The Velvet Tango Room

2095 Columbus Rd., Cleveland

What was once sort of an open secret around town has now become a full-on Cleveland landmark. The Velvet Tango Room remains the gold standard of martini joints in our city and was featured on Best Thing I Ever Ate under the drinking category. The drink featured was the India Lime Fizz, which brings the exotic floral India limes together with notes of vanilla, a rich and creamy base and a whole egg.

Trattoria

12207 Mayfield Rd., Cleveland

There’s so much good Italian in Little Italy that it’s easy to overlook a couple places. But don’t overlook Trattoria, which was featured on Rachel Ray’s $40 A Day, on which she ate the house special shrimp and gnocchi pasta, which is served in a tomato basil cream sauce with mushrooms, scallions and a hint of cayenne pepper.

Tommy’s Restaurant

1824 Coventry Rd., Cleveland Heights

Known for their vegetarian and healthy options, this Coventry Road staple has been serving up Clevelanders since 1972. While they had vegetarian and vegan options before those became popular, they have more than just healthy options. The thick-cut french fries are some of the best in town and their milkshakes, especially black cherry, is a must try. Rachel Ray created her own omelette on $40 A Day.
