Welcome to Sazani Oceana

At Sazani Oceana, we bring a bold, contemporary seafood experience to the heart of Shaker Square. Founded through a partnership between Cleveland restaurateur Akin Affrica and hometown icon Josh Cribbs, our restaurant was created with a shared vision: to offer elevated seafood dining that feels welcoming, vibrant, and rooted in the community.


Our home at 13220 Shaker Square has been thoughtfully reimagined from the ground up. The space features refreshed interiors, new booths and lighting, restored hardwood floors, and a warm, modern atmosphere designed for everything from intimate dinners to celebratory gatherings.


Our menu highlights fresh seafood prepared with creativity and care. Guests can expect a variety of coastal favorites and unique dishes including lobster wellington, whole fried branzino, chicken milanese, filet mignon and vegetarians offerings. Every dish reflects our commitment to quality ingredients, balanced flavors, and an elevated yet approachable dining experience.


Sazani Oceana is more than a restaurant—whether it is dining in our main or private dining room or hosting a party with our catering and events team, it’s a destination where Cleveland’s culinary energy, culture, and community come together. We’re proud to be part of Shaker Square’s next chapter and look forward to welcoming you to the table.
