Hotel Concierge Was Right! – After reading the reviews online I asked the hotel for a recommendation. They know thier city! Guarino's food was great! The service was good and friendly and I left full and happy! I will be in Cleveland for a few months and with the help of the Comcierge at the Intercontinental Hotel, I have found my spot.
poor service, tiny salad, overprice and underdelivered – slow service, $45 for lunch no booze included. dirty inside. salad was soo tiny. Lasagne was ok. manacotti was small and lacked flavor. this place just continues to go downhill more and more every year. It was so dark in there that I think they do it on purpose so that you can't see all the dirt!! Save your money and go to trattoria
no fun – I have worked in the business for 14 years. I have worked with Italian, French, and Mexican and Caribbean cuisine. I am an accomplished sous chef trained in Arizona, Pamplona (Spain), and Park City, Utah. I recently relocated to Ohio and was hired at Guarino's. Everything that is served is frozen. Food is flash boiled and sauce is applied, then sent to microwave oven's. Nothing is made in-house. I repeat- nothing is made in-house. And the Service. You can expect constant yelling (in english) and bickering (in englis... read more
waste of time.. – The moment we walked in the attitude of the employees is simply maddening. We ordered dinners. never received our salads. My friend received a mixed drink with dirt in it. By the time the waitress made her way back to us it was time to go, never did replace the drink. The people that work here are not friendly at all. No eye contact ever occurred. I will NEVER go back there or recommend..
Like terrible overpriced food/bad service? Come to Guarinos! – This was my first time eating at this "authentic" Italian restaurant. I feel confident in my decision to make it the last time. I should have known walking in it was going to be a painful night. The bartender/waitress/decorator unenthusiastically glared up from behind the bar, cluing me in on the mood she was in. We were seated without a word and stayed put for 10 minutes before being asked for drinks. I ordered a diet coke ($2.50) which was actually half a can a... read more
Steeeeeeeeerike – We went to a food show around noon then to Little Italy for lunch and Guarino's was one of several open so we chose it on length of service and ambiance. Service was good and so was the salad, albeit small- then the bottom fell out. My Chicken Piccata was tough and bland. The sauce appeared to be from a can as did the sauce accompanying the pasta. Mussels were dry and bland as well - was the garlic burned?. Two pasta dishes were unpalatable and the bruschetta was a slice of bread topped with a slice of toma... read more
Total disappointment! – Sooo disappointing for a place that has a great location andvery nice patio setting . It had been on our list of summer things to do too for a romantic night out. Well we had unbelievable slow service. Waited 15 minutes to be greeted at our table, another 15 minutes to get the wine we ordered. (Over priced at $7 a glass too.) Then the " real" waiting began. Everyone had been served around us-even those who had just sat down. We ordered cheesey garlic bread- it was like stale sliced plain white bread w... read more
The waiter filled in the tips on the bill for herself >< – The food is so-so. My friend & I oder Escargot for starter. The escargot tasted spoiled. For entree, I ordered a seafood pasta. The seafood (only 3 shrimps & 5 bay scallops, and some artificial crabmeat) is way over cooked and the pasta is too mushy. My friend ordered a veal shank, totally under cooked. The veal is way too tough. Definitely not worth the price. What surprise and anger me the most is, the waitress FILL OUT THE TIP FOR HERSELF!!! It is very rude. I nev... read more
Never again – The only good thing about this restaurant is the private parking lot - sadly, the experience inside the restaurant was poor. The cost for myself and my boyfriend was almost $60.00 w/tip, here's what we got for that: One glass each of house wine $7.00 each, tasted like box wine - where the whole box probably cost $7.00. Smallest salad I've ever seen, looks like they serve it on a teacup platter, and they squirt some orange goo on it, there are no choices of salad dressing. Bread for the table was 3 slices of whi... read more
