You’ve heard of throwing back a drink, but what about throwing a drink at something? At Leo’s Italian Social, you can do just that.

Ask the bartender for the Cello Shot ($5), three ounces of house-made limoncello served in a shot glass made of ice, and meet them on the patio. Throw back the shot, then try your luck at throwing the ice at an antique bell.

The experience was created two years ago when Leo’s opened in the spirit of what the restaurant is all about: being social.

“We want to have family and friends gather and have a place to have a good time and kind of put two and two together,” says Bryan Kelley, director of operations.

What do you get for accomplishing this impressive feat?

“Nothing but pride,” says Kelley, though you’ll still get to savor the limoncello, which is made from the zest of 30 fresh lemons. 2251 Front St., Cuyahoga Falls, 330-400-4427, leositaliansocial.com
