While I didn't grow up in Cleveland, from what I've heard this used to be "the place" for good Italian food. But I think this place has fallen too far behind the times and can't compete with Cleveland's new foodie status. The food was average, definitely not the best but not the worst Italian food I've ever had. The menu is pretty typical, nothing too interesting or fresh with most meal options being on the heavier side. But the décor has to be the worst thing of all, outdated and dingy. I couldn't wait to leave and see some sunshine. Overall, it was an average dining experience with nothing exceptional to bring me back ever again. I'd much rather dine at Carabba's or Brio for good Italian food.
