Italian restaurants are so much more than just pasta. Each region of Italy is known for producing different styles of cuisine, so the specific dishes will depend on the origin and inspiration of the restaurant. Though there are typically enough pasta dishes and portion sizes to please every member of your party, Italian restaurants almost always offer pizza, calzones, soup, risotto, and a variety of deserts. A lot of pasta dishes will include meat or fish, but some restaurants will provide vegan, vegetarian, and even gluten free options for those sensitive to wheat. Most Italian-inspired restaurants will also offer breadsticks, garlic bread, and a menu for children.
According to Taste of Home, the best Italian restaurant in all of Ohio is Mia Belle Restaurant in Cleveland. Taste of Home mentioned that a few of the most popular dishes served at Mia Belle include the Lobster Ravioli, and Cheese Tortellini. Guests can order bread service with a side of butter and oil for only $4! Many of their dishes are also served with a unique "Mediterranean twist."
