| - Talk about a diamond in the rough! I can't believe there aren't more reviews for this very authentic Italian restaurant del sud. My Italian immigrant family and I are all enamored with this place, and I would consider it to be one of the top 3 Italian places in Cleveland, hands down.
For instance, my Nonna and I came here for takeout today, as we were both craving seafood risotto but were short on time. At 20$ for a generous dinner portion teeming with squid, shrimp, mussels and clams, as well as delicious salad and freshly baked pillowy ciabatta, this is a bargain. And the taste is heavenly. By the time we came home, the food was still piping hot. The arborio is perfectly cooked, with a delicious herby sauce emitted during the cooking process, and finished with fresh tomato, onion and parsley. The flavors are just spot on-bold but not overpowering, with tender seafoods, and finished with just the perfect amount of parmigiano, king of cheeses. Enjoyed with a crisp pinot grigio, this is one of the best meals I have ever had that I could easily muse about for years to come. I just can't say enough about this lovely place for those of you who are looking for a warm environment to enjoy an impeccable dinner with lovely family service when I have dined in. Worth it every time.
Hopefully they will add some rabbit onto the menu as an exchange for this glowing review ;)
