Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Little Italy

Dante is one of my favorite restaurants in Cleveland. The food is outstanding--creative and delicious.

5:30pm reservation before the Christmas concert with the orchestra. Fantastic dinner for the four of us. Strip steaks cooked to perfection. Sea bass and pork chop good as well. Service was impeccable. We had the short rib rigatoni as an appetizer for the table to share and all at the table commented that it was the best they have ever had. Can’t wait to go again.

I think the price was a bit steep for the quality. I had the beef short rib and wish that the chef was a bit more heavy handed with the demi glace especially since the beef was over. It was a bit tough/dry and I wasnt super appealing to the eye Everyone else generally enjoyed their meals although I don’t think anyone was blown away. $240 with tip for 4 people including two kids and two adults (3 adult beverages total). Service was friendly and ambiance was there. Probably will not go back due to price for quality ratio.

All four of us went to dinner before seeing a show at Playhouse Square. The service was top shelf and the food was excellent. We were eating off each other’s plate because it ALL looked so good. 😊 our waitress was beyond impressive; in fact the whole staff was in excellent form. This is our 8th or 10th visit this year and they never disappoint. Bravo 👏!

The atmosphere was delightful and very festive for the Christmas Holiday season. From the moment we arrived the service was prompt and most gracious. The cocktail and wine selection was very nice. Our meal and desert was delicious. Definitely will be coming back.
