I was excited to see a craft beer bar pop up in Little Italy. The East side of Cleveland is sorely lacking in places with a good beer list and good food. Sadly, TOLI is no exception.
The beer list was meh by craft standards - nothing special on the tap list (8 IPAs), but not too bad.
I had mussels in white wine. The white wine they used tasted like it had been opened the previous week and left to "age" on top of the stove. It resulted in a bitter and acrid broth. In the plus column, all of the mussels were open.
My wife and I shared the aranchini - which is to say, we both didn't eat them. They were large, cold balls of rice that were barely deep fried.
She got the Devils on Horseback flatbread, which she remarked, was "okay".
Another bad Italian-lite Little Italy over-priced meal. At least we got lucky with parking.
The highlight is the outside seating.
