What a great gig! Last week I had the most fun job . . . photographing the interior of the new Dante Restaurant. Dare I say elegant and chic and modern and hip . . . you betcha! Dante, located at 2247 Professor Ave. has set up digs in the former Third Federal Savings & Loan bank building in Cleveland's trendy Tremont neighborhood. Chef Dante Boccuzzi has transformed the bank (complete with vault) into a rich, inviting space where diners will want to linger over good food and fabulous wine.
Ok, I am not a food critic so I won't go into detail about the fabulous food and wine, rather, I will take you on a tour of this beautifully appointed restaurant, and once you see the photos you will want to check it out for yourself. Ultra-high ceilings and large windows that provide beautiful natural light give the space a hightened sense of grandeur. Did I mention the tin ceiling and custom chandelier? Below is a shot of the bar area looking toward Professor Avenue. The attention to detail is amazing . . . everything sparkles!
Below is the view you are greeted to upon entering the restaurant. The color scheme is warm and rich and . . . once again let me say . . . inviting.

You may want to reserve the table in the vault . . .

For something special . . . the "Chef's Table" offers an incredible dining experience.
