May 9, 20232 yr I'm excited to check this out! Glad it's finally getting an opening date! Great location for a restaurant! Fahrenheit Public Square opening set; Rocco Whalen prepares for shift to heart of downtown "CLEVELAND, Ohio – For restaurateur Rocco Whalen, life is about a couple of doors – one closing on Fahrenheit in the city’s Tremont neighborhood while the other is about to open in the heart of Cleveland – Public Square. "It’s Cleveland pride that is fueling the ventures for Whalen, a guy from Mentor with a presence in Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse and FirstEnergy Stadium, whose love for his hometown never wavers. "Fahrenheit’s target opening date is Monday, July 10." https://www.cleveland.com/entertainment/2023/05/fahrenheit-public-square-opening-set-rocco-whalen-prepares-for-shift-to-heart-of-downtown.html
May 9, 20232 yr I'm glad that space is now being occupied, especially by something high end like Fahrenheit, but it irks me that Tremont is starting to lose alot of its establishments at the same time.
May 9, 20232 yr Having Taphouse, Lolita, Parallax, and (soon) Fahrenheit all closed at the same time does kinda suck the air out of the neighborhood. I know there's plans for some or all of those spaces but still.

May 9, 20232 yr Does anyone honestly know the status of the Tremont Taphouse renovations? They closed more than a year ago for interior renovations and then planned to do more external expansion and landscaping work last fall. From the looks of it absolutely none of that work has started.

Is it just a universal law that you have to be mid to atrocious at business to open a restaurant? Maybe I shouldn't be so harsh, but why shut down a (by all outward appearances) successful business for a yet-to-be-solidified renovation? Why not just keep serving until you're literally ready to break some bricks? It seems obvious that we aren't getting the full story.

First Look: Tutto Carne, Opening Monday, May 15 in Little Italy The ritzy Italian-themed steakhouse comes from chefs Zachary Ladner and Carl Quagliata By Douglas Trattner on Wed, May 10, 2023 “I’m really excited about this,” says Zachary Ladner. “It’s going to be a lot of fun.” We’re standing in the red-brick corner property in Little Italy that has been home to a handful of restaurants over the years including Salvatore’s, Tutto Giorno, Il Bacio and Nora. Come Monday, May 15, the name above the door will read Tutto Carne. The Italian-themed steakhouse is operated by Ladner and Carl Quagliata, the chef-owners behind Giovanni’s, Smokin’ Q’s BBQ, Paloma and The Village Butcher. After changing hands last year, the property at the corner of Murray Hill and Edgehill has been completely transformed into a stylish and sophisticated 45-seat bistro. Everything but the four walls has been touched, including the bar, which has been rebuilt as an elegant seven-seat quartz-topped beauty. more: https://www.clevescene.com/food-drink/first-look-tutto-carne-opening-monday-may-15-in-little-italy-41954043 Tutto Carne owner Zachary Ladner.

May 17, 20232 yr Geraci’s Slice Shop — ’80s throwback — set to open in Cleveland with Tito Francona as investor If you walk into Geraci’s Slice Shop and blink a few times, it will definitely feel like you walked into a time machine – albeit a nice-smelling one with aromas of garlic, warm bread and oven-cooking pizzas – right in the heart of the 1980s. The eatery - set to open at 11 a.m. Friday, May 19, on Prospect Avenue – is in the old Vicenza’s Pizza & Pasta. While Vincenza’s served a lunchtime clientele for years, Geraci’s Slice Shop aims to be more – a throwback experience with later hours. It now has a definite vibe from that era, by design.

May 19, 20232 yr So I stopped by Geraci's to grab a slice around 1PM and well, not happening. After talking with a few of the staff they were absolutely slammed at 11AM and waits were about an hour by the time I came through. They're closing until 3 to regroup but they were saying people were generally understandable. And just fyi, slices'll be $5 for cheese and $6 for toppings.
