The food was phenomenal. Get the sautéed calamari appetizer. There is SO much calamari for such a great price. Our server Yassine was amazing as well. Super friendly and knowledgeable about everything. Will come again if we have the chance!

It's a busy spot and finding a parking spot is harder than guessing what the weather is going to do in Cleveland but once you've sat down and ordered a drink and food you will fall in love. This place is my mother's favorite spot when she comes to town and we make it a must every time she visits.

The food and service were both top of the line. Everything that came out of the kitchen and bar was delicious.

Amazing food, terrific service from our server, Leah (Leia?) apologies if I spelled your name wrong! We started with an appetizer special, a burrata with roasted cherry tomatoes, pesto, and truffle, and a classic appetizer that is one of their signature dishes, a fabulous eggplant parm. Flavors were terrific and the balance of all dishes perfect. Four dinner selections, two specials, a ragu made with three meats over rigatoni which was nice and spicy too, and a pistachio-crusted halibut over a garlicky, buttery polenta. Polenta was perfect, fish cooked perfectly. Other two had a specialty of the house, Frutta di Mare, a squid ink pasta with yummy seafood, and a veal piccata. Dessert was delicious too--cannoli were practically the best we've had, a solid crème brûlée and same for the tiramisu. Nice wine selection as well, and reasonable wines by the glass. Great ambiance too--very pretty and I loved watching the food prep from where I was sitting. Only thing I would change is offering decaf cappuccino/espresso. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Good Italian. It's already very full at 5:30 pm, so you should reserve in advance!

My first visit to this hidden gem was for our anniversary a month ago, and it was nothing short of spectacular! We were thrilled to discover such a marvelous place. Both the food and the staff exceeded our expectations, creating an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend the trio pasta sampler - each pasta dish was exceptional, leaving us eager to return and explore more of their menu. To our delightful surprise, we were treated to champagne and dessert in celebration of our anniversary, a thoughtful gesture that truly enhanced our special day. Can't wait for our next visit!

The food was absolutely delicious and everyone enjoyed their meals. The appetizer special of pork belly was a beautiful presentation and great flavor along with the meatballs and burrata cheese with tomatoes. Our server, Leah was very attentive and responsive. She made our meal relaxed and enjoyable.Dietary restrictions: Offers gluten free.

Fantastic all around! The tomahawk steak is delicious - enough to share! Some favorites are the stuffed peppers, lamb, cheese tortellini, and a wonderful nightcap of an espresso martini is a must!

I'm a big foodie from NYC and this place is legit. Lobster ravioli, mussels, ribeye. Awesome combo. Visited Case Western with my son and i will come back to this place for sure. The drinks are great too!

This restaurant is way too loud, the wait staff is rude and tries to rush you through your entire dining process. The food had some funky weird spice to it that literally ruined the entire dish. They charge you ala carte for everything, their wait staff struggle to understand substitutions and bring full serving instead of subs and they charge you a credit card fee, which is ridiculous, considering their prices are already high. Absolutely terrible!

Food was by far awesome. Service was decent. We ended up seating at the bar and the gentleman working to prepare deserts was nice and aware. I spilled water and waitress didn't bother to do anything yet he saw and grabbed us another napkin.

Loud, sat by the door (shouldn’t be a table there), food was terrible, and service was rough. Undercooked veal braciole, butternut squash from the scallop dish was hard and overall dish was too salty, and the lobster risotto was also too salty. Sent my veal back and they tell me it’s cooked for hours; which part exactly because it was raw?…Waiter didn’t update me on the veal dish we sent back until we asked. Also asked for an extra serving of bread; didn’t bring it. Some people love this place, but it’s not for my wife and I.
