50 Best Italian Restaurants near Boardman

“One of the worst dining experience I ever had. The noise from the kitchen was so loud we couldn't even talk. My wife's fish was way over cooked my pork chop was tough that I did not take it home. The price was way to high. I eat out 3or4 times a week and always at finer restaurants I would not ever go back.“

“Love to sit at the bar and eat. Food always great.“

“Combine Brothers in Boardman is amazing! The place feels cozy and inviting. The menu has lots of choices, and the pasta is the best! The Alfredo is so creamy and delicious. The staff is super friendly and helpful. If you want great food and service, you have to try Combine Brothers!“

“Best deli!! Great owners!! Everything on their menu is absolutely amazing!“

“A must have for me with any meal at Antone’s is the Monkey Salad….I love, love, love this salad. Next, if I’m not getting the crazy delicious lasagna or some other pasta dish, then it’s a Knuckle sammie. It’s a lovely eatery and I really like the decor inside as well. Beautiful plated meals but for sure come with an appetite or else you are taking a doggie bag home. They serve up big portions for sure.

Parking: Parking is in the plaza and it is plentiful.

Kid-friendliness: Fun place to take the kids for some Italian eats.“

“Me and my dad are regular customers at this restaurant ever since 5 years ago, they even know our names. Even my mom's name, even though she barely ever comes with us. The food is astonishingly good, the kids meal is enough to feed me for two days, the managers always treat us with the utmost respect, and the atmosphere and decor was amazing. 5 stars, I eat here every week or so, and will continue to do so.“

“We dined here first time last night for our anniversary. The Rome style theme of the restaurant did not dissapoint! We ordered the Lamb lollypops and Polpo ( octopus) for appetizers, and both were outstanding! We followed with Prima, our choices were one of the nights special of a pork ragu over pasta and the other entree was the papparadelle ragu. Both very delicious and quite filling! Ending our dinner with the Tiramisu ( best i have ever had!) and gelato were the perfect way to celebrate our day! Please understand that in the style of food service in Italy, you are expected to sit and savor your meal, so this restaurant follows suite. Loved it and will definitely return!“

“We ate here last night & everyone was friendly & the food was all delicious. Matayo was an excellent server giving us suggestions & taking great care of us. It was a wonderful experience!“

“We love Papa GeGe’s and the staff AND the food. The food is AMAZING. We love that it’s a BYOB. I think the veal Parmesan is the best I have ever had. I ordered it twice. The soup is amazing. We really enjoyed the cannoli. Beast Italian food around, hands down!!!“

“From Florida to Ohio, this is the best Italian Restaurant hands down! Authentic and reminds me of my mother’s sauce. Always have to argue with myself over whether to have braciola or cavatelli. Usually the braciola wins out and it’s fantastic. Plus very few restaurants even make it. You can’t go wrong and will not be disappointed. if you’re craving good Italian food this is the place to go!“

“I'm a former Ytown resident who came back to town for a visit. Hadn't been here in years. The updates they've made are nice, the service was good, and the food was just as amazing as it always has been. Those dinner rolls are incredible! Chicken parm was on point.“

“The food is delicious!. The establishment was clean and service was great! Their sauce is to die for:.Much better then some of your more expensive Restaurants. We will be back soon! P.S. You should advertise that your under new ownership!?“

“We have been eating in this Italian Restaurant for 24 years. The quality of the food and the preparation are excellent. Service and sanitation has always been very good. Every time that I return to visit Austintown area we always dine here. We will be back!

Kid-friendliness: Children are welcome.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessibility are excellent.“

“Best NY style pizza in all of Ohio. The food and staff are amazing!“

“My family has gone to the Austintown restaurant for years, and are rarely disappointed, except for interactions with the owner, whose behavior is deplorable. Try the Four Seasons pizza, the Capellini Mille Fiore or the Mussels and Clams Linguine. Casual and moderately priced, large portions. Howland location is better.“

“This place is incredible, and their Roman-style pizza is the best. I had the opportunity to vacation in Italy 2 years ago, and Risi’s pizza takes me back to that authentic Italian food. Fresh ingredients and cooked to perfection! My girlfriend and I ate in the restaurant tonight and enjoyed live music. What a treat! I look forward to supporting Risi’s for years to come!!“

“. I got the half sheet and it was delicious! The service was great also! Definitely will be back!“

“Really nice place. I had the baked penne- it was fabulous! It was ready in no time. I can't believe how quickly they prepared it. I can't imagine it was already made-to-order since I requested it without mushrooms. For my salad I had the cajun dressing which is a must-try. The bread rolls were great. I was there during happy hour, so the beer price was good. For dessert, wow, I had the cookies and cream- talk about a real treat. Scarlett was my server and she was so great- very attentive and got me what I needed. I left very satisfied and looking forward to another visit! And keep up the great work, Scarlett!“

“Antone’s was always my favorite restaurant growing up in the Youngstown area. When I found out there was an Atone’s in columbiana, we drove over the state line to dine. It did not disappoint. We started with the fried cheese. It was cooked to perfection. And the Antone’s Monkey Salad is just the best. It tasted exactly how I remembered it. I got the whole salad so I had leftovers. And the chicken parm, was delicious. My husband ordered the chicken français, and he said it tasted odd. We couldn’t pinpoint the flavor. But he said he wouldn’t order that again. I will definitely be back because I enjoyed the food. Having 1 waitress on a Friday night is unacceptable. The table next to us sat for over 20 mins for waters. The waitress was working very hard. So it was not her fault. This blame is on management. That is completely unacceptable to have 1 waitress with a full restaurant.“

“Always great service for the best Italian dishes. Food comes out steaming hot the way I like it. Have only had fabulous tasting meals. Can never finish all the meal and get to take home for next day. Small place but can not go wrong with this place.“

“we had a large party tonight and the staff was awesome and the food was so good. it was the first time being there also“

“Tavola Catering catered Youngstown City Schools annual awards recognition event - Youngstown Honors. Tammy was amazing to work with! Staff were friendly and professional.The food was excellent and the presentation didn’t disappoint. I look forward to working with her again in the future.“

“first time going. little pricey, but hands down best pizza I've ever had. they should bring one back down to Niles for sure. I'll def be back“

“Last night we had dinner here with a party of 8 people. The food was great, the drinks were delicious and our waitress (maybe Gianna?) was so sweet and kind. We all loved her and we can be a lot when we all go out to dinner. 😂“

“It’s just always wonderful“

“Today was my first time in and it was a wonderful experience! The staff were so friendly and patient. Customers were equally friendly. The selection of food was great. The food was amazing! We will definitely be back!“

“That pizza burger! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“Moved to Eastside of Youngstown two plus years ago. Decided to search for the best marinara sauce in an italian restaurant on the west side. Just found it at Trax! The restaurant isn't stylin' on the exterior but the food served there is DELICIOUS ! Don't know how many times I drove by there and never noticed it. Make it a point to search out it's location ,you'll be glad you did. . ( The marinara is the best I've ever had in a restarant, in fact it's all GOOD eating.)“

“Absolutely one of the top thin crust pizzas in the area!! Closet pie to a traditional New York thin crust and I would put it in the same class. This is one of my new go to!“

“Had lunch there today it was absolutely delicious wood recommend this place for lunch“

“FINALLY got to try Emmanuel's for the first time. I loved it!!!! absolutely delicious pizza! We will be back soon!“

“I actually don’t recommend. What pizza place stops delivering at 8 pm and doesnt deliver at all on other days. Cocas always delivers. Guess they get my business.“

“Ate there for the first time today. Celebrating my wife’s birthday. The food was excellent. We will be back for sure. I highly recommend.“

“Usually friendly service, I'm not sure if the waitress was having an off day but I sat for 15 minutes before I was even asked if I was waiting on anyone or wanted a drink. I ordered an appetizer and it took 20 minutes. 3 couples who came in after me have already been served. I told her I wanted to order and she disappeared. I asked on the status of my appetizer when she reappeared and she said that takes 10 minutes. I said okay, it was at least 15 minutes ago. So far I've been here at least 35 minutes and have just ordered my pizza at 2:08pm. My pizza didn't arrive until 2:32 . The food is good but the service certainly doesn't match. I think in the future we will frequent another location.“

“Seems new and improved! It had been a while since our last visit. The young man working drove through was clean cut, polite, & professional. The food was excellent and the prices are affordable. Thanks for being a quick and convenient place to pick up dinner in Poland!“
