Reviews for Presti's Bakery in Cleveland, OH
Great place for well-prepared Italian fare. Stromboli's are reheated, but still quite good. The simple pasta salad was the... best I've ever had. Can get crowded, so do everyone a favor and get a number when you walk in the door and use the few minutesuntil your number is called to browse the delicious options in the display cases so you can order quickly. Little Italy was avery pleasant oasis in a city with more than a few unpleasant areas. Well worth a visit for lunch, dinner, or people watching. Read more
Obsessed! Came here twice during my stay in Cleveland and I already cannot wait to come back. Food was phenomenal and we were... left wanting more pastries. Service was a bit hectic, though we came in during a busy lunch hour. You have to grab a number andwait for them to call you, but their number tag machine wasn?t working too well and many numbers are skipped. Our cashier wasthe sweetest girl who, although a bit nervous, provided us with great attention and care. We got a spinach bread, chicken pestorigatoni, caesar pasta salad, and many desserts. The spinach bread was divine, the marinara sauce was one of the best I?vetasted. The chicken pesto was delicious although a bit cold and needed a touch of salt, but wonderful nonetheless. The caesarpasta salad was our favorite, we immediately came back inside to order another one for our long road trip back. Losing a starfor lack of cleanliness: -Cashier had a lovely long pony tail, but it would sometimes graze the food as she was grabbing it forus. -Cashiers had one glove and would sometimes grab the tongs with their non-gloved hand, grabbed them by the bottom part whichis meant to touch the food. -Water was readily available but we noticed there were bits of sediment at the bottom of thecup. -Bathroom was a nightmare, definitely do not recommend going in there if you?re able to hold it. Regardless, we lovedPresti?s Bakery and look forward to our next visit! Just hope they work on their cleanliness a bit :) Read more
Y'all, the stromboli are worth driving over two hours from Pittsburgh for. Here's how it goes: if you're there during a busy... time (especially a weekend afternoon), grab a number old-school deli style, then start checking out the goodies in the multiplecases. The sweets are good, I've tried a number of the cookies - but the stand out is the stromboli. We got a meat and a sausagethis time. My photos aren't going to do them justice.... just order one, trust me. Read more
Extremely busy for lunch. Food is pretty good. I thought the pesto tortellini was a little bit too oily my opinion. But there... artichoke pizza is so awesome. Read more
We stopped here after a glorious day at the Cleveland Museum of Art. The food was excellent and the pastries were even better.... This was our first time and we learned quickly to take a number if you want served. Ryan said the cannoli was fantastic like anexplosion of Italian in his mouth. We will definitely be back! Read more
The raspberry moose is really nice... Like all the products here .. The ambiance is amazing! I'll be going here all the time.... Great place after breakfast, lunch and dinner. highly recommend! Read more
Decidedly underwhelming. What?s with all the glowing reviews? $10 for a meat Stromboli and chocolate cannoli cake. Stromboli:... slightly rubbery ham, super cheap mushrooms, below average dough. The only saving grace was the cheese. It was good, but only asliver above average. Also, the marinara sauce was watery and lacked flavor. Man, the cake was disappointing. I?d expect to pay$2-2.50 for this at some sad-sack deli, where at least then you know it?ll be bad going into it. Bland as bland canbe. Overall, the worst food introduction to a city I?ve had in years. I was torn between one and two stars, and it escaped oneby only the slimmest of margins. At least the staff were nice. Read more
Stopped by for a late lunch. First time I've been here. We had four in our group. I had one of their daily panini sandwich... specials. Today happened to be ham with mustard and thinly sliced green apples. I was a little questionable about the greenapples but once it was grilled the sandwich was absolutely delicious. It came with a side of coleslaw or chips I had thecoleslaw and it was very good also. One person had ordered chicken marsala They didn't do a good job of heating it through butwe took it back up to the counter and they accommodated by warming it up some more and they were very satisfied with the dish.Also tried one of their pasta salads which was very good and then afterwards was a little bit of dessert we sampled a raspberrymousse a chocolate mousse some spumante a piece of German chocolate cake and a cream puff All is delicious. The service was veryfriendly and for being a busy lunch on a Friday afternoon service was quick. Read more
