Restaurants near River Plaza Shopping Center

We had such a wonderful experience. The views are gorgeous and the food was amazing. I especially recommend the clam chowder. Our server was so kind, and many staff came by and collected dishes, drinks were always refilled. We also took our infant and they were very accommodating. I highly recommend if you are looking for special night out!

Went here for an anniversary dinner. Normally Summer Place has a fabulous view of the Cleveland skyline but on this occasion a winter storm got in the way which still created a nice ambience due to the windows all around. The serving staff was very attentive, and the meals were cooked to perfection. Though we received a complementary celebratory desert, ice cream from Mitchells, we still selected a piece of chocolate mousse cake to share. All in all, it made the anniversary celebration memorable.

The table bread had a fantastic crust with an amazing crunch, but the inside of the bread was soft and chewy, and just so delicious. It came with dipping sauce that included roasted garlic, which was to die for. We had the sacchetti as an appetizer and it was just as delicious as the bread. For our meals, we had the Bolognese and the tortellini and both were so delicious. The portion sizes were good, but not ridiculously large. The amount of protein included was generous. The pasta was delightful. For dessert we had the tiramisu and the mousse and both were a spectacular ending to a spectacular meal. The service was perfect, she took the time to chat a little here and there but never hovered. The noise level was a little louder than I’d prefer but not obnoxiously so. We will definitely eat here again. 

You cannot go wrong with anything you order at Bar Italia! We’ve been here a few times and it’s just amazing. Highly recommend the spicy vodka pasta and the short rib pesto arancini appetizer! Always enjoy the house sangria as well. Must try if you’re in the area!

We had a really good server ( forgot her name though) she was awesome ! Food and specialty drinks were very good. I might say the portion of the food for the price was small. Also, there were only 2 dessert choices ( maybe because it was my free bday offering) but the affogoto was not for me - very very bitter. My friend didn't like it either. The other option was a cornbread cake. Not that it was bad, but for dessert I would have preferred something else. We sat near the kitchen which is always a noisy place to sit. The ambiance and the quality of the food was good.
