Went there for the first time in years with my family a few hours ago and the minute I open the door she's screaming at us and I can't hear her from how loud it is so I asked her to repeat herself. She's yelling again. Her along with other servers kept telling us to move to the side behind other people. This place is so narrow and packed there is hardly room to move anywhere you're not up someone's behind. Not the best impression with a rude hostess yelling at you the minute you open the door. Who hires these people? Then we get sat crammed 5 to a 4 top by who I assume is the owner. The food is bland, sauce tastes like cheap tomato sauce from a can, 85 % cheese if you're into that. I won't be back after this experience and they should hire friendlier staff. I also want to add that the next day after eating at Luigi's I got sick and threw up and was queasy all day and that's all I had to eat the day before was their salad and pizza so beware eating there! Never again!

What a great Italian spot. Cozy throwback vibe…read moreNot expensive Great service The food really was that good. Six of us. Everyone loved their dishes. We all brought leftovers home.

Carrot cake is standout. Tip is automatically added to parties of 6 or more. On the " go back to" list.

Our family came here on Good Friday - the restaurant was calm and not overly busy. We had a…read morereservation for 6pm and were seated right away after arriving. We had 3 four top tables pushed together for our group. We dine out every Good Friday and the acoustics in this restaurant were great. We could hear conversation from one end of the table to the other. Several people had the Fish Fry special of fish and chips - some liked it, some didn't care as much for it. I didn't try it personally, but the plate had three decent size pieces of fish with a side of fries and coleslaw. Nice offering for Good Friday meal. Two of us had Chicken piccata and really appreciated that we could substitute out the side of pasta! One of us ordered a side of grilled veggies (highly recommend) and the other steamed broccoli. Highly recommend the grilled veggies! Good combination of different vegetables. The broccoli was good, but would have ordered without butter. There was a pool of butter they were swimming in. The piccata was good - 3 decent sized pieces of chicken breast. Note if you are not a red pepper fan, order the sauce without. I forgot to ask, but they were easy to pick out. The calamari was a good portion for an appetizer. We hoped they had cocktail sauce for it, but they only had marinara. The mesclun salad was very good and really good size for a half portion. We did not order dessert, but the cakes when you first walk in are quite impressive and imagine are delicious!

I got the Panzanella with chicken and it was divine. Very filling. The bottle prices were excellent. My husband loved his dish, which was the risotto special... I believe it had seafood in it. Everyone really enjoyed their dishes and the portions were enough. They had an excellent bar menu, though we just stuck with wine. Our server was very attentive and had lots of recommendations. I loved seeing a traditional carbonara on the menu as well... Often, a restaurant will just make this with a cream sauce and call it "carbonara", which is so wrong that it makes my Italian ancestors turn over in their graves. Though I did not get the carbonara this time, I will certainly try it next time. We also saw waiters preparing the table side, Cacio E Pepe, which looked really fun, but ultimately, I felt it was priced more for the experience than the actual food so I did not get that. We had reservations at 8:15 but arrived at 7:45 (planning on waiting at the bar for our friends to arrive ) and they were able to seat us right away. We also got a welcome bubbly drink upon arrival which was such an unexpected, fun, and friendly touch! The servers are very professional, but down to earth. I would absolutely love to come back and try the chef's table.

It's been awhile since I've been here. So I thought a fresh review. We ate here last night. It…read morewasn't busy at 7:30p on a Monday. Which was good with us. We got seated right away. It's kinda dark in the dining areas and looks to be around 1989 decor. It's clean. They have daily specials. My partner got the baked rigatoni and it comes with a salad. She enjoyed it. Portion size is kinda small in my opinion. It's a $15 cost and it's a little baking dish. I got the meatball sub with homemade chips. It's was good as well. Chips were hot and came with ranch to dip. Super good. Everything is Ala carte. So my sub was 1 price and to add chips was $2 and cheese to the sub was $1. To add cheese to the salad was $1. So you have to watch the nickel and dimes. The server was nice. I asked a few questions and wanted a recommendation and she gave them to me. At first I thought she was kinda grumpy because I asked the about the quality of steak in the steak sandwich. I didn't want to order it and fight with chewing the steak. So I asked. I think I offended her. But she was fine after a bit. Overall it's not bad. It's a solid Italian American cuisine experience. Prices are in the middle not outrageous but food quantity could be better on the pasta. My sub came with lots of chips and it was a good size. So that's good. We would go back. Again it's just average. But if you are close you want Italian it's fine. Next time I'll get the pizza.

Parasson's is our families Italian food go-to. If you love Italian food, this place is a must try…read more I grew up with a Parasson's location in Canton that I miss a lot. This location has picturesque decor throughout: from the entryway to the dining area. (Check out the pictures of the decor)! There is statue in full armor before entering the dining area... so cool! Make sure to check out the plastic table display holders for limited time only specials and new items. The menu features: salads (house and antipasto), subs: meatball, sausage, and Italian, pasta: lasagna, penne, and spaghetti, pizzas, and you can't forget their cannoli! During this visit, I tried the half & half combo which has a half order of Parassons special meatball and half order of their sausage patties topped with pasta sausage and cheeses! I also added a side salad (iceberg lettuce, tomato's, cucumbers, and cheese with buttermilk ranch dressing ) I had the red onions removed from the side salad. You won't go home hungry! The service is always friendly and hospitable, willing to sing happy birthday (if you want them to). This place brings back lots of childhood memories!

Dont look like much from the outside but pretty good place to grab some decent italian food…read more Waitress, megan was fantastic recommending items since we had never been there. Little bread and olive and herb to start which was nice. The little croquet basket was delicious and the peppercorn ranch was perfect. Meatballs were a little off and overworked a little bit but not the worst thing in the world. Garlic bread was ok. Wife loved the zucchini planks. The chicken that came with the wife's meal and mine were fork tender and both the Alfredo and regular marinara were both delicious. Kids spaghetti and meatballs were a hit. Definitely worth another visit.

Stumbled upon this place accidentally because we meant to walk in the door for a nearby restaurant…read more At first we thought it was a private extension of the restaurant we intended to go into. What s newt little hidden experience. Speaking of experience, it reminds me of a speakeasy. Inside this small restaurant/pub, they offer darts, pool, tables and bar experience. They offer a small variety of food choices. I opted for the House Salad with grilled chicken and went with the house-made Creamy Italian dressing. It has a nice kick to it but is's very good! I will say the amount of chicken on the salad is limited; likely around 3oz. The flavors are there but just not enough to justify a $17 salad. $15 would be my ideal area. Use 5-6oz of chicken, maybe $17. Otherwise, it's a really good spot to check out!
