Best American Restaurants in Little Italy

I’ve been to Betts a few times and I absolutely love it. The entire staff is incredibly kind and professional and the food is amazing! I will be coming back to try everything on the menu.

Our recent visit to this restaurant marked our first experience, and it had been on our culinary bucket list for quite some time. We were eager to see if it would live up to the hype. I am thrilled to report that the restaurant not only met but truly exceeded our expectations! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and enthusiasm, setting a positive tone for the evening. The service was impeccable; our server was attentive without being intrusive, ensuring that all our needs were met promptly. The food was nothing short of excellent—each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. One of the standout features of our experience was the staff, who embodied different characters as they moved around the restaurant. Their interactions added a delightful layer of entertainment, making our dining experience not just a meal but a memorable event. This unique approach truly sets this restaurant apart from others we have visited. We left with full hearts (and stomachs) and are already looking forward to returning in the future! The only minor drawback was that the music played during our visit was slightly louder than we would have preferred, which made conversation a bit challenging at times. However, this did not detract significantly from our overall enjoyment. In summary, if you’re considering a visit here, I highly recommend it—you won’t be disappointed!

We had the seven vegetable salad and the scallops to start. Scallops, along with all the accoutrements that came with it, were phenomenal. Even the complimentary bread was fantastic, served with hummus. For entrees, we had the duck and the lamb, both were amazing. The skin of the duckbreast was crispy and melted in your mouth, the lamb shank fell off the bone. They were out of the dessert we wanted but the server came up with a solution that accommodated us nicely.

A gem in Cleveland Heights! Great food, great service, innovative cocktails. Large bar area and well designed table seating. We asked for slower service and the staff was very accommodating. Would highly recommend for business, personal, dates and family gatherings.

Wonderful seating and steaks cooked to perfection. Wife was very happy with my pick for our dinner arrangement. We go back again.
