Ferraris are elite vehicles that most of us can only marvel at. We know well that the closest we’ll get to one of these sporty foreign jobs is by visiting a showroom. Even then, we won’t qualify for a test drive. Thankfully, the Crawford Auto-Aviation Museum in Cleveland is offering an up-close view of this fantasy automobile during its “Ferrari: T...

Cent’ Anni opened somewhat quietly in Little Italy just before Thanksgiving. But the buzz around this hard-to-find Italian Amaro bar is growing louder and louder. It’s easy to see why the intimate 40-seat space is getting attention. The name has Cent Anni, which means “may you live 100 years,” and suggests a story. Cent’ Anni is pronounced ‘chent a...

"Sono molto orgoglioso delle mie origini italiane," David Manica said in Italian before switching to English for the rest of the presentation. It was 2019 and Manica, the most important and successful architect in the world when it comes to designing stadiums, was in Milan to present his proposal for Milan's new stadium.

The plan all along was to import his Italian concept, Antica, which has been cruising along in Avon since the summer of 2021. Come late-February/early-March, that plan will h...

Steve Flacco has seen his son be a first-round draft pick, then go play in three AFC Championship Games, then win a Super Bowl and be named the MVP of the game and ultimately become the highest-paid player in NFL history. Thursday night, seated in luxury field seats at Cleveland Browns Stadium, the elder Flacco saw his son lift the former rival Bro...

Turns out, all of that New Jersey smog is actually pixie dust, and it’s landing on NFL quarterbacks. Oh, sure, we have Superfunds sites all right — super funds, as in what Tommy DeVito and Joe Flacco will be earning in bonuses and (in Flacco’s case) playoff money this season. The NFL’s most unlikely heroes have the Italian Sons and Daughters of Ame...

A long-simmering project in Little Italy will soon take flight. Cent’ Anni (12401 Mayfield Rd.), a posh little cocktail bar that has been in the works for some time, is expected to open in late November.
