Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Mars

As always: THE BEST RESTAURANT IN YOUNGSTOWN. PERIOD. From the lovely ambience & decor, to the fabulous service, to the incredible food, to the reasonable prices - there simply is no comparison. From our lemon flavored salad, to my wife's ravioli, to my scoglio pasta (white clam sauce); Aqua Pazzo is truly superb. Thank God that the owner, Tom Zidian, did not sell this restaurant when he recently sold his Italian food factory next door (Summer Garden). Our waiter Tyra was lovely, friendly, attentive without hovering. The manager, Stephen McCulla, friendly & welcoming, introduced himself and checked on us several times. The pasta - perfectly prepared; easily the best we've ever eaten. We have never had a bad meal, never had a merely okay meal, at Aqua Pazzo; it has always been remarkable.

The wait staff does an exceptional job as usual. The double diamond martini is always a great way to start the meal. My wife had the steak and shrimp and I had the honey garlic chicken which were wonderfully prepared and presented. Value wise it may just me not being able to get use to the prices in restaurants since the influence of the recent inflation. However, we will be back.

The food was delicious, drinks were good too! We came in at a down time with only a few people in the restaurant! Our server was so sweet but she was new and didn’t know much about the food or drinks and she wasn’t being helped by anyone! That would be my only suggestion to improve!

I had lunch at City Works to celebrate a milestone with a friend. It was the perfect space. I also asked for a quiet part of the restaurant so we could hear each other, and they found us the perfect spot. Food was excellent, service was great.

The experience was phenomenal. Our table was ready she. We arrived and the service was incredible. The food was delicious. Highly recommended!
