Restaurants near Bancroft Park

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.

Brunch is always on point here. Great food and wait staff. Affordable and delicious

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.

The Mediterranean Chicken Bowl was delicious and the service was excellent.

Food was very good. They did not have Emmanuel's pizza available the day we were there. Overall, very enjoyable lunch. Will go back again!!
