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.“

“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.“

“You can't go wrong coming to, Jimmy’s Italian Specialties. Go see for yourself!“

“The food is delicious!. The establishment was clean and service was great! Their sauce is to die for:.Much better then some of your more expensive Restaurants. We will be back soon! P.S. You should advertise that your under new ownership!?“

“First of all the food is wonderful! Our waitress could not have been sweeter. You need to work on your hostess staff. Unprofessional and somewhat rude. I was with a party of four. I live in Arizona now, but born in Youngstown. We were pretty dressed up. I felt the restaurant is special enough to to that. I had a reservation. The hostess took up to the back room with containers of dirty dishes. Learn to read the customer! I refused to sit there. She then took us to a corner booth that had been empty the whole time. She was not very nice about it either. The hostesses are the first impression when you enter the restaurant! Do better!“

“We cannot speak highly enough of this charming Italian place! We were passing through on our way back to Wisconsin and really wanted woodfired pizza. The place was swamped, we later found out due to homes nearby being without power and/or having gas leaks due to a tornado nearby. But, the wait was absolutely worth it. The complimentary bread was delicious, especially the pizza bread!

Our daughter ordered the Margherita pizza and we ordered the fig and ham which also had bacon. I'm more of a fan of bacon than ham so I was apprehensive, but this was so delicious!

Despite being so busy, everyone was warm, and welcoming and as attentive as they could be!

We have amazing food in the town we're from but would love a place like this by us! Well done!“

“LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! My girl and I order it every time we are in the Boardman Area! You HAVE to try the Stuffed Eggplant & the chicken parm!! It’s delicious!

“Nice people, good food!!!“

“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.)“

“It's always nice to get a great experience, that doesn't really exist anymore in a lot of places, but Cameron was amazing greeted me as soon as I walked in was very helpful and couldn't have been any better and these are the types of people you want working for you, thanks for everything Cameron“
