    Always a pleasant experience at Vernon's! Food is always delicious - I recommend the drunken chicken! Portions are more than enough & the kiddos get a free sundae with their meal! Everyone always leaves happy! Definitely a place to go if looking for good Italian food in the Youngstown area!

    I've had good meals at Vernon's. Last night was not one of them. But the wine steward was excellent and the wine cellar is killer. What's strange about a place like this is that they have cloth napkins, Caymus in the cellar but bring your dressing in a plastic container. And our waitress rushed us because we were "her last table".

    Ok we have been here twice in last 10 days. Flavors are great! Priced comparatively. Service very good! We will come again.

    I came here with my Mom and Grandma while I was in town for the weekend. I got shrimp scampi and it was perfect. They have gluten-free options and nice sized portions. I will be back soon.

    This is the most over priced Italian food in the area. Portions are so small -half the menu lacks flavor- your better off going to Olive Garden or take the drive to Boardman and eat at Nicolinnis or Cafe Capri!! Don't waste your $$

    Overpriced for the size of the portions for lunch. Meatballs were mushy. I had a salad with 3 rubbery little scallops that weren't even hot. The white balsamic dressing was very good however, and the bread was very good too.

    I work for a company that does educational seminars on energy conservation all year round, up and down most of the east coast, and I will state that this is without a doubt the BEST restaurant my company has thus far ever been too. From the minute I booked our reservation with Kara, I knew it was going to be a great event, as she was so attentive and eager to help with the whole planning of our event. The private dining room was fabulous, the wait staff was quick and attentive to all the guests needs. We had nearly 50 people in attendance both the nights of the event and were served their choice of Roast Sirloin Au jus, Chicken Fracaise, or Eggplant Parmigina. Out of two nights and practically 100 people, we did not hear a single complaint. Not at all to my surprise, most of our guests commented that this was their absolute favorite restaurant. The food was excellent, fresh, and steaming hot on arrival, and was delivered very quickly, especially for the size of our groups. This restaurant was so good to us we are revisiting them in only a few short weeks from now. I want to personally thank Vernon's Café, Kara, and all of the staff for making our event the best one we have had yet. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone. So if your in the Niles, Ohio area, or even in Ohio at all, and looking for not only the best food, but the best staff, and the best restaurant, then you absolutely have to stop and try this one out.

    Being Italian and from the Youngstown/Warren area isn't very original, but let me tell you, Vernon's is. If you go a little earlier than dinner hour, you're able to be seated almost immediately. I love taking my friends there who aren't from the area, and we always go for family celebrations. They possibly have the best food in the area, and it is not badly priced at all. I recommend the Chicken Marsala for a meal and the Greens for an appetizer. Seriously, go, you won't regret a dish there! The only negative to this place is that the seating area is so small and quaint! But the food is definitely the number 1 there!

    What to say, excellent atmosphere, great place. Super service. Food was the BEST filet mignon I have had. Shrimp was good, portion size was slightly above average. Overall, a great niight, a great time, and the place added to the experience. I highly recommend this place for the above casual yet not too stuffy dinner. Only negative I had was the relatively long wait despite reservations. There was obviously NO reason to believe a reservation did anything other than eventually get you seated. Still, excellent food and super supporting staff made the grade!

    This place has always been fabulous and I've been eating here both through dine-in and carry out for 15 years, if not longer. The calamari 3 ways is my favorite, and it's so good, it's even good after being carried out and taken home, which fried food soemtimes isn't. The desserts are fabulous too!

    Our work had a retirement party for a co-worker, which included around 25 people. We brought a cake in and was charged 1.50$ per person to serve. The manager was loud and unprofessional while dealing with us... We were told we would be in a separate room,which did not happen. This party was planned over several weeks and nothing was mentioned about the added charge,or how many we needed for the special room. Portions were small and overpriced. We will not be going there for any more events.

    I had an enjoyable dinner here. I had one of their daily specials, Chicken Relleno. This was a stuffed rolled chicken breast, cooked with a sauce, and covered with mushrooms and italian greens. The stuffing was prosciutto and provolone. Their portions are generous; my meal included two chicken breasts, and I took one home. Others in my party also took home parts of their dinner. We had the leftovers for another dinner. We also enjoyed the bruschetta appetizer. It had melted cheese on toasted bread topped with chopped tomato bruschetta, garlic, and olive oil. The restaurant was busy. There were several larger groups of 8 to 15 people. We had reservations and were seated immediately ahead of some others waiting for tables. The waiter was efficient but a little brash. I would gladly return to Vernon's.

    Went here last night. I normally love their food. I got the pappardelle pasta with lobster scallops n shrimp. ....sauce was watery n bland plus lobster was gummy n only got two scallops and two shrimp....not worth 25 bucks... Would have sent it back but with large group I didn't want to make a scene.... Not driving to niles again for a long time:(

    Went to Vernons for dinner on New Years Eve. Have been on several occasions and even with the limited menu for New Years everything was superb. As always we felt like the only people there.

    Excellant food, Love the place for lunch, it takes on a different feel at night, Im not one for hanging out in a bar listening to men use foul language while im eating, because a game theyre watching isnt going their way. So im a big fan for lunch, cant go wrong. Guess you cant have it all,

    I stopped in for lunch with some family. The service was sparse but our waitress hustled and didn't miss a beat. the food was very good. Italian bread was enormous! A great spot to duck in to eat.

    Last night my family and I had dinner here, in general, the food was good. I had walleye over a asparagus risotto, this was a good dish, but could be better, a little less cream wouldn't make it as sweet, and less salt. My wife ate chicken Parm. She always orders it here, she enjoyed it, but said the sauce had changed, and was better after adding graded cheese, and pepper flakes. Our kids had spaghetti, and grilled cheese. They both are as much as they could. Of course they had ice cream, I had a blood orange sorbet which was delicious! Good here is always really good, but not always a home run!

    Wonderful Italian resturant. Many of the locals eat here and the food 99% of the time is fantastic. I rate this as one of the best places to eat in the Mahoning Valley. I would also like to recommend their cheese ravioli, it is home made and the best I have ever eaten. You won't be disappointed here.

    Vernon has been able to make his restaurant one of, if not the best in the area. This is a highly ethnic area, specifically Italian. Being Italian I usually do not order italain out but they have sauce that is good for a restaurant. My husbands favorite is their linguini and clams. If you want a good steak aske for Besteca, even if it's not on the menu. It will melt in your mouth. Their house raspberry vinegarette is very good. One this that makes this a great restaurant is the portions are good size for the money and very consistent in taste. The staff is very professional. The ambiance is Mediterranean and attire can be jeans to suit. The dining room is small but there are more tables in the bar area and side area. In the summer there is a small sitting area under a grapevine arbor which is very nice but right next to the parking lot.

Italian Cuisine

The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.

Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.

If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
