Ristorante Chinato

Very impressed with this place. Our larger party was greeted warmly at the door, escorted to our table where we were equally warmly greeted by our server. He was friendly, extremely knowledgeable about the menu and all drink selections, helpful, patient and attentive. Decor was comfortable and relaxed. All of our meals were excellent. I very much enjoyed the house made pasta and the care with which all dishes were prepared, plated, and served. Well curated wine and craft beer selection, including many local and regional selections. Again, our server was knowledgeable and helpful when pairing a beverage to our meal selection. When I'm in Cleveland again. I will definitely stop at Chinato again.

Amazing service and great food. I don't usually give 5 stars but this place deserved it. We counted five people that had served us something: water, bread, food and drinks. Our server was excellent. This place was quite busy but you felt like they were there for you and your family. Each course was served within minutes of finishing. Our appetizer of mussels in the tomato broth we couldn't get enough of. The mussels were cooked perfectly and excellent, but the tomato broth was actually the star. If they made a soup of this we all would get it. We soaked it all up with the numerous slices of bread they provided. Salads were large and excellent. The dinners were very flavorful and my daughter's mushroom ravioli was the best ravioli I've had. I can't say it was lacking or needed anything. THe shrimp in my pasta linguini was also perfectly cooked, very snappy just how I like it.

Had dinner there November 7th and couldn’t be happier with service, atmosphere and food. Our waitress Anne was fantastic, there was 2 other fellas that made sure our dishes were cleared quickly and also made sure our drinks and pretty well everything else was good. I had their braised beef short rib with polenta and my wife had linguine and shrimp. We also shared a prochuitto appie and also had their apple strudel for dessert. All at a reasonable price. Honestly do not have one negative thing to say about our whole dining experience. Well done! Mark and Michele.

I'll never understand why this place isn't jam packed each time I'm there. A great location for downtown, a large menu with great small plate appetizers, and bartenders that go out of their way to make you great drinks (even ones that aren't on the menu but they want to experiment with). They have two TVs at the bar and it's never busy during Cavs or Indians games so it's a great place to watch a game. Chinato is my go to spot for good food. It's a bit on the expensive side, but you get what you pay for and I never leave feeling dissatisfied. I'd highly recommend it.

A very good choice for Italian food. Located just minutes from arena or public square. Also walking distance to theatre district. Very nice restaurant with rustic feel. Wait staff is top of the line. The menu speaks for itself. The drinks and desert menu are great as well. It's a little pricy but well worth money. A must try if you are in Cleveland

Perfect rehearsal dinner. Everything was excellent, the restaurant has a private dining space with a separate bar. Our guests had plenty of food and cocktails; we did a limited menu and everything came out hot and at the same time. One guest has severe food allergies and the staff handled it beautifully with good options. Planning was a breeze. Highly recommended.
