent. The only downside is the need for reservations due to limited parking, but the quality of the food more than makes up for it.

The staff sat us promptly and were so friendly and accommodating. Jennifer was our server and she was awesome! There was also a younger girl who filled water and cleared dishes that was so nice and very good at her job. Warm bread with oil to dip is brought out with our waters. We started with some wine and eggplant parmesan, so good! Then we got chicken Marsala and a pepperoni and mushroom pizza, which I loved. Pizza is my first go to at an Italian restaurant....if a restaurant can't get a pizza right....well, Nonna Ts hit the spot....and the Marsala was tender and very tasty. Finished up with tiramisu ....omg, not a huge tiramisu and this was some of the best I've ever had, loved it! Loved this place, we will definitely be going back soon!

My friends received complimentary house salads. I wish I had gotten that. I had the chicken Marsala which was great, but pasta was bland. Would have been better paired with a mashed potato. I also ordered the braised beef ravioli. The sauce lacked flavor. It was a little better with salt and pepper added.

    This was my first visit to Pranzo, as I work thru my bucket list of downtown Willoughby…read morerestaurants. A friend and I visited on a Thursday evening, the restaurant was small, quaint and cozy, with a steady stream of customers. There is a small bar. We were warmly greeted upon entering and immediately seated. Our server, Domenic, approached our table a short time later. He explained the menu, letting us know that bread and salad were included with our entrees. We proceeded to order cocktails, wine and a yummy pomegranate spritz. I ordered the chicken parmesan, my friend ordered the chicken marsala. Our salads and bread basket arrived quickly. The salad was generous, freshly made and tasty. The bread was fresh, served with a olive oil, infused with balsamic vinegar. Our entrees arrived just as we finished our salads, perfect timing. The chicken parmesan was prepared and plated nicely. The chicken was tender, seasoned, and topped with cheese and marinara, on top of penned pasta. The chicken was tasty. The pasta was a bit overcooked, for me. The marinara was a bit bland. I ate the chicken and skipped most of the pasta. My friend's Marsala was plated well, lots of mushrooms, but she commented that the entree was somewhat bland. The best part of the visit was our server, Domenic, he was attentive and friendly. Overall the meal was good, I would visit again, but this won't be my go-to Italian restaurant.

    My wife and I came here with a couple of close friends I've known since middle school - almost 40…read moreyears. My buddy's wife found the place. Great call! We let the chef decide what we were having, which was a bit more adventurous than I usually am. We were not disappointed. The food was really, really amazing. I'm not sure I've ever had a pork dish that I enjoyed as much as the one we had. The pasta was great. The salad contents were a little weird, but whatever. When your only complaint was the salad, you're doing OK. The restaurant was beautiful, and the staff was great. Everyone was very nice, but our waitress was particularly pleasant and seemed intent on helping us have a fun experience. Mama herself came to our table and quickly realized that we were amused by her wisecracks, so she kept coming back. She was cranky in a very fun way, if you can imagine. Dinner was a lot more expensive than I expected, but I am definitely glad we tried the place with our friends. We will be talking about that dinner for a long time. Probably a one-time visit, but if you want to have a special evening, this is a great choice.

We added a side of rosella sauce instead of marinara and it was delicious! Salads were beautiful and huge, lettuce fresh. Slightly overdressed, but it's fine. We got a bunch of dishes for mains to share - involtini, piccata, cacio e Pepe, and everything was amazing!!! Portions are large and will keep you full for days. Tiny little place but nicely decorated. It's cozy without being cramped. I will say, service did lack a little bit. No one introduced themselves as our waitress so when one asked for drinks. I placed my son's order so he would be occupied- she said she wasn't our waitress but would let her know. Ok? Then when ours did show up, it was rare of her to be back. Drinks were empty a long time, waited 20 minutes for a box, and dishes sat for a long time BUT the food made up for what service didn't. We will 100% be back!

    I came here for a book club with friends so I didn't know what to expect as I have never been here…read morebefore. All I knew was it is Italian. Inside it's very small and the tables are crammed together. When people would walk past our table to use the restroom I had at least 2 people hit my purse that was on the back of my chair. The purse isn't even big at all. It just felt extremely tight sitting between others who are dining. The server was very nice but the service was overall slow. We had to wait awhile to get our entrie orders taken. Then waiting even longer for our food. I think the server was overwhelmed with our size table of 8 people. She checked in on us often which was nice but at the end of our dinner she messed up almost everyone's check. It was very disorganized and everyone was confused about what they were paying for or who owed what. When I got my check I had what I ordered on my bill and it was my card number but another girls name showed up on my bill... weird. Food was just okay. About as good as Olive Garden and honestly I would prefer Olive Garden. My friend also wasn't impressed with the food and said she wouldn't go back there. There was nothing about the food that made us excited to go back. My friend got an espresso martini and she said it was okay but strong. She had ordered another one after finishing the first one and when the server brought it out it was basically black and looked like straight espresso coffee. My friend tried it, hated it and asked for 2 creamers to add to it. They couldn't make a good cocktail but they did have a good selection of wines.

The spicy was perfect. There was a steady stream of people coming in to get take out pizza. Great to have a nice pizza place in downtown Willoughby. Our server TJ was helpful. The only reason for four stars instead of five is because of the check out process and overcharging. We were told to pay up front on the way out. We weren't presented a bill. I paid it and left. I did ask for a receipt (yes, I balance to my credit card statement ). We were charged for 3 beverages ( we had two iced teas and one water). Additionally, we were charged $ 2.50 versus $ 2.00 for the cavatelli.
