Excellent martini selection, size and quality. Food is high quality, wonderful and tasty.

I love Bricco downtown and i was excited when i say there was one in fairlawn and the price are supposed to be lower. I first went for lunch the food and the cost was good, the service on the other had needed major improvement. I saw they had breakfast, so i decided to stop one morning, the food was average nothing out of this world. The Service at breakfast was HORRIBLE, the server offered more coffee to those who had it, but had to ask for more water a few times before i got it. told the manager and he did not seem to care. I have not been back for a while so maybe the service has improved, i sure hope it has

Recently dined at Cafe Bricco is a decent lunch and dinner spot. It was tasty, well seasoned and fulfilling. Bartender friendly and is an overall good spot for young travelers.

Good food! Good wine! Get the peppers stuffed with Italian sausage, chorizo, and cheese.

Decided to treat my bestie to lunch here for her birthday after our spa appointment...our musts were - patio, wine and decent food sans kids (we were without ours so we didn't want to ruin our "spa" day). Since we were down the street we thought we'd finally give Cafe Bricco a whirl and we were quite happy we did. We arrived just after 11am and the entire patio was open for our choosing. Grabbed a table in the sun, relaxed and ordered a bottle of wine (which they have a pretty decent selection - again my reviews will also tell you to just order the bottle). For lunch I couldn't decide between two sandwiches on the menu so I did a custom order - no problem and it was delicious. Definitely want to go back and try additional menu items as it was hard to choose. Service was great, but again we weren't in a hurry and took our time.

My second or third time at Cafe Bricco and first for breakfast was disappointing due to poor service and food quality. I've enjoyed my experiences at other Bricco restaurants, appreciating their innovative menus but service has never been anything above adequate. The service for breakfast at cafe Bricco was at an even lower level full of splashed coffee on the table, inattentive and messy serving staff. Our breakfast food would have felt right at home at a chain restaurant not what I envisioned for Cafe Bricco. I hope that this was an isolated incident though the service seems an ongoing concern.

Never again. Not only will I not set foot back in Bricco, but I'll never stay at the Doubletree because of the rude manager at Bricco. I tried to complain to the desk at the hotel and was told that the individual that had spoke to us the way he did was the Manager so not to put in a complaint until the next morning. We were locked on the Patio and knocked to be let back in...no one came...shook the door and the Manager came and opened the door. I assumed he was letting us back in. Instead he told us the door was locked (as he's standing in it) and that me and my fiancee can jump the fence to get back in....Seriously?! He then shut the door and walked back in. Yes, we're still standing on the patio locked out. This was at about 11:30. I jumped the fence, went the entire way around the building, back into Bricco and to the door that he just shut to let her in. Very rude and cost them my repeat business. This man does not need to be in a business that deals with the public...get him in an office behind a wall where he doesn't have to be bothered by paying customers.

Went to Cafe Bricco for a shared birthday lunch with a dear friend. Quiet due to the cold weather. Attentive wait staff who were willing to take a cellphone birthday photo. Great salad with pimentos, comforting cup of chicken vegetable soup, and fabulous grilled chicken pizza. Lots of available parking outside. Fair prices and great ambiance.

Was here with a large party. Normally a pretty quiet atmosphere with a relatively intimate feel to it. Service was decent, we actually got our food pretty quickly considering how many people we had in our party. Appetizers: had the pita with marinara/goatcheese and calamari. Both were pretty good. Entrees: Crab cake was acceptable- the 2 cakes were large in size, but there didn't seem to be much in terms of crab meat, it was mainly just bread or whatever other type of filling they use to stuff the cake with. It did come with a nice arugula salad and lots of haricot/green beans to balance the meal with. Fettuccine with grilled shrimp didn't fare as well. The shrimp themselves grilled nicely with a kick of pepper. By itself, the shrimp would have been excellent. However, the fettuccine and the sauce it was in was pretty bland, as in it looked and tasted like sauteed onions in half-and-half with corn starch or the like to thicken it up. Overall, would probably look else where before returning. Not a bad choice if you don't wish to venture out and are looking for a good drink and decent meal if you are staying at the adjoining DoubleTree.

Good drink selection and great food options. Always a nice seafood entree and good appetizers. Food is consistent and quality is high. We love this place! Not too loud and servers are very attentive. We love the Shrimp and. Scallop entree and crab cakes. You can always remove sauces or butter if you prefer.

I wouldn't go to this place again - even if I were staying in the hotel that it's attached to. The bartender Shannon was wandering around the restaurant when I say down at the bar so the host had to get me a drink after he noticed me waiting. The whole time I was there she was to busy telling trashy jokes with the locals to notice my empty glass. The other bartender (Wayne or dwanye) was the only one on the ball at all and it was his first day - I guess he hadn't had a chance to pick up her bad habits. In the time I was there two separate parties that walked in had to look around the restaurant for help because the host had wandered off. The pasta I had was decent but they brought me cold bread which was a put-off. It's worth it to go next door to beaux's. Easy choice.

been to dinner here a couple of times. very must like the regular bricco downtown (not just sandwiches and burgers like bricco pub). I love their food and they have good drinks as well. Restaurant is a little small but I have been seated pretty quickly without reservations.

Cafe Bricco has good food just like the location near Playhouse Square. It isn't exactly the same but if you like one, you'll like the other. Order a stiff drink or maybe a shot of liquor. You'll need it. Let me explain. I don't know you and you may or may not accept what I write as accurate or meaningful. Let's face it, you're on Yelp reading a review for a restaurant in Akron when you could be making the world a better place. I'm not judging you. You matter in some way to someone and that is why I am concerned for you. Getting into this restaurant involves you almost (or in fact) being involved in an automobile accident. You could very easily be injured in your quest to get a pizza with something on it other than pepperoni. If you try to get here from the highway, God help you. If you are coming in from Akron, it's russian roulette to cross the two lanes of route 18 with all the junker drunkards plowing into each other and cussing like they're from Columbus. If you are trying to get there from the road next to the mall directly across the street, you aren't going to make it. You are going to try, fail, and die unless you bulldog hard right and turn around way the hell out there by the Max and Erma's. "..but wait, Slick, that's three miles up the street...I'll just shoot across 18 and be there in a flash." No, friend. You won't. I have seen people dipped in plastic, skinned like a trout and posed in a museum with a basketball. I have tasted sausage. When I tell you that Bricco food is good, it may be right but by God when I tell you to be careful getting to this place, please accept my words like they are the most important you'll ever read. Please. Do it for the people that want a gift from you at Christmastime. I love you.

We found a new (for our family) place to go for breakfast on Sunday mornings! We've tried many of the local spots in Fairlawn and our experience at Bricco was wonderful! No waiting, good food, clean, inviting and the wait staff was on their 'A" game! We will definitely be back! Goodbye, First Watch. Goodbye Sweet Pea Cafe, See ya later Bob Evans! HELLO CAFE BRICCO!!! P. S. Our son and daughter-in-law love this place for lunch and dinner. We can't wait to try it.
