    Hidden bar for the local crowd. We came to this place accidentally after a fundraiser event. The bar outside didn't look inviting; however, after entering inside, we liked dimmed lights and reddish interior. The Batman- Elisabeth, was smiley and inviting. Elisabeth right away took care of us. I and my friends, we wanted to try signature drinks. She asked what we usually liked in our drinks, and she did an amazing job on our cocktails. After that time, I have visited the bar at least two times more. By the way, they offer complimentary snack such as small pretzels snacks and some nuts- a small gesture but makes you to come back. Don't hesitate to stop and try their signature drinks.

    Great service and selection of drinks, Small, intimate setting. Would definitely come again. Nice place to unwind in Akron.

    Hubby had a Cuban and I ordered the hummus plate. Great bar food. Beer selection lacking but service made up for it.

    Good food and good service for a bar. Was hoping for a better beer selection but no other comments.

    Stopped in for a quick drink and was pleasantly surprised. The specialty martinis are tasty and the atmosphere is inviting. The bartenders are friendly and helpful. The only downfalls are the location and lack of food. They do give you peanut butter pretzels so it's not all bad.

    This is a great neighborhood bar with an extensive whiskey selection. I would call it a dive bar, and I mean that in a good way. In other words, it's tiny and dark and the goal is to come here and drink. Also, there is no food served. You can do what my friend and I did and grab dinner across the street at Ken Stewart's Grille then walk over here for drinks. Bartenders were friendly, and the crowd on a Friday night was lively. Seating is cramped: either find some seats at the bar, or one of several smaller tables. There are some padded chairs right by the front door. But that's it, so if you get there and it's busy you might be out of luck. The whiskey selection is good. Angel's Envy Cask, Booker's Rye, Bulleit Barrel Strength, and more are available. Give it a try!

    We had a lovely time at Luciano's. I was disappointed to see DBA go, however, the replacement is…read morejust as good. (Though I do miss the little pasta flights.) 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.

    Beautiful space. Great menu choices for tasty food and drinks and friendly service!…read more Welcomed by the hostess with complimentary sparkling wine. Modern Italian with lots of favorite classics on the menu! We had a hard time choosing! Chicken Milanese was two very large breast. Not pounded thin as expected but very flavorful! Had gnocchi with pesto sauce. And this was top notch. The Nutella pie and tiramisu finished the night. We all really enjoyed the space and the food Will be back!

    We came here with friends last weekend for the first time. We had high expectations of the drinks…read moreconsidering they are a craft cocktail bar. We ordered several drinks off the menu. I had the spritz, which was good, but took over 30 minutes to receive even though we asked about it multiple times and everyone else at our table had received their drinks. My husband had an old fashioned which turned out to be only 5oz. The glass was not even half full. We all thought this had to be a mistake considering the cost and how poorly presented the drink was but the manager assured us that they measure properly. I think they should include this on the description because for $13, we were not expecting such a small drink. Our friends were not impressed with any of the drinks they ordered, either. My friend specifically ordered a double vodka shot in a short glass but received it in a tall glass, therefore watering down the drink. As for food, we shared the marinated feta appetizer and the charcuterie board. Both were good but the charcuterie only had one serving of meat (salami) and the rest were olives, peppers, cheese and grapes. For $19, we were expecting a little more. One of the cheeses, the largest portion, was a very spicy pepper cheese that none of us really enjoyed. The dip was very good - no complaints. We also ordered three pizzas. Our friend got the chicken pesto which he said was ok but nothing great. My husband got the short rib which he enjoyed. I did a make your own, which had literally no flavor at all. The crust was good but that was about it. I suppose that's my fault for picking the toppings but I thought it would taste better than it was. As for service - it was very slow and they were very inattentive. I wouldn't come back here or recommend it. I think as a restaurant that advertises for its drinks and pizza, both were lacking.

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

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!
