| - Within one week in Cleveland, the BF and I came here twice. Does that say enough or should I elaborate? I'll elaborate so you can drool over our spectacular evenings.
Dante offers a dark and intimate decor. Perfect for romancing someone new or enjoying an evening out with the love of your life. The dark wood interior with fun lighting sets the mood for a spectacular time.
Our first outing was late and we were looking for a libation or two and something sweet to complete our evening. There cocktail list is well constructed and has a little bit of something for everyone. I can't remember the specific cocktails at this time but I can tell you that they were all exceptional. Once we took a glance at the dessert menu we knew we had to have something. Decisions are difficult when everything calls out your name. Dante must know that decisions cannot be made for only one dessert so they offer a tasting menu option for three desserts ($18). We're sold! We'll have the, Peanut Butter Banana Cheesecake, Blueberry Lemon Parfait, and the Raspberry Tartlet please. The standout by far was the Peanut Butter Banana Cheesecake. The peanut butter and banana combination in the Cheesecake is genius. Add on chocolate covered pretzels and rocky road ice cream for the full effect and each bite is ecstasy. The other two offerings were impressive as well. I enjoyed the tart flavor offered in the Raspberry Tartlet with the citrus cream. We moaned and groaned with each heavenly bite and cleaned each plate.
A day or two had passed and we were still talking about our wonderful time so when we opted to go on a culinary adventure in Tremont we decided that Dante would be on the list of stops.
A dinner stop was just what we needed after enjoying sushi from Ginko next door. Another night sitting at the bar, our favorite place to enjoy the atmosphere at Dante. More cocktails were enjoyed as we discussed the delicious looking menu. The BF let me decide and surprise him with what we were having for dinner. Again, because I can't choose, I decided on all three Hand Made Past dishes, a tasting of each at $5 a piece. For a tasting portion we both thought these were very large servings. We had the Linguine alla Carbonara, Pappardelle Bolognese, and the Ricotta Cavatelli alla Norma. Our favorite was the Bolognese with a ragu of beef, veal, and pork. The combination of flavors were brilliant and the hand made pasta was divine. The Carbonara also stood out as we twirled our forks around collecting each strand of linguine with pancetta and a rich cream sauce that coated each luscious fork full.
In addition, I left feedback on one of those cards for the Chef and not a week or two later I received a hand written letter in the mail thanking me for coming and for the feedback. A very nice touch indeed.
I found Dante to be a dynamite restaurant with an innovative cocktail list and stunning menu. I would gladly return time and time again to enjoy this gem of a restaurant.
