Italian Creations

Went here for dinner, have been looking for a great Italian place. Portions were HUGE and they don’t skimp on the sauce which is a great thing because it is awesome. Comes with a salad or soup, Italian dressing was good and so was the bread. Doesn’t look like much on the outside, but who cares with food like this! Great take out, definitely recommend.

Updated review: We have ventured into more than Baked Ziti, and folks, it’s so good. We got the Chicken Marsala (which is one breast, all the mushrooms ever, gnocchi and Marsala gravy), a personal pizza (to taste it) and two salads.
It was plenty for my very pregnant self, my husband and our 3 year old. The salads are huge! 6×6 container filled and their ranch dressing is wonderful!
The Chicken Marsala was amazing! I mean, like we want to throw a party just so they cater it, it’s that good.
The pizza was superb! It’s what I remember from growing up. We are DEFINITELY getting a full size one next time. And, as if all that wasn’t good enough, they were short on fresh bread so we got a free dessert instead. Hello? I’m in love!
All of that for $ 21. If you haven’t tried this place yet, do it. I’m so happy it’s at the end of my street :)

DELICIOUS! Ordered a make your own pasta dish for dinner based on the recommendation of my mother. Awesome! Pesto was out of this world, noodles was perfectly cooked, the shrimp and mushrooms were to die for. Just a perfect meal all around, and the best part? I enjoyed it in the comfort of my own home!

If it’s on their menu, it has got to be good. I have NEVER been disappointed by the Creations coming from this loving Italian business. There usually isn’t seating available as their catering business is hopping, so plan to carry your goods home in some sort of camouflage bag to reduce your risk of being hamburgled! Seriously tho, the family that owns this wonderful place is a breath of fresh air. I recommend the pasta with Vodka Cream sauce. You will not be disappointed.

My daughter and son-​in-​law had Italian Creations cater their wedding, and we couldn’t be happier. The venue was great, the DJ fantastic, but people really raved about the food! Everything was fresh and flavorful! My favorite was the five cheese ravioli with roasted red pepper sauce, but it was all good. Ross and his crew were awesome!

***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.

If you like Italian Food this is the place to go! Family owned Business. Has a restaurant along with Catering Services. Have used them for our Family Wedding and Baby Showers as well as different church functions & fundraisers! Moderately priced and Ross works with you and your budget. Food is delicious especially the Lemon Chicken! Ross goes above and beyond with his customer service! A great place to both eat at or use for catering!

I ordered delivery to my home for my husband & me. It was fantastic. Its just as good as Brunos & Peppers.

This catering was AMAZING! We had a 50^th birthday that we wanted to cater, and they did a great job. We ordered by the pan instead of per person so that we could have more of a variety and get everything we wanted — and every dish was enjoyed! And we had so many leftovers — the serving size was huge.
We tried:
Chicken Parmesan (Most popular dish)
Chicken Marsala (This is what I had — amazing!)
Salmon
Italian Sausage and Peppers (This was also very popular)
Pasta with Marinara
Fettuccine Alfredo (I think the best I’ve ever had!)
Vegetable Medley (broccoli, mushrooms, red peppers, zucchini)
Red-​skinned Potatoes (so perfectly done and lightly salted)
Wild Rice
Greek Salad (feta, red onion, artichokes, cucumbers, kalamata olives, etc)
Caesar Salad
Bread (really good, seasoned bread) and salad dressing were included.
Great price for the quality and quantity of food. Amiable and punctual staff. We would definitely order from here again.

Ahh the season of grad parties galore… hot days of sitting in under backyard tents, sweating your ass off, eating mediocre catering food…
But there is hope for the catered food. I was pleasantly surprised when I attended a birthday/​grad party earlier today. The company delivered 2 lovely dishes each of lemon chicken, chicken marsala, pasta with pesto, pasta with sweet roasted red pepper, pasta with a tomato cream sauce, focaccia bread, corn chutney, and a simple mista salad. I was expected dried out chicken, half-​cooked pasta, and soggy salad greens.
The lemon chicken and chicken marsala were absolutely delicious. Usually, I dislike the typically sweet chicken marsala wine sauce. This sauce was savory with nice hints of marsala wine and large mushrooms swimming in the pool of sauce. :) Ahhh. MARSALA SAUCE. MMMM… The lemon caper sauce was good as well, just not quite as mouth watering as the marsala sauce. I wish they put a few more capers in the lemon sauce to make it pop out more against the lemon flavoring. Each pan came with roughly 30 pieces of large, all white meat chicken breast, roughly 6 – 8 inches long and 1 inch thick. I became full off of one breast, but I had to finish both breasts. it was that moist and delicious.
The pasta was perfectly al dente, soft without being mushy. The roasted red pepper was slightly sweet like a ripe red pepper with slight creaminess to it. The pesto was good, a little on the heavier side with the cream, though. I prefer my pestos to be true oil-​based pestos– basil, pine nuts, Parmesan, olive oil, not pesto cream sauce. However, it was still delightful, enough that my sister got a whole plate of pesto pasta. The tomato cream was lacking in the tomato department– it tasted more of cream than tomato. I loved the pesto pasta the most out of all of the sauces. I wish we had several lighter sauces to try though. The pasta picked up the wonderful flavors of each of the sauces.
The focaccia bread, corn chutney and mista salad were really good as well. The focaccia bread was warm and garlicy with a nice, fresh-​baked smell to them. I’m usually a fan of crostini crunchy type bread crackers, but the bread went really well with the pasta sauces. ahhh sooo good :) The corn chutney had sweet corn kernels in a savory mixture– it was so refreshing, delicious, light, yet satisfying. The salad was freshly cut, washed and crispy. They also have this honey balsamic salad dressing that’s tangy and sweet that I loved on top of the salad.
The delivery service was slow and arrived roughly 15 – 20 minutes later than when they were suppose to. The food was well worth the prices– it’s roughly 30 large pieces of white meat chicken breast for 50.00 (full pan). They also have full pans of pasta for 55.00, sauce included. However, it was worth it for the food. I want to try their sea bass, beef tenderloin, and scallops on their catering menu too! I’m trying to persuade my mom to use the same company for a family function coming up soon! :)
