His approach to Sarita is fairly simple: to create a space that’s a reflection of his kind of place.relaxing, fun and celebrate life in the company of friends and family with good food and a great cocktail in hand.

At age the of 20, Chef Rafael moved with his wife to Cleveland, Ohio. His goal was to continue his Italian culinary skills which he acquired in the region of Verona, Italy.Chef Rafael was introduced to the restaurant industry at a very young age. His grandmother was very well known for her home-cooked dishes. She loved having her grandson with her as she cooked meals as soon as he was able to walk. He was six years old when he first learned how to make homemade pasta and, by age 14, he was ready to embark on his own culinary journey. His first stop was Verona, Italy,which was the setting for Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. The romantic and rich architectural heritage of Verona was matched by the great culinary venues of that city and Chef Rafael's experience and skills grew exponentially. Three years later, Chef Rafael traveled to Belgium and France where he then experienced cooking French cuisine as well.

Friendly service was matched with excellent seafood at very reasonable prices! From this point forward I will be tempted to go to Sam & Dave’s for my Mitchell’s Ice Creams. The price is the same at both !

Great experience overall. Our server was very knowledgeable and the food was great. I am a vegetarian and there were lots of options. We had a group of 6 and meals ranged from steak to fish to salad and all were pleased. Drinks were great, food quality was excellent and the new decor of what was once a very blah restaurant (the old Bomba) was so much better than I would have expected. It far exceeded my expectations and we will most definitely be going back.
