“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.“

“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.“

“What a wonderful restaurant! Food is excellent with prompt service. Very nice atmosphere, clean. Pleasant and courteous staff. I plan to return again soon. Have met several people who have previously dined here and spontaneously positive reviews. *****“

“We had the Shrimp alla Vodka and the Honey Balsamic ”First Class” Airline Chicken. Both were spectacular. The shrimp dish had a nice kick to it and the chicken was cooked perfectly, crispy skin and moist breast meat. The proprietor stopped by our table and was quite congenial. Our waiter Danny was top notch and had an encyclopedic knowledge of the menu.cocktails and wine were perfect accompaniments. Thoroughly enjoyed our evening.“

“The best review I can give on this restaurant is that we have either eaten at the restaurant or had takeout from there more than a dozen times in the past six months. Menu is focused. Anything on it is great. Friendly people don't rush you, good wine selection and even better recommendations when we don't know what we want for wine or dinner. Don't sleep on their pizza. Personal opinion, ask for the thin crust option. We will continue to go back.“

“from a working perspective it's a great place to work“

“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 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 :)“

“My husband and I stopped here for our anniversary! Greeted at the door. Got to pick our own table which was nice. The servers, Kenzie and Niko, were excellent. We ordered mussels for our appetizer and quite a few weren’t open. The broth was delicious. They offered to discount or make more. We chose to make more. So delicious. Very easily taken care of. I had the lemon orzo! Delicious and so was my husband’s Alfredo with shrimp. Complimentary Cannoli for our special day! Delicious! Our drinks were made properly and delicious! We will be back! Thank you for the great experience!“

“First time in tonight, but won't be the last! My shrimp and grits followed by the Chocolate Decadence were to die for - worth every calorie! Impeccable service courtesy of Joan. Highly recommend.“

“The 2 ladies standing at the counter when I first walked in at 6:45 3/15/26 didn’t greet me in any way.. I stood there roughly 2 minutes and they looked at me continued to talk to each other and ignored my presence. So I walked to the bar.. where Brian was very professional, his service was excellent and provided a five star service experience . I give 1 stars to the young ladies at the front. Brian gave me the deciding factor that I would return. Thanks Brian. The food was excellent.“

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

“Fantastic chefs table experience for our anniversary!!! 7 courses with wine pairings! Amazing service and food!!“

“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)“

“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!!“

“I just celebrated my birthday here on Saturday in the Oakwood private room and want to thank you and you're amazing staff for doing such a great job with my birthday dinner. Everything was absolutely perfect. Hannah and Izzy did a phenomenal job. The food was great everything was hot we received everything quickly. Hannah and Izzy handled my large amount of guests so well. My guests even talked about how good of job they did and the reviews they will leave on Google. The space was perfect! I'm sooo thankful I was able to book my 32nd Birthday dinner with y'all. I'll definitely pass the word around about y'all excellent service! God bless each of y'all!!!🙏🏾🤗🎊🎉 Blessings, Brittany Young“

“What an outstanding place to have an event! The General Mgr Dwayne and his team deliver exceptional Customer Service!! They went above and beyond to accommodate our party of 30 plus with short notice. From the servers, cooks, bartender, manager they were very tentative and friendly. The food was very, very good and our guests were very impressed!! I would highly recommend having your next event here or go out for a nice lunch and or dinner. We will return. Not only for the food but quality friendly service. Thank You for a wonderful evening!😊“

“I have no idea why so many people say bad things about this place. I've been going there for the last year or so and have absolutely zero complaints. The food prices are more than reasonable, the food quality is very good and I've never had one single issue with any aspect. People need to stop looking for perfection as they define it.“

“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!“

“the pizzas and chicken are amazing here.“

“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++++“

“Since moving to Ohio a year and a half ago, my family and I have made it a point to try different restaurants around the area. One place that caught our attention was the Spaghetti Warehouse in Akron, located right next to the University of Akron. I first discovered it through DoorDash while picking up orders in the area, and since we’re big fans of Italian food, I suggested we give it a try. We decided to go there as a way to celebrate two special milestones—our daughter moving into her dorm and our son starting 7th grade. The moment we walked in, we were struck by the restaurant’s unique, nostalgic decor. It has an old boardwalk theme, complete with vintage arcade machines like the claw game and a love tester, which both my kids and my wife enjoyed. It gave the place a fun, family-friendly atmosphere. We were greeted and seated by our server, Jackie, who was fantastic throughout our visit. She was friendly, attentive, and very helpful. Unfortunately, while looking over the menu, we noticed several items that were listed but not actually available, which was disappointing. For food, my wife chose to build her own spaghetti with the Pomodoro sauce—a blend of marinara and Alfredo—and she really enjoyed it. She also had the house salad with ranch, which she said was fresh and flavorful. My son built his own spaghetti with meat sauce and two meatballs, and he loved his meal as well. I decided on the 15-layer lasagna, which the menu described as “incredible.” Sadly, I didn’t feel the same—it looked a little burnt, tasted chewy, and reminded me more of a frozen lasagna than something freshly made. Overall, the food was hit-or-miss. My wife and son enjoyed their meals, while mine was underwhelming. The service, however, was excellent, and Jackie really made the experience more enjoyable. If you’re looking for a family-friendly spot with a fun atmosphere and decent spaghetti, Spaghetti Warehouse isn’t a bad choice. Just be prepared for a few menu inconsistencies and don’t expect every dish to live up to the hype.“

“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“

“I recommend the pizza!! Best sauce and crust ever!! So happy Michael Trecaso has his Italian Cuisine here! It takes me back to his “Michael Trecaso Restaurant” near Akron U! I may be a bit biased, as I worked for him when I was in college, but I wouldn’t promote the restaurant if I didn’t love the food!! 5 Stars!!!“
