   We had a wonderful experience, party of 5, celebrating my birthday and first time here. Lori was wonderful and staff were very friendly. Definitely will make Vaccaro's our scheduled favorite restaurant visits! food was great, LOVED their pesto sauce, so fresh! drinks were terrific as well.

   We are newcomers to Northeast Ohio. We are inundated with ‘CHAIN’ restaurants in the Copley, Fairlawn area. It was nice to find a family owned restaurant serving excellent food. As first timers we LEISURELY enjoyed our cocktails without being rushed to leave. We began with the grilled Caesar and burrata tomato salad, both were excellent. For dinner my wife had her favorite, a bolognese sauce over yes, FRESH HOMEMADE noodles. To full for desert but what a great meal… see you next weekend.

   The 4 of us had dinner on a Wednesday evening at 6:00 & the restaurant was not busy. The food was good, not great but my main complaint is how long the entrees took to arrive. One hour in my opinion is too long with no apologies or explanation as to what the holdup was. If we weren’t with another couple(didn’t want to ruin our evening completely) my husband & I would have walked out. We will not be returning again.

   We love everything about Vacarro's. Our server tonight, Jack, was a really nice, attentive young man. The food, as always was fantastic.

   Great food and wine. However service was mediocre. Server rushed our party at several times during the meal. Additionally, when asked for recommendations, server picked the filet and lobster carbonara- the two most expensive items - felt like a total upsell tactic.

   Great restaurant with wonderful italian food. They have the BEST lasagna hands down. Service, atmosphere, menu make us want to come back again. Can’t say enough enough about how much we enjoyed our meals. Pizza is great as well, just like the old Vaccaros on Sandrun!

   Disappointed. Meals were simply average. I expect more from Vicarro's. Waitress, while very attentive and polite, was unwilling to ask the chef if he/she would conside subsituting a fish choice. We would likeliy chose a different Italian restuarante in the future as the only thing that was outstanding about this visit was the high cost.

    Met friends for dinner who we hadn’t seen for months. Had a great table where we could all talk. The restaurant was packed but the sound levels were very quiet and nice. The 4 of us all ordered salads and a main course. Everyone’s salad was superb and the main courses were even better. Gnocchi, cavatelli, chicken Parmesan, and spaghetti. We will definitely be coming back and our friends said this may be their new favorite restaurant. A+++
