Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Downtown Cleveland / Playhouse Square

Mandy was the BEST!! Food and cocktails were delicious. We will definitely be back. Thank you for having the sound dampening panels , so many restaurants are way too loud.

Wonderful dinner at Palazzo, they never disappoint. We have been there for birthday, anniversary and holiday meals. The food and service is always top notch. We had their clambake and the clams were delicious, so good that we split an additional dozen. The clam chowder was a little thinner than I am accustomed to but still very nice. The chicken dinner was also very nice with crispy chicken skin and moist meat. I am not a sweet potato person but actually ate and enjoyed the mashed sweet potatoes. Dinner included a whole ear of corn vs the usual 4-inch piece. The other clam bakes options were steak or lobster which I am sure would have been nice, but we never finish a clambake dinner. Experience has taught us that leftover steak or lobster does not make sense but leftover chicken is still very nice.

This is a very special place. Sunday evening Food, service all so excellent. What a gem

We live in Avon and rediscovered Antica. The food and wine are what has brought us back. Every meal has been amazing, paired with wine of course. Staff is great as well

Went to Bright Side for a birthday celebration with friends and had a fantastic time. Wait staff was great and the food was delicious. My friend is vegan so we are sometimes limited in where we can go but we did not have a problem there.
