   Very noisy where we were seated. A table close to us was used to dry and stack plates so there was a constant clacking noise, which combined with the general noise of the restaurant made conversation nearly impossible. Waitress was giving us a few more minutes to decide from the menu which turned into a half hour while she focused her attention on a larger table close by. We had ordered an appetizer which somehow did not get served until it was no longer hot and the waitress told us it had to be reheated. The manager intervened and ordered a fresh one made and served at no charge. I ordered seared halibut on mushroom risotto. The halibut was under seasoned and bland and the risotto was crunchy. Everyone else at the table enjoyed their food. The waitress redeemed herself somewhat by being very personable and giving my sister, whose birthday we were celebrating a complimentary dessert but never acknowledged or apologized for her earlier neglect. If this had been my first experience at this restaurant I would never return. All of my previous experiences at Bar Italia have been stellar with excellent food, service and atmosphere and I hope this was just an isolated incident that won’t be repeated.

   It was way too loud. Your choices don’t show this - you describe it as energetic. Temperature was very cold and we asked if it could be adjusted and told no. People were putting costs on. The table next to us went out to their car and brought two blankets in for their young children to put over their shoulders. My two aunts had to put their jackets on. None of us enjoyed being called while we were eating. The highlight of our dinner was a server, CJ, who was exceptional in his attention to us.. because of the noise level I probably will not visit this location again. When you can’t hear the conversation at your own table, it’s way too loud. I’m not sure if it’s the acoustics within the building why but it was just a very noisy place.

   Food and atmosphere very enjoyable. Our server was nice but not very attentive. We would’ve ordered few more drinks if server would’ve came back around. Half way through our meal he asked how everything was and we ask for granted Parmesan and was able to get another drink.

   One of the few restaurants in Cleveland that offers the outside atmosphere without being outside and food is very good. I typically return here due to the uniqueness of the location/atmosphere/etc. Most restaurants are way too loud/chaotic these days and this location offers a more intimate/quiet outing. Thanks.

    I made reservations and still had to wait when I got to the restaurant. Witnessed a couple ahead of us with the same issue and they cancelled their reservation and left. Nobody had any urgency in seating us. Booked the reservation for Mother’s Day and expected a much better experience.
