Il Rione

Super lively with great pizza and wine selection. I'm not a local and came here during my most recent visit. I was thinking pizza would be good to try out and was recommended this place. The place was PACKED and was quoting an hour and half to get a table. Bar is open seating and I was lucky that when I went 2 people got up. Fantastic thin crust pizza! The flavors mixed perfectly and couldn't ask for more. I had the Speck with a side of pesto. White base with sweetness from the honey. Not your typical pizza but it was delicious! Paired with a glass of red wine and I was happy I found this place!

I had the absolute delight of making my first visit to Il Rione on November the 29th. I was simply blown away by…well, by everything! The restaurant itself is simply charming, the person who assisted me with my order (Jackie N.) was very kind (always a plus) and the pizza was outstanding! My plan is to return in the spring (I live in the Detroit area) with my daughters, to have them experience truly, a delightful, and special neighborhood gem!

Decided to check this place out on a Thursday night about an hour or two before closing. It is good to see that it was still clearly busy and pizzaa are moving in and out of the ovens. Going to start with the good and great about this place. The decor was awesome. It was super clean there and our server was more than accommodating. The music was upbeat and a thousand times different than what you would hear in a normal restaurant which was really cool. Ordered a small Margherita pizza with a side of sauce and it was absolutely amazing. It was a thinner crust pizza but not too thin so that was great. Pizza came out hot from the oven and was one of the best pizzas. I've had a long time. Okay so here's the bad.. and I dingged them one star for this cuz it's not a good look at all. Even though everyone was super friendly and helpful I was pretty put off by the fact that a large number of them were openly drinking beer and doing shots. I'm not sure what that was all about but if I was the owner or the manager I think I would have a problem with my people doing that while also running an oven, making pizza and serving customers

This spot is worth a try for sure. The brick oven pizza was perfect. The pizzas were slightly charred, full of flavor with a crisp bottom and the toppings tasty. The salad was dressed welled but not over the top. The cocktails are balanced and not overly sweet. The service was attentive without being overbearing. We arrived with family and had a fantastic night though Il Rione could be great for a quick date night or just an evening on your own.

One of the best pizza spots in Cleveland. Usually packed, but if you're fine with waiting, it's worth it. We got a red and a white sauce pizza with varied toppings. Pizza came out quick and was delicious. I preferred the white sauce myself. Great atmosphere inside as well. Great drink options, too. Cocktails were really good. We'll be back!

Thursday night date night and we decided to try ll Rione for a salad and pizza . We dined in ,the atmosphere was amazing and the service was on point. Had a house salad we wish it had more than just iceberg lettuce and for an Italian place just capers and goat cheese was a little plain. The waitress kept our water full . We ordered just a large cheese pizza which was very good , not the best we've had but definitely top 10. If you like new york style pizza its a must try , we will definitely be back .
