9 guests & all very happy. While not inexpensive, we all ate like royalty & felt it was worth it. From king Crab legs as a shared starter ( biggest hit) to fish, veal, pasta. Incredible staff, Jerry & bartender Mladen. I’ll keep going back Wish I had remembered to take photos

This is a gem of a restaurant. Great ambience with views of the water and downtown skyscrapers. The Italian food is all made from scratch. The homemade bread that comes out first, alone is worth the trip. I had homemade veal rigatoni with vodka sauce and my husband had scallops over linguini. Both dishes were perfectly done. We had the homemade pistachio and cherry gelato for dessert. I have never experienced gelato that good before!! It was an appropriately priced evening with such good food. The service was also wonderful.

I loved the atmosphere. Our server Emily was top notch. The food was good. It wasn’t special, though the burger, wings and pickles were fabulous. The chicken sandwich and the kraut croquettes were good. In the morning, our server Taylor was tremendous. The avocado & salmon Benedict was very good. I would definitely come back. Thank you, Peirce Johnston

VIP treatment from the staff on a quiet pregame Monday evening was very flattering. Thought I'd only finish half of the Honey Pepperoni pizza but couldn't stop eating it! So good. Thanks for the extra spectacular service!

It was a fantastic meal… From the wonderful starting martinis to the by the glass Amarone to the amazing appetizers like the shrimp and the Barata to one of the best steaks I’ve ever eaten. The atmosphere is also fantastic and the service impeccable.

We went early, around 5PM, so not crowded, parking was easy and we were greeted right away with the choice of where to sit. The server was there quickly, and very efficient and timely with drink and food orders. Everyone enjoyed their meal. My only suggestion would be to have a physical list of the beers available. They had a wine and cocktail menu, but you had to follow a QR code for the beer. Older folk appreciate paper menus. Very enjoyable early evening - I will return.

• Contemporary Latin • Downtown Cleveland
The food and service were excellent. Ambience is great, but the music is a little loud in some areas. The one disappointing aspect was there were only 2 desserts available out of the several that were listed on the menu.
