    Papa Tony

    Honestly a great fast casual sandwich place. They have an amazing Italian sandwich, but don't sleep on the chicken parm. Doesn't take long to prepare the food and the staff is always friendly. Don't be afraid to try a home baked cookie as well. Another hidden secret they don't advertise is their pizza squares which are tasty and fairly priced as well. Bread is fresh but on the doughy or chewy side. I don't mind that but my some people prefer softer breads.

    Finally checked out Tripi and I'm so glad I did! I ordered 2 sandwiches online to take to a cleveland orchestra concert to eat at Blossom and the sandwiches were still so good! Ordered the turkey pesto and the chicken cutlet. The turkey pesto was reallly good and the focaccia soaked up all the pesto! The chicken cutlet would have been better had we eaten it fresh but still delicious. Staff was friendly and had the order as soon as I arrived! Super easy and I was able to find parking quickly too!

    Italian Beef

    Tripi is the kind of sandwich shop that reminds you why neighborhood spots still matter. The Italian beef absolutely delivered - messy in the best way, packed with flavor, and the bread held together like it knew it had a job to do.

    Tripi was on my list of places to visit for what seemed liked an eternity. I finally made it a priority to visit! It's one of Chef Anthony Zappola's restaurants. I love his food concepts in the Van Aken District, so my instant love for Tripi wasn't much of a surprise. I also ran into my friend who was eating at Tripi in the dining room. She was also enjoying her experience! We talked for a few minutes about how cool this place is! It's an aesthetically pleasing deli with exposed brick walls and family portraits. It very much feels like entering a modern deli in a big city. I haven't seen another one quite like it in CLE. At the front of the deli you'll discover a stand with various Italian delicacies like pizzelles, pastas, and other pantry favorites. Also, you'll see fridges with delicious looking desserts and vino (on average $12-16 a bottle). The back of the store has a very spacious dining room, select your own table or high top. Deli part is up front with options like pizza, subs, and pepperoni rolls. I ordered Papa Tony sub to go. It has a variety of salamis, capicola, provolone, lettuce, and tomato. The sub was already premade in the case, and I had an option to add on available ingredients. I felt like $14 was a very fair deal. Meat tasted refined and it has just the right amount of spice. I very much enjoyed this sub. I regret not trying dessert! Special note about the chocolate at this store. I have been looking for authentic Italian chocolate for a while at Italian stores, coming up empty. I tried East and West prominent family owned stores. All local stores carry popular brands that can be found anywhere. Here I found chocolates with different flavors that seemed very authentic. I'll be back to buy this chocolate! It was $18. This review wouldn't be complete without noting the friendliness of the employees. One of them quickly realized it's my first visit giving me a quick rundown of the menu and the store layout. I really appreciated this intro and super friendly demeanor. We also had a nice chat about how all the businesses in the area are a little community supportive of each other. I just love that! If you're in the area looking for good eats, stop by at Tripi! I think that you'll love it as much as I did!

    Came here for a weekday lunch with my wife...needed to try some of those sandwiches everyone's been raving about! Was not busy when we walked in, so service was quick and efficient. We ordered two sammies and a bag of homemade potato chips. They brought us the meal while we sat in the adjoining dining room. The Tuscan turkey sandwich was served on fresh focaccia bread and topped with pesto mayo, mozzarella and arugaula...it was light but very tasty with the zesty mayo countered by the peppery lettuce. The chicken parm sub was easily shareable and of course served hot with a bright tomato sauce and melted provolone cheese. The homemade rosemary potato chips really hit the spot for a salty bite in-between digging into the sandwiches. Glad we finally had the time to pop in and give them a go. Will not be our last time there!

    Chicken Cutlet & Prosciutto
    Alessandra S.

    Absolutely incredible sandwich and cheesecake. Plus it's priced very fairly bc the sandwiches are enough to split and loaded full. The service was fast and super friendly. The food feels super homey too!

    Pasta Dinner

    What a cute spot! Tripi has a small, reasonably priced menu, authentic Italian goods for sale (pasta, sweets, wine), and ample seating. The staff were SO sweet and friendly. We tried their famous Papa Tony -- the filling of the sandwich was delicious but the bread was a bit dry. We also tried the pasta dinner; the pasta was only ok but the meatballs were delicious. Overall, a solid spot to grab a quick, casual bite!

    Italian sandwich was killer!

    I saw the Italian sandwich on Insta featured in 'Best Sandwiches in Cleveland'. The list is no lie. I was so excited to find Tripi open around dinnertime so we popped in. The wedding soup was very good. We also shared a pepperoni roll and it was nice and stuffed. The crown jewel was the Italian sandwich. Peppers, muffulata, AND giardinera??! Yes please. The bread was fresh and delicious- I was pleased to find out they bake it themselves! Quality meats and cheeses and perfectly constructed. The staff was super friendly and walked us through our options before we ordered. It's not a huge menu- which I love. That tells me they do a handful of foods and they do them well. Prices were on par with similar shops. I don't normally directly compare small businesses, but there are clear reasons why I will likely visit Tripi over another popular sandwich shop in close proximity: 1) the hours 2) the availability 3) the dining room Can't wait to visit again and try more deliciousness. The pizza looked and smelled so good.

    23 June 2023 -- Outside Tripi (closed due to no food)

    Tripi Italian is now OPEN as of Thursday, 22 June 2023. The owner also owns Lox, Stock, and Brisket and the Rice Shop. SOLD OUT -- I arrived on a Friday afternoon at 2pm, a day after their grand opening, to find them sadly closed. I will try again another day but from a customer service perspective, at least they left a note on their front door about being sold out for the day. I came back the next day, on Saturday, 24 June and they were open. They opened at 11:30am and I arrived after 12:00noon. They got busy as I left around 12:40pm. FOOD (3.5/5) -- They have sandwiches and pasta dinners for $11. They also sell a salami sandwich for $13. There are soft drinks (soda), juices, and water bottles in a fridge for sale as well. Water is $1 for a bottle. I ordered the Italian sausage sandwich ($11) without peppers and without onions. The sausage was slightly spicy which I loved. The Italian sausage sandwich came with mozzarella cheese and a tomato sauce. I don't like eating cheese but the mozzarella was good. I didn't get sauce in my sandwich but later on, I asked someone to get me sauce on the side which made the sandwich taste a bit better because the BREAD was so hard. I could hardly eat the while sausage sandwich because the bread was almost rock hard. VIBE -- This is a casual Italian restaurant that feels more like a cafe. I love the colourful photo frames on the wall too. Overall, if you love pasta and sandwiches then come and try this new restaurant. **** - 72/150 total reviews in 2023 - 623 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 23 June 2023 (edited on 24 June 2023)

    Great sandwich, quick and very friendly! Plenty of places to sit and eat as well. Very nice seating area. Clean as well.

    Went in yesterday for pizza with my boyfriend. Realized on google it said it was more of a "take…read moreout" place so we ordered ahead. Coming into the store there was a cute counter by the window if you did decide to sit inside and eat. We came all the way from Kent for the pizza and wanted to try a slice before we left for home so my boyfriend ate a slice in the parking lot really quick. An employee (possibly the owner) came out with napkins and offered us to sit inside. We declined as we had to leave but the man graciously went inside and brought us out cold water bottles for our drive home! It was such a thoughtful gesture. Now onto the pizza. It was delicious! We ordered a regular pepperoni pizza and the white Neapolitan style pizza. It wouldn't let me add pineapple to my pizza online, which was fine because it didn't need it, the pizza was so good! My boyfriend loved his pepperoni pizza and I also enjoyed my Neapolitan style white pizza. It had a great garlicky flavor and was crispy on the crust. Will definitely be back to try the margarita pizza next! So if you're looking for a great pizza with hospitality I recommend coming to Joe De's!

A gentleman behind the counter, who I'm assuming is the owner, was very professional very friendly and went out of his way to even give my wife a drink out of the cooler. Additionally, we had a chicken Parm sub. It was very good and has a very light/homemade bread which is a must try. The pizza shop itself is very clean and has a welcoming atmosphere. Love supporting mom and pop shops like this. Keep up the great work Joe De's

    I did my research on some pizza places in the Cleveland area before visiting in December 2025, and…read moreIl Rione came up. When I saw the ratings, I decided to give it a try while I was in Cleveland. On the day I went, one of my closest friends who is from Cleveland happened to be in the area at the same time I was, so we decided to try Il Rione together before having Mitchell's Homemade Ice Cream afterward. Parking was a bit tricky, as we were unable to park right in front of the restaurant, but fortunately we found a spot reasonably close, so we did not have to walk too far. When we first walked in, the first thing I noticed was the atmosphere. Not only did the restaurant smell amazing from the baking pizzas, but it was also tastefully decorated for Christmastime and cozy. We were seated immediately, and our server was attentive and helpful, making us feel welcome and even offering suggestions on their best-selling pizzas. I ended up ordering the sausage pizza, and while the pizza as a whole was outstanding, the sauce was the best I have ever had. Whatever their sauce recipe is, it was unbelievable, and it will be difficult to top that particular sauce. My friend enjoyed his pizza as well, saying it was one of the best pizzas he had ever tasted. Il Rione is one of the best pizzas I have ever had. I will be more than happy to return the next time I am in the Cleveland area.

    Is the interior small, cute and cozy? Yes. Do you have to wait quite a while to be seated because…read moreof the aforementioned small aspect of this place? Yes. Since they don't take reservations, mentally prepare yourself for the wait. I came here with three friends on a Friday around 6:00/6:30 and waited around 50 minutes. It was nice outside so we just hung around outside of the restaurant. When we were seated the service was fast. We opted for the arugula salad and rione salad for the table and the salads were honestly delicious. For pizza, we ordered the larger size sausage pie (red sauce, mozzarella, roasted peppers, sautéed onions, garlic and parmesan). Thin crust with a good bite that holds its integrity pretty decently. Overall, this os probably one of the better pizzas in Cleveland.
