My only regret, I forgot my leftovers that were going to be my supper! Would not only recommend, but will return when next in area.“

“The food is delicious! Nice atmosphere and friendly people. We’ve been coming here for many years! Our kids who live out of town always want to go to Scarsella’s when they are home!“

“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!!!“

“Had the best time in their beautifully decorated igloo. Wonderful food and service.“

“I grew up in Youngstown in the 50s, an Italian kid from Brier Hill, so I have pretty strong opinions about my food.
This place should have TEN stars. Daughter had eggplant parmigiana. I had the beans and greens and the veal braciole with penne pasta. The sauce was the best! Veal was tender. I was going to eat half but it was SO good! Coffee was dark, strong and smooth. Waitress took great care of us, keeping the coffee and bread coming.
Because I had a 40 minute drive home, I forsook the Negroni. Next time, and there will be a next time“

“Error made with my order today at Marinos.. I ordered the Italian Delight and received the Tour of Italy.. when I told the waitress about the error she went to the chef, who refused to come out of the kitchen, and said I would have to pay for both meals if I insisted the error be corrected.. I angrily replied I would go hungry.. the chef came out of the kitchen, discussed the order, brought me the correct meal and only charged me for the meal I ordered.. Its a shame I had to get loud, make a small vocal scene, and be an embarrassment to friends to get the issue resolved.. Waitress was great, food was excellent, and a relaxing atmosphere overall.“

“We had such a fantastic experience at Niccolini’s Italian Restaurant! Our entrées came with a fresh salad and their house-made dressing, which was absolutely phenomenal. The bread they served was soft, warm, and full of flavor.

They even kindly brought out a slice of their pizza for us to try, and honestly it was the best pizza I’ve had in a long time, perfectly flavorful with tons of cheese.

The portions on our entrées were huge and overflowing with food. You definitely get your money’s worth here.

Everything from the service to the food was wonderful. We can’t wait to come back again, and I genuinely don’t understand how there are any reviews under five stars! I can’t wait to bring my entire family here!!“

“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.)“
