Ohio’s Italian Festivals
Ohio’s festival season is not over until you have eaten a bowl of spaghetti with meatballs, tried a cannolli, enjoyed a slice of Pizza Fritta, or finished the day off with a little Granita Italian lemon ice. So grab your friends and go enjoy a little taste of Italy. “Mangiare”
