New Italian Restaurant Opening Very Soon

In just a few weeks, renowned chef Dante Boccuzzi will open the doors to his newest Italian creation – The D.C. Pasta Company. 

The restaurant, which will take over the site, will feature casual, traditional Italian fare, 25 wines under $25 and affordable entree prices that are sure to attract the whole family. 

And that’s the point. 

“We don’t want this to be just a special occasion place,” Boccuzzi said. “The main focus is on value and well-executed, fresh, homemade food that everyone can enjoy.” 

The menu will include eight to 10 homemade pastas with each being offered in three different sizes to satisfy parties big and small. 

Boccuzzi’s partner, Carmela del Busso, who also owns in Broadview Heights, believes she and Dante have honed in on a recipe for success by leveraging their passion of creating “delicious” Italian food. 

“The décor will be clean, nothing pretentious,” she said. “We want everyone to enjoy the food and be comfortable. We're going to bring an authentic version of Italy to Strongsville, and I think it will be well received by the community.” 

Boccuzzi, who made a name for himself in Tremont with Dante and Ginko, predicts The D.C. Pasta Company, at 12214 Pearl Rd., will be open by mid-January.
