42 Best Italian Restaurants near Barberton

“Went in with the whole family had great service I believe her name was Morgan she was friendly kind and made us feel at home. The food was great hot and came to the table in a timely manner.“

“First off, their small pizzas are only $10.And the food is subpar but it's good to go. The burgers and banging but the bread falls apart easy so it gets messy. Depending on who you get to serve you depends on the service, not all of them are nice. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting but there's no indoor seating service any longer.(i.e. takeout only)“

“I have to give You guys a Great review o. that Cauliflower crust. I recently tried one from another local place. I think there was 0 Cauliflower in theirs. But I could taste the difference in your crust. It was delicious. Thank you“

“Their food is so fresh and delicious. I love this place.“

“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.“

“We went to celebrate my wife's birthday. The food and service were awesome as always. Collin A paced the evening perfectly. My only beef is that a restaurant of this quality and stature charges a 2.5% processing fee for credit card use.“

“We used Dontino’s to cater our daughter’s Air Force commissioning and college graduation party this weekend, and wow. House full of tough critics, all 100% Italian, people were raving about the food all night long.

The wedding soup was outstanding. The chicken parmesan is always on point. And the cannolis? I honestly have never seen 50 cannolis disappear so fast in my life.

Our menu included pasta, meatballs, Chicken parm, wedding soup, a beautiful salad with a generous amount of bottled dressing, grated cheese, bread, butter, and cannolis, all with an assortment of serving utensils.

I cannot neglect to mention that gluten-free options are available, which is not always the case. GF penne pasta and grilled chicken were available to accommodate our guests with food restrictions.

The team at Dontino’s packaged everything perfectly, helped load up our car, and the entire experience was first class from beginning to end. You can tell they really care about what they do.

Anthony, thank you for including a special gift for our graduate🍾 Such a nice touch.

Highly recommend“

“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!“

“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 here, from Columbus. The food was excellent! Sauce, pastas, salads were all fresh, scratch made and made to order.Absolutely delicious, from the stuffed spicy banana peppers, insulate salad, lasagna bolonese and the meatballs, mama mia!!! Wish you were in Columbus!! Desert! The dark chocolate love cake with toasted coconut and the Gelato were out of this world!! I now know how Gelato should taste and feel as you let it melt in your mouth!!! An absolute treat!!“

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

“I always come to this Piada and it is always good. This time around I ordered cannoli chips but did not receive them in my online order. I called and the situation was rectified immediately. The staff and manager were SO nice and apologetic about the mishap. The rest of our order was PERFECT. We will definitely be back :)“

“Food = A, Value = A, Cheap silverware = F, Service = A, Atmosphere = C. The brick wall in the dining room makes the restaurant louder than it should be. The unneeded music also detracts from the experience by adding more noise. Nice water glasses and tablecloths add some class.“

“GREAT on every count !!!!!!!“

“My waitress Alexis was the best! I ordered the Salmon entree and it was so delicious! The bread and oil were the best I’ve ever tasted! This was my first visit and I’ll go back!“

“From start to finish - cocktails to desserts - everything was excellent. Our first visit. Everyone in our party was pleased with the restaurant selection. Divine did not disappoint. We'll definitely be back.“

“I'm so happy i heard about this place and decided to give it a try. The person that helped me at the register/answered the phones was so incredibly kind, and the food was amazing. We loved the pizza and their jo-jo's are as good as they claim to be. 10/10 experience. We will definitely be back!“

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

“Our dinner was very good . Wife had the chicken and Jo Jo’s . I had veal parmigiana but because we have never been there before I also got a mini pepperoni pizza to try . It all was very good . We will definitely be back.“

“Hand wipes in pizza crust Manager knew about it told us we could eat the pizza ask for a refund would not give us one“

“I think this is the best pizza in the Fairlawn/Copley area, especially if you like NY style. Only minor gripe is I wish they had online ordering, but calling in a takeout order is also pretty easy. Brighten Brewing next door is also a great place to stop in if you've never been.“

“Last night my husband and I decided to try Luciano’s. When we walked in we were greeted and asked if we wanted to try some complementary champagne. We declined because we are not drinkers but that was a great way to introduce your restaurant.
Once seated our waiter greeted us and we ordered drinks. He came back and told us about the specials. He was very detailed with his descriptions of the food. We already knew what we wanted but it was nice to know the options.
I ordered the chicken fettuccine Alfredo and my husband ordered the table side cheese wheel.
He had a cheese wheel experience while we were in Florida on a vacation and wanted to try it again.
My Alfredo was delicious, lots of sauce and was hot! The waiter brought out the cheese wheel with my husbands cooked linguine pasta to the table. He started melting the cheese in the wheel, then put the pasta in and tossed it in the cheese! Just to clarify, the pasta is cooking on a separate pan then added to the cheese wheel to be covered in cheese. The meal was hot and delicious. The wheel does not cook the pasta!

We then ordered desserts. I ordered the cannoli dip, my husband the affogato. Both were very good.
We definitely will go back and definitely will recommend!“

“I always get the lasagna. It's better than some more expensive Italian restaurants. Unfortunately for the 1st time the noodles were a bit hard at the restaurant in Fairlawn.
The waitress was great and the mgr offered to make another one for me but I already had 2 bowls of soup and was almost already done.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Absolutely loved this place! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming, laid-back, and full of good energy. The staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely made us feel taken care of without being overbearing.
The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care—every bite hit. Drinks were perfectly made and came out fast, which is always a win. Whether you’re stopping by for a casual night out, good conversation, or just great vibes, this spot delivers.
Clean, well-run, and full of character. You can tell they take pride in what they do. Definitely a go-to spot and 100% worth coming back to. Highly recommend! The owner is really a great guy and very respectful.“

“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!“

“Best Pizza EVER“

“The best pizza (especially the pepperoni delight) and the best salad garlic dressing! 10-10 would recommend!“

“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!!“

“Great pool table in akron ohio.“

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

“We absolutely love our Twisted Tomato in Stow! We order from them every Friday. Fresh, hot pizza, wings, and JoJo’s! The prices are great for the amount you get!“

“Great atmosphere and decor! Delicious cocktails. Amazing bourbon selections. And the pizza made to perfection can stand alone! You won’t be disappointed!“

“Great staff and a fine atmosphere (I did not take advantage of the speakeasy next door this time!). The food was pretty good, especially the salad, although my pizza was a bit too greasy (I ordered pepperoni, so that's partly on me). Prices are reasonable and the time to wait was slight. Nice restaurant in a good area.“

“Ordered to go and there was a hiccup that kept us waiting quite a bit. The manager was really kind & remade our food so it was all fresh, included 2 free desserts and a $20 gift card. That was really kind to rectify the situation that way without us even asking. We got home and dug right in - the food was delicious! Good customer service :D“

“They provided us lunch today at Valley College. Very good pasta, pizza and salad! I will definitely order from here soon. Thank you!“

“the pizzas and chicken are amazing here.“

“Antonio’s did a great job feeding the Highland football team. Food was great, warm and very well priced. They even put the meals in individual servings for each player. Recommend for a good meal!“

“We placed a delivery order and upon receiving the order realized one of the pizzas was missing toppings. I called and spoke to the store manager, Patrick, he apologized and said they would not only remake it BUT also redeliver! Mark was our driver and was very kind and also apologetic when he redelivered the new pizza! This is absolutely AMAZING customer service and they have DEFINITELY earned our continued business!“

“Thank you for sponsoring northwest youth baseball and softball!! We appreciate it!“

“I ordered a chicken dinner. The chicken was extremely succulent and well prepared. The hot sauce and cole slaw were superb and the dinner roll was out of this world. I can’t think of anything that could be improved upon! Keep up the great work. A++++“

“Delicious breakfast and beautiful interior!
Absolutely loved this place. The aesthetic is stunning with gorgeous lighting and trailing vines, creating a really relaxing atmosphere. The breakfast burrito was sooo good, and the omelet breakfast was fresh, hearty, and delicious. Excellent coffee and a great space to sit back and enjoy the morning. Very welcoming staff. Highly recommend!“

“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. ❤️“
