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.

About the restaurant

The original Johnny's serving fine Northern Italian Cusine. Opening in the 1920’s as Louise’s Garden, a restaurant that would flourish into the most reputable dining establishment in Cleveland. Renamed Johnny’s Bar in 1952, this neighborhood eatery located on Fulton Road serves authentic Italian food in an inviting atmosphere with private dining and patio dining available weather permitting.

Fairlawn

About the restaurant

Classic American food with flare. Burntwood Tavern's warm and inviting atmosphere is rich in character, and provides the perfect showcase for its straight forward, chef driven menu of smoked, planked, and wood grilled food. Handcrafted cocktails, constructed with fresh juices and house-infused vodkas, as well as offerings from a diverse craft draught beer list. If you're looking for a heavy pour, you've found your place!

Very nice atmosphere. We were seated promptly. Our server, Deb, was outstanding and a sweetheart. She was attentive, funny, and conversational, without ever being overbearing. Everything a server should be! I ordered a smoked Old Fashioned, and she ever did the smoking of the drink at our table so the smoke would not dissipate on the trip from the bar to the table! Food was excellently prepared and plentiful. All in all a great night out. Thanks Deb!

Lucca

Canton

About the restaurant

In Italy, Lucca is a region known for beauty and old world charm. In Canton, Lucca bottles that same old world charm, small restaurant community and brings it to you. Using only fresh ingredients, quality service and a dedication to authenticity, Lucca serves �la dolce vita� or �the good life.� Similar to the Tuscan restaurants that inspire Lucca, locally sourced ingredients go into all of the dishes. Along with a full bar, sit down to try the hand made pasta, Prime steak, seafood overnighted from Hawaii or the local double boned pork chop. Be sure to ask your server about the dessert of the day which is always a gourmet treat.
