In addition to traditional fare, the restaurant will also feature steak Florentine; Osso Buco; mushroom risotto; Tuscan roasted chicken; and homemade fettuccine carbonara. “It’s a casual Mediterranean bistro,” Calanni added. “A white tablecloth restaurant setting but with a casual feeling.” Looking for the perfect date for Valentine’s week? You’d better call ahead at Tonino's, said Calanni.

He was the bartender and general manager at 2182 Brecksville for the past three years.

Looks like the same rude bartender "Tony" bought the place. He 's only nice to his friends...

Espicially if your name is Sam then the world stops, silly little place a cliche for the Brecksville wannabe New Yorkers but look so silly

We're not friends with Tony and had a great night with excellent food and service during opening week. Let us Brecksvillers have a chance before you comment negative things on every article about the place. No one is forcing you to go.
