We’re definitely fans of Sasa Matsu, J. Pistone and Sarava. And we might be potential fans of Dante etc. as well; we just haven’t eaten at those places yet. It sounds like they’ll be using local produce.
The event should be a lot of fun!
Sasa and Sarava are like… Wow! I live on, well near Shaker Square and I effin love these places! Sarava is like a bully though because once they turn the volume up on the Brazilian sounds (literally they pump it up yet it’s not intrusive but intoxicating. I want to grab the lady and dance! Is that safe after eating?) it’s like the pied piper I want to go see! Movies and a meal at Sasa on Mondays? The tapas are like 5$ and discounted beer… I rarely cook anymore.
Anyways, yes this event sounds sweet and I love Shaker Lakes take my nieces there often, seriously considering attending, however, I will rely on you to tell us what the happenings were! Enjoy.
Sounds like a fun event with some of Cleveland’s finest!
