Just discovered our new favorite Italian gem in Kettering--and wow, it did not disappoint! The mussels were steamed to perfection, like they whispered, "we're ready," The house-made Italian dressing 100/10 And the chicken parm was so tender, I'm convinced it had a spa day before arriving at the table. But the absolute star of the show The Salerno. Picture this Sicily 1926: tender sautéed goodness in white wine, fresh basil, and garlic, roasted peppers and sun-dried tomatoes. The waiter recommended it like it was a secret. Tommy Toe took the leap--10,000/10 would recommend. Come hungry. Don't wear white. Prepare to enter a flavor town you won't be disappointed read more

It must be nice to shutter your restaurant and leave (the country?) for 3-4 months with no explanation known to me. We faithfully returned as a disappointed group of 8 people and were greeted by a very unfriendly waiter who after accepting our reservation sadly informed us that they had no lasagna! Why bother opening? I think what these people deserve is a good taste of reality. Please take your business elsewhere! read more

Since going here, I've always wanted to try their pizza as they looked pretty good when I was dining in the restaurant. I ordered delivery on September 21st. It was a large pepperoni pizza with mushrooms and black olives. On October 18th, I ordered a large pepperoni pizza with black olives and hamburger. This time I ordered carryout and picked it up myself. Both times, the pizzas were very good. They are real homemade pizzas unlike any of the area pizza chain restaurants and they are huge compared to most large pizzas. The sauce is very evenly distributed and tasty and the toppings are great as well. Troni's uses the slicelife.com website/app, and I had never used that before, but ordering was very easy. I had to wait a littler bit when I ordered carryout, but the wait wasn't too bad and they gave me a couple of fresh rolls with cheese and garlic oil while I waited. The staff here is always friendly and they do treat their customers well. This is another great experience at Troni's and I highly recommend. read more

Nice little Italian eatery tucked in a sad little strip - you can miss it if you blink. It's a very casual place, paper napkins, no booths. Cute and kitschy ambiance, and oh the heavenly aroma when you first walk in. And the food's fine, they offer both chicken AND VEAL with numerous classic preparations along with assorted pasta dishes. We came early on a Saturday afternoon but it was starting to get busy before 3:00. Just one waitress handled all the tables, she did a great job. Calamari is rings only. Although we specifically requested they not be cooked beyond a golden color, they still came out brown and the coating was crispy. The Calamari itself however was tender and good, but could have been so much better. Lately we've experienced an epidemic of overcooked fried foods and it's starting to tick me off. Anyway it came with a cup of hot, chunky and flavorful marinara. Two of the four garlic rolls suffered a similar fate, I spoke up and them replaced, you can see the pictures. We each had a Veal dish and were totally satisfied. It was cool to hear the sound of the Veal being pounded in the kitchen after placing our order. It was quality meat and we were both satisfied. The sauces were excellent- Francese and Capri styles. Served over linguine. Portion size just right. Salads were fresh. We were checked on frequently. My husband was pleased with the wine. I had a Peroni. We saw a beautiful genuine pizza pie en route to a neighboring table. It looked amazing and I have a strong feeling the reports are true, real NY pizza is here. Alas they do not sell by the slice, but I can see myself coming back, eating two slices and bringing the rest home for gentle rewarming later. Although casual dining, they do take reservations...I had called earlier in the week to see if they had Veal, I mentioned it was our first visit and the time I figured we'd come, and she said, 'you won't need a reservation then.' Something else to note- the prices are very reasonable. Glad to have Troni's on my ever-expanding (geographically) Italian restaurant list. Next stop...... ?? read more

Atmosphere: half of the restaurant was modern and remodeled and a side room with larger tables and more space bare decorations, good for large parties. Staff quick and very nice. However, we called in a reservation for 2 with confirmation and once arriving at the restaurant the staff seemed puzzled and said they do not do reservation for groups under 8. It turned out fine as there was room for us in the side room but a bit of miscommunication with the reservation and the staff. Meal: we ordered the garlic rolls, cheese pizza, and chicken parm. Our waiter was very nice and did explain the miscommunication with the reservation, however he did forget our order of the 6 garlic rolls and we didn't end up getting them. We did have 2 rolls that come with the entree and they were a solid 9.5/10, the side salad was 9/10 and great dressing. Pizza was delicious 8.5/10. Now the chicken parm. Taste was a 7.5/10, but the size was a 2/10, very small especially compared to other dishes and WAY over priced ($21) as a chicken parm lover this was a huge let down. Overall, this place is a 3.8/5, great taste but lost points for miscommunication of the reservation, forgetting the garlic rolls order, and size of the chicken parm. read more

Food was great. As well as the service. Don't let the outside fool you the inside is nice. We will definitely be back. read more

I usually get pasta trio or pizza. Hubby tried something new ... new to us the stuffed eggplant. He really liked it and would recommend it. It has salami so i was afraid to try ...as im picky about meat. Later regretted not giving it a try. They both come with side salad and garlic knots. You leave garlicy and safe from vampires.

We tried Troni Brothers today as we were in the area and wanted to help with Pizza week. Impressed! The garlic twists were hot n tasty with a nice sweet marinara. The salad was fresh and customizable. The pizza was a NY style that we had half light pepperoni and half cheese. The crust thin and light but the edge was that perfect grip size for the fold. The underside was crispy and nice. Cheese was fresh and a good mozzarella mix. Lightly sauced more sweet than zesty. A very good pizza to add to the rotation The pepperoni was good, not too thick but not spicy. So thats a personal choice on if you would like it or not. I know some like it spicy or crispy. The Sicilian was nice. Lots of gooey cheese more sauce and the crust was definitely thick and crispy on the bottom. No onions in the sauce but tasted garlic. Great flavors Nice place, friendly staff, and offered a military discount We will be adding this place to our pizza rotation and we think you should give them a go too. read more

First time to order from Troni's, we got the small New York style pizza, Stromboli, and calamari for takeout. I couldn't resist the smell of the food in the car and accidentally ate 2 slices of pizza before I got home. Pizza dough has a crisp flaky layer then a soft chewy middle, excellent buttery flavor. If you eat slices in the car you will get croissant like flakes all over yourself, but worth it. The marinara sauce was excellent also, hearty tomato and garlic flavor but not acidic. Calamari was cooked perfectly with a good portion. Stromboli was cooked perfectly and a good portion. read more

Disgusting. Threw it all up a couple hours after I ate it. Ordered chicken Alfredo and it tasted like butter only. I tried to fix it with other seasonings and it was just gross. Made me sick and was $26. Won't be back! read more

Not a fan. Meat lasagna was pretty light on the meat. Red sauce was sweet tomato-y, no depth of flavors. Service for our group was slow, and they were not busy. Arrived at 11:30 and finally got our checks at 1:50. Will I return? Yes, but for the group camaraderie, not the food. read more

My cheese ravioli was delicious as was my groups lasagna and spaghetti. The rolls were fresh out of the oven and super garlicky tasty.

I had the chicken parmesan and it was very good. The sauce on the spaghetti was seasoned well but not overpowering. The house made rolls are amazing. Portions were generous. Our waitress, Lori, was pleasant, organized, and did a great job managing a large party of 13. Our orders came out quickly and hot. Yum read more

I ordered carryout - 2 Spaghetti and meatballs, 1 meat lasagna, 1 baked ziti Ok, first want to address some of the low ratings...just curious what your expectations are...is this some magical place that you get a $50 plate of delicious Italian food for 1/4th the price? No. Is it any good though? HECK YES. If you can find better at this price please tell me where! Food was great for the price, got a ton of food, so basically food for 2 meals (dinner + lunch following day) at a great price. Service was spot on for carry out during a busy time (friday dinner)everyone was friendly and patient which is hard to find these days understandably. Place was clean and actually looked nice if you your looking for a place to actually go. Next I'll try the pizza and give a review accordingly. Thanks Troni's!! read more

Was so happy to have this for carry out. Service was great, friendly and the lasagna portion was large enough to serve 2 and delicious. Would definitely recommend and like to return. YUM read more

Meh I should love this place. It's locally owned. Food is prepared fresh, in house. Prices are good. Those are all characteristics I'm looking for when I eat out. Somehow Troni's always seems to miss the mark a little though. Servers are friendly but service is hit or miss. A pet peeve is that they make the soup to order meaning you don't get it with the salad course, but at the same time as your entree. Also it hasn't been simmering. We all know that soup needs time to be excellent. Some of their entrees are excellent. Pasta is cooked properly, sauces are flavorful and varied. Jimmy's is just a couple of miles away with the same menu-many of the same recipes-but with consistently excellent service. read more

Without question the best pizza in Dayton, NY style. Their sauce is perfection, crust is perfectly balanced between crunchy and chewy. Learn from me- I love toppings but keep it simple, 1 topping to truly enjoy the fabulousness that is tronis pizza. Don't forget to add an order of meatballs!! read more

I've been on an Italian food rampage for some reason this past month...comfort food maybe during the after holiday doldrums and cold weather? A fellow Yelper (Tom J. https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=JIDHhWMLP50EAeZqk3JVJQ ) has prodded me several times to try this place, so off we went. BTW ... according to Tom they make the BEST pizza ever. I went for a full blown meal. This place is tucked into a very small strip mall (3 or 4 storefronts) located at a "major" intersection. No curb appeal. Salads in Italian joints are always disappointing to me. They always have their little plastic container of dressing tucked into the corner. and are pretty much iceburg lettuce. But at least it's a salad, and served with the most delicious garlic knot rolls I've ever had. I can take my bread or leave it, but I ate my full allotment here! Then Eggplant Parmasian...an it was to die for. I ate the whole generous thing at once (unheard ...I always leave food) My girlfriend polished off her baked Ziti as well. We were unusually quiet as we shoved this feast down our throats. Of all the Italian joints I've eaten at, this was hands down the winner. So take Tom J.'s advice and see for yourself. And if you're a pizza lover, by all means try this pizza. I'll probably be in an Eggplant rut, cause I tend to repeat fave meals over and over. read more

giving Troni's a five. In a sea of mediocre pizza, A large Troni's well bake will cure your ailments. the old fashioned is also a great option. is it the best pizza in the world? no. is it the best Dayton's got? Absolutely. get a peroni or three, get a well bake cheese or old fashioned, and have a good time. Do not listen to people leaving negative reviews. they probably rant and rave about marions or flying pizza, and how they just *love* spaghetti warehouse. nasty!! the pictures also don't do the pies justice. read more

Troni's pizza was fantastic! Would go again just for the pizza. We did also order the garlic bread and were not overly impressed. Would recommend trying other appetizers but the pizza alone would stand to receive a high eating. Would go again. read more

I came here for dinner tonight with my dad to try some NYC style pizza. We ordered the 16" with extra sauce and pepperonis with two side salads with the house italian. The salads came out, and while there weren't many ingredients on it, it was very fresh and I loved the garlicky dressing. Later we got our pizza and it was delicious. The crust was super thin as it should be, and the flavor was spot on. I would definitely get their pizza again and I'd like to try some of their others. If you want some good thin crust pizza in Dayton, try Tronis. Update: I've come to Tronis since I've just had their pizza and decided to try some pasta this time. I got the baked cheese ravioli with meatballs and it was awesome. It was covered in cheese that was golden and bubbly and the meatballs were flavorful and moist. Great pizza and pasta! read more

I heard this place was the place to come for real NY style pizza. I was not disappointed to find that statement true. We stopped in here for a late dinner on a Thursday. The pizza came out very hot to my delight. The crust on the pizza was thin and crisp with just the right amount of "flop". The sauce was light and tangy and it complimented the cheese very good. Ive been looking for a real NY style pizza here in the Dayton and I'm happy to say I've found one. We look forward to coming back and trying something else from the menu, maybe some past or a calzone. read more

This is my second visit to Troni's! It's a little hidden Italian gem hidden in Kettering. It's nice to have an authentic Italian restaurant in Dayton! They are known for their pizzas and I have ordered them during my initial visit. It was delicious and the crust was amazing! I came here with a friend on a Wednesday night and it was already filled at 5:30 pm. They get crowded pretty quickly and they do not take reservations. I ordered a veggie lasagna and it came with a side salad and garlic knots. My friend ordered their special which was the lobster ravioli. Their portions are huge so do come hungry. Troni's will not disappoint if you are craving Italian food. read more

This is just a pretty middle of the road Italian place. The restaurant has the vibe of a pizza place more than a sit down dinner. The service is fine. Overall the food was just a lot of bland cheese, we tried a few different dishes and just felt it lacked a lot of seasoning or more interesting tastes. The house salad is what I would expect from a pizza place. I think if your only goal is lots of cheese it is a good enough place, if you like Italian with more flavor or interesting spices, try a different restaurant. I would recommend other local options. read more

My family loves Troni's!! The atmosphere is great and the food is fantastic. The staff has always been so nice and helpful.

If you are looking for not over sauced and truly authentic, go to Franco's. By the way, stay away from the veal. Did not resemble veal in any way. Very tough and flavorless. Because of the very good service, we are willing to give it one more try but with the pizza this time. read more
