I am so obsessed with the show Diners, Drive-ins and Dives I LOVE IT! Everytime I go to a new city I always check Guy's list to try out a new place. I spent Memorial Day weekend in my husbands childhood city of Cleveland, OH and I immediately took to the list! Low and behold I found so MANY!!!! I decided to narrow it down to 2.
1. Lucky's Cafe: We went there for breakfast Lucky's is strictly from garden to table! There is even a garden outside near the patio seating area. The Desserts looked fresh and the atmosphere was non-pretentious and very much a neighborhood type feel. Lucky's is located in the Tremont area of Cleveland which is very up and coming. The food YUM! I opted for the Omelet and it was bigger than I thought it would be took up the entire plate! It was fresh, cooked well and all and all good food. It also came with this banana nut bread slice and it was so delicious melt in your mouth. I also covered it with homemade jam. A matter-of-fact everything is homemade there the hot sauce, ketchup, EVERYTHING! Definitely one to try! 777 Starkweather Avenue Cleveland, OH 44113 www.luckyscafe.com
2. Geraci's Restaurant: This reminded me of a scene from the Sorpranos or The Real Housewives of New Jersey! Just Kidding! It was small dark cozy and ITALIAN! Geraci's has been in Cleveland for over 50 years and the owner who is 90 is still there making pizza. The menu is loaded with all your italian favs but we went there to try out the PIZZA!!! Which I must confess was hard for me to eat as I just had all 4 wisdom teeth removed but it was soooo worth it! We ordered the pepperoni and the "works pizza" and they were both delicious! The crust crispy yet not too hard or thin it was perfect. The topping fresh and that sausage on the works was NOT at all what I expected it was so fresh and tiny not the chunky or big pieces of sausage the sometimes place on pizza. The Whole family went and we had good food, good convo, good times! 2266 Warrensville Center Rd Cleveland, OH 44118 www.geracisrestaurant.net
Although we didn't get to go here this time another great place to try is Melt in Cleveland my brother-in-law raves about this place as does my in-laws. This restaurant has several spins on the childhood favorite, grilled cheese sandwiches, what Melt does is takes it to an adult level without taking away that cheesy down home fun!!!!!
YUMMMMMMYYYY!
