Best Italian food I've ever had. Fried mozzarella and bruschetta were fantastic, but the meatballs are definitely the best dish. Highly recommend.

The mussels and the garlic artichoke pizza were both amazing. I can't wait to try everything else on the menu

We’re not from Cleveland so we wanted to try some authentic Italian and needless to say the food was remarkable, the service was amazing and the atmosphere was quaint! Will be visiting again next time we’re here!

Our appetizers were frog legs- lightly fried( yummy) and mussels. We ordered a bottle of wine and enjoyed sipping and watching the books and servers do their thing. We split veal scallopini which came with a little ziti pasta in red sauce and Parmesan cheese. We had cannolis for dessert which were delicious. The waiter was incredible, actually one of the best I've had in awhile. The food was reasonably priced and we just really enjoyed the whole evening. Would go there again tonight if I could!

Small and intimate restaurant. Attention to details made a lunch feel special. Lobster ravioli was delicious and I think about it often.

The food here was soooo good! Had the fried mozzarella (literally the best I've ever had in my life!), the bruschetta, and the papparadelle noodles with the Bolognese sauce. It was divine! Our waiter (I think his name was RJ) was equally amazing. I'll definitely be going back. Just wish it was a little easier to park in Little Italy!

Food is excellent. Try the farfalle. The servers are remarkable. The seating by the window is somewhat compact but that is part of the ambience. I love Maxi's. And don't forget to order escarole and calamari . . . And take home a pizza!!

First time dinning here . Date night on Friday night, not super busy Restorant , just a few tables for 5pm reservations . Italian Music that was playing was lovely !!, service was little disappointing. Every table around had bread and butter served, but not our table , didn't even offer. Server was not very friendly or attentive. Felt as I'm was inconveniencing him by asking for another drink ..... As for food , average , had Maxis pizza, was average so as my pasta with meatballs was just ok . Will comeback in summer for outdoor seating and will give another chance .. just had very high hopes for my first time there , disappointed.
