Best Casual Restaurants in Fairlawn

First time (hubby and I are always looking for new places to our high standards between cleveland and akron). Unique seasonal cocktails, steak and lamb cooked perfect medium rare, bone marrow appetizer was amazing). Our server Laura, her second day, was amazing. Even the owner thanked us for coming in. Worth the cost, definitely recommend.

This was one of my best overall restaurant experiences that I've had in many years. It was also the first time that I've ever been to this restaurant. As someone who also works in the industry, I can honestly say that this restaurant and its staff are worthy of the highest level of praise. Not only did everyone give the warmest hospitality, but their food quality and presentation were simply unmatched by any of their local competitors. The hosts were warm and friendly and promptly seated me for my 5pm dinner reservation. My server was Maribel and she was extremely attentive. I never had to wait for a drink refill. The pace was absolutely perfect -- allowing the perfect amount of time to enjoy each of our courses (appetizer, salad and entree). I also sat in a booth with a view into the kitchen and was able to observe the Expo. It was nice to see that they were carefully handling the plates and following all food safety standards. My guest and I enjoyed the sausage stuffed pepper appetizer which was a perfect portion for two. My tomato salad was excellent and my guest enjoyed her Caesar salad. The salads were fresh and dressed perfectly. For the main course I had the eggplant parmesan -- a huge portion with a side of spaghetti. My guest enjoyed the seafood risotto. In all, the price point was perfect -- including tip, we spent around $60 per person. Worth EVERY penny. Great job, team. We will definitely visit again.

Food was absolutely fantastic and homemade pasta was very, very good. Server was helpful but a little too slow paced. Highly recommend for the food.

This is our family happy place! We have never had a bad experience here- It’s always good! It has a relaxing cozy vibe! The Italian fare is done to perfection!

The Caesar salad and pasta was great. Was surprised we made reservations- no place to check in and was not very busy. A secret gem
