***Update: we had the pizza tonight and it was so delicious. I think it's the best pizza in have had in CLE since moving here last year. We also tried the carbonara- seemed more like an Alfredo sauce. But honestly, it was so good, they can call it whatever they like! I have yet to try something we don't like. My hubby says they will cater everything in our life from here forward.***
The best thing that ever happened to me when craving Italian food in Lakewood was ordering from Italian Creations.
I've currently tried the chicken parmesan, the meat lasagna and the chicken marsala.
First, the red sauce for the lasagna and the chicken parm is so yummy- nice rich flavor and perfect balance of sweet and rich. The perfect sauce. My hubby and I ordered these two dishes the first time and we had enough for two huge meals. Warning: you will want to eat it all. All of it. Great portion of chicken and pasta. Lasagna was beyond delicious. I tend not to order lasagna but this is one I just can't stop thinking about. Layers of cheese and meat and tons of sauce. Both dishes reheated very well.
Next try was a solo run and I had the chicken marsala. Um, outrageously good! This is not something I would order but hubby put the idea in my mind and wasn't feeling red sauce. He does not like gnocchi so I ordered with spaghetti instead so he could eat the leftovers. Hahaha- testament to true love that there was anything left. Sauce was creamy and perfect hint of sweetness but rich from the wine. Huge slices of portobello mushrooms. Yum!
The prices may seem high but don't let that deter you! We are talking super generous portions and homemade goodness. From other places in the area, portion/price ratio is a real steal. This is fine dining Italian in the comfort of your own home.
The meals we had all came with salad and bread. The bread should have a review of its own because it is THAT good. Soft and flavorful, with focaccia like crusty layer on top. I just want to eat the whole loaf.
Definitely try this place out!! I can't wait to try the pizza and sandwiches. Ok, and I have an eye on the carbonara..
They deliver for a $2 service fee.
