Happy New Year to all ! After a month of holiday obligations and festivities that made it necessary for Mr. Z and I to forego our regular Tuesday Night adventure….we’re finally back and ready. We hope that you are too. Our first adventure in this new year took us way out to Cibo in ChagrinFalls. As we are […]
While this was not the type of place we were expecting; it was good nonetheless. Their ad conjures up ideas of an old-world, family-type Italian restaurant; however, while it was lovely inside, we found it to be very modern and more ‘art-deco’ than old-world Italian. Since our visit was on a Tuesday night, no reservations […]
FINALLY…I think we may have found a winner with D.C. Pasta Co.!! Everything that has been in this location over the past several years just seemed destined to fail with the closing of LeVolte Grille, Portofino’s, and most recently Palate’s (I may have missed a few in there); however D.C. Pasta Co. (getting it’s name from well-known […]
Located in the heart of Cleveland’s “Little Italy” neighborhood at 12200 Mayfield Road; this was truly a great find! Aside from the phenomenal menu (a very cool mix of Albanian, Italian and Mediterranean selections), the recently-renovated interior is absolutely gorgeous! We, however, took advantage of the lovely weather and sat outside at a table that was surprisingly comfortable, as most […]
Akron never fails to amaze with it’s wide variety of really interesting restaurants, and this was definitely a “find”. Located right across the street from the Akron Museum of Art, one would never have guessed that behind an unassuming storefront, was this neat little art-deco type place. Much larger inside than it appeared from the […]
Wow, when we finally found this place, we weren’t sure it was safe to park the car in front. It’s located in what looked like an abandoned warehouse/industrial area, but once inside we were pleasantly surprised to see that not only was it still in business, but the side that we sat on looked recently remodeled. […]
A very non-descript little family-owned (and run) Italian place. Completely empty, even for a weeknight and except for a few takeout orders, not sure how they survive. The service (one young girl) was okay, but the food was as non-descript as the restaurant was. Very bland sauce and WAY overcooked eggplant. Would have no reason […]
What a find! This place was billed as a bar and grill and turned out to have some pretty outstanding Italian food. A huge piece of lasagna and a “small” calzone were shared and both were delicious. Just the right amount of really good sauce and LOTS of cheese (always the key to making anything […]
Little Italian place that’s been around as long as we’ve been in Cleveland, but oddly, we’ve never been there . The food was OK, although the sauce was a little sweet. Service was OK – not one of those places we MUST re-visit!
A mediocre little mom & pop Italian restaurant. Unexpectedly nice inside considering the area. Clean and good service with a really extensive menu; but a bit too pricey considering the quality and portions. One of the our entrees was veal rolled around prociutto and ricotta at just a little under $20. The veal tasted like […]
