    Fabulous as always. Melon & Prosciutto, house salad, Gnocchi, Veal with mushrooms all wonderful. George on the piano created the best ambiance.

    We were in Cleveland to see the symphony and made last minute reservations at Valerio's in Little Italy which is super close to Severance Hall. We were seated promptly and Michael, our server, was a delight. He took excellent care of us, rattled off the specials, and made great recommendations. We ordered the swordfish and the lamb shank and both were amazing. The swordfish was perfectly grilled and delicious. The lamb shank was very tender, falling off the bone, with gravy that was to die for. Both were reasonably priced and less than what we expected to pay. We will definitely go back.

    We were seated promptly in spite of it being a busy night. Salvatore, our waiter, was excellent. The drinks and food were served in a reasonable period of time. Most importantly, the food was excellent. We will definitely be back.

    We had a fabulous meal on Friday evening. From the moment we arrived, our reservation was honored, and we were seated. Our waitress was terrific. She could tell us about every special, which were many, without any paper in front of her. Then our food arrived, and everything was delicious. It was one of the best meals I have had in Cleveland, and I will return soon!

    The food, ambiance, and service was exceptional. There was only one item that was sub par and needs to be addressed to have a remarkable experience. By arriving to a virtually nonexistent valet, the evening started off on the wrong foot. Fortunately, the rest of the evening made up for this. Because of the parking situation, I'd be hesitant to return on a busy night.

    Excellent experience at Valerio's. Food was fantastic. Veal Osso Bucco was expensive but delicious with a capital D. The appetizer of buffalo mozzarella with marinated cherry tomatoes was very good and a nice change from just sliced tomatoes. Tables are pretty close together. Se,vice was excellent. Highly recommend. We will return.
