Best Family Style Restaurants in Downtown Cleveland / E. 4th Street

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!

For it being Valentine’s Day, all I can say is they really did an amazing job. Not just saying it, but it really was, amazing waiting staff, and quick and execellent food. To see the least it’s a must have when going to little Italy!

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.

Our waiter was Chris and he was top notch amazing ! Excellent service, the food was superb , the prices were completely reasonable . Will definitely be back ! Thanks Don’s Lighthouse and Chris for an amazing night !
