Trattoria located on Mayfield Road in Little Italy is an FFF favorite.
From the fabulous antipasto platter to the scrumptious desserts. It has always been a great dining experience. **Plus Steve's awesome cousin and his fiance reside in Little Italy, so we can usually rope them into joining us...ah bonus. :)
The atmosphere in Trattoria is just as charming as the incredibly popular Tomato Basil sauce. (available for purchase by the jar). If I ever see any in a store or at a food show, I snatch some up for my homemade eggplant parmesan. Which by the way...is my favorite entree at Trattoria.
Brittney love love loves the gnocchi. The best way to eat it is with the blush sauce. It is an extremely rich dish with that sauce, but perfect comfort food for the unpredictable chilly Ohio weather.
By the time you get to the desserts, you may not have much room left...however you can always fit a bit into your "dessert stomach".
(Side Story:The dessert stomach is apparently separate from the regular stomach, so that when the regular stomach is full, the dessert stomach is always ready for action. ;) Oh that's awesome, isn't it? Invented by a friend's child trying to convince Mom that there is always room for a piece of chocolate cake.)
I would recommend the Cassata Cake. It is always super moist and exquisite.
Il mio amore Trattoria!

I hate to be 'that guy/girl' but the best Italian food is not in Little Italy, but is located in a small very intimate (great date place) on Lee Road called Marotta's. The pizza is some of the best I have ever had and if you get a large you can eat for a week (or so--if it last that long). Also, the pasta and bread before the meal with a balsamic and olive oil dip is not to be missed. Also check out www.clevelandindependent.com for locally owned Cleveland restaurants.
Thanks Karen for your comment. We will definitely have to take a trip to Marotta's. New restaurant suggestions are always welcome. :)
