My partner took me here for my birthday celebration, and It's truly one of the best restaurants I've been to in Cleveland. It has a romantic classic Hollywood flare I could imagine Marilyn Monroe dinning at. Italian art on plush fabric walls. Mood lighting to make anyone look good especially wearing something fancy and polished. Not sure if there is a dress code but this is not the place for t-shirts and jeans. Make it classy.The food was delicious, fast ,and hot on the plate. Service was warm, welcoming, friendly, and we just had a good time. They have very punctual and attractive staff who always checked in and took their time to make sure we were satisfied.We made reservations at 6 pm, on a Saturday, walking in they were not crowded so we got seated right away. By they time we left, they really picked up a crowd with couples celebrating and a few large groups. Still was not terribly busy but lively.Starting with risotto balls which were creamy, chessy, and crispy outside. Flavor was fantastic and came with an amazing pesto and house tomato sauce.Then, I had a caprese salad that was so fresh and refreshing. Excellent for starting the rack of lamb. The lamb was grilled to perfection being tender, juicy, and robust. I melted on the first bite. My partner had Mushroom Marsala with brown butter pasta. Yummy! Pasta was perfect and sauce had cream to balance the tartness.Last, I finished with cheese cake with fruit. It was light, sweet, and hit the spot.This was a great experience and I absolutely recommend and look forward to going again. The charm and comfort is enchanting so bring someone you want close to you.The only thing is the price point is a bit high so this will be a special occasion destination. I do think the food and service was worth it. If you want to impress than come here.Location is good with lots of parking options. Just be careful on Progressive's Field event as parking might be limited.Parking: Street Parking free on weekends. Garages are over $10 for a hour than increase every 15min $3-$4/hr.
