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 outside seating is not. By our standards, they were quite busy for a Tuesday night. Our host / server, Mark, was amazing! Not only was he knowledgeable about the history of the place, he knew every menu item by heart, how it was prepared and based on what we told him we were in the mood for; whether or not we’d like certain items! He was right on the money every time! The shrimp saganaki appetizer, though a little spicy, was delicious. The caesar salad was fresh and tasty but a little on the bland side. Though we didn’t get overly-creative with our entree choices and opted to stick with a couple of the Italian choices; the sauce was very good and everything was prepared and delivered fresh and piping hot! Overall, this was a definite winner and many ‘thumbs up’!!!
