For their 4th day open, it was lovely. The food and pricing are great, however they are still ironing out kinks in the kitchen and bar service timing. Looking forward to the patio opening and dining on a less busy evening.

Saw this place on social media and decided to give it a try. The place looked amazing, however when I arrived and was greeted at the podium, the hostess wanted to seat me at the bar area on a high top, thinking, “What’s the point of my reservation?” I could have walked in and sat there. Once seated in another area, it took 10 mins for a server to show up to our table. Either they were busy or short-staffed. And it wasn’t busy. My server was very nice, but the service was very slow. Wife ordered a drink and we ordered some appetizers. Got the fresh mozzarella salad and bruschetta. The tomatoes were thinly sliced. I could have made one at home and saved $15.99. It was disappointing. I asked for balsamic vinegar and got balsamic glaze. Smh! For entrees, the pasta dishes were very good. But be careful when you order the mushroom raviolis. It’s not mushrooms inside the ravioli but rather some type of seafood. My guess is salmon. Server didn’t know. It was topped off with bits of mushrooms. Decided on the tiramisu and it was very good. When I made the reservations via OpenTable, I indicated it was my wife’s birthday celebration. Not one person acknowledged this which was very disappointing. Will I be back? Absolutely NOT! If I’m going to summarize my experience overall, it was average at best. I should have taken my wife somewhere that at least acknowledges birthdays. Good luck with the new restaurant and I highly suggest taking care of your customers. Otherwise, you won’t be in business very long.

This was our second visit and again, everything was great. We loved the traditional calamari appetizer with the olives, capers and fire roasted tomatoes. The meatball appetizer was enough for two and it was perfectly cooked with a fantastic red sauce. All our entrees were very authentic and delicious too. The bolognese is my favorite but the chicken parm is a close second. The pizza dough is light and tasty. The homemade Cannoli with Pistachios was unbelievable. We should have ordered take home cannoli's because we were craving them the next day! The atmosphere was lively and fun. Can't wait to try the other entrees soon. What a GEM, We are lucky to have such a nice and authentic italian restaurant in Strongsville.
