I WISH Abos was closer to me! I moved to the west side, but I absolutely love this place. I used to get it with my family weekly! Now anytime I'm in the area we make a stop! The pizza is so good, quality dough, and the other dishes are all always great and we'll thought out. Not just your average Italian dishes, they are above and beyond! Seriously love this place read more

I'd heard the food was good, so we stopped in for lunch to check the place out, as i am supercritical of Italian food. We ordered eggplant parmesian sandwich, kale salad, and calamari. All were well executed, with nuanced flavors and nice presentation. So many more specials and menu items that I'll be back to try! read more

This is probably our favorite neighborhood place on "No Cook Friday". We've been several times and we have always enjoyed our meal. Nice, clean, contemporary atmosphere. The owner greets you as you enter and always finds time to stop by the table to talk about the specials. If the crab cakes are available, it's a must try along with the excellent clam chowder. If you are in the mood for a pizza, try the Mediterranean. It's delicious. The Chicken Piccata is listed as a chefs specialty and deserves that recommendation. All around, relaxed but attentive service and a meal you can count on to delight. Try this place out. You'll come back, I promise! read more

My husband and I met some East side friends here for dinner. Food was fabulous and we got to visit with the owner during our meal. We sat at the bar to watch the Indians game. He was so friendly and welcoming. Nona's lasagna...yum! I ate the whole plate which won me a fist bump from our new owner friend! read more

everything on the menu is amazing. the gnocchi is the ultimate comfort food. lauren is the coolest waiter. we met the owner and he was so sweet. 10/10 read more

Love the food here!! I try a different dish each time I dine, everything I have tried so far is amazing! Happy hour everyday (except sat) until 7pm love it!!! Happy that this place is just around the corner from my house. Highly recommend! read more

Nice neutral decor. We were there on a Tuesday night, so it was fairly quiet. The food came out hot and tasted good. Portions were not large, but that was a nice change. Had to ask for bread instead of it being brought automatically. Service was excellent and very friendly. Will visit again. read more

Abo's Grill - Italian Near Me - Lyndhurst, Ohio

Great service and atmosphere. Sat outside in the back patio with a view of their garden. Food was expertly cooked. Veal Marsala was best I ever had. Pizza fries was legitimately the best way I've ever had eggplant. They truly value the quality of ingredients the use. They really deserve the patronage. We will be back just to hang and to make this a sports watch spot. read more

Abo's Grill - Pizza fries - Italian Near Me - Lyndhurst, Ohio

Abos signifies the difference between chain and local resturaunts. They treat you extremely well here and make you feel at home. Every time we've eaten here the food has been exceptional. Great place for a date too! We've also order pizza for pickup a few times and have really enjoyed the BBQ chicken. This place is a local staple read more

This is a great restaurant with a great atmosphere. It mixes bar and food and environment in even portions. The food is great and the service is pleasant. The tables are themselves are unique and there is not too many tables so the place feels intimate. A great place to eat and a good place to meet friends. read more

This is the second time I'm here great Italian food friendly service very prompt from order to getting food. Also one of the few restaurants still open after 9:30pm We've been to many Italian restaurants in California this one is up there with some of the best. Will come back again on my next visit. Their sausage penne is awesome read more

Just an odd place. Not sure what is wants to be. Food was decent. Decor was nonexistent. Watched a party walk in, they were never greeted, they stood there a minute and left and the place was NOT busy!! Saw, what we assumed was the owner, sitting at the bar. Never approached us. read more

Nice little place and the food was decent. Very clean and food was presented nicely and quickly. Price point for what you get is a bit high.

With wife and daughter fresh made gnocci, lasgna and a club sandwich with fresh made chips. Everything was very good and fresh made.

My five friends and I were in the area hanging out, when we passed Abo's Grill and decided to try it out. We went in and were immediately seated and our server came right out and took our drink order. Throughout our visit to their restaurant, we were checked on regularly by our wonderful server, Terri, but also by the manager/owner and another server. They all worked together to make sure we got the very best service they had to offer. I would say that they made us feel right at home, but they didn't, because I would never get anywhere close to that level of service at home. They treated us like royalty, or maybe even better than royalty. The food was also wonderful, I got the chicken parm and it was amazing. To top off the fantastic service and food, they even went so far as to complement us, saying that we were a great, well-mannered group and they were glad to have us stop in. If I'm ever in the area again, I know where I'm going to be dining. read more

To start, this place is not family friendly. They have high chairs and kids menus, but won't give them crayons or pens in fear that they might write on their cool wood tables. Decor: Table layout is weird, only two windows in the whole place, and the fake distressed wall design is terrible. When building from scratch, it's critical to hire a restaurant design expert for lighting, sound and visual. It feels like you got stuck in a brick prison box that serves food and drinks. They will realize this was a cost that shouldn't have overlooked in due time. Food/menu: They want to be Italian, but serves non Italian food. Chicken sandwich? BLT? Grilled Cheese? Either your Italian, or a bar and grill. The pizza fries were good, hot peppers weren't hot and lacked flavor, chicken Parmesan and chips were fresh and a nice portion, and the beet salad was small, overpriced and lacked any creativity. As for the server, she was sweet but nothing more then a bar server. She had no enthusiasm about the restaurant, she didn't asked us if we had been there before, and didn't offer any suggestions as to what we should order. The owner: He was watching tables like a hawk (which was weird), looked miserable sitting at the bar, and wasn't open to listening to constructive feedback. On the way out, we didn't get a thank you for stopping in, or we look forward to welcoming you back. It was clear that they want drinking adults and no kids even at 5:30 on a Saturday night. I love supporting non-chain restaurants, but this one needs Gordon Ramsey before they loose their investment. read more

My sister and I just happened to stop at Abo's Grill last Saturday and had no idea how awesome our experience would be! We loved our entrees and our dessert! The presentation of the food equally match how delicious everything was. Will definitely go back! read more

Went on Saturday night. Place brand new. Nice decor. Good waitress and service. Bread very good. Calzone very good and large. Great price $6 plus $1 each item. Too much for one person. My only other food comment would be that the sauce wasn't very flavorful. I told the owner as he was circulating around the dining room asking everyone about their food. He was very attentive to my comment and was sincere. I would go back and try pizza next time. Prices are good but he has lots of competition for italian on mayfield. read more

It's nice to have a new Italian option close by. I've been to Abo's four times since they opened and there are plenty of things on the menu I'd like to try. Since they are new, I'm going to cut them a break, for now. FOOD - 6/10: I've had the pizza on two different occasions, the cavatelli w/meat balls on another and the lasagna most recently. The two pizzas I had (both pepperoni) came out completely different each time. The first was delicious and crispy, the sauce was excellent. A week later I ordered the same pizza and it was barely cooked and the sauce was way too sweet and not the same as it was the first time. A RESTAURANT MUST HAVE CONSISTENCY! The cavatelli w/meat balls is one of the best I've ever had. The meat balls are out of this world! A must have. The lasagna tasted good, but it was overcooked on the edges and cold in the center. Not good. SERVICE: - 8/10: Our waitresses were very nice each time, no complaints. My only suggestion is that it seems that there is no order to the system. By that I mean, our waitress each time had tables on opposite ends of the room which meant they were running back and forth from end to end. Can't they just each have a section? VALUE: 7/10: Prices are reasonable. The bar is huge (maybe too big) and seems to get a lot of business. It's a shame they opened in the fall/winter and can't yet utilize the patio on the back. read more

Amazing customer service and amazing food! Great for families and the outdoor patio is divine! With a TV to watch sports... We will be back, ASAP! Thank you to their fabulous staff for the delicious pasta, pizza, lasagna, and wine! read more

This is my second time here and have had same experience. Food needs flavor. Very bland.

My friends and I tired this place for this first time and none of us were very impressed with the food. Service was great. Clean inside however very noisy due to high ceilings and concrete floors. They need to add some acoustical panels! We ordered veal, cavatelli, chicken Michelina dish, calamari and arancini. The only thing we enjoyed was the arancini. The calamari you can tell it was frozen, the breading fell right off. The pasta sauce had no flavor, the veal parm wasnt really flavored well and nothing was seasoned properly. Overall, food not great! read more

This is an awesome place that I frequent quite often. Every time I've been there, the service was great! The food is always on point. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

The stromboli is amazing....you cant have a good stromboli without good bread, and Abo's grill nailed it. Full of meat too. Makes me sad I'm not local! read more

I would definitely give Abo's another try, but our first time there was a bit rough. We came in at lunch, and there were two other tables. We were presented with menus and drinks promptly, and our waitress returned to take our orders. Unfortunately, this is the last we saw of our server for quite a while, especially with so few other tables to serve. Unfortunately, when our food arrived, I was quite disappointed. The chicken parmesan was dry, as was the bread. The sauce on the side was good, but not great. The chips were great. Thin sliced, and crispy. Definitely worth a second chance. read more

The pizza was very good with a very crispy crust. We got the provolone app and it looked great however was not completely melted and only warm. My husband got the chicken parm sandwich which he said was "ok". Our server was very sweet however her language barrier made it difficult to get our needs met. She iften didn't understand what we requested. It was very clean inside and the decor nice. It is very however dark and loud inside. read more

Our group of 8 met here for dinner, and everything went well. We had a brand new waitress who did a great job. Service was bit slow, but sine two members of our group ordered pizza, which always takes a while. I began with an appetizer of arancini which I've never seen on a menu in the US before. My only previous encounter with this food was a Mt. Etna cafeteria, so I wanted to try a good one. I was not disappointed. My entree was the carbonara pasta in an Alfredo sauce. I enjoyed it and had some left to take home. My spouse had penne pasta in a marinara sauce with meatballs. He was not impressed. Those with the pizzas were pleased as was the diner with the chicken picatta. I would be happy to return. read more

This place is Amazing!!! Chicken Parm sandwich is Ridiculously Good! words can't describe how delicious this sandwich was! We also enjoyed pizza and salad as well, the only thing We are disappointed it's about dessert, we got the tiramisu and is not worth the price, We were expecting a delicious dessert for that money. Our server was nice and polite so We'll definitely recommend this place and we'll come back for sure. read more

4 of us ate dinner the Wed night before Thanksgiving. There was a good sized crowd and it was pretty noisy. There's a very nice beer selection and many wines to choose from as well. 3 of us ordered the the veal and pasta. For me, the taste was way too garlicky but not everyone agreed. In fact from dish to dish the garlic taste varied. We also had lasagna which had a delicious sauce but tasted like it was all sauce and cheese-not the hearty noodley texture I'm used to. The service was good and the owner was always available and chatting people up. We didn't love our meals but we're willing to give Abo's another chance, maybe for their pizza next time. read more

Excellent food, cool space, nice owner. I'm not sure why this place has any bad reviews - maybe just hiccups during its first few weeks?

My fiancee's parents took me here for my birthday dinner. I got the veal milano, a breaded veal dish with capellini pasta. The veal was very bland and had some sort of canned sauce on the top of it. The pasta was inedible and had absolutely no taste whatsoever, with no sauce at all. I ended up not eating at all. My fiancée's shrimp pasta looked like they poured canned Alfredo sauce all over it. I felt bad for her parents for paying almost $20 for my meal that was worth 5 cents. My advice is to flavor your meats and work hard on your pasta. Was not worth it at all and was probably the worst restaurant meal I've had in years. read more

I love the pizza at Abo's. The meat and Mediterranean are favorites...especially the Mediterranean. Staff is very friendly and prices are reasonable. Highly recommend Abo's! read more

The homemade pasta was delicious. The service was good and the atmosphere was excellent. There was a couple hiccups which one would expect with a new restaurant but it was clear that they are on the right track. read more

Stopped in tonight. There was a wait to be seated and the bartender offered us a seat at the bar. We were just going to have a drink and check it out. Maybe an app or a pizza since the game was on. The bartender was top notch. She went over menu items and explained everything was home made. She gave us detailed descriptions and we ended up having dinner. The service is ourstanding. If you have a wait sit at the bar especially if Gina is there! She introduced us to the owner and we had a great experience. I'm only giving it 4 stars because the prices were a little high. Then again you are getting homemade food. Overall we will be back and probably pull up a chair at the bar watch the game while we hopfully get to try some new items on the menu. Great atmosphere! read more

This place is a hidden gem in Lyndhurst and the greater Cleveland area. Incredible atmosphere and food. Ordered the pizza fries and chicken Parmesan and was blown away. This place knows how to make great Italian food and has excellent service. Can't wait to try the pizza next time I visit. Btw there is a separate room for the multiple cheesecake options. You heard me right. A dessert room. read more

Great food and great service! A great place to go for a nice dinner or casually stop by. Enjoyable atmosphere and reasonable prices! A nice change from the other options around! Highly recommend! read more

The food we had was fantastic, the portions were great and the plating was simple. Clean, nice place. The service was non existent. I think the owner lets his nieces work there without food service training. The bar is the weirdest shaped bar I've ever seen, not to mention you could park a tractor trailer behind it and the employees would still have room to walk around it. If you added up all the "behind the bar" space in all of the bars in the state of Ohio, Abo's would still have more space. Decor? Zero. read more

Watched this place go up and was excited to try. Food was decent but the menu was a bit confusing. Should stick with Italian vs mix of Italian and American. Will give it another shot. read more

Finally tried the pizza everyone has been raving about. It was absolutely delicious. I will definitely return to try it again. Not only that the owners, and staff make you feel welcome. Love this place. read more

Third visit - wonderful service and excellent food! We love love the pizza! Tried one of the specialty pizza Amazing! The food and salads are well worth the travel time! Great place for dinner and a drink! Can hardly wait to come back for the lasagna. read more
