Place is a bit small, so I wouldn't recommend bringing a party of more than five people. They accommodated my party of seven as best they could, but the space just isn't there--not that I'm gonna penalize them for that, though. Food was wonderful, cocktails were strong like I like them to be, and the lobster tail was the best I've ever had in my life. That missing star, then? Well, we were kinda left hanging till all of our party of seven showed up--I introduced us as a party of seven when it was still just myself and my wife, and we were left standing and wondering if we'd been forgotten about even when we were at five people total, still waiting on 2. Just saying "We're getting your table ready and we'll seat you once you're all here." would have been just fine. But particularly when you're seating parties of three or four that came in _after_ us....some assurance that we're not being ignored would have been nice.

Love this place! The dinners are amazing. You get what you pay for. I always go early to avoid the crowd.
This is by far one of my favorite places to go grab some dinner.They have the best food in Painesville

If you like a dingy bar like restaurant with mediocre food and rude rushed service....you'll like this place. Don't waste your money here.

Your hostess is very RUDE. As we were getting ready to leave, she said to us, come backanother time and stay longer!!! How rude how utterly rude for somebody to say that to a group of people that came to eat at your restaurant...we won't be back!!! The whole time we were being rushed trying to take.Our plates and boxing our food up to move us out of there.Your place was not crowded or even that busy... Your rudeness is going to lose alot of business. You're NOT ALL THAT!!! This place doesn't even deserve one star.

By accident was in that area, was pleasantly surprised great food, service, and nostalgic decor. Being Italian was reluctant we never order red sauce out, it was fantastic. We are looking forward to going back.

Really good food, quaint mom and pop restaurant, with daily specials. Server was a little short with her questions and was a little pushy on making more drinks for us. We declined a few times. Overall, it was a good birthday dinner.
I agree with the other reviewer that this is a place for locals. Call me a food snob, but this is hardly 5 star worthy. The food was edible, that’s it. The sauce tasted like it came from a store bought jar or even a can. I thought this place would be a hidden gem based on the ratings and reviews. Server was attentive, but had a get em in, get em out demeanor.

My veal Parma's very good but the loaf of bread was to die for. Could have made a meal out of it. Atmosphere was so so,the short staff was really trying. . Would I go back again in heart beat if the bread baker was ther

Literally crammed in there like sardines. Could hear entire peoples conversations on both sides of us. Everything was bad from the hard cold butter for the bread, to the oily, no taste Italian salad dressing. I got the lobster and baked potato. The glob of butter in the potato was almost as big as the potato and the lobster had zero taste, and super chewy and overcooked. The melted butter couldn't even make it taste better because that had zero taste! It was like oil! My friends was so bad, he didn't even eat it. He got the broiled shrimp scampi and pasta. Way overcooked and again, zero taste. Waitress told us the pasta is really just for looks. Told her he didn't want it and the reason and she got mad and said "that's the first I've heard that in 18 years!" Unreal. Never again! For 65.00 lobster and 45.00 shrimp it should at least be cooked right!
