There are many restaurants that define Cleveland's cuisine, but few are as iconic as Johnny's Bar.

These items are a popular topic of discussion among visitors. The flavors are so rich and irresistible that they have the power to transport you to the gorgeous Italian countryside.
The ambiance is indescribable, as it is overflowing with elegance that one truly must experience in-person.
Its beautiful art deco atmosphere will have you longing for the good old days and their rules against cell phones use may keep you away from your favorite websites for a bit, but it's a sacrifice that is well worth it.
