I haven't been to this location in years. Finally decided to go and check it out since they remodeled the place. The atmosphere is definitely better than I remember. New lighting and better bathrooms. I ordered the chicken Parm sandwich and it was delicious. We had very good garlic bread before our food came. Food arrived about 15 minutes after ordering. We were a party of 5. Small menu like years back but wasn't disappointed with the selection. If you haven't been there since they remodeled I would suggest to visit. The only thing that was negative was that there is no kids menu. They do offer sides and smaller dishes for the kiddos though.

Loved this place. Will definitely go back. The food is like Italian homemade cooking. Everything we ordered was so good. Loved my cannoli for dessert. Angelique, our waitress, was super nice, welcoming, and very attentive. The restaurant is big and clean. Great place to celebrate friend's bdays.

Awe man I really wanted to like this place as the Barberton location was a huge part of my childhood.
The restaurant itself is beautiful and clean.
We ordered soft drinks and water with lemon- nope they don’t have lemons anymore for the water. I have never been to a restaurant that didn’t have lemons for the water.
The menu is EXTREMELY SMALL a lot of my favorites growing up are gone.
The $5 salad you can add to your meal is a joke, it’s a LITTLE bit of lettuce with three small slivers of onion a couple pieces of tomato and cheese.
The prices are comparable to a expensive fancy Italian eatery, and the flavor is meh, just ok.
It seems whoever took over made many short cuts and eliminated as much as they could to make more money and skipped out on quality and the menu that made this restaurant so great back in the day. They cut out the “magic” of the restaurant .
It seems everything I loved about this place will have to live on in my memories.

Wonderful visit as always. Mia was wonderful as our server! The garlic bread is just so good. And unlimited when dining in!!! 3 of us had the oh so good baked lasagna with meat sauce and only the growing 14 year old could finish it all. The grandparents shared an antipasto salad and Italian sub. They say both were wonderful! Great experience that I can't wait to do again.

The garlic bread was amazing, the portions were just right, fully staffed, very hard workers, polite. Yes, the menu is different & a bit smaller and there are some changes. The food is just how I remembered it in the 90's. It's easy to support a family owned business like Parassons vs. a chain when the food & quality is on point. Can't wait to come back again. 👏👏👏
