Etna Restaurant & Wine Bar

We tried Etna for the first time last night on Valentine's Day and it was absolutely amazing. Cleveland's Little Italy has a lot of really great places and ETNA was incredible. We started with a buffalo mozzarella, olive and thick sliced prosciutto appetizer. Absolutely amazing. I had a squid ink pasta special with shrimp and scampi and my wife had their veal. Both were absolutely fantastic. For desert the tiramisu is beyond description. Light, fluffy, incredibly flavorful. This place is LEGIT. Our server was originally from Italy and took great care of us. She was amazing. We visited Italy years ago and this place really brought us back to those amazing memories. We will absolutely be back. Make sure to get a reservation because the dining room is rather small but very nice and cozy.

Overall 9.6/10My personal favorite restaurant in Little Italy. Not in the "Heart" of little Italy as it's on the edge, this restaurant has some of the best food I have had in Cleveland. Ive been here multiple times and it has never disappointed in any aspect. I would also call the restaurant in advance for a reservation.Food: All the food here is amazing. From the roasted duck which had crispy skin and a juicy inside, seasoned to perfection to the amazing seafood risotto that was so filling and fresh. The food just doesn't miss. I have had their sautéed calamari which is wonderful with the bread they give complementary. Everything tastes so fresh and flavorful. The portion size is great and leaves you filled and it comes at respectable prices. Service: Amazing service. The restaurant is on the smaller size so seating is limited, but because of that you pretty much have attentive staff open to helping you at all times. In addition to the restaurant being smaller, the setting is much more intimate as it has dimmed lights and a bar on the side. The staff is kind and very informative of the menu and special too. Overall: I would come here everyday if I could. One or the best restaurants in Cleveland from my experience. I would come here for special occasions/ dates or if you're craving amazing food.

This bar is my happy place in Cleveland. Really cool old school Italian restaurant. Every dish is great but the trout is on another level!

Good food but limited menu. Not much we liked on it. High prices. Service was ok. Bathroom was terrifying.

Later Saturday night visit either friends. Service was excellent. I enjoyed the house salad and then fusilli pasta dish. Dressing in salad, a savory italian, different and great. Sauce on fusilli was excellent anchovies replacing meat or sausage brings a different flavor to the dish. Its small, tables are right next to one another, don't plan a super private conversation agenda. Definitely going back.

This is a gem of a restaurant on Murray Hill. Barely 10 tables inside, you need to make a reservation if you want one of them. We decided to go same-day but were fortunate to book 2 seats at the bar. Two of us split an app, pasta, and main, which was enough food to feel full but not stuffed. Prices were reasonable and portions were moderate. The gnocchi was savory and the grilled fish was tasty. We split a reasonable priced bottle of white wine. The place was bustling on a Saturday night without being overwhelmingly loud. We'll be back!

Wonderful sidewalk dining during the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary 2024. Located just before the madness of THE FEAST, excellent typical Italian fare is to be had at Etna. Salad and pasta and meatball were very enjoyable. Partner's gnocchi was described as bland sauce and dumpling too dense, but they are a gnocchi connoisseur. "Lacked flavor". As usual, we disagreed as my plate was fine. Service was excellent.

This is a cute, very intimate, Italian restaurant in Little Italy. Highly recommend making reservations, even for a party of two. We arrived about 15 minutes early, and they weren't able to accommodate us, which wasn't an issue, and we just headed to Presti's in the meantime. I had the shrimp scampi with squid ink pasta, which was absolutely delicious. The shrimp were huge and juicy, and the pasta was perfectly al dente. I had one of the white wines that was recommended by our waiter, though I honestly don't remember which one. It was very delicious, and really appreciate his suggestions based off of my preferences.I definitely think that this is a great place for an intimate date night or a dinner with parents. This would not be the place to go if you have a large party. The service is a little bit on the slower side, but the wait staff generally give you space to do your own thing, even though there isn't much space in the restaurant itself. While their menu isn't the most extensive, I would consider returning if I'm craving Italian food.

SO SO good. came for a date night and we tried the mussels, gnocchi with eggplant, and the steak. We also started off with a glass of moscato each, but it was so good that we ordered the whole bottle. The mussels came first. The sauce that it's in is absolutely incredible. We kept dipping our bread in it and had to force ourselves to stop so that we could save room for the rest of the food. Probably my favorite part of the meal. Then we got the steak, I believe called the bistecca all'olio di toscana. Very juicy and yummy. And the gnocchi alla normana was so good, especially the eggplant. Felt very rich and flavorful. Only negative was that I was really looking forward to the tiramisu and they were out of it :( I guess that just means we need to come back! Tried half the Little Italy restaurants so far and this was our favorite.

I would come back just for the tiramisu. Homemade cream and authentic serving style -- it was devoured.Cute, quaint spot in little Italy on the corner. We called in 45 minutes prior and we're able to get a table for 3 at 7pm on a Sunday night. Besides the tiramisu, the gnocchi and enta salad were among our favorites. Next time would want to plan ahead so we could sit outside!
