Play bocce in Little Italy

Sure, you can get a life-changing dish of pasta in Little Italy, but venture to Alta House for a very different kind of bowl. Beginning in the spring and running through October, this Italian social and recreational facility — full of Italian patriarchs puffing away on cigars — provides three bocce courts for your bowling pleasure. Serious competitors can join a league or call ahead to reserve a court for a quick game while killing that bottle of Chianti. 12510 Mayfield Road, Cleveland, 216-421-1536, altahouse.org
