Only a small percentage of diners will appreciate the significance of the circle-wrapped K in the restaurant name Kantina, but to those in the know the symbol is meaningful. It indicates that the restaurant is kosher, and as such it complies with the strict set of Jewish dietary laws that the designation requires.
Kantina isn’t Cleveland’s first kosher restaurant, but it is Cleveland’s newest one. It also is the most contemporary of the genre, one typically filled with — in this market anyway — modest catering kitchens and unassuming delis set within walking distance to Orthodox synagogues. Kantina is different for a number of reasons, but most notably for its location on the campus of Case Western Reserve University.

Uptown and its surrounding area has become a thriving arts and entertainment district in Cleveland’s University Circle. But even with the transformation over the last several years, the neighborhood was still lacking in one area: kosher restaurants.
That all changed on Jan. 14 when Kantina, a new kosher restaurant, opened inside the Albert and Norma Geller Hillel Student Center on Euclid Avenue.
