Best Authentic Restaurants in Bratenahl

For it being Valentine’s Day, all I can say is they really did an amazing job. Not just saying it, but it really was, amazing waiting staff, and quick and execellent food. To see the least it’s a must have when going to little Italy!

Our reservations were for 6PM as we we’re heading to a 7:30 play. We were seated promptly. None of are party had been there before. Our dinner partners had arrived early and enjoyed the bar area, for the pricing, ambience and generous pour. As it was Valentines Day they were busy but had enough staff. Our server, Cole did an exceptional job of explaining the dishes. Two of us had the Salmon dish and recommended salad. Both thought it was one of the best salmon they’ve had. We enjoyed two appetizers, wine the pesto pasta dish, and dessert. All delicious. We had a play subscriptions for 15 years. This in now our go to restaurant in Playhouse Square. Pricing was reasonable. We look forward to breaking bread again with family and friends at the Friar’s Table.

I always have a wonderful dining experience at Batuqui. The cozy atmosphere makes it feel wonderful and the staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. Food was absolutely delicious— flavorful and beautifully presented. The attention to detail in both the food and service truly stands out. If you're looking for a charming spot with great Brasilian food, I highly recommend Batuqui. Obrigado!

I had the rainbow trout rollintini I guess you’d call it with  cauliflower, and roasted potatoes.  also had for appetizer grilled octopus and a tomato onion leaf lettuce salad delicious as always. 😊🇮🇹🍷

I’m a returning customer so that is a big deal for me. The service,food and atmosphere were all very positive again . The only issue was when the patio heater nearest my table was turned off . My table was not against the restaurant brink exterior but up against the tented wall in the patio section. We were not asked about our temperature comfort level when the patio heater near our table was turned off; It was a very cold night and our feet ended up being cold. Other than that it was pretty great! The fresh “free bread “ all the appetizers and all three meals were delicious! So go!
