We went for an early Dinner. Linda had the eggplant Parm and Spaghetti. It was yummy very plentiful. She enjoyed the bread that was served also. I had the Vernon's Meatballs and Salad. The Meatballs were very well made. We enjoyed eating here very much. We will be back. Linda took plenty home. read more

Vernon's has always been a go-to when I visit home. Most recently, I booked a table for 20 people -- fully expecting it to be chaotic, but a spot everyone would enjoy. Well, everyone loved their food, and the service was exceptional. I got the chicken francaise with angel hair pasta instead of rice -- I expected this to be great but it very much exceeded my expectations. Service was quick, thorough, friendly... I really can't say enough. The cherry on top was when they unexpectedly brought out a few small ice cream dishes for the three children we had at the table. Down to every detail, they created a wonderful experience. Will be back next trip :) read more

Went to Vernon's on 2/28/26 We had made a reservation, so our seating time was minimal. The table was very nicely prepared for us. Our waitress was very attentive to our needs. It was Saturday evening so there were many people there. Our food was served without much delay. My entree was veal parmigiana and my lady had the 4 cheese lasagna. Both were excellent and generous size. The table bussing was done quickly and appropriately. The boys were right there when dishes were ready to be removed. It was a very nice experience, as it always is at Vernon's. The room was full, but was comfortable. We always enjoy our visits there. read more

DON'T BOTHER going to Vernon's!!!! We had reservations on Valentine's Day. Got seated, waitress got our drinks and order. Then she never came back!!!! We wanted more drinks,etc but she never came back. We waited an hour and nothing!!!!! We put money on the table for our one and only drink she bothered to do and walked out. Yes my wife went off on them going out the door and no one even cared enough to fix it. read more

Love love love grandmas cheese ravioli. I get it almost every time I come to Vernon's. Their sauce is to die for and grandmas raviolis are home made. I've never had a meal at Vernon's that wasn't good. I recommend this Restaurant to everyone. Lately I just have my food delivered to my home. It's just as delicious as eating in the restaurant. read more

major YUM! what a great way to end a Tuesday night after a long day of work. wish I could've caught the waitress's name (almost pixie-cut grey hair), but she was very personable and we got to share some laughs! Made sure to keep our waters full and consistently checked on us throughout our meal! calamari was absolutely excellent and pretty neat that they just lay them in the sweet thai chili sauce instead of having it on the side to dip! I wasn't too hungry after eating a couple hours before so I opted for a caesar salad (who knew that a couple years ago I had first found out they put anchovies in caesar dressing!?) ... anyways, added the blackened chicken and it was definitely a kicker (or should I say rooster?) I couldn't seem to quench my thirst but I'm not complaining! Accompanying date ordered the chicken francaise which I have never had, but I did try! What a wonderful flavor! I can't compare it to any I've had in the past but everything paired nicely and the rice on the side I forgot to capture after it had been dumped on the plate! we had a warm personality (very tall older gentleman) check on us twice, not sure if he was a manager, but also zero complaints as he stood a bit to chat the second time disappointed that we hadn't ordered dessert but were ready to head out, little does he know I was fully intending on it but I'm trying to behave! read more

Fun, impromptu ladies night out. The calamari was quite delicious. If I had had gluten free bread, I would have soaked up all the juices with it and wiped the plate clean. I did not ask for any, so I do not know if it is offered. The sea bass, lobster and risotto was perfectly cooked. It paired well with the 2017 chardonnay on the menu. It was also nice to be able to enjoy dessert as well. The chocolate desire dessert was gluten free. I devoured it even though chocolate isn't my typical dessert choice. The only disappointment was the side salad. It was okay. #glutenfree #glütensiz read more

Went here for Ramen Wednesday. Top notch! The crisp on the chicken, the layers of flavor in the broth, the cook on the eggs. This was next level. Well done chef. read more

I started going to Vernon's when he first opened and it has changed,not in a good way. The last time I was there, it was a Saturday night, there was an event going on, with no special parking for the people the at the event which meant a full lot. Somehow, there was a mix up with our reservation even though they called to confirm. We were seated at a high top table in the lounge, next to the front door. We had 2 elderly people in our party who wear uncomfortable on higher chairs and couldn't hear as the people at got "warmed up" The food is nothing special anymore unless you want to join the owner and his friends as they plan their next expensive get away while drinking and the specials he creates. read more

Let's talk steak. The only thing I order here is their bistecca toscana. It a sirloin that has a Gorgonzola butter. I order it blue-rare and it's perfect every time. Service is always great as is the ambiance. read more

If you looking for Italian food this your place!! I always get the chicken parm it is always fantastic the service is good too

Seated quickly, service was very attentive, the appetizers are LARGE - be prepared! Had the meatballs and my wife had the tomato caprese salad. Salad dressings (not a huge selection) ranch is an up charge - and worth it. Tasted like homemade. We both had the Veal Parm for dinner-it was great. But because the appetizers were so large we each took home half for another dinner a night later! Did I forget to mention the Italian bread and oil? Do not miss it - crusty tasty bread was a huge hit with both of us! We ordered a second plate....no wonder we couldn't finish our dinner! Go to Vernon's. You won't be disappointed. read more

Wonderful restaurant that features Italian food, but not limited to that alone. This restaurant has been on 422 for many years, and has a deserved reputation for turning out fine meals with excellent service. We were recently here in a party of seven people, and the orders were placed and served pretty quickly. We received plates of fresh Italian bread, olive oil and grated Romano cheese to eat while our meals were being prepared. Everyone in our party was happy with their selections. The meals selected were a salad with meatballs, veal Parmigiana with penne and a side salad, eggplant parmigiana and salad, steak salad, and angel hair pasta with shrimp, scallops, and lobster. Pastas were prepared perfectly... Al dente. The red sauce was delicious, as was the aolio. Nice atmosphere, great food and service, with reasonable pricing. Great dining experience! read more

The Mahoning Valley has no shortage of excellent Italian restaurants, but this one really sets itself apart from the rest. Vernon's is a small, locally owned and family operated restaurant that sets a high bar for Italian fare. It is located on the outskirts of Niles in an unassuming building that's easy to miss. When you first enter you are greeted by a hostess stand and are seated as quickly as possible. There is a long bar with a wide variety of choice brands and booths and tables are situated throughout. The interior is intimate with dim lighting and fosters a relaxing atmosphere. When I was seated I was greeted by my server and scanned the menu. Vernon's offers a variety of classic Italian, with a range of salads, sandwiches, pizzas, pastas, chicken, beef, and seafood. I ordered a plate of Angel Hair Marinara and a bowl of Zuppa del Giorno (white bean soup). Complementary warm bread was brought to the table with a small bowl of herb infused olive oil. The bread was fresh and paired well with the dipping oil! The soup was a savory fusion of flavor that set the stage for the main course! The spaghetti was generously served and perfectly balanced, with a hearty sauce that complemented the angel hair. Lastly, the service was attentive and cordial and the server expresses a deep knowledge of the menu. Vernon's is not the only place to get great Italian food in the Mahoning Valley, but it's certainly among the best! read more

This place is an old staple of my whole family. We've literally never had a bad meal in here abs it is one of the most authentic Italian places you'll ever find. Great ambience, helpful servers abs overall some of the best food you'll ever taste. I recommend the peppers in oil, meatball appetizer and the chicken piccata for sure! Dad loves their veal Marsala, always perfection! Great for families and get togethers. read more

Went to dinner with 12 friends. Everyone loved their dinners. Our waitress was very helpful and patient with us. My dinner and wine were excellent and I enjoyed my leftovers for lunch the next day read more

SO noisy you can't carry on a conversation. It's been a while but I wasn't impressed with the food. If you want really good food go to Aqua Pazzo in Boardman or Vasilios in Cortland. read more

Great food and atmosphere. Pasta, veal parm, excellent service and cocktails. Also went to a catered event there and it was excellent.

The best atmosphere, food, and staff in the area. Not just going out to eat, but a totally pleasant experience,

I was unimpressed. I've heard good things, but don't think I'll be back. I felt my food was not seasoned at all and that I could have made it better myself for less money than they charge. read more

Vernon's has been a 5 star restaurant in Niles since the beginning. If you are looking for fine Italian dining look no further. I highly recommend the ribeye. read more

Born and raised in Warren but have been gone for 15 years. Vernon's is always a stop when back in town. This past visit did not disappoint. Tortellini with Short Rib and the Butternut Squash Gnocchi were both amazing features. We wanted to eat slowly and take little bites to make the meal last. My mother had the original gnocchi however, wanted to different sauce and protein and they easily accommodated here requests. Highly recommend. read more

I would give five stars but the dining room is a little drab. The food was excellent my wife had this pasta seafood and she said it was perfect. I had the veal and peppers it was delicious the veal was tender was just the right amount of hot and sweet. We also had the beans greens and sausage appetizer that was amazing it was a greatest combination of tastes ever. They served warm bread with oil the bread was soft and warm just perfect. I would recommend this place to anyone who's looking for a good very good Italian meal. read more

From A Fellow Italian My Self, I ordered take out felt very overwhelmed; & think there should be a specific area for take out. For that I was directed to a bar for pick up; I couldn't even sign for my food somewhere without interrupting someones evening. Nor did I receive any napkins or utensils to eat my food, I had to get them else where. I originally thought the mushroom portobello would be enjoyable but since now I didn't even have a knife to cut it. I was unable to try to eat it with out making a mess. 1/10 Gnocchi was cooked perfectly and taste of the sauce was okay 5/10; just seemed a lil watered down. More sauce the better. The wedding soup was good; I wish there was more meatballs 6/10. The over all win was definitely the salad. I loved the beet they put in there and the vinaigrette was phenomenal. By far one of the best dressings I've tasted. Staff was nice just felt very close quarters. read more

Refined Italian restaurant... Been here many times... Never left disappointed... My go to in the seafood linguine... The table bread is quite addictive... read more

Excellent food and customer service! Will definitely return highly recommended! I got the fettuccine Alfredo with the Italian greens.

This restaurant is okay at best. The pizza tastes sub-par, but the toppings are certainly lacking. The service was wonderful! However, it was very expensive for the portion sizes with mediocre food. read more

The large raviolis were great. Along with the servers. A+. love the home made sauce, meatballs & sausage

Stopped by this evening for a take away order. I apologize for not taking any pictures but let's face it, take away is not made for pictures. The young lady at the hostess desk was very helpful in promptly getting our order and taking our payment. We were on our way out of the restaurant in minutes. We went the Italian comfort food route with chicken Parmesan with angel hair pasta, raviolis and meatballs and a side salad and wedding soup. Also,some excellent fresh bread was included. The food was delicious, as always, and depending on your appetite, it could be easily be enough for 2 meals. People should keep that in mind when they complain about the prices. Recap, another great meal at Vernon's. read more

This used to be one of my favorite places to go. I honestly say I will never go back there again. The kitchen sort of blotched up an order and the manager came and asked how our meal was. Well out of the 5 of us one meal wasn't what was expected. We told her what had happened and she agreed and said she would buy them a drink. When it came time for the bill she had sent a dessert. When she found out the drinks that were ordered at the beginning of the meal were $30 she decided she'd give free dessert instead of the drink she promised. Then had the nerve to argue about it with us. She had a bad attitude and completely unprofessional. If that's the way to manage she needs to find a new profession. NEVER GOING BACK!!! read more

My husband first took me to Vernon's when we started dating 18 years ago. The food was amazing then, and continues to be fabulous! We wanted a walk down memory lane, for a much over due date night, and it was perfect. You must try the peppers and oil, and clams casino! read more

What is it about Italian food on the East coast? It seems I find a great place every time I travel past the Ohio/Pennsylvania border. Vernon' s was recommended by someone I know and it didn't disappoint. Amazing lasagna, and even better gravy served over it. The wedding soup was also legit, you don't find wedding soup at alot of places. Atmosphere is classic Italian joint, with a full bar in the back if you feel like being less formal. read more

One of my hometown favorite places to stop. Some of my favorites are the peppers and oil, crispy calamari, and their desserts are to die for. I recently had their salmon, which was cooked perfectly. While you are their don't forget to ask for Dennis for the best wine selections. read more

I don't know which was worse. The WAY overpriced below mediocre cheap at best Italian food. I've honestly had better from a TV dinner. Or the rude service. This is my 2nd time here. I had a bad experience the first time as well. I like to give places a second chance. NEVER AGAIN read more
