• Mediterranean • Chagrin Falls
Bar Fuoco is tucked behind JoJo's Bar in Chagrin Falls, and we do things a little differently here. No reservations. No velvet rope. Walk in, grab a seat at the bar or a table if one's open, and settle in. If there's a wait, put your name down and go wander the Falls — we'll text you.The menu is small and focused: wood-fired pizzas, shareable plates, and a cocktail list built for people who actually like to drink. The wine list is tight and Italian-leaning. The bar is the heart of the room, and the patio is the best seat in the village when the weather cooperates.Come for a quick drink, stay for dinner, or post up for the night. That's the whole idea

    Was here 6 years ago and came back from Chicago. Great food with extensive menu and many specials of the day. Had the grilled oysters appetizer and Lamb-shank over mushroom risotto. Excellent! Service was attentive and friendly from Jamie. Chef/owner came out and introduced himself. If I lived in the greater Cleveland area I would be a regular here. Don’t miss it! Go USA! Go Morocco!
