40 Best Italian Restaurants near Akron

“My family and I just had a wonderful time here. Food was great! Service was great. Cody S was great! He allowed us time to decide. We didn’t feel rushed. Totally recommend this place.“

“The food from CJ's is amazing, they have some of the best pizza in Ephrata and some of the best staff.“

“Dinner and a show. Everything on the menu is absolutely amazing. “The Show” happens when you sit at Chef’s table and watch them team create one masterpiece after another. I watched them train a new employee to do the same! Pinch and pull the dough- enough sauce, but not too much. Carefully and skillfully place all ingredients! final inspection before the fire and then another after. Watch for this and that before you serve. Pizza will. ever to the same for me.“

“We ate at the Lancaster PA location today. Service was top notch and food was great! Great experience!“

“We have been doing takeout from Caruso's. We get their steak salads, cheeseburger subs, and garlic bread. Their food has always been decent portions and absolutely delicious. When you walk in the door, the staff is welcoming and very friendly. Only down side is the parking - the lot is not very big. It is sometimes difficult to find a place to park.

Parking: Their parking lot is behind the building and on the small side, considering the number of people that go there.“

“The BEST eggplant you will ever experience! Everything is so tasty and the atmosphere is so friendly and inviting - they made us feel like family!“

“Great food, the best Pizza & they have friendly service“

“I ordered for pick up, the mixed cheese sub, with a light amount of cheese, and my order taker, a very nice sweet lady, said she’d go to the kitchen and make sure they put on only the three pieces of cheese I requested! I’ve ordered many times, and she’s always been so friendly and kind.“

“The food and service was so good!“

“Very great place! The strombolis look massive and the prices look amazing! I have never ate here, I've just been looking for a good place for pizza and strombolis and the reviews I have read are unbelievable! So tonight I will be ordering for the first time. Thinking a stromboli or Sicilian pizza. Keep your eye out for my review about how the food actually is.“

“We found our way while riding our motorcycle, glad we did great food.“

“This place has become mine and my families go to Italian spot lately. Pretty much order from here once a week and have not been disappointed. Everything we get is always delicious and top notch.

My favorite dish is the Ravioli Alla Maria . Tonight I got just your standard chicken and broccoli Alfredo. I had mushrooms added. Also got the hot and garlic wings.

Everything is amazing as always. Have ordered here enough times now to leave a review.

Best Alfredo sauce in the area IMO as well.

Recommend this place and definitely recommend the ravioli alla maria if you haven't got it yet, it's a must.“

“salad with crab cakes are amazing“

“Wonderful food, fast service and our server was great too. We dined outside and it started to rain a little and she offered us to come inside. We declined and she quickly got us boxes and our checks. The girl at the gelato- not pleasant at all. I sampled two, decided on 1 and then she says to me “the blue mat is down by the bar”. ?? I replied, what am I supposed to do with that. Apparently that is where you now pay for gelato which is not where I paid when I was there 3 months ago. She was rude to previous customer too.“

“Food was delicious, although the portion sizes have been made smaller. Tour of Italy was delicious. Fresh salad, friendly waitress. Just need to refill drinks occasionally.

Parking: Will definitely go back to this place.“

“I absolutely loved the food. My boyfriend and I were very satisfied.“

“Usually very good but totally screwed up my order last night and this morning the guy on the phone told me "maybe" they could give me 10% off my next pizza. Threw it out, total waste of money. �“

“Our server, Rebecca, is excellent. She pays attention to our order and makes sure it is done as requested. The food is very tasty and the restaurant is very nice“

“My favorite Sicilian Pizza!“

I sat in the clean dining room. pizza was awesome! hot and fresh ! it hit the spot ! thank you sal's for the great lunch i will be sure to revisit when I am in the area again 😀“

“Honestly BEST Family owned and operated Pizza and Italian restaurant I ever been at many times. Wish they delivered further but worth it for the great flavor and friendly family atmosphere.

Kid-friendliness: Very friendly family they make everybody feel welcome even children and they do have a children’s menu“

“I have eaten here many of times. The food is always so good. I got two pizza's last night and it was really hard to eat because it had a burnt taste to it. I had gotten two pizza's and they both tasted the same. A little disappointing being I have always had great pizza from here. The burnt taste for me was so bad. Felt like I wasted $40 on pizza. I still give 4 stars because of past experiences.“

“Joe the owner was phenomenal, we are in town for a dance competitin with Dance with Celeste. He accommodated a large order and we messed up and he was awesome
he literally split his personal sandwich that he was having for dinner.

Dietary restrictions: gluten free pizza was delicious“

“Absolutely loved this place! It’s a historic gem filled with so much charm and character. The food was amazing—every dish was flavorful and beautifully prepared. The service was warm and attentive, making the whole experience even better. If you’re looking for great food in a place that feels special, this is it!“

“Absolutely the best subs snd pizza for 30+years!“

“It was our first visit tonight. It was fabulous. Food was fresh and plentiful. Got the Italian Foccoccia sub, and was blown away, so delicious. Lancaster peeps this is a go to and enjoy.“

“Been eating here once a week for a few years and whatever I order is always good!! Friendly people and food is fresh!“

“I just love this place for any italian food. Been going there a long time. I live close by. The food is always good and the staff is always so nice. Thanks Frank and the staff.“

“I finally went inside to eat here after having picked up delicious take-out a couple of times. We were a group of 5 around 7 p.m., about 2 hrs before they closed. The manager was very helpful and inviting, putting some tables together for us and explaining that we order and pay at the counter, and then they'll serve us at the table. Our group included two 80+ year-old guys who both loved the pizza and lasagna they ordered; other items were delicious as well, including a giant Greek salad.

We were gathering the night before a funeral and had not been together in at least two years, so although it could have been a rough night for us, the welcoming staff and delicious food made for a really relaxing family meal. I'll definitely be back!“

“It's been a while since I been here and it didn't disappoint either. I ordered the Special CheeseSteak and wow, Grand slam again!!! As I said before, Best outside of Philadelphia. Our waitress was the best too, Jordan, she had a great personality and was a real gem. Great job in the kitchen. Next time is pizza“

“Fantastic food, and experience! We are big fans of A&M Manheim but we moved out of Manheim earlier this year and the extra drive to pick up food there was a pain, so I was thrilled when this location opened up closer to our new home! So far we've both dined in and ordered take out at this location, and we have been been incredibly pleased with everything we've gotten, and with the service. We recommend them to everyone and will continue to dine with A&M Ephrata!“

“Highly recommend used it for an engagement party. Good service good food good drinks all around a great time!!“

“People like to hate on Olive Garden, but what they do, they do well. Service has always been good, atmosphere is nice with a slight dose of charming kitsch, and you aren't going to walk away hungry. The food isn't spectacular, but it hits the spot. I always enjoy their salad and the raspberry lemonade is also really good. I only wish they had meat sauce without pork in it and didn't overcook their pasta.“

“My husband and I enjoy the variety of pizza and subs we purchase from this location. We order several times per month. Their Italian hoagie, cheesesteak subs and ham & onion pizza are our favorites. Great customer service and fair pricing!“
