Took 8 year old granddaughter for a Christmas date. Staff was kind and informative about menu. Food was delicious with huge portions. We got fried cheese raviolis, chicken parm and veal parm. Wedge salad was also excellent. Looking forward to going back soon.

Best Italian restaurant in town, hands-down! The quality of food for the price you pay is absolutely unparalleled. I highly recommend the apple and goat cheese salad. One of the specials tonight was chicken cacciatore which was out of this world! I enjoyed linguine with Bolognese sauce. You need to try their sauces, absolutely delicious! Delaney, our server and Raphael made our night special. If you’re looking for fine Italian cuisine, don’t miss this spot also phenomenal craft cocktails and the wine menu is tremendous.

Another great experience. We bought a bottle of Graham’s 20yr Tawny Port and indulged in a mini ganache cheesecake. We were really excited to hear you now carry West Side Bakery’s items. Can’t wait to try Carpe Raci in Brecksville.
