    This is a place that is near and dear to my husband. His father would frequent this restaurant when the original owner was alive. The current owner did everything he could to understand my food allergies and make me something that I could eat. My husband had the spaghetti with meatball and fried calamari, he was happy. The place is small and quaint. You would be fooled from the outside, it wouldn't seem that there was an actual restaurant inside. I find this a common theme to many of the Italian Restaurants I've visited. They have many great dishes on their menu. It's worth the visit. The owner is super nice and genuinely wants to make your experience a great one.

    Calamari steak special. How about that presentation???

    We have been here multiple times. Usually leaving glowing reviews. Came on a Friday with a party of four. First Friday of Kent so looking for some good seafood choices. They had some great choices. We started with calamari and frog legs. Asked for the app got charged for the dinner. 35 minutes until we saw our first drink and One hour and 10 minutes before we saw an app. I think there was only one waitress and she had a bus girl. The place was only half full (it's not a big place). Our entrees took respectively long as well. Our water got filled quickly where you would wait 20-30 minutes for a drink from the bar. I would NOT recommend seafood here. It was all just ok. Definitely not deserving the price tag. All taste fine but didn't look like $40 plates or taste like them. In closing, four people, bottle of wine, two apps, four dinners, one bourbon, three deserts and an espresso $360 before tip. No itemized receipt and no signature required?? It will be a while before we go back to Aldo's sadly. I'll stick with my eggplant parm.

    Food was good. Service was good. However, saw the MAGA hat and flag. Won't be back. I cannot support a business that supports a cult.

    Definetly one of the finer Italian restaurant's in Cleveland…read more The food is exceptional and the portions are extremely generous. The owner/chef Rafael Zaloshnja is very talented and friendly, and he loves to cook. I highly recommend an evening at this phenomenal restaurant for a great dining experience, enjoy..

    Palazzo is an Italian restaurant in the Edgewater neighborhood. My friends invited me to the…read morespecial dinner here - Black Italian Truffle Dinner at Palazzo. I'm not truffle connoisseur, but decided to try something new. Based on our conversation with the chef who approached our table after dinner, he was dreaming of hosting this dinner forever. There was always something that came in the way until this decadent evening. I'll share my experience from the special dinner. AMBIENCE: Palazzo is like a gallery meets fine Italian restaurant. There are plenty sculptures including Michelangelo's David replica. Paintings of ballerinas reminding me of Degas. Walls of wine bottles, predominance of stone accents, and a small vase fountain transport you to Italy. Touches like backlights and wine bottle walls make the atmosphere romantic. The restaurant has multiple dining room spaces. There is also a wooden bar. There is also a covered patio. During our visit the restaurant was extremely crammed. The dinner was sold out. Tables were so close together that it was challenging to navigate between them. Guests had to move their tables to let someone pass through - other patrons or staff. I did not feel comfortable with these seating arrangements. The restaurant was very extremely loud. I couldn't sit comfortably without bumping my chair into other guests. I'm not sure how the dining layout looks like during regular days. Hopefully there is more room at the restaurant. The bathroom is in the basement, so not ADA accessible. The ceiling in the bathroom was awkwardly low. FOOD: Our dinner was 6 course experience for $125 (no tax, no gratuity, and no drinks included). First course (Antipasto) was Pera Sacchetti - Pasta Pillows, Pear, Formaggio,Truffle Cream Sauce, Fig Balsamic. Second course (Insalata) was Arugula - Black Truffle Oil & Shaved Parmesan. Third course (La Pasta) was Cheese Tortelloni & Sea Scallops - Shaved Fresh Truffle, Butter, Garlic. Fourth course was (Pesce Pan Seared Halibut) Black Truffle Cream Sauce & Roasted Rainbow Carrots. Fifth course (Mare e Monti) was Grilled Filet Mignon Medallion & Petite Butter Poached Lobster Tail Truffle Butter & Cauliflower Purée. Sixth course (Dolce) was Truffle Cream Filled Cannoli. Every course featured generous amount truffles and was very well crafted. I loved Mare e Monti, filet mignon and lobster were well prepared. While the courses were pretty petite, the dinner was filling. Considering the dinner menu, it was good value. Beyond the dinner, my friends really enjoyed wines. I ordered Prickly Pear mocktail ($10). It was okay, but not really flavorful. It was too ginger beer forward. It was pleasant to seem multiple mocktail options. SERVICE: It was wonderful that the chef personally greeted every table. I enjoyed learning about his story. It was a nice touch for him to speak with the guests. The rest of the service was average. The hostess was not very pleasant which set a bad first impression. Our waiter was fantastic but awkward. He kept taking away wine glasses and bringing back the same glasses. There was a lot of confusion with drink orders, and the wrong bill included the wine. Perhaps this was due to handling a large crowd. EVENTS: The restaurant is planning other upcoming events. For instance, Lenten dinner ($55) on Wednesday and Friday (February 18-April 2). PARKING: The restaurant has a very small parking lot with an incline. Arrive very early if you want to secure a spot. There is really no street parking nearby. You can park at the RTA bus station across the street. Parking experience is inconvenient. I'm conflicted on how to rate this restaurant. I enjoyed dinner, presentation, mood, and personal chef approach. I didn't like the table arrangements, service, and parking. If the service was warmer and less rushed, I would be all about this restaurant.
