25 Best Wine Bars near Shaker Heights

“Beautifully elevated Mexican cuisine restaurant! I was warmly greeted by the hostess who set me up with a cute and cozy table. She and my waitress both were very polite and attentive during my visit. But I must say….the food was a work of art! Stunning and delicious. Probably one of the best presentations of carnitas I’ve seen in Ohio. Actually with the best depth of flavor and the au jus it came in kicked it up a notch!! I also had the chicken fajita tacos which were very tasty, both with homemade tortillas. Lastly had some moscato for a desserty type drink! Very nice experience!“

“Great food! All fresh made in house 😋“

“Wow! What an absolutely wonderful place to celebrate our 25th anniversary! The staff was so kind, especially Michael and Genevieve!!!!! Loved talking with both of them! The food here is incredible and very creative. Every single thing on your plate serves a purpose to the overall taste. Superb wine selection as well! We also loved its overall ambience and elegance. Hope to return someday!!!“

“9/24/2025: This place is a gem! The food and service was amazing! Our server Katina was very attentive and made sure everything was great throughout the night!!

“Great environment. Good food. Amazing service“

“First time! Excited! Heard nothing but compliments. The restaurant had many open seats. We enter and a person of upper management looked up and punched in something and then directed the server. The server, under direction took us to the worst place in the restaurant. My prayer was that it wasn’t because we were a family of color. I tried hard to disregard the thought as we were directed to sit outside the kitchen door. :—/. I was getting away from the kitchen. That was the last place I wanted to celebrate our special occasion. I asked for a different place in the restaurant that was housing one other visible couple. She was very happy to oblige us. When a restaurant is full, I can understand…. But this was far from the case. The server was 5STAR ! Food 5STAR ! I will definitely try it again with hopes that it was a mistake on the management part. My hopes…“

“Ever think of ordering THE Irish stout at an outstanding wine bar? I decided to give it a try and boy oh boy were my expectations blown out of the water. As someone who is personally not a fan of Guinness pours in glasses that don’t meet the Guinness glass standard, this glass and pour is superior to your run of the mill American pint glass. Reasonably priced. Perfect pour. Amazing atmosphere. 11/10 would recommend. The wine spot??? Also could be considered an Irish pub!“

“Everything about this place is top notch!! This is our 2nd time here and it was just as good as the 1st!! The hot feta is a MUST HAVE!!! Bone-in ribeye is the BEST steak and I dream about it!!! Ashley was our server and she was very nice! This is definitely our new date night spot!“

“This is officially my new Italian night spot. Everything tasted authentic and homemade, you can tell they use quality ingredients and put love into every dish. If you’re looking for authentic Italian food, I highly recommend Vittorio’s. I’ll definitely be back again and again!“

“The Fairmount is a perfect mix of all you could want! Amazing, delicious food, beautiful atmosphere on the large, enclosed green terrace and professional , friendly staff. I have never had a negative experience and I’m there often!“

“This place was awesome. Service, food and ambiance just what you’d expect in Little Italy. I had fusilla (spellcheck) puntenesca excellent!! We will be back.“

“Fantasy Candies has some amazing chocolates! The chocolate covered popcorn, potato chips and pretzels are our favorites. The specialty hot coco was delicious as well.“

“The staff was amazing! My 17 (!) friends and family members and I had a blast for my bachelorette party. Our pre- dinner activity finished a whole hour and a half before our reservation and they made it work to help me stay stress free for the evening. Aimee, our server, was so sweet and ensured my group of gals were taken care of the entire time. I highly recommend!“

“Tried Cuoco Bello for my first time tonight and it was delicious! I ordered the chicken parm for carry out and it was flavorful, a large portion size, and better than I had anticipated 😊 Just what I was looking for in a great meal! The staff was friendly and I can't wait to go back and try something else! Also, they have weekly specials so definitely check those out too! Highly recommend! 🍝“

“Our favorite family restaurant. The best in little Italy, hands down. we've been coming here for decades and it never disappoints. Angelo & his staff are top notch.“

“Good service lite food and cocktails“

“Great food. A little on the noisy side. Popular spot.“

“Held a party in their W room - the bartender Micheal FANTASTIC! Food was delicious. The downside was the condition of the W room—it was completely dirty, with sticky menus and tables, and the beautiful mirror appeared untouched for months. Considering the $250 rental fee and the venue's overall appeal, cleanliness should be a given. Unfortunately, we had to request the menus be cleaned and even brought our own cleaning supplies, though the mirror remained uncleaned. I have shared feedback with staff in hopes of correcting issue.

If you plan to hold an event their - please keep this in mind and make sure the place is cleaned up for your guests!“

“Y,ou can enjoy good food, music,dancing and meet wonderful people Weekend brunch is great for the family to enjoy themselves together.“

“Unique, fresh, and delicious! We will definitely be ordering from here again!“

“A wonderful evening with fantastic food and attentive service. Flour doesn't have a large menu which is a good thing because they focus on doing what they do really well. I had the “Sage Reckoning” to start from their cocktail menu and it was perfection. The chicken parm was a well-executed classic. It's a bit of a drive but every time I go, it's a good experience.“

“We had a very beautiful anniversary dinner on June 6th, our waiter Mike went above and beyond to celebrate our anniversary, he was very attentive in making sure everything was perfect, he even gave us free dessert, we will definitely be back and the food was exceptional, we will definitely ask for him again, thank you again Mike!!!!“

“This restaurant is very special. The food is excellent, beautifully prepared, and the wine compliments the meals so well. Juan our waiter was great excellent service! Great food, great background music and great wine.“

“Great food, Salmon, Striped Bass, and Creme Brulee. Bold beverages, Black Diamond and the Margaritas are delish! Service.was very hospitable! Thanks Ms. Charlie for the excellent service for our birthday celebration. You did a great job getting orders for 15 people. The Resturant had a private room with came in very handy.. I suggest that management hire and try to keep good staffing, so the restaurant can't continue to thrive, function at a high level and keep great people that want to working and help you stay successful !“
