Service at the bar was good. We come here for the ricotta board because my wife absolutely loves it and it did not disappoint. I had the jumbo garlic scampi which was good and full of garlic. And also the small entrée Tavola salad it was only three bucks, but surely not worth that. It was good and the full size salad was probably worth a go. The espresso butter cake was very tasty but not $16 tasty. It was very relaxing at the corner of the bar, but still quite loud. read more

I first have to acknowledge the kindness of the server. I went down to the restaurant at 6:20am from the hotel (Doubletree) and despite not opening until 6:30am, she made me a coffee. I had to leave by 630am so I was in a rush. Now let's address the coffee. It was undrinkable, disgusting. The coffee was lukewarm at best and it tasted like dirt. No flavor other than an overwhelming taste of soil. I'm not sure if the beans are old or the machine needs cleaning but I don't think I've tasted such bad coffee before (maybe at a Motel 6 -years ago). Serving in a styrofoam cup was also very unpleasant. Now let's talk about the cost. This was nearly $11 ($1 tip). I wish I could have gone back and gotten my money back because this latte went straight to the garbage can. So disappointing especially since it's a fancier restaurant in a nice hotel. I've never given a 1 star in all my years of writing reviews. Most times I give the place the benefit of the doubt but this was too awful to not be straightforward. read more

I've been wanting to go here since it switched to this from Bistro and finally got to try it on NYE. I loved Bistro so I was hoping this would also live up to my expectations... and it did! I thought the food was so good. My biggest con would be that the prices are a bit high, however the entrees were large and I basically got 2 meals out of it with my leftovers. The service was good, no complaints there. I will definitely return. read more

Food, Service, and Ambiance; has it all. You won't be disappointed. It's a great place to meet with friends and family. However, be prepared to pay for parking, and it's pricey. read more

I was staying in the connected hotel and decided to give Cass Di Canzonetta a try. I ordered the calamari and I think it's called the papa's Sunday salad. Both needed salt & pepper but we're good. The croutons in the salad were huge and I expected them to be a little soft in the middle. However they were crispy like a regular crouton and kind of hard to cut into bite size pieces. The bartender was friendly and provided great service. As a restaurant connected to a hotel, the menu has a wide selection and good flavor. I stay at this hotel often and will visit again. read more

The meatballs were delicious and the sauce had good flavor. The pasta was a bit overcooked leaving it too chewy and sticky. The pasta texture kind of ruined it for me. The ambiance of the place was really cool. Service was great. read more

I had high hopes for this restaurant to be part of a festive family night when I made my reservation more than a month ago. I conscientiously booked this anticipating a large dinner crowd due to a holiday show downtown on the same night. Unfortunately we arrived 30 min early to a restaurant that was slammed. I would have been patient if they seated our small party at the next available table. But she shrugged her shoulders and told us to come back at our reservation time. I found this baffling for its dumbheadedness. We retired to a drafty hallway since we had to wait while they seated other people for 30 minutes. I tried to remain optimistic as I peered through the window at the lavishly decorated dining room and fighting off impending hypoglycemia. At precisely 6 pm my husband and daughter returned for our table. We were told to wait a minute because they DIDN'T HAVe A TABLE Ready? I feel like that is the essential duty of having a standing reservation booked BEFORE hand. The table was finally ready but not in the main dining room but an oddly built loft next to a service area. The loft stairs proved challenging for my elderly husband's knees but he made it. We found the food delicious, created with care for cooking traditions and ingredients that makes Youngstown a proud culinary destination. The food was worth waiting for but I felt very slighted by their inept handling of my reservation. read more

Great food and service. Had a fun dinner here before a concert downtown. This place is good for families and a meal with friends.

Well now that I have had time to think about our dinner . It was disappointing ! The appetizer focaccia and peppers was really good our dessert was really good ! But for an Italian restaurant I didn't think our food was all that great. My husband got rigatoni in vodka sauce but the vodka sauce was more like just plain spaghetti sauce . It didn't look any different from my bolognese sauce. I had bolognese with pappardelle noodles it was a bit dry. I don't have a problem paying more for good food but I can go to any Italian restaurant and get bread salad and dinner for and very good Italian cheaper . They will lose customers by making everything ala cart. This isn't NY it is Youngstown . People want a good meal and to go to nice places but they don't want to be ripped off. I was so disappointed . My. Husband did not like his dinner . I know he won't go back . read more

Since reopening and their rebranding they have failed to disappoint...not that they did when it was the Bistro. Took a business associate from Sweden who has travelled the world and he gave it 5 stars. Great staff, service, atmosphere and aromas. Incredible drinks and elevated down home Italian cuisine. Thanks for making downtown a worthwhile destination! read more

I had dinner on Thursday, March 27, 2025, before the Gianni Russo event at Deyor. I have to say, I was quite disappointed. There were maybe 10 people in the whole restaurant. My son and I sat at the bar. My son ordered a half portion of the pasta and meatballs. I ordered cacio pepe with one meatball. Now, as I said, maybe 10 people in the whole place, and my meal was lukewarm at best, and the meatball was stone cold. To top it off, the redhead behind the bar delivers us the check, and I see a $6 charge on the bill for meatballs over and above the meatball I ordered for myself. So, I said to her you made a mistake. You charged me an additional $6 for meatballs. She says, on the half portions of pasta and meatballs, we charge you for the meatballs. I said, when I asked you if my son can order a 1/2 order of spaghetti and meatballs, you said yes. Now, you figure when you order 1/2 portion of spaghetti and meatballs you get 1/2 portion of pasta and half portion of meatballs. I said to the red head behind the bar, You did not say the meatballs were an additional $6 charge. She says, I know, but the 1/2 portion of spaghetti and meatball entry doesn't come with meatballs. Now, you know where I'm going with this,.... any person with half a brain would say, my bad, and take the charge off the bill. She proceeded to ring it up as is and didn't own up to what she did. That will be the last time I go down there for dinner! There are way too many great restaurants. Nicolini's Chop House, Vernon's, Aqua Pazzo, Chophouse @ Avalon, Leo's, Alberini's, Homested and more. read more

We had an extraordinary anniversary dinner here a couple days ago. We shared the house salad for a delicious start along with the Venetian Ice and Pineapple martini, both which were delicious and creative drinks. A+ to the bartender. We shared the cacio e pepe spaghetti which was perfect for sharing and a lighter but flavorful and delicious version of the pasta that may have been better than the version we had in Firenze. My husband had the salmon and loved it, and I had the pork chop, which was a different option for me but very good and flavorful. The amarone wine went perfectly with both entrees. Last but definitely not least. The hot brown butter espresso cake truly was worthy of the hype. It's rare I pass over tiramisu at an authentic Italian osteria, but the brown butter espresso cake was beyond delicious. The ambiance was lively and friendly with very Italian decor that was fun and not stuffy but appropriate for a white table cloth dinner. Highly recommend this place for a special occasion and to go all out and sample the diverse menu offerings. Great staff and service as well. This is really a gem. read more

Took an Italian friend here. He LOVED it! We had a wonderful dinner. Service was top notch! Loved the atmosphere! Thank you!

I stopped by for breakfast and was pleasantly surprised. Amber, who waited on me was a delight, attentive and courteous. I had the biscuits and gravy and was very pleased. The biscuits were fluffy and properly sized; the gravy was thick, tasty and well seasoning with plenty of sausage. Well done!! read more

Casa Di Canzonetta - Restaurant - Italian Near Me - Youngstown, Ohio

The entire experience was just bad from the beginning. We arrived at about 4:45 during a blizzard and, but for one table, the entire restaurant was empty. We were told that there were no tables available so we had to sit at the bar. We began to order and were told that the items that we ordered were not available and then we saw those same items being served to others who arrived later. The food we did receive was bland and just bad. Shrimp scampi was nothing more than a few boiled shrimp with a dollop of garlic butter on top. The Caesar salad was watery and wilted. The pasta dishes were dull and under-seasoned. Our dessert (which seemed to have originated at Aqua Pazzo and is much better there) continued the theme of bland and boring. The ONLY bright spot was our bartender and her cocktails which were great. Of course, when we finally left, most of the restaurant was still empty so I'm still not sure why we couldn't get a table. We won't be going back. read more

Food was painfully average. Sauce not good and flavors of everyone's dish was "odd." The best thing was the bread. I would never go back. There are much better Italian places to eat. Pricing not great either. read more

Service was very good! However the food was so/so. The Sauce was VERY SPICY and one of the orders had two very different types of sauce. One to spicy to eat (eggplant parm. And the side of rigatoni had a sauce with little to no flavor. It seemed like an after thought type of thing. The "red" bread was good, but definitely not a reason to return. read more

We heard about Casa Di Canzonetta but this was our first time trying it. One word. SPECTACULAR! The food and service were impeccable and the atmosphere was super cool. I'd highly recommend a visit. We family styled our dinner plus had multiple appetizers. Absolutely nothing disappointed. read more

First, we made a reservation for 6 a week in advance (to celebrate a very special birthday) which was confirmed with a text confirmation. upon arrival, they said they could not find our reservation in their computer system. Luckily they had a cancellation, so we did not have to wait long. once everyone in our party arrived, we ordered simple cocktails that we waited for atleast 20 minutes to get to our table. We put our whole order in (appetizers AND entrees). we received our appetizers in a timely manner but then our waitress seemed to disappear. Finally when dinner DID arrive, not one of us were happy with our dishes which were EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE ($45 for chicken Marsala that I could have cooked at home and tasted better!) All in all we were very disappointed and ended up leaving still hungry! I would NEVER go back or recommend to anyone! read more

Great food. Great atmosphere. Service was very good. It is pricey and I'm not sure the food was quite worth the price. Would recommend though. read more
