We came to Casa La Luna to celebrate my best friend's birthday, and the staff was incredibly accommodating they even took a great photo of us for the memories! For dinner, I ordered the Chicken Picatta, and my best friend had the shrimp cocktail and stuffed ravioli. Everything was delicious and I highly recommend this place for a celebration or a date night because the nighttime ambiance is wonderfully moody and romantic. We will definitely be back!

Tiramisu Di Casa
LaRaun C.

Casa came through for me in the best way on my birthday. It ended up being a last-minute decision after I slept through my original reservations, but they were open late and incredibly accommodating. I asked for a window seat since I was dining solo, and they made it happen with no hesitation. The service was impeccable, as always. I decided to try something new and ordered the ribeye (my first time having one), and it absolutely did not disappoint. The real surprise was the tiramisu that came out with a candle. Such a thoughtful touch, and honestly meant a lot given the transition phase I'm in right now. The staff really made the night feel special. I've also been here for happy hour, and it's just as solid. Definitely a go-to spot for me, especially now that I live so close.

Pappardelle Alla Bolognese

We had a very enjoyable meal at this establishment. Our server was very attentive and helpful in making some of our selections. They brought us oil and Parmesan cheese for dipping with the bread that was spicy. I'm not a fan of the spice in the oil, but my wife enjoyed that twist. She had shrimp and clams over linguine which was slightly overcooked, but was still very tasty. I had Tagliatelle with red sauce that combined duck and wild boar to make a beautiful Bolognese. We had an excellent bottle of wine from Abruzzo that was reasonably priced. It was a good choice if you're in the area and it was very busy as the night went on. They say the dress code is business casual, but I would say that it's step below that and that we saw people there in very casual attire.

I very rarely give any place 5 stars!! Casa la Luna was freaking amazing!! Our party was trying to coordinate arrivals and the water Mark was so patient and told us the table was ours for the night and not too worry. He had great recommendations and discussed the menu as if he'd tried everything on it. He customized my martini when I said I wanted something sweeter. The bread was divine and the oil slightly spicy. My scallops were perfect. Oh and before I forget --order the sacetti appetizer!!! I probably didn't spell it correctly, but our whole table pronounced it the best thing we've ever tasted. Every table we passed seemed to have ordered it. I can't even. Desserts were also great. Too much fruit when I just wanted sugar- I have the sweet tooth of a toddler elf. I'm so very sad this place is not in my town. Views of the lake and downtown were as beautiful as the food.

Casa La Luna is truly one of the gems of the West Bank of the Flats -- and honestly, I can't believe it took me this long to try it! I was headed to Jacobs Pavilion to see T-Pain (because buy u a drank is forever a bop) and wanted to grab dinner somewhere close. After a quick Google search, Casa La Luna popped up. I've seen this place over the years but never stopped in -- and what a shame, because this spot is AMAZING. It's been around since 2005 and clearly knows what it's doing. They do have a happy hour, but it's only available at the bar. Since we were on a time crunch, I made a reservation and was glad I did. Our server, Nita, started us off with waters and a loaf of bread big enough to feed a small village. It came out piping hot (which gave me all the cozy feels) along with a flavorful herb and oil dip that had a nice little kick. I ordered the Blueberry Thyme Martini, and it did not disappoint -- perfectly balanced and refreshing. I was dining with a couple of friends, which of course meant we all sampled each other's dishes. I went with the menu mainstay, the Lobster Ravioli, and it was absolutely delectable. My friends ordered two of the day's specials (there were about six in total): the Halibut stuffed with crab and the Fettuccine with scallops. Both were to die for -- rich, flavorful, and beautifully presented. To close out the evening, we shared a slice of Tiramisu, which was the perfect sweet ending to a flawless Italian dinner. Overall, Casa La Luna feels upscale but warm -- the kind of place that's perfect for a celebratory dinner or a date night with your main squeeze (definitely not the spot for your sneaky link). The food, service, and ambiance all hit the mark. I highly recommend giving this place a try -- and when you do, you can thank me later.

Loved coming here for happy hour. Definitely is a popular spot for happy hour-- 5-7pm Monday-Fridays, 5-9pm Sundays. You can only get the happy hour specials at the bar so it gets full quickly. Most recently, I came on a weekday around 6:15, and the bar was full--waited about ten minutes before seats opened up. The complimentary bread is great. It has that perfect crispy exterior and fluffy interior that pairs well with the olive oil. Ordered the pear martini--definitely could taste the pear, not too sweet. For food, we ordered the carpaccio di salmone, ravioli, and cavatelli al bolognese (all $10 each). The carpaccio and ravioli were pretty small in quantity (3 ravioli pieces), but then again they were both $10 and tasted great. If you're looking for more bang for your buck, the cavatelli had a little more in quantity and it tasted good, pasta with that good al dente texture. Service at the bar was good but a little slow, understandable given the full bar. Parking available as valet or free street parking if you're willing to walk a few minutes. Overall great food for happy hour, as long as you don't mind the wait. Would definitely consider coming back.

Ok, I struggled with this rating. I wanted to give it 5 stars, and it was close, but I couldn't do it. I'd give the food 4.5 stars, and the service a 3. The ambience, meh... Ok, but not spectacular. Service The manager is a moron. Plain and simple. I arrived, saying I'd like to go to the bar and wait for the rest of my party. He said, "Well, there are no seats at the bar". Well, no shit! You mean I just can't go in and order a cocktail??" Idiot. I ended up doing just that. The bartender was wonderful, and the cocktail was perfect! I mean, perfect!! And it was still happy hour, so it was inexpensive and she didn't spare the booze! First, the service. I felt very, very rushed. They were good at taking the order, but we were having a relaxing evening, and they kept trying to take our plates even though there was plenty of food still on them. This included the server and the manager. It was annoying. Our reservation was at 6, so I'm sure they were trying to clear us out for the second seating. The Wine They have an excellent wine selection. Incredible wine list. My only critique but the least expensive wine was $65. There are wines you can purchase, and we were drinking cabs, for a lot less. A good wine list, but it would be nice to see it more diverse. The Appetizer: The calamari appetizer was ok, 4/5. It was served with a delicious red sauce and was perfect for dipping their house bread, which was plentiful. The calamari was slightly bland, however. The Entrees: If you can endure the annoying service and overpriced wine, the entrees were nearly perfect. I ordered the seafood tortellini. It really was excellent. The sauce was creamy and fresh, the tortellini wasn't overdone (overboiled), and there was plenty of seafood, particularly lobster. My dinner guests had the ossobuco. I love ossobuco in general. This was sincerely the best I've ever had. It was tender, flavorful, and seasoned perfectly. Seriously amazing. Not sure if I'd go back. It's a very intimate space in that they pack a lot of people in there. But at $40-$80 a plate, not sure if it was worth it. The risotto of the day was $80! I don't mind spending money, but their prices were a bit excessive. Overall a great experience, truly, but very quirky. But yes, worth trying.

Orechiette Con Rapini
Gillian S.

This was a lovely choice for our friends birthday celebration! I highly recommend making a reservation, because this was a Sunday evening and it was packed!! Our server came with bread and took our drink order very fast! Once we had our drinks... we already knew we had to try to Sachetti (they are known for this & if you haven't tried to, you have to!!) - it is a very small serving & kinda expensive but again very good!! I got the Orechiette Con Rapini - it was very good & a large serving!! It doesn't really come with a sauce... but I was very surprised at how much flavor it had!!! I would definitely get this again!! My friend got the summer special Fruitti di Mare ($55) & it was yummy, it came with A LOT of seafood to enjoy- she couldn't even finish it all! The birthday girl got the Cavatelli Al Foro ( a baked pasta dish) - she loved it!! It was flavorful & saucy!! I would definitely try this one too! & she of course also got a free dessert, which was the tiramisu with a cute candle ( AND PICTURE OF US ALL!! ) how cute is that!! Casa la luna really was a great choice for a dinner - would be the perfect place for a fancy/intimate dinner!! Plus, when our server went to pack up our dishes - one of ours was lost so she had the kitchen make an entire new dish for us to be able to take home!!! (Free of charge) which was the kindest thing ever!! Highly recommend this place!!!

Cozy spot with some good Italian food. Our server was great -- she even gave me a Tide stick after I got some tomato sauce on my white dress. :) My favourites from the night were the sacchetti and the creme brûlée. The espresso martini was also great!

Lemon Drop Martini
Erin C.

Highly recommend Casa La Luna for a nice dining experience! I went here for a birthday dinner with friends and it was perfect. The interior was beautiful and the food was wonderful. I have been to Luca West before so was familiar with the Sacchetti Al Tartufo Bianco - of course we ordered the Sacchetti for an appetizer and it did not disappoint! The appetizer comes with 5 Sacchetti stuffed with ricotta. We also dipped our bread in the remainder of the truffle and cream sauce! I ordered the Cavatelli Al Forno as my entree which was a great choice as I love a creamy tomato sauce! They also gave me a birthday tiramisu to share with the rest of my group. Will be returning!

Orchiette
Gina F.

Always love coming here! Such a cozy and warm vibe with all the beautiful holiday decor. Had the sweetest server and the sommelier recommended a lovely bottle of Italian red for our meal. Dinner was great but my favorite part was the pistachio cheesecake - incredible! We love this as a special occasion spot or to take out of town guests. Never disappoints.

Gnocchi Di Patate
reilly s.

Amazing food but cold unwelcoming service. We stopped here while having a weekend away in Cleveland. I love a good risotto and a great glass of wine. I ordered the gnocchi and my friend ordered Costolleta Di Agnello (lamb chop). Best thing about the restaurant- the sweet pea risotto. Hands down best risotto I have had in the US. However the lamb was overcooked leading to a good workout to get the meat off the bone! The gnocchi was fine and the tomatoes sauce was fine too. But the risotto was mind blowing! I do want to say our waitress seemed to be rushing us and not very talkative. All the tables around us were having very long talks with our waitress and others around us but ours wanted nothing to do with us. Food came out faster than my cosmo and glass of wine. Inside was nicely lit. Overall great place. Please get the risotto.

Mozzarella and Tomato salad
Eugene T.

There is a good reason why this restaurant has been around for so long - great food and great service. Love the outside patio here and its in a very good part of the Flats. Started with the complimentary bread basket (great warm bread). We had the Ribolita soup (I would say its their take on the minestroni soup), Kobe Carpaccio for appetizers, Red Snapper special, Sacchetti and Lamb Chops. All were very good. Since it was our daughter's birthday, the restaurant gave us tiramasu (which we were planning to order, so that worked out perfectly) - it is still one of the best in the city. It is an upscale restaurant so be prepared to pay more with slightly smaller portions. But a great experience overall. One downside is being charged $10 for valet. I think for a level of restaurant, they could skip that

amazing bread

Are nice shorts (golf-type) acceptable for men?

Yes - it's a nice restaurant but it doesn't have to be completely formal. As long as there are no rips or tears I think even jeans would be acceptable.

A Fantastic Italian Dining Experience in Cleveland's Little Italy!…read more We absolutely chose the right Italian restaurant! Mia Bella checks all the boxes for a fantastic meal: a great vibe, kind and attentive service, and excellent food packed with authentic Italian flavor. Every dish was excellent, and the experience was made even better by our wonderful waitress, who recommended a glass of wine that paired beautifully with my lamb chops. It was a solid choice! Pro tip: Get a shot of limoncello to enjoy alongside your authentic Italian meal. It's a great way to add a little extra Italian flair to the experience! From the atmosphere and service to the food and drinks, Mia Bella hit all the marks. If you're visiting Cleveland's Little Italy and looking for a memorable Italian meal, this place is well worth a visit. Five stars and two thumbs up! Grazie, Mia Bella, for a wonderful dining experience!

The vibe is very relaxed inside . People were dressed up, people were dressed down; it is very comfortable. I apologized to the hostess for wearing a hoodie and leggings - I had just had surgery and my hotel was further out. She smiled and ushered us in. If you are in Cleveland and want to experience Little Italy , I have been told that all of the restaurants are lovely- Mia Bella has our vote!

We started with the seared scallops, which looked absolutely delicious, served over a creamy sauce with a balsamic drizzle. The presentation was elegant and made for a great start to the meal! The salad was a refreshing addition, with mixed greens, tomatoes, carrots, and a light dressing. A nice balance before moving on to the main course. For dinner, we enjoyed the steak topped with shrimp, accompanied by roasted potatoes and green beans. The combination of steak and seafood made for a beautiful surf-and-turf presentation, and the rich sauce brought everything together. Because we eat so late, Thursday night was a personal dining experience with wonderful attentive staff who gave us a history of the restaurant owners as well as great suggestions for dinner. Overall, Palazzo offers a lovely dining experience with thoughtfully presented dishes and a menu that feels both classic and elevated. A great option for a nice dinner out in Cleveland, and definitely a place worth checking out!

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.

I walked in to a perfect greeting and a private dining experience in an upscale setting with a professional team waiting on me! I had attended a concert at nearby Severance Hall and needed a late dinner that could accommodate a 915pm reservation which was met over the phone and in person with genuine and upscale hospitality. The dinner choice was easy - I asked for a recommendation and learned the special for the evening was veal - which is one of my favorites. I said yes and they immediately brought bread - warm with butter - a great crust on the outside and very tender/flaky on the inside. This was paired with a house salad and house dressing (Italian, of course). The salad had slices of radish and also strawberry with the greens. This meal also started by a Pasta Fagioli Soup that was excellent - just the right temp and brought was surprising speed along side the salad - surprising because it was efficient but not rushed and the temps of all were to perfection - as if they had been waiting on just little old me all night long - even though I know they had not been waiting on just me. It is obvious that they take their role seriously. They presented and provided a high quality, first rate, enjoyable and yet comfortable meal a priority. They deliver this with particular and notable expertise! Just look at that veal and the side pasta dish for the main course! Dinner was finished with a dessert of Tiramisu. This was the best Tiramisu I have ever enjoyed! I washed it down with a single shot espresso! The meal was Outstanding in every way! Bravo to the chef and the entire team! Marvelous! When I received my bill - I thought it was wrong! I even commented on it and asked to be sure. This entire meal was served fresh with detailed and excellent preparation and the best ingredients - served to perfection and the total cost was $39.12 with tax!
