Papa Tony
Jacob B.

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!

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!

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.

Counter space and prep area

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!

Pasta Dinner
Pam Pam G.

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!

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!

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)
Agnes I.

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.

OK This pizza was seriously good! So good I went back twice. I loved the name, and the design and…read morelayout of the shop were great. It's small, but the pizza definitely makes a big impression! The pizza was fresh, thin, and had that New York-style flavor I've been missing. The pepperoni was legit, too! As a New Yorker, I'm always looking for a good slice, and this was hands down the best pizza I had while visiting Cleveland. It's more of a artisanal place (think Table 87) style pizza than a traditional NY slice, but the authenticity and flavor are definitely there. You can tell they really put care into what they're making. The staff was also super nice, friendly, and helpful, which made the experience even better. If you're from NY and looking for a taste of home, or just love good pizza, I definitely recommend checking this place out. It gave me a little taste of what I've been missing, and I'm so glad I found it!

I'm going to be honest, if you claim to be "New York inspired" you've got a lot to live up to - and…read moreyou'd better live up to that hype. Good Pizza does that. My son and I were in town for a concert and walked around. He's a pizza guy and we walked in for the 2 slices and drink for $12 special. It's walkup and order service and they brought it out, hot and ready in just a few minutes. It's a clean, modern environment with plenty of seating. He got a traditional crust margherita pizza while I opted for the Detroit style pepperoni. Both were outstanding. He loved the sweetness of the sauce and the cheese blend. My Detroit style was a little crispier than I like, but it didn't ruin the flavor at all. The small pepperonis curled up and kept that grease right inside (yesss!). New York inspired? In Ohio? Absol-freaking-lutely!

I just relocated to Ohio from Connecticut, so finding a real New Haven pie here was non-negotiable…read more Joe De's is legit. First visit, I got the New Haven pie with sausage -- which they source directly from a local butcher, and you can taste the difference. We also got to talk with one of the owners for a while. Super personable, and the customer service matches. You can tell it's a long-running family business. I wanted to go back once more before writing this, just to be sure the first time wasn't a fluke. It wasn't. Second visit was the margherita as-is plus a New Haven pie with beef pepperoni. Both exceptional. The sauce is what really sets it off. Growing up in the South, I had no idea what good pizza was until I moved to CT. Leaving that behind was the thing I expected to miss most about Connecticut. Glad I don't have to -- they've got a regular now.

We have been wanting to try this place out for awhile after hearing so many good reviews and they…read morewere right, this place has some pretty good pizza. We ordered online and picked up in the store. Our order was ready on time and the staff was very nice. The pizza was light and full of flavor. I was pleasantly surprised and would definitely order from here again. It is more expensive than your average pizza, but worth it if you like brick oven pizza and they also have other items like salads, appetizers, and sandwiches.

When I arrived, the staff greeted me and seemed genuinely excited to sell their pizza and cookies. The owner was front and center and you could feel his passion for what he was doing. I got a chocolate cookie to go because they had free samples and I couldn't resist. I requested a Piggy Bird, a Chicken Club, and a Heartburner. When I got home, the pizzas smelled amazing and were still hot. My son snatched the cookie immediately. I tried all three pies and they were all delicious. The pickles and white sauce really made the chicken club unique and tasty. The owner describes it as, "the pizza I eat when I'm not in the mood for pizza". He couldn't be more right. The Piggy Bird is always incredible. It's just a great tasting pizza and was our favorite of the three. My son really likes pepperoni, so we got him the Heartburner and it was very very good. The taste and quality of the pizza is top notch. We'll be back for more, especially from the secret menu. Glad this place is somewhat close to home.

They had a good amount of vegan options! I got the Vegan Firebird with a side of vegan ranch and a vegan strawberry sugar cookie. Everything was absolutely phenomenal! So if you ever find yourself in NE Ohio it's definitely worth a stop! The service was fast and friendly! The atmosphere is laid back and fun as the seating is picnic tables! I will absolutely be back!

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.
