Stino and his staff take you back to how food was and is cooked in Italy. The meals are cooked to perfection. The staff is friendly and attentive. This is a must try restaurant and bring cash, they don’t take credit cards.

Delicious food here! Another family member said the fettuccine was amazing! However, the service was very slow. It took some time to get bread and there was never a refill offer for bread. However, the spaghetti bolognese was quite tasty as long as you enjoy sun-dried tomatoes. Unfortunately, the meat was very sparse in the bolognese sauce. That was a bit disappointing. The flavor was very good though. Also, please note that this restaurant is cash or check only. I would return here when in town.

This place used to be one of my favorite restaurants. I walked in at 7pm to buy a dessert to go and they denied me and wouldn’t accept my payment. Will never go back and will never give them my money again. They should learn how to service their customers better. The lady who I spoke to was incredibly rude, as well.

Stino’s is a wonderful family business that serves delicious, authentic Italian. The staff was extremely courteous and prompt. Last visit, my food looked just as good as it tasted. (Not pictured, the equally delicious dessert that didn’t last long enough for a photo op.) I highly recommend!

The bartender was very skillful and we just shared the fried calamari appetizer here. It was really good calamari! We’ll be back to try pasta dinner.

This was our first visit to celebrate a birthday. It was packed but worth the wait.
Everything was wonderful! The service,the table we had was a great one. The food, it so worth the wait! Absolutely delicious. Chef Stino came out and it really made the evening so much more special for our birthday guy.
We will be back!

Met some friends there from out of town. Service was amazing, the atmosphere very warm, but the portions are so small, and the prices were elevated. Left hungry.

My main complaint is with my order of meatballs. The menu said serves two….. well, for 8 dollars I got two golf ball sized meatballs that were clearly not made in house, and could tell they were microwaved. The centers were lukewarm at best and mushy. The shape and size were far too uniform to have been made in house (tasted and looked like they came out of a large Costco bag)and far too soggy to have been fried up in a made to order fashion. They weren’t even cooked in the sauce!
My lasagna was just ok, again judging by the temperature of the inside of it, it was microwaved (and not long enough) I’ve been to many Italian restaurants around town and can tell when they are actually COOKING the food. The bread they brought out was stale ciabatta bread you could get from Marc’s (and the same could be said about the penne pasta, cheap box pasta!). No refills on water, soda, or wine were asked about.
It was hard to get the servers attention. At one point when attempting to pay the bill, he informed me they don’t accept cards. So I said, oh ok I have cash, one second, and he just walked away to assist another table, and completely ignored us For another ten minutes even though the cash had been procured .5 seconds after he informed me. Over all it was a terrible experience. I could have gone to peppers in Lakewood, Bruno’s on Lorain, or Buccis right down the road and had a five star FRESHLY COOKED meal for considerably less money. I hope Stino da Napoli reaches out to Gordon Ramsey so they can get back on track so the food reflects the prices they are charging! I rarely have an experience where I feel it’s necessary to write a review, but this was definitely one of those times. Please do better stinos. I work hard for my money, and I feel like I just threw mine down the toilet.
