We ended up here due to an inability to get reservations at another Italian place in Rocky River. I went in with low expectations, since there are so many meh Italian restaurants around Cleveland. While taking our drinks, our waiter, after ascertaining that this was our first time, said, "Welcome to the best food on the west side!" Yeah yeah, bro. What else would you say?
Well, I was pleasantly surprised. Everything about our experience was exceptional. The service was spot-on. The food was excellent (we were a 4-top and everyone loved their entrees). We had reservations, and were shown right to our table on arrival (Friday night, 6pm). The pricing may have been a tad high, but I'm not complaining, as everything was prepared so well. I see us coming back here frequently.
