Things To Do
IL Rione Pizza
Our ceremony at IL Rione is intimate and limited due to venue capacity. If we aren't able to host you at the ceremony, we encourage you to swing by our favorite restaurant while you're in town. In the spirit of our very first date together, the first time I visited Cleveland, Doug took me on our first date in Ohio at IL Rione to try what became our favorite pizza spot in town! It's open 4 PM - 11 PM Monday - Saturday and does not take reservations.
Good Company
Whether it's for brunch or to try our favorite wings in town, we cannot recommend Good Company more! Good food, Good drinks, and Good Company!
Casa La Luna
Casa La Luna (formerly known as Luca) is a fan favorite for our counterparts that travel during the NBA season and one of our favorite Italian restaurants in downtown Cleveland! If there are open bar spots, Luca hosts a daily pasta happy hour that can't be topped, but if you're stopping in, the Sacchetti is an absolute MUST!
Marble Room Steaks and Raw Bar
Marble Room is an incredibly elevated dining experience, rich in history and architecture. If you're planning to indulge while you're in town, we highly recommend booking a reservation months in advance!
West 25th Street
We recently moved to the Ohio City neighborhood where West 25th Street is the heart of the area! Spend a day bar hopping, going out to brunch, grabbing an elevated bar-menu dinner, trying a local brewery, playing giant jenga or duck pin bowling, or popping in for a scoop of ice cream! West 25th is a one stop shop for a fun day in Cleveland! Breweries: Great Lakes Brewing, Market Garden Brewery, Nano Brew, Bookhouse Brewing, Saucy Brew Works Bars & Restaurants: Townhall, Nano Brew, Pins Mechanical, Brightside, Pioneer, JaJa, and Bartleby Dessert: Mitchell's Ice Cream

Located just east of downtown Cleveland and minutes from University Circle, Little Italy’s quaint, walkable neighborhood is home to cafes, restaurants, shops, and art galleries that allow visitors to experience its historical charm. We recommend swinging through if you're craving authentic Italian cuisine or treats!
Lucky's Café
Lucky's Café is located in the heart of Tremont's historic district. The restaurant is a renovated house, offering guests a unique and charming setting to enjoy award winning food and drink. The restaurant has an adjoining patio that is available for dining during the summer months. Eating at Lucky's when the weather turns nice has always brought a sense of home to Aly, reminding her of her parent's house, especially her mother's garden in Brookfield, WI. We highly recommend you stop in for breakfast during your stay!
