“ One of my favorite places in Cleveland. Authentic food and people from Italy. Make a reservation. ”
“ Dee-licious and very cozy place! Suggest you make reservations ahead of time because it’s a small dining area. Servers were friendly. Fave place so far in Little Italy. ”
“ Our server and everyone there was very professional, courteous, and kind. The food was absolutely delicious! Loved the meal, which was a Chef's specialty of Cod with lemon & capers, asparagus, and roasted potatoes! The salad was delicious too with baby spinach added to the mixed greens and artichoke hearts; and loved their homemade balsamic dressing! The homemade tiramisu was delicious also! My husband loved his Pasta Bolognese & Chocolate Hazelnut Gelato too. Would highly recommend for deliciously prepared Italian cuisine and beautiful ambience. Thank you for giving us a very relaxing evening. Grazie ”

“ Impeccably-prepared food. Great service. A gem on the hill and a cut above most. Reserve early- they get busy fast! ”
“ One of the only places in little Italy with a real Italian owner, and you can tell. Authentic Italian food like I’ve never had before. You have to try this place at least once. ”
“ The four of us were very impressed with the menu selections. My squid ink pasta with shrimp was wonderful. My choice of lemon sorbet turned out to be an elegant surprise! A hollowed out lemon was packed with the sorbet! Lovely presentation. This tiny ristorante is well worth a visit! ”
“ Definitely a Friday night. They were slammed. The fish special was cooked to perfection. Don't be fooled by the size, they only seat about 40 or 45. Many great things come in small packages... If you are in the area of Little Italy in Cleveland, Ohio, do not miss this little gem! ”
