About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for outdoor dining
Welcome to Sarita, where we are slightly obsessed with serving good food among friends and family. Our focus is on healthy, new American cuisine – a celebration of all our backgrounds and roots. The best of the best eats if you will. Lighter dishes with natural reductions, a lot of vinaigrettes, less cream, less butter — but unbelievable flavors. 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.

    Sarita is one of the best restaurants in Cleveland. There is a wide variety of food choices and they are all delicious. The service is friendly and informative. And the patio is a great place to share time with family and friends.

    My family & I had a late night dinner here on Saturday, June 7. We had escargot, oysters, burrata & wings for our appetizers. They were delicious! I had a Caesar salad which I shared with my son. For our entrees, my daughter had lobster pizza, I had the pork tenderloin, my husband had the beef tenderloin & my son had a special, strip steak with Mexican street corn. I was all very good! As if we didn’t have enough food already, for dessert we shared a brownie with raspberry chocolate chunk ice cream. Our server, Juliette was excellent! She was very friendly, personable and knowledgeable about the menu. She catered to all our needs. I would definitely dine here again!

    Awesome food, great selection and wide variety of options. Drinks and selections were also large and tastes great. Service was only thing lacking unfortunately. Took a while to get our apps and dinner- had to say something to speed it up so not to miss a show afterwards. If we had not asked about our dinner - it most likely would have taken us +2 hours to get 1 app and 2 entrees for a table of 2.

    We have been to Sarita about 4 times now within the last few years and we can honestly say that we have never had a bad meal or experience there. The service is outstanding and the food is beyond compare! They are constantly offering new and exciting dishes as well as some delicious old stand bys. This is our go-to for special occasions and we will continue to do so. Sarita never disappoints and we look forward to going back soon! Our sincere compliments to the chef and staff!

    Our party included a vegetarian, a fish-lover, and a red-meat lover. We all thoroughly enjoyed the broad menu with incredible attention to detail. The plates were beautiful as well as tasty. The service was spot on: attentive without hovering. The server's knowledge of the extensive specials offerings was also amazing. Lovely restaurant. Will be returning.
