“Fantastic food, my wife loves the meatball splash and the rest of us always look forward to the NY pepperoni pizza. We order the arugula salad and put it on top of the pizza, fold, and enjoy. It's an excellent combination and the food is top notch!“

“Hello my name is John. I like to get a triple black olive and triple green olive pizza. It is so good. I eat every slice and then come back and eat every slice again. Thank you chef Joey for my wonderful pizza. I will eat every slice again. Thank you. Good night.“

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

“My friends and I came here for the first time yesterday for the Thursday Girl Dinner! It was delicious! I do wish they had another option for the Girl Dinner other than the Spicy Vodka pasta, it was pretty spicy and not everyone likes spicy food!“

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

“Really great food and generous drinks. They could use an espresso machine and some bread with dinner both would be a big improvement. We had the pasta Bolognese, breaded artichoke hearts, and salads. Everything was great. Highly recommend this place.“

“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!“

“Don't sleep on Danny Boys. Their pizza is amazing. The crust has a good chew, sauce is flavorful and a perfect amount of toppings. Their meatballs are tender and not spongy. The honeybee pizza is worth the trip alone. I always get carry out and everything is hot and fresh.“

“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“

“New higher end Italian! Staff is awesome!!! Food was fabulous! A little loud but that’s ok!!!!“

“I've been back in Akron for over a year and finally found some Italian food with seasoning. I just finished a lovely Calzone that was excellent. I could see all the extra items that I added and the food was fresh. When I ask for extras, I want to see and taste them. Thank you to San Marino for making that happen. It was delicious.“

“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 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.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“Great meals and service! Thank you“

“Best pizza west of Philadelphia“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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.“

“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“

“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!“

“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“

“Always great pizza, love the sausage sandwiches too“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Wow! Food was delicious! Pizza was cooked perfectly with crispy pepperoni and no greasy crust. Chicken was awesome, as usual!“

“I went into going here with a bit of bias and an family discount due to my cousin however the pizza was amazingly tasty, the service was great I was able to make a custom pizza and basically made a delicious chicken pesto pizza with the chef even coming out and asking me if he got it right. ONE THING I will say is it is pricey and I did get a discount as I said but price is worth it for the food. Overall whenever I visit I will be coming back here and dining in maybe take out as well!“

“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.“

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

“Great place to grab a slice and a coke for lunch. Only 5$. The take out chicken Parm was amazing. Haven't been for dinner but it looks cozy. Doesn't seem like it's fancy. Just good home cooked Itralian food. Oh and the service is great. Warm and welcoming not hurried. One day I will be down for dinner.“

“We love @Zeppes bistro & Bar. Great service, delicious food! Have been customers for decades“

“the pizzas and chicken are amazing here.“

“I had the calamari appetizer with a Bianca and verde pizza. The pizza was crushed garlic, arugula, Evo, cheese. Definitely enjoyed the flavors.“

“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.“

“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. ❤️“
