Ciao Havana Steakhouse (CH Steakhouse)

An Italian steakhouse with a Cuban accent on Calle Ocho, serving prime steaks, cocktails and live music in a small, dim room.

Revisado octubre de 2026

Good for a date or a birthday dinner in Little Havana when you want steak and a band instead of a ventanita. The trade-off: it's open only five nights a week, and the online menu won't tell you much before you book.

Steak on Calle Ocho

Prime steaks are the headline here, framed by Italian cooking and a Cuban sensibility the restaurant calls its soul. Google files it as fusion, Italian and Mediterranean, which is fair. This isn't a cafecito-and-croqueta stop, and it's a sit-down dinner on a stretch of 8th Street better known for quick bites. Prices sit at $$, reasonable for a steakhouse. It holds a 4.7 from about 1,100 Google reviews, a strong number for a place that only opens in the evening most days. Check the menu before you go, since the site gives few specifics on cuts or dishes.

Live music most nights

The restaurant leans hard on live music. Its site promises seven nights of it, though Google lists the place closed Monday and Tuesday, so count on five. The room is described as intimate, which usually means small tables and a band close enough to make conversation a little work. That suits a date better than a business dinner. Hours run 5 to 10 pm on Wednesday and until 11 pm Thursday and Friday. Saturday is the late one, until midnight. Sunday opens early at noon and goes until 11 pm, which gives you an afternoon option.

Birthdays and bigger tables

Birthdays are a clear specialty: the restaurant runs a dedicated birthday package with music and decor, so expect to hear singing at nearby tables on weekends. Groups planning something larger, from corporate dinners to private parties, go through a separate events line rather than the main reservations number. With a room this size, a big party can take over a good chunk of the floor, so book early if you want a weekend night. Couples who'd prefer to skip the birthday energy may find Wednesday or Thursday calmer.
