What our guests are saying
We went to Sainato’s the other day. Had heard that they had a Monday offer on their pizzas and decided to give it a try. It was such a great discovery! We decided to build our own pizzas with the toppings that we wanted which was great, I always love to make it a as veggie as possible and the results were delicious! The pizzas were extremely tasty and we thought we were going to have leftovers but that didn’t happen at all! We ate the whole thing because they were extremely addictive! So I Highly recommend trying them on Mondays for sure ! Also, the service was very good and we had a great experience there with them!

This was a massive surprise. Truly enjoyable experience, great with the kids, food was spectacular (the best Italian Beef I ever had, better than Chicago). Cool old building and great service.
Colin S.
First time here and had a great time. The calamari was some of the best I've had in cleveland, the caprese was good and our server/bartender was great! Tori made sure I had a good experience, gave me suggestions and was super sweet. Good location, parking was east to find, competitively priced, has a patio, full bar and good food.
