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!!!!!“

“Was there for a funeral gathering. From the moment we walked in to the moment we left, the service was top notch. The food from the appetizer’s to the buffet served lunch was delicious. They served an array of desserts that should have satisfied everyone. I had coconut cream pie which was the best I’ve ever had. We had a wonderful experience at Rizzo’s and I would recommend them for this type of gathering.“

“Very attractive restaurant in the upper story of what appears to be a converted house. A bar is in the lower floor.

Clean, minimalist “country” decor, attentive wait staff, and a reasonably varied menu at better price points than lesser establishments in the area. Order a simple meal of a side salad and their open faced roast beef sandwich. Very generous portion of profoundly tender slices of pot roast, topped with some French fries, onion ring garnish, and a well flavored gravy. Would return. A dining oasis in what otherwise seems mostly a culinary desert in the greater Latrobe area.“

“We reserved their banquet hall for a wake. Food was very good and there was plenty of it. I only saw one server handling the room and she did a wonderful job keeping the food stocked and cleaning up the tables.
I did not get her name but she was fantastic!“

“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!!!“

“I have been going there for 30 plus years & most recently today for lunch. The food was a bit above average & the service in the bar area with Zackie was much less than to be expected for a restaurant of this caliber. Not sure if she hasn't been trained properly or just not cut out to be a server. As anyone that is a "Foodie" would know, great service can compensate for many short comings. I will go back for one more experience due to the fact maybe it was just a off day. Regards Michael“

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

“LET ME TELL YOU... the other night we stopped after my daughter softball game. I had their pizza during one of their festivals but living 45 mins away never got to eat there. I was SO delighted when the lady (im sadden i didnt get her name) said she would still serve us even tho it was almost 730 and apparent full house. Being a waitress of a little ma pa shop at one time myself I know how annoying that can be. I could tell she was ready to clean up and go home, but she did a wonderful job serving us and the food was 🤌🏻😋 but what was really touching was her regular, Frank; an older gentleman just trying to make it in this world. She knew him and cared for him just like family. Even knew him well enough to know if he got a talking my daughter could sneak into the restroom and out before he knew it. I recommend and would go back over and over again, this is a true definition of made with love!“

“I used to come here as a kid when it was the Blue Angels. What a treat to come back here as an adult when it's Denunzios. The vibe and atmosphere was amazing. Our waiter was very good and the food was phenomenal. I highly recommend the gnocchi made with ricotta and the gorgonzola sauce. Their Denunzios brand of wine was absolutely delicious. The Arnold Palmer teas are just as good as you would expect! You can't find places like this anymore. By far my favorite authentic Italian restaurant. What a gem!“

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

“By far the Best traditional style pizza in Latrobe!!! 100% hands down the best. Ill never eat pizza from any other restaurant in the area again! Besides joios but they use pie crust. Completely different!
If only they stayed open on a Friday night past 9pm id be thrilled. 😑“

“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!! ❤️🤗“

“Yummy Hawaiian pizza style I’ll buy more soon“

“Overall a grade A experience! Such a comfortable place!“

“Atmosphere is typical of a pizza place. Ordered to go and the food was amazing and offered a large serving size. Also had the carrot cake, and it’s the best I’ve ever had…high praise considering I’ve worked in a bakery myself! I will definitely be back.“

“The food is great from pizza to subs! Never had anything bad from here. Dine-in or take-out are your best options. Delivery service not so great. We have received partial orders on occassion, never wrong orders just not everything there! Marlene is friendly and welcoming...as far as other staff I can't comment. Highly recommend!!“

“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 🤷‍♀️“

“I recently had the pleasure of indulging truly in a exceptional pizza with a delightfully sweet flavor profile. And Ive had it multiple times over the years... and everytime is like the first time anytime! The crust was perfectly baked, offering a wonderful texture that complemented the sweet notes beautifully. It was such a positive experience that I was eager to share it with my fiance. I am so pleased that they also enjoyed this incredible culinary creation. This pizza is truly a stand-out treat that I will always will love!“
