Authentic food, modern environment, vintage touches like crystal cocktail glasses and velvet bar stools and the perfect nostalgic dinner music floating around the packed dining room. Just pure excellence. Maddalena’s manages to be cool and modern and classic all at the same time. The music, the centerpiece stylish bar, the wood fire pizza, the community vibe, the elevated cocktails, the lovely service, and the exquisite food makes this place the epitome of taste, in every sense.

Impressive. Stamp of approval from this Italian. 🇮🇹“

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

“Found them by accident on EZCater for our Saturday lunch at work. Boy did I find a gem! I am embarrassed to admit I had never heard of them.

The food was AWESOME!!! I was worried I was sacrificing quality for the 'per person $' that is tough to hit each week. They nailed both!!

Well done Danny Boys!! We do lunch for the employees every Saturday, you are now in the rotation!!“

“GREAT on every count !!!!!!!“

“First time to this Italian restaurant. I came on a whim on my Anniversary with my wife and was amazed at how great the food and service was. I live close and never knew about this wonderful place and so glad we found it. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves Italian food. This small gem is truly a special place. Thank you for making our night great“

“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 :)“

“First time here. Tried the eggplant parm and penne. Absolutely wonderful! I tried someone else’s gnocchi and it was so good! The peach sangria was to die for! Thank you! 🍝“

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

“I have been coming here on and off for years. I have tried many, many dishes, and literally every single one of them is outstanding. I started off coming in here just for pasta, and I was never disappointed. Lately, however, I have been branching out to sandwiches, salads, fried chicken, and tonight, I tried the fried catfish. Every single time I’m here, I am blown away with the quality of the food. I am always greeted with a smile and a warm and friendly hello. They have a nice big room, perfect for parties, and regulars at the bar who always make you feel like family. I love, love, love this place!“

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

“Best pizza west of Philadelphia“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“Our server, Maria, went above and beyond, accommodating every request with a smile. She ensured we had everything we needed and made the evening special. This was more than just a meal—it was an experience! Maria remembered my allergy details and ensured I had a safe and delicious dining experience.“

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

“2nd time I've ordered and received raw fried chicken. Absolutely terrible. Looking forward to the food poisoning I just received. Never again. Overpriced and Undercooked.“

“The food is okay but they always forget something. Go back to get what they forgot and it had been sitting under a heat lamp. They don't bother remaking it or doing anything to make it right.

Update: Updating my review from 3 stars. Got a gift card sent to us for the problem with our previous order. We got a pizza and a grilled chicken salad. All was great this time.“

“This was an amazing gem we stumbled on with the family. The service was great, food was amazing, and the Christmas decorations were mesmerizing!! Kudos to the owners and staff. This place is our new favorite place!“

“Great pool table in akron ohio.“

“I think I found the best Pizza shop around. Great ingredients and full after a few pieces. Plenty for leftovers. Got the Detroit style. I recommend this place over others.“

“we ordered pizza, jos, wings & onion rings. and let me just say that it was worth the wait! the food was amazing. best garlic parm wings I've had in a long time.“

“Excellent pizza.
Soft airy crust perfectly cooked
Great sauce - fresh, flavorful, just a little tang with out being acidic or to sweet.
Topping were beautifully balanced , the old world peperonis had that perfect crisp edge but meaty center.
Not greasy - just the right amount to allow the Parmesan sprinkles and red chili pepper flakes to stick

The only thing I could see done to set it over the top? If it had a light layer of cornmeal on the bottom

Thank you for a wonderful experience while in town.“

“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.“

“Ordered no contact delivery because I was sick. Everything was delicious and requests were followed. Thank you“

“Never a bad meal! Fast, friendly service“

“Ordered via Door Dash. Food arrived fast and well packaged. Calzone was huge and tasted great and so did the sauce. Side salad was big and nice and fresh. Also wanted to try the zeppolis. Huge portion that came with icing type sauce.Growing up in NJ/NYC I am super picky about Italian food and this was great! Thanks.“

“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.“
