  • I was a regular at Contes when I lived down the street from the original location. I refer any and everyone who is looking for Italian as they make the best in Cleveland in my opinion. When I found out they relocated to Front Row I immediately planned to make a trip across town to enjoy one of my favorite meals. I called ahead and they insisted that it was the same exact food that was served at the original location. When seated I didn't even need a menu because I knew I wanted the Fettuccine Alfredo add chicken. Contes has never been inexpensive so I didn't expect it to be inexpensive here either despite the bar setting. However it was a surprising $13 which was a bit cheaper than Contes if I remember correctly. I received my salad accompanied by a tiny premade toasted dinner roll. Anyone who frequents Contes knows that the bread is always freshly made but I let it fly. The salad was different as well because the original Contes salad never came with cheese let alone two types. And the dressing taste like normal Italian which must have also been premade. I suspect things may have changed a little because after all this is just a small bar and no longer the authentic little Italian restaurant I used to frequent. It took a while to come out which didn't bother me either because I know it takes time to make such a good meal. I used to watch the owner prepared the meal straight from her kitchen therefore the wait never bothered me. Anywho when I received my pasta my boyfriend immediately asked was it a lunch portion and I thought the same but decided not to complain. The noodles were linguini and not fettuccine but that didn't bother me either. Another change was the fact that the chicken was cut into small square pieces and they were beyond dry. I'm used to a very moist whole piece of chicken or two. The worse part was the fact that the noodles way undercooked and clumped together. The alfredo sauce didn't even taste the same and there were no roasted garlic cloves. Because I respect the food Contes has produced in the past I decided not to picture the food because it was just that bad. I tried to eat it but I just couldn't so I told the waiter (who by the way was very nice). She insisted that it was the original Conte family in the back preparing the food and that she would have it fixed. However, I was totally turned off and declined. I really miss Contes and I hope that one day they return in a different location and serve the same home cooked meals they once produced. I enjoyed going there after a long day at work and enjoying a great meal accompanied by good customer service from the family.
