About the restaurant

We understand that given the current circumstances everyone would prefer to sit outside on our patio. As such, we will do our best to accommodate these requests, but patio seating will remain first come, first served, and we will not be taking reservations for the patio. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Born out of our love of fine wines and culinary excellence, Village Martini and Wine Bar has become the top hybrid Wine Bar/Restaurant in Chagrin Falls, OH since 2012.

Featuring an always conscience serving staff as well as a full happy hour, app, dinner, & dessert menu, we are open 5 days a week.

About the restaurant

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.

They have fantastic salads and an array of intriguing Brazilian entrees. Choices include fish, vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options in addition to the grilled meats and Brazilian steaks that make Batuqui such an appealing spot. Love desserts? Their homemade chocolate bon bons called Brigadeiros or Coconut Butter Cake are amazing too!
