Since taking over the space a few months ago, which had been home to two prior wine bars, the owner has transformed the room into a warm, cozy and inviting place to explore wines from around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFrom the beginning, I wanted Aria to feel like a place you stumble upon and never want to leave,\u201d says Halko. \u201cA place where time slows, conversations linger, and every visit feels a little magical. My goal wasn\u2019t simply to open a wine bar, but to create a space where people gather, celebrate, reconnect, unwind, and feel like they\u2019ve found their place. My hope is that Aria becomes that for our community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Halko aimed to assemble a one-of-a-kind selection of wines that is designed to expand one\u2019s appreciation of varietals. The list leans heavily into Italy, showcasing producers from across the country, but also distinctive wines from other storied wine-growing regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEvery bottle has been chosen not only for its quality, but for the story it tells and the place it represents,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to the wines, Aria offers a menu of classic cocktails, beer and a concise roster of small plates designed to pair with the beverages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI tell everyone in the neighborhood that I\u2019ll happily be your waiting room,\u201d she says. \u201cSend them to me to grab a drink and I\u2019ll send them right back to you for dinner.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clevescene.com\/cleveland\/ClevesceneNewsletterSignup\/Page\">Subscribe to CLE Bites, Doug Trattner\u2019s weekly food newsletter.<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>Follow us:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/publications\/CAAqKQgKIiNDQklTRkFnTWFoQUtEbU5zWlhabGMyTmxibVV1WTI5dEtBQVAB?hl=en-US&amp;gl=US&amp;ceid=US%3Aen\">Google News<\/a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbreak.com\/@c\/1599763?s=01\">NewsBreak<\/a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/ClevelandScene\/\">Reddit<\/a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/clevelandscene\/\">Instagram<\/a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ClevelandScene\">Facebook&nbsp;<\/a>|&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ClevelandScene\">Twitter<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/playwire.com\/?utm_source=pw_ad_container\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week, Sarah Halko opened the doors to Aria Wine Bar (12304 Mayfield Rd.) in Little Italy.
