We opted for Guido's Pizza Haven and Restaurant which is now located in a much nicer facility than they had when the ladies when to school in Chesterland. I ordered the veal sandwich and added cheese, onions and peppers. My friend also ordered a sandwich, also with cheese, onions and peppers. The sandwiches were huge - we should have opted for the half sandwich option. And, with the cheese, onions and peppers, these sandwiches start out as "knife and fork" sandwiches. I was eventually able to eat part of it like a sandwich after eating a lot of the filling. Our sandwiches were delicious and the service was great. CAUTION - Guido's is CASH ONLY and they do not accept debit or credit cards. There is an onsite ATM.

We started with the Italian wedding soup, which was warm, comforting, and delicious. For dinner, our table tried the Bolognese, chicken Madeira, tortellini, and spaghetti. Everything was flavorful and satisfying, and the spaghetti looked like exactly what you hope for at a neighborhood Italian restaurant--a giant plate of pasta covered in red sauce with an enormous meatball in the middle. And when I say the portions are huge, I mean HUGE. There was no chance of ordering dessert because I could only finish about half of my entrée. The good news is that the other half became an entire lunch the next day, so basically this is dinner and meal prep in one. The service was friendly and attentive, and the whole place had such a warm, comfortable atmosphere. Delicious food, generous portions, and genuinely good service. Come hungry--and plan on leaving with a box.

As someone else said, this is a real gem for Mentor, which is just packed with so-so places to eat. We went there for my wife's birthday dinner, and it was fantastic. The portions are huge. I lucked out as they had a ribeye special so I ordered that. I love a good rare steak, but too many places will either give you a raw steak or over done steak. Nonna knew what rare was, and it was done to perfection. One of the few places where no seasonings were needed on the steak. My wife got the chicken piccata and she loved that as well. Too much for her to eat in one sitting, but I will finish it off for lunch today. My wife's salad was perfect too. Too many places are downsizing their salads, and it was great to see this wonderful salad that was in a big bowl, with the small balls of fresh mozzarella on it. I had the Wedding soup with my steak, and the broth was so flavorful. I'm not a huge fan of the egg drops, but it was still really good. I know others love the egg drops. They also have this fresh bread that is amazing!!! Unfortunately, we were too stuffed for desert, so we didn't get to taste any of that. On the website it suggests to get a reservation, which we did. For a Tuesday evening, we might have been okay without one, but It's nice to see a place that takes reservations, especially when you don't want to wait for someplace. They do have some great looking pizza's too, which I think I might try next time. Certainly a keeper and a great place in Mentor.
