Hands down one of the top Italian restaurants in the Cleveland area. In my opinion it is better than any establishment on Murray Hill. This is my first review of Pranzo, but I have now been 3 times. Each time the experience has been more enjoyable.
The restaurant is somewhat cramped, but don't let that steer you away. They don't sell alcohol, so it is bring your own booze! We always bring a bottle or two of our favorite wine.
As for starters, I have had the bruschetta and meatballs. The bruschetta was out of this world fresh. Others use a spread, this is all fresh tomatoes and basil. The meatballs were cooked perfectly and were soft on the inside. I hate when places overcook them or make them to dense. Its about the meat, not the bread crumbs!
The main courses are unique and most offer fresh cooked pasta.
Overall, a great local place that has excellent food and is the exact atmosphere I have been looking for.
