Having moved from NYC, Cleveland Italian restaurants have a lot to live up to. This place was awesome though! I am currently eating my leftovers for breakfast. I am really not understanding the negative reviews. I think midwesterns have a strange expectation of what Italian food and pizza should taste like....that it shouldnt taste like real Italian food and pizza. This is the real deal though. Everything i have ever ordered from here is fresh, all the sauces are killer and it reminds me of some of my old favorite Italian places in Brooklyn. As for the person who said it was too loud...um its an Italian restaurant with a bar! If I ever walked into an Italian place that was quiet I would walk out. Again, this is another what I consider strange expectation of what midwesterners want in a dining experience, silence. How weird and boring! I dont even drink and I dont mind noise from the bar there. And as for the reviewer who said it was expensive.....My husband and I ordered 2 appetizers, a salad, 2 main dishes a soda and a beer and it was like 50 bucks. Maybe Mcdonalds is more in that persons price range.
