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!!

I had an amazing time there.
Mo, the bartender is an interesting interlocutor and great listener.
I was sitting on the bar, so I asked him for recommendations for the main dish and for food and drink pairing.
The music was classical and jazz music which complemented the environment of the place and made the evening pass with ease.
The food was amazing!
It wasn’t cheap, but the taste and overall experience are worth the money.

This restaurant is all about the specials! Great standard menu but daily specials consist of several different apps, pastas, and entrees.
Make a reservation because it’s small, popular, and you won’t get a table walking in on a weekend. Busy, service was slow to start but fine after ordering. We were seated near big party so it was loud and hard to have a conversation, but we’ll be back for sure. Stroll around before or after and take in all of Little Italy’s charm!

Best tortellini I’ve ever had, hands down the best dish in little Italy. Also the gnocchi tasted like if heavens clouds were made of cheese. I could try to describe the tortellini but there are no words that could do it justice. The ambience was the epitome of Cleveland’s little Italy with a large table in the back of Italian men lounging with their wine. That really added to the authenticity of the experience. We went closer to closing time and saw who I presume was the chef make is celebrity exit from the kitchen. It seemed like he knew everyone since he hugged and shook hands with half of the restaurant. It was spectacle. 10/10 experience.

Really wonderful vibe. Service was great- steered us well with portions and item proportions. We ordered all specials of the day and were satisfied with each one. I hella judge restaurants by how they treat their rice rice, risotto at the base of the veal shank was perfect.

This is largely not true Italian fare. But it is a literal perfect example of Italian American fare at its finest. Prosciutto e Melone, Bresaola, pasta with red sauce, the classics are all here. The secret that takes this place to a 4-4.5 is the extensive specials list. It is nearly an entire other (and more interesting) menu! If you are looking for a special occasion to celebrate homemade Italian American food, this is your spot. The service we had was truly top notch as well. Try it out!

Tonight was a bit of a disappointment . Ate here a couple of times before. Service was TOO attentive (yes…. TOO attentive) Felt like someone was always reaching over us or taking plates too fast. Very disruptive. One busser actually grabbed dirty silverware by the handful . ICK. . Very busy with staff in walkway near our table . Felt like a revolving door walking past us. Food was good …. but only good. Quite a let down from past visits. All pasta was a bit over cooked. And the 32oz ribeye was tough and CUT WRONG… against the grain the knives barely went trough it. Lemon chicken on the verge of under cooked. We would come again….. maybe an off night.

Made a reservation with some friends. Knew it was gonna be busy, but wowwww. Definitely an intimate place but gives it personality for sure. Food was pretty good, but a little overpriced for what you get. Our appetizer was very good. I got the mushroom ravioli, tasted great but was missing something and didn’t feel I got as much as the other entrees. Mushrooms were perfect though. My own friend got the squid ink pasta which tasted great, so definitely get that if you’re into seafood. I saw another review that complained about the overwhelming smell of flowery cleaner, which I can agree with. Smells akin to an Airbnb lol and not a restaurant. Service was good though. Very helpful, patient and quick. Make sure you get a reservation! Place gets busy for dinner quick!
