This is what you can expect if you choose to dine with us. And we hope you will. The name Sarita is a nod to Chef Anthony Romano’s mentor, plus the name of a song by the New Orleans band, The Subdudes, one of the chef’s favorites. The restaurant is owned by executive chef Romano. His approach to Sarita is fairly simple: to create a space that’s a reflection of his kind of place.relaxing, fun and celebrate life in the company of friends and family with good food and a great cocktail in hand.

Always an impeccable experience here. Food was exceptional; the rockfish marsala was a delicious, inventive new take I'd never seen before, and the scallops were perfectly cooked and seasoned, maybe the best I've ever had. Drinks? Delicious. Dessert? 10/10. Live piano in the corner? Delightful. But what really stands out here is the waitstaff -- Ricky, our waiter, was so friendly, attentive and helpful, checking in at exactly the right moments, and we really appreciated him! Could not be happier -- this one of the best dining out experiences in Cleveland, hands down.
