I don't make it out to little italy often but I have been to this gem twice now. Tucked away in little Italy, you will truly fine nothing less than authentic Italian cuisine here.
The inside is tiny but cozy, not the most romantic atmosphere but still enjoyable because it's so small. The first time we came here the server had a little accident and spilled four sangrias all over our table and us. We laughed it off because it was his first week and assured him we would be back. When we came back last night, guess who was our server and who remembered us? The charming funny sangria spiller! He truly was awesome and I hope he waits on us again, despite the first mishap. After a few laughs we quickly ordered more sangria ( haha) and the best calamari in cleveland.
Seriously this calamari kicks ass. It taste so fresh and is ever so lightly fried and sits atop a sauce a want to bathe in. Us four girls split the cavitelli and meatballs, chicken piccata and the shrimp scampi special. The meatballs were fabulous like they always are (we ordered double) but the shrimp scampi was the standout. The piccata was forgettable but still okay. We finished off our meal by splitting two cannolis (two come in an order) and it was the perfect sweet ending to the meal, do not miss these!
The only reasons I can't give five stars is because of the atmosphere and the price. I know that it's little Italy but for a round of sangria, calamari, three pasta dishes we easily dropped $150. Nonetheless, I know I won't be able to stay away.
