Guarino's Restaurant

In 1898, Vincenzo Guarino arrived from Sicily and settled in Cleveland’s “Little Italy” to live with relatives. With the money saved from working as a road worker, he purchased a building, which housed a poolroom/tavern with an apartment above.

From our flavorful marinara sauce to our refreshing piccata, and our decades old lasagna, the old recipes still speak volumes. To this day, you can still come by Guarino’s and visit the Nancy’s children, Rachel & Scott and her oldest grandson Scott Jr, who still take pride in serving Cleveland for over a century.
