  • Agostino's Sushi Rock

    15607 Madison Avenue, Lakewood West Side/Ohio City/Tremont/Detroit Shoreway

    (216) 905-5941

  • Bar Cento

    1948 W. 25th St. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

    216-274-1010

    Channeling the spirit of a European wine bar, this funky little spot in Ohio City makes a tasty backdrop for a small but tempting menu of thin-crusted pizzas, house-cured meats, handmade pastas, and some of the best twice-fried, Belgian-style fries you'll ever find on a Cleveland tabletop. To go with, the annotated wine list offers 100 selections, while next door's Bier Markt provides dozens of imported brews.
  • Barley House

    1261 West 6th St. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

    216-623-1700

    During daylight hours, this anchor of the Warehouse District party scene masquerades as a simple bar and restaurant. But on any weekend, the place becomes a holding pen for a unique cross section of clubbers, from gel-headed fratsters to hip-hoppers to suited execs.
  • Bruno's Ristorante

    2644 W. 41st St. West Side/Ohio City/Tremont/Detroit Shoreway

    216-961-7087

    Stepping into this cozy neighborhood ristorante — with its wooden bar, linoleum floors, and menu of pizza, pasta, and assorted parmigianas, cacciatores, and marsalas — is like traveling back in time to the days when Italian restaurateurs baked their own breads, made their own pastas, and served it all in charming, intimate spaces. Almost everything on the “full-meal deal” menu is delish. But when it comes to fried calamari and baked lasagna, Bruno’s scores among the very best.
  • Caffé Roma

    13000 Lorain Ave. West Side/Ohio City/Tremont/Detroit Shoreway

    216-889-9999

    The menu’s nothing fancy, composed mostly of pasta, a few sandwiches, a simple pizza, and some pastries. And while the surroundings are clean and comfy, the amenities are homey at best. But when you and a bud each can snare an ample portion of spaghetti with homemade meatballs and share a freshly stuffed cannoli, and still get change from a $20, that’s what we call a bargain. Beer and wine are available.
  • Chinato

    2079 E. 4th St. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

    216-298-9080

    Chinato makes diners feel special with redefined Italian dishes served in a contemporary setting. Start with glistening crudo or a bowl of unabashedly salty seafood fritto misto. Chinato's pastas are lush, dreamy and (fortunately) available in half portions. Entrées include buttery skate wing, Amarone-braised beef and brilliant porchetta.
  • Cibréo Italian Kitchen

    1438 Euclid Ave. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

    216-862-9212

  • Flats East Bank (W.10th Street)

    1150-1121 W.10th Street Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

    2165148700

  • Johnny's Bar

    3164 Fulton Rd. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

    216-281-0055

    Dark, intimate, and timelessly elegant, this manly little jewel box of a restaurant is the sort of place you suggest when you want to impress the boss, wow a date, or just remind yourself why you work so damn hard. The menu is crammed with upscale Italian specialties, including some stunning risottos and one of the city's finest long-boned veal chops; at lunch, though — pssst — the char-grilled burger is out of this world.

  • Vincenza's Pizza & Pasta

    603 Prospect Ave. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

    216-241-8382

    Vincenza's serves what we'll wager is downtown's best pizza: massive wedges of savory goodness, fragrant with tasty ingredients. We are especially partial to the veggie-stuffed pizza, with mushrooms, broccoli, tomato, and essence of garlic; for a change of pace, try the to-die-for hot and crusty veggie sub. Counter service and plenty of tables in a clean, efficiently operated space that opens onto the Colonial Arcade.
