| - I'd give this place 4 1/4 stars. Food is really good, as service was really good. Dinner entrees are from $18 to $35. Restaurant was clean with a hipster ambiance. The patrons and restaurant were fairly casual, i.e. I would feel uncomfortable wearing a suit here. There were a lot of hard surfaces that reflect sound in the dining area, so it was uncomfortably loud at times even though they weren't supper busy. Our party ordered the veal saltimbocca, wild mushroom pasta, and veal parmesan entrees. The veal saltimbocca was very good (not best ever but better than most). The wild mushroom pasta was very unusual, with bits of what I believe were walnuts mixed into the sauce. The sauce had a very nutty flavor. It was good, but I can't imagine craving to order it again. On side note, it also could be ordered with shrimp or chicken. I just can't picture shrimp complimenting the flavor of the dish; I should have asked the chef about it.. The veal parmesan was standard and as expected. The veal was tender, but there was nothing stand out about the dish. The servers were attentive, and provided great service of the sort one would expect at a restaurant such as Bistro 70. I wouldn't put it on my must go to places when visiting Cleveland, but if your looking for a good restaurant that doesn't have or need a mascot when visiting Painesville, check it out.
