24 Best Italian Restaurants in Youngstown

“Our reservation at another local restaurant was lost on a busy Saturday night. We had tickets for a show at DeYor at 730 so we wanted something close. Yosteria came in mind. Luckily they could squeeze us in and it was amazing. We told our lovely server we had a time crunch and she went beyond for our group. Not only were we out the door in plenty of time to make the show, it was delicious!! We will be back!“

“We dined here first time last night for our anniversary. The Rome style theme of the restaurant did not dissapoint! We ordered the Lamb lollypops and Polpo ( octopus) for appetizers, and both were outstanding! We followed with Prima, our choices were one of the nights special of a pork ragu over pasta and the other entree was the papparadelle ragu. Both very delicious and quite filling! Ending our dinner with the Tiramisu ( best i have ever had!) and gelato were the perfect way to celebrate our day! Please understand that in the style of food service in Italy, you are expected to sit and savor your meal, so this restaurant follows suite. Loved it and will definitely return!“

“Had Dr. appointment up the road this morning, asked for decent place to eat near by; boy, did we get one! Kathy, our waitress was extremely sociable, efficient, and Johnny on the spot! 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.“

“We had no idea what this place was like, I googled a place with good Tiramisu and Jimmy's showed up. They were incredibly friendly on the phone when i ordered. When we arrived to pick it up, my husband and i stopped in our tracks. This place is huge, with display cases FULL of every Italian dessert, cookie, pastry, biscotti, i could go on and on. Then you arrive at the displays of meat, cheese, pasta, etc. All the staff was so welcoming and friendly especially the young lady who waited on us.In the car we immediately tried a bite of one of the 6 extra desserts we purchased! Magical. Delicious. Period.“

“First place I ever recommend to anyone new to, or visiting, the area! Fantastic atmosphere, food & service.“

“Finding a good lasagna is hard. These guys nail it! When we are out in the area it's our favorite place to go for Italian food. They have always taken great care of us even the time we looked like ragamuffins and probably should have just done drive thru. They are worth giving a try.“

“They are an amazing Italian speciality store offering many different foods to satisfy anyone! The staff is friendly, helpful and courteous. You cannot go wrong!“

“With Boardman being a location with innumerable, wonderful eateries, I must take a moment to expound upon Uptown Pizza being in a league of their own. I fervently believe Uptown is truly delicious. �“

“5 STARS ⭐️ best pizza and wings I have ever had.“

“They squeezed us in super last minute and took great care of us! Appetizers and pizzas were great! Thanks guys!“

“We live within 5 minutes of this restaurant but never think of going here, that won't be the case any longer! This place is a true family owned, family ran restaurant. The place is small, probably holds 40 people but it is nicely decorated and clean. The portions are huge, so big that I only ate half of my meal which rarely happens. So let's start from the beginning....The bread was very fresh and delicious. The salads were fresh and crisp while the dressings were flavorful. I ate my son's coleslaw, it was delicious, crisp and had a little sweetness to it. I ordered the Nonni's Chicken, spaghetti topped with sauce, greens, breaded chicken and a Hungarian hot pepper. The chicken was very tender and the greens were on par! I highly recommend this dish, did I mention how generous the portion was? The wife hade spicy chicken Alfredo and my son had shrimp Alfredo, both really enjoyed their meals. You could tell that the sauce was made to order and was very creamy. I am not sure how we have neglected to patronize the place for so long but I believe that will change moving forward. Go visit them and support a true family owned business.“

“I was not expecting to find Jersey level integrity at an Italian Deli in Ohio. Bravo!What do I mean by this? Well, on my first visit to Jimmy's, hanging right on the front door was a very good sign. Actually, it was a sad sign that announced escarole was not available at the moment, and Jimmy's was compelled to use frozen chopped spinach for their famous greens. 1) That's some incredible transparency right there. Did I say "Bravo!" because, Bravo!2) It show's that Jimmy's understands this is a serious enough issue for its clientele to post the information before you even enter the doors. Salud!But I came here as a pit stop on a road trip, and I would not be deterred. I strolled up to the sandwich counter, and got the pollo diavolo brick, and asked them to add some of those greens into the mix. Even with frozen chopped spinach, that extra 50 cents was money well spent. Bellissimo!My travel companion got the meatball sub and was very happy. We haven't found meatballs like this in the midwest. They may not have been Providence level meatballs, but that's a very high bar indeed. It happened to be an unseasonably warm day, so we took our sandwiches and sat in the sun on a stone bench by the parking lot. The outdoor dining patio was sensibly closed for the season. After the sandwich, we were compelled to venture back inside to check out the pastry case. The lobster tail was properly enormous, and could have easily been split by a family of four. What I already know for sure is that is going to be a regular spot for us when driving across Ohio, and I look forward to many happy returns.“

“Had lunch there today it was absolutely delicious wood recommend this place for lunch“

“Had a get together of family. 11 of us. Food was excellent. Eggplant parmesan the best. Ribs were great. Hot garlic wings my son in law said excellent. Our waitress was Marissa and she did very good.“

“If you haven't visited, or if you're there now and can't decide on a meal, you'll be pleased if you order the Penne Alla Vodka. Best entree I've ever had. Do yourself a favor and get a side of the wedding soup and focaccia bread.“

“For many years, the best. Ever since I spun records at Gouch's Jambar, they've been the best, highly recommended!“

“I would say get there early 4ish...food & service was wonderful...more than we could eat...extra food for daughter who worked late...our server Davidson was awesome,attentive, took very good care of us...Mgr walked over & asked how things were...everything was perfect...highly recommend...I had peppers in oil, salad, eggplant w/spaghetti...hubby had salad,pork chops w/baked potato & cheese cake...“

“We love Papa GeGe’s and the staff AND the food. The food is AMAZING. We love that it’s a BYOB. I think the veal Parmesan is the best I have ever had. I ordered it twice. The soup is amazing. We really enjoyed the cannoli. Beast Italian food around, hands down!!!“

“Best Italian subs ever! Great pizza, too! 5⭐️“

“Stopped in tonight with my mom. She had the penne with vodka sauce and I had the portabello ravioli special. This was our first time here and we will be back! I could have made a meal out of the homemade fresh bread and garlic dipping oil! Looking forward to my leftovers for lunch!“

“One of our favorite places to eat when we are in the area. The pizza crust is nicely crisp, toppings fresh and the sauce has a fresh tomato flavor. The marinara sauce is always flavorful. Portions are generous and fresh bread rolls are served with meals. If you can get there before 2pm the pizza buffet is an option to try various types“

“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!?“

“Best chicken Marsala in town! One of the many times I ordered from Grubhub they once forgot part of my order. They noticed and called me before I opened the bag. Someone from the restaurant personally delivered my missing food with a free dessert approximately 5 minutes later. Other restaurants have often forgotten items from my orders but Marinos was the only one to care enough to correct it, and they even reached out to me instead of the other way around. Very honest restaurant with high quality food.“

“Servers always great you with a “smile & hello”, food served in an appealing way and delicious! One of my good-to’s regularly. Pricing fair for quantity you get, and daily specials too. 50cent jumbo wing night Monday is a favorite of mine, and they are huge….“
