Full disclaimer; my wife and I are fine dining servers at a very popular Cleveland restaurant, therefore we tend to be pretty naturally critical when we dine out. If we don't really enjoy the experience we keep it to ourselves and move on, but once in awhile we enjoy our experience so much it warrants a review... This place is absolutely fantastic. Awesome ambiance, great service, and of course amazing food. The gorgonzola gniocchi is ridiculously good. Insalata ai funghi is amazing. Chicken cacciatoria is the bomb. I haven't had anything here I don't like, and we we're also well taken care of. My only critique is pairing down the specials. Don't have your servers relay another full-on menu to the guest. We won't remember it, and it's awkward to have a server stand at the table to rattle off 15 specials. Just put them on the menu if that's how it be. Otherwise, this place is delightful!

We have come to Little Italy for years and for some reason, have never been here? Big mistake! This was an amazing experience! Our server was Salvatore and while he was a bit hard to understand, his accent made the experience much better as we had to ask him to clarify some special items. I let him select both of my red wines and they were fantastic. The Buffalo Mozzarella app was delicious. The salads and dressing were great. The bread, awesome and both of our meals were five star as well. Generous portions. We loved the small, intimate space and sound of others talking and sharing this experience. The bar area is very cool as well. Can’t wait to bring friends back and share the experience!

Everything was a 10! Frank gave us top-notch service, everyone was super pleased with their meals. I had the rack of lamb special, which was the second best lamb ever (my son grills up the best)! Drinks were perfectly made, and everyone in the room seemed to be having as good a time as the seven of us. As for price - It’s a bit expensive, but the best things are! Next big family event, this is our first choice!!
