If you're looking for a truly unique Cleveland experience, I highly recommend Johnny's. It's an institution and it hasn't rested on its laurels. The small, old school bar is fun to sit at, but the elevated dining room just off the bar is a beautiful place to have a nice meal. We split a Caesar, had the veal medallions and chicken piccata. Nothing nouveau here, just really good classical Italian dishes executed to a tee. The staff have all been there for ages (at least the ones we interacted with) and while many have specific quirks they're all extremely friendly and do an amazing job. Almost a David Lynchian type vibe. Really nice meal - can't to return.
cozy nyc vibe in cle with the best characters around consistently. we love the energy, the bar, the people, and most definitely the food! jose holding the door for you just adds that much more kindness to the whole vibe. stella at the bar is what's up. and the food! mark, the chef, knows what's up! we are regulars and i am vegetarian, so i just have throw together a vegetarian pasta dish and he knocks it out of the park every single time. the chefs are so much a part of the personality of johnnys. we were honored to meet chef matthew, who helped create our amazing dish tuesday evening. beau and willy are the cornerstone of that place. you gotta go there
Went to Johnny's for a dinner date. The bartender and other staff were so friendly, that we decided to sit at the bar. (Laurie and Nate) I have been here before and it never disappoints. My date had not been here before and has been talking about his dinner since then! We ordered a filet with mushrooms and the short ribs. Both dishes were were the perfect dinner size and cooked to perfection. I Highly recommend this place!!!!!
We for my boyfriends birthday! Always a great meal! They forgot on the reservation it was his bday, but I had an ice cream cake at home! Waitress was great!
IMHO best restaurant in CLE. The vibe, the food, the friendly service just tops everything. Took out-of-town family to Johnny's last week. I'm so happy we did! We have been there before and loved it and thought it would the perfect Cleveland dining experience for our guests. We were not disappointed. We were there on a Thursday night. Had reservation and seated immediately. Place was active but not overly crowded or uncomfortable. Physical place has a cool 'old-school' vibe to it. Food was all perfect, service was fantastic and Bo recommended a really great bottle of wine that did not break the bank. Johnny's is the best!!!
We e been to Johnnys downtown years ago but had not been to the original. It was awesome! Service was great; the food was incredible. One of the best meals we've had in Cleveland.
