I was in little Italy in Cleveland last week and we ate at a small family style restaurant "Maxi's" ? There were nine of us and we ordered 6 or 7 apps 2 salads and 3 small Pies. Food was incredible and we had a ton left over. The food bill was approx $100 and the bar bill... well that's another story.
