Vento La Trattoria


Vento La Trattoria

28611 Lake Road
Bay Village, Ohio
440.835.4530


Vento La Trattoria is new to Bay Village, squeezed into a tiny space between Huntington Playhouse and BayArts. We finally got around to trying it out and really enjoyed it. It may be the smallest, quaintest little restaurant I've ever been to. There are about 10 tables, if that, a small bar, dessert case, and, in warmer months, a patio that probably doubles their seating space. Although they don't take reservations, they do offer call-ahead seating to accommodate your needs.

If you're seeing a production at Huntington Playhouse, check out their "Theater Patrons" menu -- a $20 meal consisting of appetizer, entree, and dessert -- that guarantees to seat you, feed you, and have you out the door in time for the show.

Or if you're spending the day exploring the metroparks, keep in mind they are open for lunch!
