20 Best Italian Restaurants in Dayton

“we love coming to eat there We drive all the way from West Chester.“

“It has wonderful Service. really it’s an amazing place to eat! I love it“

“This restaurant would be just another Fazoli’s without their amazing team member, Caitlin. She takes customer service to another level in 2025. She’s friendly, always offers a smile and personalizes each and every interaction with patrons. Not to mention she follows up with customers to ensure their experience is a positive one in the dining room. A+ Caitlin!!!“

“This location was amazing tonight even though they was busy and it was a bit crowded the service was excellent the food was really good and fast our server stayed on top of things and I noticed all of the servers were on top of things with the tables with refills and making sure everything was a great experience. I got this stuffed chicken marsala and my boyfriend got the breaded shrimp with breaded onions and breaded green bell peppers it was right next to the appetizers and it was really good and I know that because I tried his food LOL my son got the pizza with french fries and he was happy with the pizza it was really cheesy in the portion was excellent for the kids menu and a great price at that“

“I was born and raised in Italy, I was also a waitress there and served many pizzas. Troni is by far the closest to authentic Italian pizzas in the entire area. Absolutely delicious and well priced. Our family has always enjoyed it as well as the service.“

“This was my 1st time here and I already am planning my next visit! I loved our waitress Jamie! She was amazing! 5 stars meal! We got the Mo special and it was DELICIOUS! 🤤 so happy to support a local restaurant!“

“And unusually off-pace night for Olive garden. We were first seated at a table by the windows and the draft and cold temperature was too much to take. We were accommodated and moved to a corner interior table (without a smile or empathy). Then in an unusual and unfortunate situation, I had to use my coaster to kill a small bug on the corner ledge. This has not happened before and I assume it's just part of being in the world as there were no other occurrences. Nonetheless, It was a distraction. Food there is usually good. The salad is always fantastic. Service was fine“

“They’re giving back to their community in a tremendous way. That’s honorable and worthy of recognition.“

“Decor is cool inside. Food was very good, maybe a bit pricey for some items but overall good. *NOTE* They have a Negroni cocktail hour from 4:30-6:30 IF YOU SIT AT THE BAR. It was our first time there so we ordered a couple at the table and found out later sitting at the table does not count. The waitress was going to try and give us the drinks for that rate but it didn’t happen. I wouldn’t have ordered the $25 appetizer knowing the drinks were that much. Lessons learned I guess. I would go again, but just be more cautious on what I order is all ☺️“

“Simply the Best! Food, service and atmosphere is always top notch.“

“Ok so we’ve dined at Old Scratch Troy location about 6 times since it’s opened. Waited a bit to give them time to really get in their groove. While I do recommend the place. Pizza is good, staff is nice (especially Amanda at the bar) and shareables are tasty. That said I would like to see the food’s taste be a little more consistent. My favorite dish is the fire roasted cauliflower but sadly it hasn’t been prepared the same way twice with the last two times it was barely seasoned at all once it was almost raw. Hopefully as training continues they will fix that issue.“

“We had lunch on Saturday and as usual all of our meals were delicious! Our server Karugu was fantastic!! Friendly, efficient, quick to refill our drinks with a great smile! We started off with pretzel bites, hot and delicious! Started off with cups of gumbo, perfect on a cold rainy day! Great soup loaded with shrimp, chicken and sausage. Then the 4 of us had deluxe pizza, a tuna melt, chicken quesadilla and the Italian sub. Everything was great. The pizza crust was crispy and light. Perfect!“

“Detroit style pizza, nuff said. This place has made me second guess whether I love NY style or Detroit style. Getting a four corners can feed four people. The slices are huge amd fairly priced.
Also, the crew is always on point and friendly.“

“Every time I have been here (a lot), I have been impressed. The food is excellent & the service is great. I would & have recommended this place. My very favorite!!!“

“This place has great food and a busy but nice atmosphere. The staff are always very nice. This last visit there were some issues getting the checks/bills right but other than that, service was good.

The portion sizes are good for a meal. I typically would not have left overs.

Price is a bit higher but I feel that way about eating almost anywhere these days.“

“I’m a very frequent visitor of the east third location always get the same thing always leave a tip on 4 occcasions now I have picked my food up and left just for them to call me asking why I didn’t pick my food up wich I most definitely did each time so me and my wife got to thinking why only thing I can come up with is the gentlemen each time as been a guy/ manager named Noah I know cause I asked next time while figuring this out since I leave a tip and tell him keep the change what he has for doing is keeping money giving my food and remaking the food to look as tho I’m not picking up smooth move but I’m sure it’s costing them I don’t want no issues in regards but they better look an see I’m not stupid neither are they consider this your top Gionino’s I’m not wrong I know I’m
Not“

“I miss when it was on Smithville food was way better taste ys had it a few times on my amazon rout just not the same but biscuits and gravy are on point“

“Ordered delivery which they said would be an hour. Called one and a half hours later to enquire about order. Without hesitation they checked, said it was on the way and that it would now be discounted. Love the customer service with giving a discount without having to ask.“

“The Turin trio was awesome. Huge portions, free soar dough bread(2) with butter spread. Good prices for what you get. Cool interior with an actual trolley car inside. Very nice staff also. Highly recommend this place.“

“Perfect Pizza ever time for over 50 years !!! I never visit Dayton without getting a Cassanos Pizza EXCELLENT customer service!“
