- AAubreyCleveland / Akron / Canton •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe had a fantastic experience at Acqua Di Dea! The ambiance was modern and inviting, setting the perfect tone for our night. We opted for the Valentine’s Day tasting menu, and every course was artfully presented and absolutely delicious. Our server was incredibly knowledgeable, explaining each dish in detail and making spot-on wine recommendations. From start to finish, it was an unforgettable dining experience—we can’t wait to return!More infoAcqua di DeaPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary Italian• Downtown Cleveland•4.2
- CConnorTampa / Central Florida West •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoFantastic experience at The Venetian. Joey, our waiter, was professional, timely, helpful, and personable. He made our Valentine’s Day dinner very special. Also, Bob who looked to be one of the managers was fantastic. He came over to our table and made us feel welcomed and we had a nice conversation with him. Their hospitality and attention to detail was unmatched. The food was also INCREDIBLE. We did the pasta trio and wow that was the best pasta we ever had. We are looking forward to coming back soon!More infoIl VenetianPrice: Expensive• Italian• Downtown Cleveland•4.9

- CCharlesVIPSt. Louis •6 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWe've enjoyed dining at Palazzo every time we eat here. Very warm, welcoming professional staff and owner / chef Rafael. We love the ambience in this dinning room. Very relaxed, never rushed and quiet enough for conversation in a normal "inside voice" level. The food is never short of terrific. At our table last night, people raved about the salmon special, a steak special and the sacchitti. Whether you prefer beef, pasta, seafood or salads, you will only get a very well prepared and delicious meal. Location is a little hidden but it is a very convenient location and well worth the trip.More infoThe PalazzoPrice: Moderate• Contemporary Italian• Cleveland West•4.8
