Best Authentic Restaurants in Lakewood

The table bread had a fantastic crust with an amazing crunch, but the inside of the bread was soft and chewy, and just so delicious. It came with dipping sauce that included roasted garlic, which was to die for. We had the sacchetti as an appetizer and it was just as delicious as the bread. For our meals, we had the Bolognese and the tortellini and both were so delicious. The portion sizes were good, but not ridiculously large. The amount of protein included was generous. The pasta was delightful. For dessert we had the tiramisu and the mousse and both were a spectacular ending to a spectacular meal. The service was perfect, she took the time to chat a little here and there but never hovered. The noise level was a little louder than I’d prefer but not obnoxiously so. We will definitely eat here again. 

It was Valentine’s Day, so we knew it would be crazy busy. We should have requested an indoor table, the covered outdoor area was still chilly and way too packed. Our waitress was very friendly. She forgot my wine, but the experience was still very enjoyable. The food was absolutely amazing! It was pricey, but we knew that going in.

We had a late valentines day booking abd couldnt have enjoyed it more. Just went with the smash burgers and a bottle of wine. Also fried pickle chips were perfect

Always excellent South American food and a great vibe. Feels like a sunny getaway during a dreary Cleveland winter. Staff is super nice and helpful.

We had a lovely birthday dinner for my 92 year old Mother in Law prior to a show on Friday night. The food and the service were stellar. One of my favorite places to dine in Cleveland.
