“We usually can't say enough good things about D'Agnese's. Today, 11/22/2025, we arrived at 2:50 PM. We were seated quickly and ordered 2 drinks and a appetizer at 2:55 PM. We watched other customers getting bread and drinks. By 3:21 PM with no further contact we walked out. We hope if/when we return things will be better. We were very disappointed in this experience.“

“My wife and I were traveling and stayed at the Marriot of Akron just 100 yards from Luigi’s. We had seen the reviews and pictures and decided to try it. Absolutely the best Italian food I’ve eaten in a restaurant in years. We had 3 entrees(because we wanted to try more), 2 salads, an appetizer and two beers all for under $65 before the tip. We loved the meat balls, pizza, and baked spaghetti“

“First time eating here! Nice place… we sat at bar… got the special flat iron steaks and potatoes! Bar tenders were great! Potatoes were over seasoned and the bartender got us another side! Great steaks… service and not expensive! Will be back! Eat here if you have a chance!“

“We had a really nice experience at Vaccaro’s Trattoria. The restaurant is spacious and can comfortably accommodate parties of different sizes. The atmosphere is quiet and relaxing, which we really appreciated, you can actually have a conversation without loud music in the background.

The menu has a great variety of options, from pasta and pizza to chicken and seafood entrees. We started with an appetizer platter that came with olives, hummus, and bread, and everything was extremely tasty. It was also surprisingly filling while we waited for our entrees.

For our main dishes, we ordered a pizza and the Diavolo pasta, and both were delicious! Everything came out well-cooked, flavorful, and fresh. We really enjoyed the food, ambience, and service throughout our visit.

Overall, we had a great experience and would absolutely recommend Vaccaro’s Trattoria if you’re looking for a nice Italian restaurant in the Akron area. Just keep in mind that prices are on the higher side, we spent around $70 per person, but the overall experience was very enjoyable.“

“GREAT on every count !!!!!!!“

“We had a party of 12. This was a family get together. We had two servers, shame on me can’t remember their names, they were attentive and we wanted for nothing. The food was phenomenal and service was the same! This place is beautiful and cozy! I highly recommend ❤️“

“I've been back in Akron for over a year and finally found some Italian food with seasoning. I just finished a lovely Calzone that was excellent. I could see all the extra items that I added and the food was fresh. When I ask for extras, I want to see and taste them. Thank you to San Marino for making that happen. It was delicious.“

“The greatest deli and assortment of food in Akron!“

“Excellent pizza! Best I’ve had in Ohio“

“Owned by a father and son, a mom and pop shop. Pizza, pasta, sandwiches, salads, calzone, burgers. Very tasty pizza, crunchy crust, new York style 👌🏼🍕freshly made. Very friendly owners, clean atmosphere, and quick service.“

“Food was so good! The artichokes were amazing, truffle fries were really yummy as well. The mixed veggies were great as well. My boyfriend got chicken alfredo and loved the chicken.

The bartender and food runner were super friendly and helpful. You could tell they cared about our experience.“

“Went for lunch and it was everything I expected. My chicken alfredo was cooked perfectly. The chicken was seasoned just right and so tender you could cut it with your fork. The pasta was the excellent. Even bring a lunch portion I had more than enough to enjoy there and still bring some home for late night snacking.
The server was very knowledgeable and pleasant.
Will not be waiting so long to go back in the future.“

“I love their food! The staff is always friendly and efficient. I just wish the restaurant was open for dine in service again. And I am sad that someone said they are closing. I hope that is not true! They have THE. BEST. Carrot cake!“

“We learned this evening that Parasson’s has pulled from their menu the Italian Wedding Soup and Chicken Alfredo. The owner stated his father didn’t have Alfredo on the menu and he isn’t either. As far as the wedding soup, the explanation given was simply, the kitchen runs out of soup at the most inconvenient times. However, our waitress said if enough request to bring the soup back, it will be brought back. BRING BACK THE WEDDING SOUP!!“

“best tasting Calzone I've had in years. Very impressed after a not so great experience in Kent“

“Great pool table in akron ohio.“

“I was there today for a luncheon with my widows group. I ordered the 4 pc mixed chicken with jojo’s and salad bar. Everything was good and our server, Christine, was awesome. I ordered spaghetti with meat sauce to go for my home bound husband. I was disappointed that it did not come with bread nor salad. I didn’t have much time to check the prices but was a little shocked when my total bill was $31.70. Since you do not offer an item receipt, I have no way of checking the individual pricing. I will definitely check the menu more closely next time.“

“the pizzas and chicken are amazing here.“

“Not going to lie, we went there because starbucks was closing...how nice was it that there was a coffee shop/bar/cocktail spot not too far away that had wifi and a table with an outlet to setup shop.

We were able to finish our project have a few mocktails, chat with some of the locals and find a really chill spot with cool people and good music to get some stuff done and just hang.

We will definitely check this place out again at some point. But the service was great, food was awesome and so were the drinks.

If you are looking for a spot definitely at least check this place out if its not your style.“

“Just like I remember! I used to go on dates with my dad to Mary Coyle when I was growing up. Such amazing memories in that space. Absolutely delightful ice cream. ❤️“
