I had the jumbo garlic scampi which was good and full of garlic. And also the small entrée Tavola salad it was only three bucks, but surely not worth that. It was good and the full size salad was probably worth a go. The espresso butter cake was very tasty but not $16 tasty. It was very relaxing at the corner of the bar, but still quite loud.

I first have to acknowledge the kindness of the server. I went down to the restaurant at 6:20am…read morefrom the hotel (Doubletree) and despite not opening until 6:30am, she made me a coffee. I had to leave by 630am so I was in a rush. Now let's address the coffee. It was undrinkable, disgusting. The coffee was lukewarm at best and it tasted like dirt. No flavor other than an overwhelming taste of soil. I'm not sure if the beans are old or the machine needs cleaning but I don't think I've tasted such bad coffee before (maybe at a Motel 6 -years ago). Serving in a styrofoam cup was also very unpleasant. Now let's talk about the cost. This was nearly $11 ($1 tip). I wish I could have gone back and gotten my money back because this latte went straight to the garbage can. So disappointing especially since it's a fancier restaurant in a nice hotel. I've never given a 1 star in all my years of writing reviews. Most times I give the place the benefit of the doubt but this was too awful to not be straightforward.

Destiny was a terrific server. We enjoyed our entrees (salmon for me and a steak for my husband). The drinks were very reasonable. The salad was generous.

I absolutely wish that, I could give this zero stars. My Husband and I ordered takeout,not once but…read moretwice! Both times were absolutely horrendous. Ordered there "famous" Station Square Charred Ribeye and Prime Rib Au Jus and neither of them had any flavor at all. My husband said it tasted like steak from Ponderosa back in the day and he was absolutely right. We also ordered the lamb lollipops that were dry, had absolutely no flavor. The little bit of juice from the lamb had soaked into the instant mashed potatoes,that are underneath?? it's an appetizer?!? They tasted like paste!!! The most flavorful thing we got was the Ajou sauce which I ordered an extra side of it/paid for the up charge and they were extremely rude about it. It was extremely overpriced and nothing was good! We won't be returning. As a young child, I used to eat there a lot with my family, but I see things have changed tremendously.

After all, we were in Youngstown Ohio, not Chicago or New York. What a gem! First of all, the wine. Here is where we learned about Pecorino wine...and we had thought it was just cheese. Delicious! As for appetizers, we always order the artichoke as it is stellar...and now we add the octopus to our list of must haves. Polpo was tender, perfectly cooked. Served with a garnish of potatoes and capers and a divine sauce, beautifully played. After all this, we split the eggplant Parmesan...light, full of flavor, perfect in every way. This restaurant is why we drive through Youngstown. We are excited to try their new spot in Austintown next time we come through. We understand they are moving there but also keeping this location as a more casual concept. We wish them luck. Amanda was a great server!!!!

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a cozy, welcoming ambiance that set the tone for a great evening. The service was top notch--our server Jessica was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. She knows the menu very well. What impressed us was the fact that She anticipated our needs as if she was a mind reader. Without even asking, she brought out leftover boxes for our meal. The food did not disappoint. We started off wedding soup---which was so rich in flavor and amazing. Followed by the bacon wrapped shrimp and scallops and had the Linguini Fra Diavolo and the Veal Florentine. Everything was perfectly cooked with just the right amount of spice and flavor. To top off our meal, we had to have a takeout of the desserts. the tiramisu and the lemon mascarpone cake (recommended by Jessica as the two top desserts) ---both were the perfect sweet ending to a delicious dinner. Highly recommend this spot if you're in the area and craving authentic Italian with warm hospitality!

From the bread and oil to the salad served in the chilled metal bowl with that phenomenal dressing you just can't go wrong eating here. I recommend a few dishes. #1: Always my number 1 go to and what I always order when dining in is the Chicken Marsala. They make it different from other restaurants because they don't do a reduction with their sauce but rather they thicken and sweeten it making it amazing. I order extra sauce which is pricey at $5 for the sauce but it's worth it I feel. Try the potatoes as the side dish. #2: If you like seafood fry their Linguini and Clam sauce. It's amazing! #3: If you're looking for pizza, you HAVE TO get their Brier Hill with extra cheese. Best BH pizza i've ever had. They have a sweeter sauce and I personally like that with my Brier Hill pizza. It's definitely worth trying and reasonably priced. Bottom line, don't let the negative reviews here turn you away before trying for yourself. I assure you if you try their Chicken Marsala or Chicken/Fish Francaise you will not be disappointed. If you don't, I will pay for your meal! Just call my secretary.
