In the age of dwindling amenities, Jojo’s Bar welcomes guests with a linen napkin-lined silver bowl overflowing with a cornucopia of fresh-baked treats. Tucked within are poofy seeded rolls, slices of artisan bread and shards of thin, crispy lavash. On the side are ramekins filled with soft salt-capped butter.The amount of restaurant tinkering that has occurred in downtown Chagrin Falls over the past few years has been nearly impossible to keep up with.
For his latest opus, Doody appears to have plucked all the best nuggets from his portfolio of restaurants, which includes 17 River Grille, Cedar Creek Grille and Bar Italia. Those pearls are polished for a more critical audience and presented with New York swagger in a drama-filled space. Rather than go one route or the other, the serial restaurateur opted to marry the timeless appeal of an elevated Italian trattoria with the flair of a classic American chophouse.
Thanks to the menu’s dual personality, diners can go the luxe pasta route or down the prime steak path. In the noodle department, there is the beloved rigatoni in spicy vodka cream sauce, beachy spaghetti with clams and a beefy bucatini Bolognese , which flirts with perfection. In terms of chophouse fare, the menu offers enough cuts and sizes to appeal to all tastes and appetites. Selections range from a 22-ounce bone-in ribeye down to a petite 6-ounce filet.
