20 Best Italian Restaurants near Youngstown

“Nice little bar/restaurant off the beaten path. Bar isn’t opened but they do serve alcohol. The owner was super friendly and very nice. Other waitresses very nice too. Food is homemade, made fresh daily (as far as I know). Went on a Friday about 5:30pm and it was packed. We sat on bar side which we like because it was less noisy with all the chatter in the dining area. We ordered the small fish platter. 1/2 fish sandwich, fries, coleslaw $10-11 reasonable. I also order a side of the Haluski (only make it during lent). I will say the fish was delish but the fish portion size to the 1/2 roll was rather small. The haluski was fabulous! Not what I was used to but so good! So good I overlooked the $5 side price. Again home made everything. Can’t wait to go back and try other menu items. I highly recommend trying this place.Parking: Lot is a decent size but it fills up fast at peak times and then you have to hunt for street parking.“

“Let me start by saying, this deserves 6 stars. The food was fabulous, the size of the entrees was enormous, the atmosphere was wonderful and our server Kassidy was wonderful. It is not often you get both quality and quantity, but here you will. The menu is filled many unique dishes and appetizers. I included photos of the menu for review. We had the baked goat cheese appetizer which Kassidy recommended and it didn't disappoint. In fact this may be the best appetizer I have ever had. The bread was like nothing I have ever had, it was so good. Besides the wonderful entrees, I would recommend getting this appetizer even if you got nothing else. I probably don't have to add this, but I HIGHLY recommend this Jaffre's location if you are looking for a wonderful meal, delicious food and great service.Thank you again Kassidy for the recommendations and helping make our first time at Jaffres in Latrobe extra special.PS: I forgot to mention their fries are fresh cut and AWESOME!Parking: Very large parking lot in the back, with plenty of available parking.“

“Was there for a birthday party and the food was delicious the pizza and ravioli were very good and the fried chicken was delicious the service was impeccable atmosphere was a bit dated but I wasn't there for the atmosphere!!! And that place was packed!!!“

“I've been going to Valozzi's for years, so I know the drill with pricing. But $50+ for a crab cake w a few asparagus spears is high in Chicago, let alone Greensburg. There weren't many entre options under $40. The $14 calamari appetized was way too salty (I have a very high tolerance for salt, so...)- we mentioned this but didn't get much empathy/feedback. The wine by the glass options were disappointing- not expending them to crack a new bottle of Caymus for 2 glasses, but washing down that $55 crab cake with wine from a $15 retail bottle is disappointing. The best value here has always been the pizza- but we were looking for a nice dinner out to sit down and explore some interesting main courses. The place was fairly empty, but we were seated at a small table against the wall (route 30 was immediately behind the wall outside that table leaned against) despite having reservations. Our waiter was nice, and I'm sure we should have complained more/asked to move/asked for the inedible calamari to be taken off our bill. But I didn't have the energy on a Fri. night so I guess shame on me. Unfortunately, we probably won't be back- spending over $150 with one of us having pizza (+2 glasses of sub-par wine) is not the best choice. Sadly, there aren't many good choices left if you are looking to avoid the big box, processed food choices like Olive Garden and Red Lobster in this area.“

“First time there was out for day in town. My wife and I got some lunch everything was enormous, you better be hungry. Food was delicious I really liked the Italian hoagie and my wife's hamburger ? was bigger than the plate. The pizza we took home to eat.“

“This is an amazing place!! Great food atmosphere staff what more can you ask for. A family member stopped in because they know I love the wedding soup. They did not have any available. The owner specially made this soup fresh for me. I run a business what more can you ask for . If your in Latrobe stop by you will not be disappointed amazing authentic Italian food. Keep up the great work and thanks for the soup was amazing and so greatly appreciated ?“

“This restored warehouse is a fun and unique venue for weddings/events!We had a spectacular time at a wedding this past weekend. Set up well for a wedding with only a few choke points in the space, it hosted the event quite nicely.There is a vintage train car set up in the space, which was perfect for the cookie table, a photo booth, and a nice place to cool off for a moment from the dance floor.Overall, enjoyed the wedding immensely and would recommend your event for this space!“

“Had the privilege of having carasellas for the first time yesterday. I chose a place I've never had for my birthday. Let me tell you got 3 extra large pizzas, all absolutely amazing. We all loved it and will be ordering always from now on. Was hot, fresh and loaded! Keep up the great work, looking forward to trying more items.“

“Highly recommend!!! Nestled in the heart of Ligonier, Gino's Pizza is a local gem that delivers on its promise of amazing pizza experience. Gino's menu offers a variety of pizza options as well as delicious desserts. Beyond their pizzas they also offer BYOB. The service at Gino's is warm and welcoming, with staff members who go above and beyond to ensure that every customer enjoys their experience. This was our first visit after a night of skating with family and friends. We look forward to our next visit!“

“Went for a fundraiser for a friend of mine. First time there. Will definitely go back. Had spaghetti and meatballs. Side salad. It was all delicious. The sauce was very tasty and the spaghetti cooked to perfection. Staff was attentive and friendly.“

“My friend and I went in for lunch. The room was a bit dark… but the food was good. They have really good Italian hoagies. Our server was Jen, she was awesome!! Very attentive and knew the menu like the back of her hand.Kid-friendliness: Our server was super great to my son“

“A friend brought Gino Giannilli’s pizza over for a gathering of good friends! We laughed and had so much fun! Gino’s pizza was everyone’s favorite pizza of all time!!! It brought back memories of nearly 40 years before when my husband took me to Gino’s on our first date! Gino Gianilli’s pizza has the perfect thickness of crust, tangy sauce, and a blend of cheeses no other pizza has.“

“It's one of the more interesting places I've visited in a while. I loved the live music, the food was very good and the interior was like a maze with many passages. This was my first visit to the restaurant. I'll be back!“

“Clearly one of our favorite restaurants in the area. We absolutely love the pizza from here, and in fact I always get one twice the size I know we can eat so we have some to heat up the next day.The other items on the menu are fantastic as well. Our family members have tried many different things from the menu and have never been disappointed in any of the food we have tried, The servings are generous, so we have yet to try something that doesn't end up with a take out box, because the food is just too good to leave any behind.The sauce on the pizza and Italian meals amazing. We have had subs that an organization had made from here for a fund raising sale and they were the best we have had that way as well.Having spent a career assigned many places when serving in the military, we learned that the locals know the very best places to eat, We quickly recognized from our own experience here that we found the food and staff are great, that the locals are frequently seen in here over and over, and we are quite happy being locals here now too!Our only regret is that it took us close to a year after moving here to find and try this restaurant.“

“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.“

“Good food , delicious. But I felt sorry for the staff , they appeared exhausted and overwhelmed due to the massive amount of customers present and in line waiting. It was non-stop for staff but they rose to the occasion the best they could!“

“First time dining here. The pepperoni pizza and Italian hoagie were both very good and both quite large. I was surprised at how large the seating area was inside, definitely a lot of table available. I didn't catch the name of the person when we placed our order, but she was friendly and nice.Parking: Plenty of available parking.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, I believe it is accessible by wheelchair.“

“Under new ownership! Wow!! Pleasantly surprised!! The dough was light and not heavy with a crisp on the bottom you would expect from New York. I’ve traveled a lot and had pizza at some of the best in the country and this place holds its own and I didn’t expect a Calzone of this quality! Perfect… Highly recommend this place and if you’ve had a less than desired experience in the past then I’d give them a second look. I almost didn’t come from some negative reviews but I am glad I did! I do not know the owners and this is a real review… I am just passionate about quality and I am glad I found this place! Thank you!“

“Food and service are great, in fact, this is perhaps the best restaurant in town. Though it is in the airport, it is a very short walk from free parking. I took one star away from atmosphere, though, for the unnecessarily loud and constant announcements from the boarding flight. Conversation had to stop while they announced boarding for what seemed like every seat for such a tiny aircraft.“
