Best Restaurants for Groups in Boardman

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.

Excellent service. Baked olives were excellent. Limited menu with some good options. Most pasta included meat, which my wife and I don't eat. Our server told us that there were other ways to make some of these, but this isn't indicated on the menu. My wife had the vodka tomato cream sauce (not on the menu) which was good a little spicy. I had the potato and leek mezzaluna. It was good. Overall, we will go back and try different items. The menu is changed on a periodic basis.

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.

Gervasi did an outstanding evening! The service with Logan as the leader was quite outstanding. It didn't matter what we asked of him, it was always attainable. The food was amazing! We love this place!!!!!!!!!

This was a Christmas Dinner for our Business and was a group of 6. Our waitress, Abby, was wonderful, very attentive and even helped us with a couple of surprises for the group. Food and drinks were all outstanding. A few people had special requests for drinks and food and all were met without issue. This was not my first time here and I have always had a great experience, but it was the first time for several of our employees, all of which said they will be returning.
