20 Best Italian Restaurants near Youngstown

“Buck, the owner is extremely personable. It is a great, laid back experience. The current kitchen puts out very tasty food. Another awesome aspect is going in on a morning or evening when Jess M. is bartending. She is extremely proficient. When she is getting to know you, she will immediately remember your drink of choice and have it on the bar soon after you walk in and before you get to a seat. Boy to have a memory like that. By the way she will remember your name too. Not many ordinary people can give themselves credit for that. It is obvious she respects and likes the customers and regulars. Great customer service. You won't ever feel forgotten. You are in good hands when you go in on her shift. Highly recommend.“

“My little is absolutely OBSESSED with your pasta! There’s no better day than when she gets to eat her butter bread and sketti. You can’t go wrong no matter what you order.“

“Best pizza I've ever had. Fabulous crust and sauce. It's an hour away for me but I'll be going back often. It's that good!!!!!“

“This restaurant is absolutely delectable. From the moment you walk in, you can tell everything is made from scratch with real care and craftsmanship. The attention to detail is off the charts—nothing goes unnoticed. The hand-cut French fries? Unreal. Salads are clearly prepped to order, and the freshness comes through in every bite. You can just tell quality is their top priority, both in flavor and presentation.

I ordered the pesto and mozzarella burger (which, sadly, I devoured too quickly to grab a photo), and it was hands-down the best I’ve ever had. Cooked to perfection, full of flavor, and paired with those amazing fries—just wow.

The atmosphere is surprisingly high-end, with linen napkins and a classy yet warm and welcoming vibe. Service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better.

One of the most impressive things is the rotating menu. It’s clear the chef puts genuine care into crafting a diverse and thoughtful selection. You don’t just eat here—you experience it.

I’ve already pinned this place on my map because I will be back. If you're looking for top-tier food in a setting that feels both upscale and inviting, don’t sleep on this place.“

“Family always enjoys it. Love the bread“

“Great food, traditional western PA Italian fare, like grandma used to make! We love the chicken parm.
Right now, I'm eating their $12 chicken parm special, and it tastes great, and it so big I'm splitting it with my wife. It comes with a salad and a piece of cake for dessert“

“Had my wedding here this past weekend and we received so many compliments on the atmosphere and food! I can't even begin to explain how amazing Mike and the staff were at the venue! Mike was so attentive, answered every crazy question I had the past year and made sure our day was perfect. The staff were so kind and hard working. Our wedding Turned out amazing thanks to disalvos!!!“

“So much flavor going on in my mouth !! Perfect dinner with my mom! Jennifer was our server and she’s amazing! We WILL be back !!!!!“

“Any time I’m in town we order pizza ..“

“Had a fabulous meal in a gorgeous outdoor setting! Highly recommend making this a stop for authentic Italian food.“

“The Italian food was very good. I had the squash ravioli with brown butter sauce, and the flavor was unique to me. My boyfriend enjoyed the grilled chicken Parmesan over pasta. The entrees and soup needed more seasoning. The atmosphere is cheerful with glass chandeliers and flowers. It’s a great place to eat when departing or returning from Myrtle Beach. Parking is still free and the restaurant is ADA ACCESSIBLE“

“Brought my niece here and the staff and general manager made her feel so special. Worth coming here just for the incredible customer service!!“

“Super nice people and great pizza! Their white pizza is excellent.

Their website is tough to navigate, that’s the only thing they could improve. When you go to the website it says “See Our Menu” and nothing comes up. Posting a copy of their menu with this review because they are definitely worth a try!“

“Highly recommend!!! we stopped out tonight for dinner. We tried the 10oz. meatball it was AMAZING! I had a salad my husband had a fish sandwich. the fish unfortunately had an area that wasn't done and they right away fixed it. We don't complain ever and understand it happens but they went above and beyond to apologize!! we underatand it happens. The fried dough bites were positively heaven in your mouth. service was excellent! and we will return again!! ❤️🤗“

“Best wings & pizza in the area! The pizza is always consistent & cooked perfectly every time and the owner and staff are always tentative and friendly! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“For my first father's day party, I decided on Ginos Pizza Of Ligonier, it did not disappoint. We ordered a party pizza with cheese, mushrooms, pepperoni, and half with sausage. The toppings were proportional to the large squares, nothing was overwhelming. The pizza was cooked fantastically, the massive party pizza had a great undercarriage and crust. Nothing was floppy, saggy or greasy. It was a huge hit at my house tonight, even with other food options. This pie disappeared quickly. I also picked up one of their many honey options they have in store, and I chose the Mike's Hot Honey which paired extremely well with the party pizza. It was a very satisfying pizza and it received 20 thumbs up tonight.“

“What should have been a great family experience turned out to be a headache-- not a regular headache, but more like a migraine. There were so many issues that I'm not sure where to begin-- the online menu is not the menu presented to us, the waitress had to get simple answers from others (which shows the lack of training). When the waitress asked who ordered the 1 meal, we told her that 2 people ordered that item. About 10 mins later, we questioned when that item would be out and realized that she never put it through, so 1 family member had table scraps for a meal. The seats are ok for comfortability, which is good because we had waited approximately 90+ mins to receive our food. Pizzas were flying out the door, while my young children waited the 90+ mins for their's to land on our table. We waited for our bills-- then waited again because the waitress had to be reminded to take money off the appetizers due to happy hour. Then waited awhile for our bank card... and again to get pens. If you have 2- 3 hours to spare, then this place is a gem, but you're better off going to see a movie then getting dinner elsewhere since it would take the same amount of time 🤷‍♀️“

“Cut from a freshly made dough, hand thrown to perfection and tossed with just the proper amount of toppings to create the Biggest Slice In Town. A pie definitely worth a second visit, perfect for a family meal, a gathering of friends or just a fresh slice of pie to enjoy and wind down with after a long day at the office.“

“I consider Pizza Sienna to be very good-better than any national chain pizza shop. I am a fan of simple pizza, but the Sienna Pie is my favorite! It is loaded with just the right toppings. Pizzas have a nice crust, ample cheese, sauce, and toppings, and a good blend of flavors!“

“Steelers training camp diner was great! Our service from the beginning was prompt and our waitress was attentive the entire time.

Ordered the mozzarella sticks and zucchini planks with sauce and Pepperoni pizza. Everything were hot n fresh! Love you sweet sauce…it’s a change of pace from traditional pizza. Must try!“
