   In spite of attending during one of the busiest days (Riverside Holiday Stroll) the staff was attentive and the food was great!

   I can’t think of the waitress name. She was fantastic, always checking on us and if we needed something. Thank you!!

   Our evening started off on an extreme high celebrating my niece’s 12 birthday at a beautiful matinee in Chicago. It went downhill and fast at La Barra - Riverside. It took half-an-hour to seat us for dinner and another half-an-hour for all of us to receive our first drinks! We waited so very long for our entrees that once they arrived, we were too tired and exhausted to enjoy the food. It did not help that the fish and chicken were overcooked. In retrospect, we should have gone to the Chew Chew down the street where food and service has always been stellar.

   Very nice restaurant and ambiance. Tasty and delicious food. Moderately + priced, but food was worth it. Welcoming and attentive staff and servers.

   Was looking for a nice normal dinner, but there were 100’s of tipsy people around our table, pressed tight, and a band was playing way way way too loud. If you’re converting into a bar please let us all know. So we know. Worst dinner of our lives. Or if all you have are high tops then tell the web app there is a band, again so we know not to come on that evening. Then people can decide it’s not where they want to go for that night. Thank you.

   Had the filet which was perfectly cooked. My husband had his Russo sausage pizza that he really enjoyed. Michael and Juan were great servers. (Just miss our usual server Sabrina).

    Everything was fine, but there are a few things I wish they would improve on. This is our third time dining there and I always forget that they don’t have a children’s menu. It bugs me because it’s in a very family friendly area and yes, there is pizza so that’s what my child got, but it would be nice if they had a few other options. One time I believe we pieced her together a meal with a cup of soup and a side dish of noodles. Our server was good, and she recommended a dessert that was really fantastic! Overall, I guess it’s a good pizza place and we were happy with the drink selection, but I do wish they’d make a bit of an effort to have slightly more kid friendly options.
