Owned by Michelin Star chef Dante Boccuzzi, Dante's Next Door is a restaurant and wedding venue in Cleveland, Ohio. Having traveled the globe to master his culinary craft, Dante decided to open his own restaurants and venues in his hometown of Cleveland. As a rising star in the food world, he worked with names such as Nobu Matsuhisa, Robert De Niro, and Giorgio Armani. In 2010, he opened his first restaurant, DANTE, a Modern American eatery located in the heart of Cleveland's culinary scene. A year after the birth of DANTE, Boccuzzi opened his New York Times-acclaimed sushi restaurant just below his first establishment. He would later go on to open an Italian trattoria in Ohio called D.C. Pasta Co. and a second eponymous restaurant, also in Ohio, called DBA, which stands for Dante Boccuzzi Akron. In 2012, the chef was nominated for The Next Generation Culinary Master Competition. This is an honor awarded to just five individual chefs chosen by Masters around the country. Then, in 2014, Boccuzzi opened his traditional Italian cuisine eatery, DANTE Next Door. The chef's travels to Italy heavily influence the food at this establishment. Not looking to slow down anytime soon, Dante later opened his live music venue, Coda, and a hand-crafted pizza place named Dante's Inferno. Soon after, he opened Northside Speakeasy, a craft cocktail bar inside the Marriott Courtyard Hotel.
