This week, Eddie Tancredi opened ETalian in downtown Chagrin Falls. The restaurant’s name is a portmanteau that blends the chef’s initials with the featured cuisine. Unlike his previous restaurants, which include places like Adega downtown and Distill Table in Lakewood, this one is a hyper-focused fast-casual establishment that specializes in Naples-style wood-fired pizza.
In partnership with the building’s owners, Ed and Amy Weinfurtner, the chef transformed a 1,200-square-foot brick shell into an airy farmhouse-chic pizzeria. New windows open onto the upper falls of the Chagrin River and fill the space with the sounds of rushing water, honking geese and bustling foot traffic.
