Wonderful experience on Saturday night. 9/ 21/24. Even though it was homecoming night for the local high schools and they were pretty packed in the dining room, they fit us in on the patio and that was actually a better experience. Their backyard patio is lovely and faces a huge Wood-Fired grill effort that is going on that actually supports a large part of the menu. Thoroughly enjoyed watching their Wood-Fired grill professional manage the grill. I think his name was Nick. Great job. So several of the foods that we had all came from the grill. Very much enjoyed the appetizer of Wood fired baked mozzarella and asparagus. Then I had their Gorgonzola Gnocchi and my friend had a pasta with sausage. Both were delicious The wine list was pretty good too. In fact, seeing something that we have actually been to personally at Owen Roe in Washington. Knowing it's a great property, we ordered it and we were not disappointed by the Syrah, and it was a wonderful price since it was pretty near retail. We'll definitely go back and enjoyed the meal. Great job team, especially the Wood fired grill manager. He's having fun with his samurai sword to cut the pizza... unique!

Nice Italian restaurant in downtown Willoughby specializing in wood fired dishes. Decent sizes restaurant with some outdoor space as well. Was pretty booked on Saturday when we went so recommend making reservations. All out food was delicious. The burrata on wood fired bread was delicious and the special pasta stuffed with black truffle and ricotta was also great. Service was very friendly and attentive. Would definitely go back again.

One of my top picks for dining out in Downtown Willoughby is definitely Pranzo. The ambiance, cuisine, selection of wines, and level of service never fail to impress. Personally, I can't get enough of their chicken Marsala, chicken Parmesan, and the delightful burrata cheese appetizer. Trust me, Pranzo is the real deal - I highly recommend it every time!
