Reviews for Michael Alberini's Restaurant in Youngstown, OH

Great atmosphere and friendly waiter/waitress food was excellent and presentation was beautiful. Will be returning in the near... future!!! Read more

I agree with the other lady, you can get better food elsewhere at a better price. The food here always has a spicy glaze or... cream sauce. Be aware now, they charge a credit card fee. The waitress should have informed me. I ordered the salmon. Theglaze was so spicy, I had to return it. The price on the menu was $20. When I got the bill the salmon was $25. Theycharged me $5 for the returned salmon that was too spicy. Again, the waitress should have informed me of the charge. I wouldhave left the meal set there and left. Would not go back to this restaurant on a dare. No communication with the customers. She was in a hurry any way. Read more

I have eaten here a couple of times and typically found the experience to be decent. However, while the food is good, it is... definitely not worth the money. You can find much better food for the same price at several different restaurants throughoutthe area. The service is very hit and miss with no clear quality standards visible. I wish the service and food was as greatas the atmosphere. However, I strongly recommend people spend money elsewhere. The erratic and morally dubious owner has hadstandoffs with police and, most recently, allegedly violated a restraining order to deliver a check which stated "lookingforward to your dad's obituary, yours too." The restaurant isn't remotely close to good enough to warrant giving my money tosuch a despicable person. Employees here should run while they can to find a more mentally stable employer. Read more

Essence was my server and she was phenomenal! My glass never went empty! She was extremely attentive! The ambiance is nice would... be a lovely date night location!! The food is everything I hoped for and more! The bread comes to the table nice and warm. Thefresh wedge of butter tastes fresh like they are making it in the back. I ordered the Chicken piccata and It was veryauthentic!! From the delicious sauce to the perfect mushroom and artichokes!! The chicken was so tender I didn?t need myknife!! Will I be back! Yes this is hands down the best Italian restaurant in town. Very impressed Read more

Very comfortable atmosphere. The food is great.

Our waitress was Blair, she was wonderful and kept us updated when the kitchen was getting behind. They were very busy but the... wait was well worth it. Definitely will go back again. Read more

Quality food. My steak was overdone, however they exchanged it no problem. The waiter did seem a bit too smug for my liking, but... I think that was just his personality. ??????? Also, if you want shrimp added, make sure to tell them not to put it on top ofyour steak. Kind of ruins the flavor of the steak. Still highly recommend. Just be specific when ordering. The dried cherryfilet mignon medallions my significant other ordered was amazing! Crab cake was nice and full of meat rather than breadcrumbles! Caprese salad had fresh delicious mozzarella and the balsamic they used to pair it was amazing. Hungarian hot pepperswere not hot, but still good. Read more
