I really like this place a lot.
I have been coming to Cleveland for business for the past 3 years and I have rarely ventured outside of the downtown area because I did not have a car. But this night, wanting to impress my client, I decided to get a ride to the Tremont area. It was perfect as we walked into an old bank building, still with the vault! (Side Note: I'm in commercial real estate and my client is in the banking industry. We both know it is impossible to get rid of old bank vaults and their 2 ton doors!). Using it to age your meats was a great example of "highest and best use"...
Being Italian from Chicago, I admittedly have high standards for Italian food and Dante exceeded my expectations. They did something that I have never seen before and I wish more places did it. The menu offered three different sizes of pasta which is perfect for me as I like to taste the various fares, but don't want to fill up on a heaping plate of pasta. Great idea!
I always enjoy an interesting craft cocktail menu and they had one drink (can't remember what is was called) that was a play on a Manhattan. Very tasty!
Overall, food was excellent as was the service. I will be back.
