| - The food and ambiance at Felice is amazing. I came here after my medical residency graduation for dinner with family. When you enter the restaurant, it felt like you were invited into someone's home for dinner and the patio in the front just added to the ambiance on a perfect Cleveland spring evening.
We started out with the goat cheese appetizer, which was absolutely delicious. The acidity of the red sauce that surrounded the ball of goat cheese helped cut through the goat cheese. We also ordered the fried calamari, which although was not the best I have ever had, was great. Finally, the baby back ribs were the all star - they were perfectly cooked and the meat just fell off the bone. Although I know that BBQ aficionados may not consider it "real BBQ," it was absolutely perfect.
Because it was a special occasion, we ordered the bananas foster for dessert. It came with a huge scoop of vanilla ice cream, and the bananas were perfectly cooked, incorporated into a creme brulee. It was a wonderful end to a great meal.
Also, the drinks are SO strong. I ordered an Old Fashioned while my mother ordered a margarita, and we were taken aback at how much alcohol was in it. They definitely don't skimp on alcohol here.
Felice Urban Cafe is a wonderful establishment and one can tell the preparation that goes into each dish. I would totally visit again.
