Gaetano's - Willoughby Hills

Leisure travel with friends. My friend picked this restaurant. It’s a decent size restaurant with simple decor. Very much Italian themed settings. The location of the restaurant is not in those big box store shopping center. It’s very easy to get to. Good food. I am a grown man and I think the portion of pasta dish is more than I need. However I stomached all. I like the Italian wedding soup a lot. Service is great. Our server always has a smile on her face. I would definitely go back again. I like the food which is very much their own recipes.

It was a Monday night it was a cruise night from 8 to 5:00 which is completely wrong for that size of a parking lot, I don't know who came up with that idea but what was that guy thinking about. The music outside was way too loud an interfered with everybody's meal inside, not a good look for a family restaurant

My husband and I stopped for lunch on a whim. It was our first time here and we will definitely be back very soon!! Our waitress was so kind and friendly the entire time. The restaurant has a cozy, family owned vibe and we loved that. I ordered the chicken Parmesan with cavitelli noodles and my husband got the same with spaghetti noodles. I got a house salad with mine and he had Italian Wedding Soup with his. Everything was absolutely delicious!! I loved the house dressing on my salad and my husband is still raving about how good his soup was. We both throughly enjoyed our entrees as well. The chicken was cooked perfectly and very crispy. Their pasta sauce is also very good. Noodles were cooked perfectly too. They also bring fresh baked bread and oh my goodness!! The best bread we have ever had!! Highly recommend this restaurant for any meal.

This is a small, what appears to be, family owned restaurant. We were welcomed as soon as we entered. The restaurant had a decent atmosphere. I enjoyed the Italian music playing low in the background. Our waitress was very nice. They brought out 4 pieces of warm bread for us. It was delicious. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I ordered the eggplant parmesean with a side of spaghetti and aglio olio sauce. The eggplant was nicely cooked and was crispy. I really liked the marinara sauce. It was very flavorful with a hint of sweetness. Not too much, just enough. The side of spaghetti needed salt and parmigian, which was on the table so I could add as much as I liked. My husband got the sausage parmesean sandwich. He really liked the bread, sauce and sausage. It didn't come with fries or any kind of side though. We also got the wedding soup. It was delicious. There were a ton of noodles. I again added parmesean. We also got a cannoli to share which was one of the best we've had in a long time. Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu and made my son buttered noodles which weren't on the menu.

This has got to be the worst food I have ever eaten or attempted to eat. My strip steak was more like a hamburger that I couldn't cut. Stuffed shells we couldn't cut never ate. Stood waiting to sit forever never recommend
