    Enjoyed good cocktails at the bar. Bartender was engaging and pleasant. Cocktails were good. Live music at the end of the bar was nice and set an ambiance for the place. Spacious tables around the bar and had some outside seating. Tried the calamari. Might have caught the kitchen on an off night. Lacked flavor and was dried out. Wouldn't recommend. May be a great place for a nice cocktail but the neighborhood has better food options for dinner.

    I love this restaurant! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was outstanding. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The angel hair pasta was my favorite--perfectly cooked and full of flavor. A wonderful dining experience with great food, great service, and a great atmosphere. I will definitely be back!

    Buttered Kids Spaghetti

    Of all the potentially fabulous restaurants to choose from in Little Italy, we elected to try Agostino's for two reasons. The first being the menu selections of things we wanted and, two they had a kids menu published. Overall, the food and drinks were very good and would highly recommend going there. The place had a warm and inviting atmosphere. The server was very knowledgeable of the menu offerings and had lots of suggestions. The taste and quality of the food was outstanding. Specifically, our plan was to have some drinks, followed by enjoying items off a Charcuterie board. We would then like to enjoy some Mussels Marinara and Clams Giuseppe. When ordering the server suggest the Bread Service, which we really did not want, but convinced us to change our minds. It did not disappoint and worth every penny. After the shellfish appetizers we were going to sample the Burrata Salad. Then finally try the Eggplant Parmesan. Our granddaughter ordered her usual Chicken Strips. However, there were several disappointments: #1- The wine the wife wanted, while listed on the wine menu, was no longer served there. Oh well. #2- I requested that we would like to have our order come out of the kitchen in a specific sequence so we could enjoy the meal at our pace and not feel rushed. (Please keeping in mind that there were only one or two other tables being served and they were not busy at 4:30). We wanted to relax, enjoy our drinks and chat then enjoy our food. I thought that was a simple and reasonable request, but did not turn that way. We felt rushed, and our request ignored, as if to get us on our way before the place filled up. There were still not very many tables seated as we left which left us wondering why the big rush. Our money is as green as everyone else's. #3 - The first thing(s) served up were the Mussels, Charcuterie Board, the Chicken Strips (which we asked to be served to accommodate our granddaughter ASAP), and shortly thereafter, the Bread service. A large quantity of food all at once and no time to enjoy, just eat. Wait too long and the Mussels get cold. In a nut shell our requested service sequence was ignored. #4 - It would have been nice to know, up front (in the menu or be told) that the kids Chicken Strips are served with a side vegetable and not fries, potato or rice, or even a small side of pasta. Most six years olds are not into eating asparagus. The server offered the Buttered Kids Spaghetti. One of our granddaughter's favorites. Unfortunately, is was already sprinkled with cheese which is not one of her favorites. I would suggest that the sprinkle cheese be in a vessel on the side or be told about it in advance. It should be noted that the chicken and asparagus we sampled was very good along with the buttered spaghetti, just not how she likes to have it. We did not have an issue for being charged for both kid's meals, but somewhat surprised. No worries. It is what it is. #5 - The Charcuterie Board was plentiful and delicious but did not contain all of the items described in the menu. Specifically, it lacked roasted red peppers and Capicola (pepperoni fill-in) and very few mixed imported olives. #6 - I ordered Mussels Marinara and received Mussels in white wine sauce. The pretty web site menu picture of the offering is a little bit different then what I got as far as quantity, and six of the quantity that I received were not open. The house made good on replacing the bad mussels and a few extra. Thank you for doing that. The last thing to come out of the kitchen were the Clams Giuseppe after somewhat of a delay considering how quickly the other food was put on our table. They were very good. Shortly thereafter, the owner, I believe came to the table to check on us, and we complimented him on the food. We don't normally complain or cause a scene in front of other customers. We are just the customer that does not come back if it's not what we expected. We were then asked if we were ready for the Burrata Salad and place our order for the Eggplant Parm at which point we cancelled the remain ordered items. We would have loved to try those items but had the feeling that we needed to eat and leave. Our granddaughter was very well behaved and remained busy coloring while waiting and during the meal. We declined the offer of considering a dessert but we were told that there was a great Gelato shop across the street. Wow! She was correct. We enjoyed some gelato across the street. Once again the food was outstanding and would highly recommend this place, it just did not meet our expectations of customer requested serving accommodations and what is shown in the menu (or lack of a description) versus what was served. It is extremely important that no matter where you choose to dine in Little Italy you arrive as soon as the restaurant opens or shortly thereafter. We attempted to eat at any available restaurant there on Monday evening around 7pm and every place was packed and no place to park.

    Calamari
    Kimberly N.

    We had a party of 20 today for lunch. I had never eaten here before. The atmosphere was upscale, yet casual. The restaurant is located in Little Italy and we had a van bus driver so thankfully we didn't have to look for parking. The entire area is very charming and nostalgic. The restaurant is very clean and the staff was great. We felt welcomed and were seated right away. The service was excellent and food came out quickly for a party of 20. I started with the bread which was fresh baked and some of the best I have had. It was served with an olive medley and balsamic drizzled on the plate with olive oil. Absolutely delicious! We next had the calamari and it was excellent. Very light and cooked perfectly. The marinara sauce was great with it. I also had the mussels with red sauce and the lobster ravioli. It was the best meal I have had in a long while. The seafood cream sauce was delicious. I will definitely come here again

    Agostino's Famous Calamari
    Amy J.

    Lovely new airy open place in Little Italy next to Corbo's. Tasty fried calamari, tasty mozzarella wedges. Loved the garlic bread which came with three pieces covered in tomato sauce and overtop was a slice of cheese. So much garlic they were spicy. The cavatelli bolognese portion was huge with piping hot pasta amongst a meaty sauce with lots of flavor.

    rubbery microwaved Chicken Marsala
    Jessica C.

    I just ordered this place on doordash today and I am wildly disappointed. $32 for the chicken marsala and they give me one small piece of chicken that was 100% microwaved. I can tell by the flavor when chicken has been microwaved, and it also has the rubbery and tough texture. I've gotten this same meal once in the past for delivery, and that time it was twice the size and the chicken tasted fresh and delicious -- the two large pieces of chicken, i should add. Today, the $8 kids meal I also ordered had more food than the $32 entree. I don't know what happened with my order this time around, but after today's experience I will absolutely not be returning.

    Glass of Riesling and espresso martini
    Taylor S.

    I came here last night with a good friend and we had a great time! The ambiance is nice and there was live music. We sat at the bar to get a few apps and drinks which we really enjoyed! Also the service was phenomenal!! Every staff member we crossed paths with was so friendly and they also let us try a slice of espresso cake one of their chefs had made. I will be back! Thank you for a lovely evening :) and BIG shoutout to the lady working behind the bar (on 1/16/26). We loved you!

    Lemon drop martini and lemoncello spritz

    The food and service was absolutely incredible!! We were served by Shane and he was able to accommodate any requests we had. We ordered the garlic bread, calamari, and arancini as appetizers (we're appetizer people!), and ordered the scampi risotto, gnocchi vodka blush sauce, and the rigatoni and meatballs as our entrees. It was a beautiful day so we sat outside and both the exterior and interior of the restaurant are beautiful! We also ordered drinks - lemoncello spritz and lemon drop martini- and they were so refreshing! We will definitely be back!!

    Was in town for the first time in a few years and this place caught my eye since it was newer to the Little Italy area. Went in and we were promptly seated and our server, Shane, took excellent care of us. We tried the meatballs, house salad, lobster Ravioli, and tiramisu. All were delicious. Would definitely come back in the future!

    Eight (!) years ago my friend recommended her favorite place - The Fairmount. She emphasized that…read morethe ambiance and cocktails are something to experience. Eight years worth of Fairmount moments later, this review is well overdue. AMBIANCE: The ambiance allows you to slow down and enjoy your company. The restaurant is dim lit, has fireplaces, and loungey atmosphere. It somehow feels warm and I heard a lot of people refer to it as a second home (people are always so friendly here!). There is ample space - three bars, main dining space, and huge outdoor oasis bar. Nestled in Cedar Fairmount neighborhood, you'll also be able to enjoy historic neighborhood. There are seating arrangements if you're craving company or want to enjoy your date. Seating options include couches by the fireplace, tables, and high tops. Fairmount is delightful during every season. During the summer you can enjoy the bar and patio. In the winter you can dine at the igloos. I prefer all seasons here. FOOD/DRINKS: The menu at Fairmount is impressive and has exciting seasonal/weekly additions. You'll never get bored. The cocktails here are refined, very boozy, and very well crafted. The food is seriously delicious, and consistent every single time. I've been impressed with every dish. The dishes and drinks frequently follow the seasons. During my latest visit I enjoyed Butter Pecan Warm Cider with bourbon ($12, so bold and boozy, tastes like fall). I also ordered Fig Trouble Little China ($15, a more rich version of Old Fashioned, so delicious). I also tasted Short Rib & Risotto for the very first time ($28, such a delicious dish, every bite was just amazing). My favorites? Ah, so hard! I'll go with the Fairmount Burger! It's angus beef burger with bacon-fig chutney. It's so delicious! I can't even be serious about meat at the other burger places, this is easily the best burger in the city. My seasonal favorite? Kevin McCallister seasonal drink that resembles coquito or eggnog. The drink is topped with rice paper that includes the design of Kevin from Home Alone. It's such a fun tradition! I look forward to this drink all year and always tell the world about it! SERVICE: The service is excellent. I haven't been anywhere where service is right on point every single time. Everyone is nice - the owner, hosts, and waitstaff. You truly feel seen and like the most important guest. I've visited previously while on dates and frequently dine here solo, always had the most pleasant service. EVENTS: Many people book events here for their non-profits or companies. As far as individual events, Fairmount hosts a fun NYE party every year! PARKING: Onsite parking lot is available at the back of the building. You can enter through the front doors on Cedar or right through the parking lot door. There are numerous reasons why I love the Fairmount. I consider it to be the best dining experience in the Cedar Fairmount neighborhood of Cleveland Heights. I also love how the owner Jake is very engaged in the community and is incredibly friendly with the surrounding business owners. I'll choose this place again and again for calming ambiance, crafted cocktails, and delicious food. To many more years of Fairmount and at Fairmount!

It's like a wine shop meets date spot. I've been here multiple times over the years for dates, solo evenings, and Cleveland Heights Neighborhood Beer Crawl. Wine Spot was a nice backdrop for all these days. INVENTORY: You'll find an entire long wall of various wines organized by the type of wine. You'll find Dom Perignon and wines under $35 coexisting in the same space. You'll also find beers, THC drinks, sake, and a lot more. You'll also find so much beyond wine - sardines, chocolate, and gift baskets. It's an ideal location to shop for gifts and build a basket. I don't have any particular recommendations. I usually ask staff for recommendations and gravitate toward white wines. Except during CLE Beer week I tried two different beers here - Executive Decision by the Butcher and the Brewer, Yakima Chief Forward from Fat Heads Brewery. AMBIANCE: Market vibes with tables and bar available for guests. The ambiance is nice, casual, quiet enough for a date. There is a lot of space for groups including a private room. SERVICE: Service is pretty friendly but tends to be slower. What I love about here is that they can chill wine bottles upon purchase. You can immediately go home with a chilled bottle of wine and get into your evening. Aside from this reason, there are plenty to do at the winery - events, monthly wine club, and more. Long story short, visit!

I followed the rules -- their rules -- to the letter. I showed up on time. The hostess greeted me with an offer of the bar or a high top. I reminded her of my reservation and its stated requirements. What followed was not an apology, not a solution, not even an acknowledgment that a commitment had been made and broken. What followed was the punishment table -- the one tucked by the front door, the one that gets a gust of cold air every time it opens, the one they keep in reserve for walk-ins who couldn't be bothered to plan ahead. That table was my reward for planning ahead. The food is good. The service staff is attentive and professional. They are not the problem. The problem lives at the front of the house, where someone decided that a confirmed reservation with documented preferences was merely a suggestion -- and that a guest who politely insisted otherwise deserved to be seated accordingly. This is not a mistake. A mistake is forgetting to note a preference. What happened here was a choice -- to ignore the request, and then to seat me in a manner that made the power dynamic unmistakably clear. I was being told, without a word being spoken, that my preferences were an inconvenience. I won't be back. Not because of the food. Not because of the servers who do their jobs with grace. But because a restaurant that treats a reservation as an obligation only when it's convenient has made its values plain.
