Maybe it's because we had small kids in tow, but the staff - tattooed, twenty-somethings - seemed cooly tolerant of our presence. The food was good - nothing unique or earth-shattering. The sliced steak was cooked well, although placing it over raw chick-peas was a head-scratcher. The grilled pork chop was tasty but a bit tough. The brick-oven Margherita pizza... more

Food - I went to Lolita with a large group, we ordered many different things. The overall impression is the food is better than average, and there are big hits and big misses. The drink menu is good, we shared wine. The crowd favorite appetizer is the stuffed pepper, it had excellent flavor but is incredibly spicy. Other good options:... more

This place had the best food I have had so far in Cleveland. I got the mac and cheese, which was amazing. We also got the chocolate torte for dinner and it tasted exactly like my aunt's famous truffles. I was half-tempted to ask if she was in the back making dessert! Definatly check out Lolita!! more

My husband and I went to Lolita for our 8th anniversary. I would not recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for romance. It's noisy and you sit very close, almost touching, other diners. Plus, it's very casual. That said, the food was excellent, the portions were large and the prices were very reasonable. I would definitely come here again. I... more

went here for a birthday- everyone ordered an appetizer plus an entree. Nothing stand-out at all! I expected so much more. It wasn't even the execution- it was the recipes! For example-the ricotta appetizer was....ricotta....that's about it. If you are looking for a Michael Symon restaurant try Lola. As to Lolita- it should be put out of its misery. more

Very good

Very nice atmosphere. Unique upscale casual decor. The staff were friendly. The waitor was excellent. Had the cured meat for two plate, fresh scallop dish and steak dish. Chef uses local ingredients. Meat cured in house. Would definately go there again. more
