Since I can't go 4.5 I'm giving this little gem a 5. Met a friend for lunch he and my wife both had the Italian trio combo, my wife said the sauce was great and the Italian greens were outstanding. I tried a bolognese dish, Frankie's special...? It was very good, first time I've had a sausage based bolognese so it was different but very tasty. The atmosphere is definitely Italian but not over done. A little Dean Martin music in the background was great. Service was efficient and not rushed. Food was served nice and hot and their bread is outstanding. We will be back for dinner next time we're in Salem, if you haven't tried Ezios give them a try you won't be disappointed. read more

The price is on the mid-higher end and the food is usually hit or miss. It's bland Italian food that lacks herbs or spices. The atmosphere is nice but I wouldn't go out of my way to go here. read more

Just ordered pizza. They only have 10" so we ordered 2. They were so greasy we could not get them out of the box. The worst pizza I have had. What happened to this restaurant it use to be so good?? Very disappointed read more

We have been here several times before but always for dinner. We stopped in for lunch today and the lunch portions were a good size and the service great as always read more

Best Italian food in Salem and surrounding area. I have had many dishes from here. My favorites are their spaghetti bolognese, spicy chicken penne and the gnocchi. My husband orders the Classico calzone almost everytime. read more

I have been wanting to try Ezio's for awhile because it came highly recommended. After waiting almost an hour for what I think would be simple dishes to make our food was cold. Stuffed shells and a steak salad. However the food was delicious. Also the sauce was the best I've ever had. But we will not be returning due to the long wait and cold food. Also there were only about 6 other people in there so the wait wasn't from them being busy. read more

Have been going there forever. The food was good . The prices were good. Well except for tonight. The prices are higher and the food ... well good but not like it used to be. And the service? forget it! Got there at 6 .... waited till 7 and we still had no food. Sad that a classic Italian place in Salem that was a go to place for food and service is no longer there. In the language the Romans of Italy .... caveat emptor read more

My food was great. The service was great and I will continue to eat there. Love the hospitality there.

Have been coming here for about 4 years and enjoyed the food and service and atmosphere over all. Unfortunately we were surprised and disappointed during our last visit when my sister and I decided to split the 14oz ribeye that I had enjoyed often on our past visits. It arrived as a flattened extremely thin piece of unrecognizable meat that could not have been any more than 6oz. It was hilarious at first and the waitress agreed and apologized. Not wanting to spoil our evening I figured the management would compensate the obvious error from the kitchen however the $30 charged remained on the tab so we paid it but will think twice before returning in the near future. read more

I have had the worst restaurant experience of my life. As I walked in I got my drink order and drink in a timely matter. I had to wait an unreasonable amount of time to order my food but in the meantime after about a half hour of waiting to just order I hear a customer at the bar mention they were disappointed that they drove a long way and the menu item they wanted was not in stock. Who I could assume was the manager or authority yell across the restaurant to the server on the other side of the room near the kitchen area something like "Why did you tell her we don't have it!" and when the server said they're inventory system showed they had no more, the manager or authority had an unreasonable attitude. NEVER REPRIMAND A WORKER LOULDY ACROSS THE RESTAURANT AND EMBARRASS THEM, YOU ASK THEM POLITELY IN THE BACK AND RESOLVE THE ISSUE CALMY. When I ordered my food the server told me they were previously instructed to inform customers ordering that specific item that the plate may be cold due to the egg in it. It didn't make sense to me but regardless the solution is not to tell a customer their plate MAY be cold but to just warm the food. When I received my food another unreasonable amount of time later, there was a pool of water under my noodles and I did not taste ANY seasoning, not even salt the most basic ingredient. There was also a long hair in the noodles and my hair is short I am a man. I was given free desert coupons and I would like to make it clear the server is the only compliment I have of this place she did absolutely nothing wrong and even kept my cup full at all times. There was only one server in the building that I saw and I counted only one full table and a couple sitting at the bar so I would expect service in a timely matter read more

my service was horrible there was absolutely no one in the restaurant and me and my family had to wait 1hr to get our food

The food here is always excellent! Service is outstanding. I drive 90 minutes just to eat here. My go-to is the spaghetti and meatballs, but the lasagna is great too. Enjoy the Sinatra music while you dine. If you're in the neighborhood, stop by... you won't regret it! read more

Amazing place - excellent, fresh food. Our server was fantastic and made great recommendations. We had the deep fried lasagna that was covered in a vodka sauce and I had the chicken Marsala over gnocchi. We had the bananas foster for dessert. Also had a glass of Pinot Grigio which was nice and light. The gnocchi was done perfectly and the chicken was a nice portion and well done. The bread was also really really good! We enjoyed the salads with the house and ranch dressings as well. The buffalo shrimp appetizer was a nice light bite that we ate with ranch. All in all - great experience and will definitely be back again! The deep fried lasagna was a show stopper but was a special so not permanently on the menu. I would still go back for the bread and gnocchi alone though! Amazing. Such a great night. read more

This is the only place in Salem where the pizza tastes properly. Also, I loved the lasagna. Service is at a hight-level, prices are reasonable read more

Ezio's is always a great meal! Their homemade garlic bread and Italian dressing are to die for. They have a great variety of outstanding meals, but mine is by far The Kenny Special. It's a francobollo with a side of diavlo sauce for a little extra kick. The restaurant itself is a classic Italian restaurant. Everything moves a little slower so it my not be the best place if you are in a hurry. I should also mention they do fabulous "family tins" which are well priced and perfect for office events. read more

Excellent in every way. Service, atmosphere, food. Will be back for sure. Worth the drive from Salineville.

Yummy spot in a small town! We had a large group and they were able to accommodate us. Friendly staff! All of our food came out at the same time. Large portions! Cheap drinks! I would go back for more gnocchi and meatballs! read more

Ezio's Italian Restaurant - Gnocchi + meatballs - Italian Near Me - Salem, Ohio

I spent 84$ on to go food and what a complete disappointment. Food is cold, missing items, they called me to tell me about a missing item and I drove back and you think they would give you compensation but no. Acting like it's Ok. Food is cold every time I've tried to get to go. Do not recommend read more

Good for and service. Beautiful inside. Food tastes good but just overpriced. Def recommend a visit

Went here w/the entire family this weekend, and we we're very happy w/our experience. A lot of us had the Chicken Parm & they were happy w/their orders. I had the Veal Parm & it was very good! Cannoli's were a disappointment though. While they were good, these were not the best I've ever had. I'll leave it at that. The service was superior! Our waiter was friendly, attentive, & was able to suggest items from the menu. The wait(s) on times were somewhat long, but we did have a split bills & large ones at that. Nothing too much, though. Overall, it was a very good experience, and the spent amount was not outrageous. Ambience was decent, cleanliness was good, too. It was a nice Italian restaurant. From the other reviews, it sounds like it might be either great or hate. We might go back in the future! read more

I loved coming here when I lived in Salem. I enjoyed sitting at the bar and talking to the bartender with my husband. Great drinks and great food. read more

We made reservations at 5:00. We asked the waiter after 20 minutes if we could please order our food. At 6:40, we asked how much longer for our food. We were told they had one more large table to feed and then the would start on our order. We won't ever be back. The waiter would disappear in 25 minutes increments Poor service and poorly understaffed in the kitchen. read more

Only getting 4 stars due to how long you have to allot to be there. Always slow. But the food is always amazing. If you have the time it's worth your time read more

Pretty good food for the price. Used to be a little better food but still not bad at all. Usually pretty speedy on gettin your food to ya.

I would so Love to say the food is Delicious but unfortunately it is not ! I've tried numerous dishes the last 2 yrs, disabled & order take out. Nothing is Delicious!! Even the PIZZA was HORRIBLE !! Sorry to say, but I will never be back. read more

THE GARLIC BREAD. Dude. Really simple yet buttery and melt in your mouth awesome! It's brought to your table so you don't have to order. I ordered the chicken Parm sandwich lunch special. It was moist, juicy, just the right amount of Parm, garlic and still had a crisp light breading ! The staff is super friendly... I'll be back! read more

I little slow due to labor shortages but worth the wait all was delicious. This place has it all for a romantic dinner.

Sauce was bitter. Greens were tough service was good ambience was good. Overall disappointing.

My family made 7pm reservations for tonight. We waited a half hour to have our drink order taken. ( it was not written down just memorized) When we came in there was a group finishing up dinner. The group that came in after them got their drinks and salads before we got our drink order. The server finally came and the drinks were wrong. After 45 minutes we were leaving. My brother went to the bar to pay for the drinks so we could leave. The server said I'll pay for them it's not a problem. My brother said it's ridiculous and she said I know. The food used to be good but the service is terrible. We left and went to De Rienzo's that I would recommend and had a delicious dinner just down the road with wonderful service. read more

Delicious Italian food in an old world atmosphere. You can never go wrong with the Chicken Parm and house salad.

Myself and my husband, ate at Ezios this evening. I hadn't been there in years. The food was exceptional, the service was good, however, be prepared to wait. They seem to be understaffed. All in all I would give them an A and we will definitely be back. read more

I found a little piece of heaven in this place. I had heard of an Italian restaurant in Salem that was supposed to be so good but had never been there. When my husband got our 2nd COVID Vax we went to Home Depot in Salem for a few items. When we were done we went to a great garage sale and asked for a suggestion for lunch and they strongly suggested Ezio's. WOW I am so glad he did. Their food is outstanding. Home made pasta, delicious warm bread. I am getting hungry just talked no about it. My go to Italian dish is Eggplant Parm. Some restaurants try to make it homemade only to have rubbery and sometimes bitter eggplant while some obviously serve from frozen. It is obviously home made. Words can't describe how delicious it is, as well as, the homemade side of pasta. The bread is wonderful crusty on the outside and tender on the inside and comes out nice and warm. The service was impeccable and you feel like you are in someone's home. The restaurant is decorated so nicely and the Sinatra music sets the tone. I would give this 10 stars if I could. I even insisted going back here for Mother's Day and everything was just as wonderful. I highly suggest that you try this place. You won't be sorry!Egg Plant Parm read more

Best Gnocchi's around. Everything is made in house and authintic. A must try is Tinia's salad and homemade dressing. EVERYTHING is so yummy and hugh servings. Probably should make reservations because they do get so busy. read more

We have been to Ezio's a few times. It is one of my daughters favorite places to eat. Today is her 21st birthday. She wanted to go to Ezio's for her birthday dinner. The food was amazing! The service was phenomenal. And she got a free dessert since it was her birthday! Which their tiramisu is so good. Their prices may be a little bit higher than some of the area restaurants, but it is worth it. A clean, comfortable and beautiful restaurant to eat in. Combine that with the service and food, it's definitely a to recommending. read more

Chicken Parm and the Steak was excellent! very kind staff. Definitely will be back. Highly recommend read more

Ezio's Italian Restaurant - Italian Near Me - Salem, Ohio

My lunch was awesome good atmosphere,beer was cold, price was matched with the quality of the food. I would eat there again.

The food was okay; but the service was terrible. I got baked ziti, which was not ziti, but penne and not baked. Our dishes stated on the menu they came with garlic bread, in which we never received after asking. Took over 20 minutes for someone to get our drinks and order; our food came with salads; and it took over 40 minutes for us to receive our salad, then less than 5 minutes later, our food was out. Not impressed. read more

Very nice, modern Italian eatery. Excellent chicken marsala, very good stuffed peppers, bread and canolli. The iced (green) tea was unexpected! Worth the effort and will return. read more

Headed from Canton to Alliance to find the restaurant we anticipated dining at was closed, decided to drive a few more miles east and ended up at Ezio's. Arriving at 6pm on a Saturday night we anticipated a wait for a table, we were correct. Once we were seated, the good food just kept coming, peppers in oil, and mozzarella square were delicious appetizers, my main course of Chicken Marsala was some of the best I have ever had. Finished the meal with a Tiramisu. Delicious, my fellow diners got the banana's Foster for dessert, best for more than one! It is huge! I highly recommend and we will be making the trip back. read more

Ezios was a welcome surprise! The restaurant was a warm welcoming older building that has been kept in good condition. The menu was extensive in all things Italian. We got baked angel hair with mozzarella on top. It was hot and a large portion. The meatball was very garlicky the way I like and their hot garlic bread was wonderful. They had a nice selection of wine and drinks. All around a great meal. read more
