The ambiance was good- very 60s Italian. I had the gnocchi pesto. Beyond bland. Didn't taste basil. Didn't taste olive oil. Didn't taste Parmesan. Not sure how that's possible. The pine nuts were just sprinkled on top which seemed lazy. Salad was brown. House Italian tasted like stale parm. Portions were lame for the price (usually you can count on a $14 gnocchi to be pretty hearty - this one would be a 'small plate' at most other Italian joints). A very unimpressive $60 meal for the two of us. I'll be returning in the summer to check out "the most romantic patio in Cleveland," hoping another dish will be worth it.
