Waited for a long time even there were less than 5 tables in the restaurant. The food were either not well cooked, too dry or half cold. Would not return read more

The menu is beautiful. This is a very small Cafe connected to the Hilton. I thought it would be a larger place. The parking lot was completely full. I love the food choices. The Server put forth a great effort, but was slow to bring the bill. There are salads, sandwiches and dinners on the menu. There are outdoor tables too. Something for everyone! Will go back soon. read more

What a great surprise! We were lucky to get the round corner "booth" for a fun date night. The seasonal martinis were outrageously good, as were the loaded kegs, and the bacon jam burger, which we split, came with the best tater tots ever. The peppercorn ranch was perfect with them. Service was perfect - personable, attentive, quick. Great attitude. Looking forward to going back! read more

We order from Bricco every couple months, generally being satisfied with a good meal. Last night however was the worst restaurant meal either of us had been served in ,frankly, years. My NY Strip was full of gristle and fat. The side of broccoli was 4 skinny asparagus like stalks with wilted crowns that were so mashed down and deflated that it looked like cooked down spinach, apparently at the end of it's days. The garlic mashed, the steak ,AND the broccoli were so salty that it required water between bites. My husband's baked penne was a shadow of the portion usually served and also very salty. Hardly any sausage and only 1 or 2 banana peppers. What a waste of money. We threw much of it away. I know he'll return because they are usually good , but I'm not sure I will. No chef should send out the door what we brought home. Perhaps they were off their game, being a light weeknight, and the weekend would be better staffed with the A team. I don't know what the problem was, but beware. read more

I brought my wife in for Valentines Day tonight. There wasn't a lot open on Mondays so we decided to try something new. There was a snazzy Valentines menu but we ordered directly off of the standard menu instead. My highlight was the risotto balls as an appetizer...wow, those were awesome and I could have just ate those all night. Everything else was solid, no complaints. Keep it up! read more

Worst Customer service by Stacy Sharp the event coordinator. Do not recommend the meeting space in Bricco West Akron located in Holiday Inn Express. She is not friendly and very rude. She opened up the meeting space at the time of the event and did not leave it open for us in order to set up. Very inconsiderate and rude. 100% do not recommend using this meeting space. read more

I've been a long time customer of Bricco and Michael just continually impresses me with his cocktail menu. I had the new blueberry citrus martini and it was life changing!! The buffalo chicken wontons are amazing as well but not as great as Michael's drinks!!! Best spot in fairlawn for drinks hands down read more

On the fence with 3 or 4, so here's how the two compare. Given the area, it's attached to a hotel, well priced, and brekky was better than I would've guessed ... kinda brings up the stars to a 4. But if rating strictly for food, atmosphere and overall experience then barely a 3, but maybe had an off day? Hubby is a Diamond Doubletree member so brekky is comp, and I wasn't expecting much. We came down around 930 and every seat was taken including a group of 40 in the back. They were not staffed for the breakfast rush. In fact, we waited 20-25 mins before anyone acknowledged us or that we (and a few other groups) were even waiting. Seated after 35 mins, a table near us waited 20 mins to get coffee/water and the lady leaving when we were seated told us worst breakfast ever, ice cold when delivered then never saw anyone again. Now our experience wasn't as bad. Once seated and the large groups left, service was better. A bit slow but the food was ok. Although not so tasty that I'd repeat the wait again and would've been happier with a Starbucks brekky sandwich. But we're here for 5 days so I'm going to stick with oatmeal other visits :) read more

Michael was amazing and he was pretty much doing everything. Steaks were tasty and drinks very well made. He really made us enjoy our second time here and kudos to the service and the food. read more

Stayed at the same hotel for business and unfortunately had no other options for breakfast! This place is nothing but a train wreck!! Service was horrible, again! My breakfast burrito was burnt on the inside of the tortilla shell! How does this happen? Food was terrible! My companion was also disappointed in their breakfast! Coffee was weak and even though it was in a carafe, was only like warm!! Stay away! read more

Food is always good, excellent service. Michael, the manager and bartender is personable, very talented and works hard to please customers.

Good heavens is this little sweet treat of a cafe hidden, but well worth the venture into the hotel, for its delicacies proved worthy of any possible confusion. We did not come for dinner this evening, but instead, a rare occasion, simply dessert. Sometimes that's the best way to do it though. Generally you won't get dessert at places because you're too stuffed from dinner, so coming for dessert was a nice change of pace and BOY oh BOY did Cafe Bricco DELIVER! Our waiter was friendly, fun, not annoyed by the fact that we weren't ordering meals too, and just an all around pleasure. He kept our water glasses full, which was key actually, because these desserts could certainly be rich. We ordered tiramisu, pistachio gelato, I had an Espresso Martini with chocolate drizzle, and the boys had caramel apple cheesecake. Is your mouth salivating yet? Because I'm about to pass out over here just reminiscing with my taste buds - overwhelming nostalgia. The cheesecake was rich and creamy, yet not overkill with the topping, syrup not too thick, and a nice hint of apple. My Espresso Martini was strong *good on ya, bartender* but not overpowering, and the perfect crisp cold temperature I need in a sweet alcoholic drink. The chocolate drizzle swirled into the cocktail making it that much more enticing. The pistachio gelato was MELT IN YOUR MOUTH delicious. We almost didn't order it because I felt like we had enough, but the waiter recommended it and I am SO happy he did. The tiramisu was UN-REAL. Seriously. I was in absolute love with every bite I took, but also had to limit myself from becoming so stuffed that my pants burst. Okay okay, I was wearing leggings. But you get the point. Made fresh and you could tell! Rich sweet mascarpone cheese hitting your lips with the exterior of nicely dipped espresso ladyfingers. Unbelievably perfect. The night was a huge hit all around and these desserts were, quite literally, the cherry on the cake. No that's not true. We didn't get any cherries! How about chocolate drizzle on the latte, or the caramel on the cheesecake, instead. You get the point ;) read more

I came here for breakfast with my girlfriend. We recently moved into the area and have been looking for good options for brunch and breakfast on the weekends. I was severely disappointed in the food and atmosphere. I guess we made the mistake of ordering the same thing but we both had the Mexican omelette and it was the blandest thing I had ever eaten. No spice, no flavor, nothing. The service was fine but the atmosphere was also lacking. I guess we should have expected as much since it's located in a hotel. We just expected a little more ambiance and we were the only people eating there other than what seemed like two regulars who our waiter continued to go over and talk to. We won't be coming back here but I'm sure it's fine it you are staying in the hotel and don't want to go out. Just don't get the Mexican omelette read more

Cafe Bricco has good food just like the location near Playhouse Square. It isn't exactly the same but if you like one, you'll like the other. Order a stiff drink or maybe a shot of liquor. You'll need it. Let me explain. I don't know you and you may or may not accept what I write as accurate or meaningful. Let's face it, you're on Yelp reading a review for a restaurant in Akron when you could be making the world a better place. I'm not judging you. You matter in some way to someone and that is why I am concerned for you. Getting into this restaurant involves you almost (or in fact) being involved in an automobile accident. You could very easily be injured in your quest to get a pizza with something on it other than pepperoni. If you try to get here from the highway, God help you. If you are coming in from Akron, it's russian roulette to cross the two lanes of route 18 with all the junker drunkards plowing into each other and cussing like they're from Columbus. If you are trying to get there from the road next to the mall directly across the street, you aren't going to make it. You are going to try, fail, and die unless you bulldog hard right and turn around way the hell out there by the Max and Erma's. "..but wait, Slick, that's three miles up the street...I'll just shoot across 18 and be there in a flash." No, friend. You won't. I have seen people dipped in plastic, skinned like a trout and posed in a museum with a basketball. I have tasted sausage. When I tell you that Bricco food is good, it may be right but by God when I tell you to be careful getting to this place, please accept my words like they are the most important you'll ever read. Please. Do it for the people that want a gift from you at Christmastime. I love you. read more

I wouldn't go to this place again - even if I were staying in the hotel that it's attached to. The bartender Shannon was wandering around the restaurant when I say down at the bar so the host had to get me a drink after he noticed me waiting. The whole time I was there she was to busy telling trashy jokes with the locals to notice my empty glass. The other bartender (Wayne or dwanye) was the only one on the ball at all and it was his first day - I guess he hadn't had a chance to pick up her bad habits. In the time I was there two separate parties that walked in had to look around the restaurant for help because the host had wandered off. The pasta I had was decent but they brought me cold bread which was a put-off. It's worth it to go next door to beaux's. Easy choice. read more

Good food and service. The Parmesan Rosemary fries - big FAIL! The description is misleading. Should be fresh rosemary, not dried and the sauce tasted like mayonnaise w/a hint of Parmesan cheese. Don't waste money on this!!! read more

I was really hoping for something great but this was nothing more than you would get at a breakfast buffet. I was so disappointed when I ordered the classic that comes with eggs, meat, "hashbrowns", and a muffin or bagel. i was really excited to order hashbrowns then they came out. i was so disappointed to see frozen cubed potatoes. i mean i would have been super excited with shredded hashbrowns thats what i think of when i say hashbrowns, or even fresh cut/cubed and fried potatoes. nope from a bag frozen put in the oven cubes. In their defense they did have some kind of seasoning on them. that was pretty good. Then then only had tabasco sauce. LMAO why do resturantes call this hot sauce?! on the bright side the bacon was perfectly crisp. i should have ordered an extra side of bacon to go. the disappointing part is i could have made a better breakfast at home. read more

Decided to treat my bestie to lunch here for her birthday after our spa appointment...our musts were - patio, wine and decent food sans kids (we were without ours so we didn't want to ruin our "spa" day). Since we were down the street we thought we'd finally give Cafe Bricco a whirl and we were quite happy we did. We arrived just after 11am and the entire patio was open for our choosing. Grabbed a table in the sun, relaxed and ordered a bottle of wine (which they have a pretty decent selection - again my reviews will also tell you to just order the bottle). For lunch I couldn't decide between two sandwiches on the menu so I did a custom order - no problem and it was delicious. Definitely want to go back and try additional menu items as it was hard to choose. Service was great, but again we weren't in a hurry and took our time. read more

We made a reservation through opentable. We arrived, there were at least 6 tables available tables in the main room. The hostess stopped at one of tables but then took us to a room off the kitchen. It felt like an overflow room. The music system kept cutting in and out. The waiter did know your prefix menu. We ordered Canadien Club on the rock(doubles) and they came back tasting of mint. The waiter said he couldn't send them back...another couple, the only other one in this side room with us, left after being seated...this was the only reservation choice for Valentine's Day and now we know why. Buyer beware. read more

I had blueberry pancakes, they were frozen blueberries, the top pancake was very dry on top from being under the warmer. Service was slow, it's nice to be out on the patio. This place is ok for the price, but I wouldn't rush back. read more

Café Bricco - Blueberry pancakes, the top one was dry from being under the warmer. Blueberries were frozen, not fresh. The other dishes also lackluster. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Akron, Ohio

Good for a quiet lunch. The wedge is decent. The patio is nice and prices are reasonable. For dinner, the downtown location has better food and atmosphere. read more

Ok what happened here! Went to one in valley and it is and always amazing. This one is a total miss. I ordered salmon Caesar salad medium and it came out a mini piece of burnt fish with mayo type based dressing. Literally like they opened a jar of mayo and added it to salad. We order pasta dish also total flavorless MISS. Guess we are one and done. read more

We found a new (for our family) place to go for breakfast on Sunday mornings! We've tried many of the local spots in Fairlawn and our experience at Bricco was wonderful! No waiting, good food, clean, inviting and the wait staff was on their 'A" game! We will definitely be back! Goodbye, First Watch. Goodbye Sweet Pea Cafe, See ya later Bob Evans! HELLO CAFE BRICCO!!! P. S. Our son and daughter-in-law love this place for lunch and dinner. We can't wait to try it. read more

Another great birthday lunch on a cold, gray Akron day. We enjoyed our blackened chicken salad and artichoke/chicken pizza on a quiet Wednesday. Great menu choices and wait staff. read more

Was a great little place but new owners have made this a terrible experience. Wait staff clearly unhappy working here' nickel and dime everything had to pay 50 cents for an xtra cup of salad dressing for a$16 salad If you do go pay the check in nickels and dimes they understand that here's hoping for a quick turnover to another owner these guys are horrible read more

We have been here before for breakfast and we're pleased but not today. Service was very slow and rude. Plenty of servers running around but not bringing food. Other people had to leave before their orders were even taken. Orders were messed up and the food was average and barely warm. Not coming back. read more

been to dinner here a couple of times. very must like the regular bricco downtown (not just sandwiches and burgers like bricco pub). I love their food and they have good drinks as well. Restaurant is a little small but I have been seated pretty quickly without reservations. read more

Was here with a large party. Normally a pretty quiet atmosphere with a relatively intimate feel to it. Service was decent, we actually got our food pretty quickly considering how many people we had in our party. Appetizers: had the pita with marinara/goatcheese and calamari. Both were pretty good. Entrees: Crab cake was acceptable- the 2 cakes were large in size, but there didn't seem to be much in terms of crab meat, it was mainly just bread or whatever other type of filling they use to stuff the cake with. It did come with a nice arugula salad and lots of haricot/green beans to balance the meal with. Fettuccine with grilled shrimp didn't fare as well. The shrimp themselves grilled nicely with a kick of pepper. By itself, the shrimp would have been excellent. However, the fettuccine and the sauce it was in was pretty bland, as in it looked and tasted like sauteed onions in half-and-half with corn starch or the like to thicken it up. Overall, would probably look else where before returning. Not a bad choice if you don't wish to venture out and are looking for a good drink and decent meal if you are staying at the adjoining DoubleTree. read more

I can't say enough good things about the service, staff and food. The decor was lovely. The music loud enough to be pleasant but quiet enough for conversation. The staff was friendly, helpful, and went out of their way to answer questions. The food came out quickly and was absolutely fantastic. If I lived here I'd go back until I worked my way through their entire menu. Their prices are a bit high but it was worth every penny. I highly recommend them. read more

My second or third time at Cafe Bricco and first for breakfast was disappointing due to poor service and food quality. I've enjoyed my experiences at other Bricco restaurants, appreciating their innovative menus but service has never been anything above adequate. The service for breakfast at cafe Bricco was at an even lower level full of splashed coffee on the table, inattentive and messy serving staff. Our breakfast food would have felt right at home at a chain restaurant not what I envisioned for Cafe Bricco. I hope that this was an isolated incident though the service seems an ongoing concern. read more

Excellent martini selection, size and quality. Food is high quality, wonderful and tasty.

Outstanding food. Only reason i didn't give 5 stars is because the manager is very unprofessional (sweats and ohio state shirt? I don't care if it is football season you are at a nice restaurant on a Saturday night). Otherwise great pick! My server was outstanding and the food was delish! I got the goat cheese and pita and the steak salad. It was all perfect. read more

Bad news. Our party of 7 was largely ignored during the 90 minutes we were there. My sisters order arrived after everyone else's was done so she took it to go. My food and my mom's food were cold; but since our waitress never came to check in on us, we had no way of informing her. My husband rated his hamburger a 6 out of 10. The manager needs to be retrained as he split his staff between inside and outside on the patio. Bypass this place. read more

This gem is hidden in plain sight at the Double Tree in Fairlawn. I don't often think of a hotel restaurant. Wanted to go to Bricco downtown, but the Italian Festival was going on, so we headed to Fairlawn for lunch. We were greeted by the affable manager and headed to the patio. The patio umbrellas are more like tents without sides. No hot sunny spots. Our server was pleasant and efficient. We shared the bean dip..yummy. My DC had a half wedge and said it was good. I had a really good Cobb salad. Give it a try. Another hit by Dave Glenny. read more
