    New to the area, wife was in need of a spaghetti fix, so we stopped in. Will be back! Her spaghetti was great; i had the left-overs next day. My baked lasagna was outstanding. Good service, good food, good prices, definitely a 'family' kind of place. Hint -- perhaps the reason 'the place hasn't changed in years' is that they've found what works?

    This place hasn't changed in years. Well, the food hasn't. The prices have. I remember when you two people could eat for less than $12. I digress. Same friendly service and same basic, tasty Italian food. Just as I remembered it.

    This is a local gem, a family owned restaurant selling good food at a reasonable price. The original restaurant was opened in downtown Akron, and multiple locations surrounding Akron soon thereafter. The menu is basic: salads, sub sandwiches, pizza and create your own pasta (which includes side salad and garlic bread). Portions are generous and you can easily order a meal for less than $10 and come away satisfied. The sauce is good, not unforgettable, and the meats and pasta are well prepared. The salads are large and contain fresh vegetables. The house creamy Italian dressing is good. Service is very attentive and friendly. Overall, worth a visit for some solid, family, Italian food.

    The kind of place where the regulars have been coming in for the past 40 years. Parasson's is stodgy Italian dinning straight from the 70's (with matching decor!). If you're looking for heavy sauces, breaded meat, and a thick melted layer of cheese over everything you order, then this place is for you! Now, there is some good to Parasson's. The service was courteous and prompt, food was served hot and in a reasonable time, and the portions are well worth the money. With an updated menu (and some new decor) this place could do pretty well but until then, I'll pass.

    Got Baked Lasagna and a couple other dishes in our party. First of all why do they have Lasagna and Baked Lasagna as two different dishes? Lasagna is always baked and should always be served with melted cheese. I got Baked Lasagna and it came in a dish which had been under the broiler. It was in a bed of sauce and a thin layer if cheese. Overall OK but the pasta inside was a bit mushy and dense.. couldn't quite tell what the mix was between the noodles but it was different. We tried the tomato based sauce and meat sauce.. both we OK not stellar. The penne pasta was overdone and quite mushy.

    Good food Huge portions Big enough you can share I am a big guy who eats and I am not able to finish my pasta dish Expensive to eat there but portions are huge Left money once on the table cause I did not need change and left. Sometimes waiting for a waitress to take of the bill can take awhile! You know to pay for my meal and left tip. Was chased down in the parking lot for not paying! Is there a rule that states I must pay at the counter? And check your table before jumping to conclusions. It is a sit-down establishment so I don't see the need for the counter unless you need change but hey Small problem just a little annoyed is all

    Eating dinner in the "sun" room during a thunderstorm is one of my favorite luxuries in life... how long have I been doing that? How long has it been since I have done that? I am NOT admitting that... the word "decades" is enough :-) I hope that the quality isn't slipping... we closed the joint on a weeknight and the Italian Wedding Soup was gummy... but the pasta and garlic bread was great! The service was also spot on.. with frequent refills... so 1 star deduction for the soup and crossed fingers for the next visit. I sooooo miss the mega sized meatball... the 2 smaller ones were still good... but I soooo enjoyed slicing and dicing and portioning. The bathrooms are still not wheelchair accessible, but there is a spiffy take out area now... as long as you can get up some steps.

    Decent food at a good price. The atmosphere is OK, but you don't go here for the atmosphere. You go there for the portions, service and great prices. They deliver never ending garlic bread that will fill you up before the food comes. They don't serve alcohol and at one time they were "cash" only, but I think that has changed. I love ordering their rigatoni and salad for birthday parties. For $30 you get enough food to easily feed ten and still have left overs!

    This place is pretty much an truck stop that servers Italian food. The only thing I really like is the Hawaiian Pizza. I order some cheese raviolis on the side last visit and I am certain that there pasta is not made fresh. The service was good and the place was clean which helps. This restaurant is used by us primarily when every other place is full. It does the job but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Last time we were there I noticed a wet floor sign in the middle of the lobby....on a carpet.

    After seeing all of the good reviews it makes me wonder about some of the people living around here and their understand of what good is. But I do have to admit growing up my family had an Italian restaurant. That being said the experience my date and I had was terrible at best. The service was amateurish and the place wasn't all that clean. At worst we both had different dishes and we both experienced Montezuma's revenge at some point in the early morning after our not so wonderful dining experience. If I could give a negative star I would. Parrasson's is a blight in the dining world.

    Great local restaurant for inexpensive, Americanized Italian food and yummy pizza. The service is generally decent and the food is pretty good. The place can be hit or miss with atmosphere. There are always a ton of kids there, so be prepared for that. The place is great for takeout, too, if you don't want to dine in.

    Great food at a reasonable price! We go for lunch at least four times a month and you can't beat the value! The garlic bread is delicious and the personal size pizza's are perfect. My only complaint is the outdated décor, but if it keeps the prices low - who cares!! Great wait staff too - very attentive and friendly :)

    Worst food ever. They should be embarrassed to call this Italian!

    This is another Stow restaurant in need of a makeover. The decor is tired. The food was delicious and the server was good and had refills there when the glasses went empty. My only complaint is that we got there before they closed but the teenage kids were trying to clean up and get out of there. There was a server using a broom on the carpeted floor with in five feet of our table. Another teenager was using a electric sweeper inthe room next to ours. Would I go back? Of course!!!

    One of the many reasons im glad i don't live in stow anymore. I was not a fan of their food. I see alot of people saying inexpensive but you get what you pay for. If you have small pockets and low standards you'll love this place.

    I used to really enjoy Parasson's, but I don't go much any more, and here's why: (1) the restaurant hasn't been updated in forever, so it has a very tired, worn-out, uncomfortable feel; (2) they switched from Coke to Pepsi; (3) the salads used to be so good, but now they're ho-hum; (4) the tomato sauce is different, way too strong and salty; (5) the bathroom in the basement. I used to go there just for the garlic bread, but that was a million years ago when it was made there in the restaurant with sub buns. Now it's the same bread you buy at the grocery store. I'd like to be a regular again, but I don't see it happening.

    Who doesn't love Parasson's? I love how this place has been here ever since I can remember, and the food and atmosphere are always the same. Sure, it's simple and predictable, but sometimes that can be a good, comforting thing. The prices used to be pretty cheap, but not anymore. That's the only down side. We used to always choose Parasson's because we always had good experiences, it was easy, and it was cheap, but I can't say we go there for the prices anymore.

    My boyfriend and I love this place! It's inexpensive, it's fast and the servers always polite and friendly. Their hours are a bit early for closing but I appreciate the place for what it is and what it offers. I'd recommend it to anyone!

    Parasson's is a sentimental favorite for me. Growing up in nearby Tallmadge, my group of pals spent EVERY autumn Friday night of our high-school years (at least once we could drive) at this location. The endless garlic bread and dirt-cheap prices for solid Italian-American food were the draw back then, but almost twenty years later I find myself returning for killer take-out antipasto salads and such when I'm in town visiting the family. Still an very honest value for a solid meal so I still hold Parasson's in a special place in my heart.

    Great Italian food, sandwiches, soup, and the staff is very friendly.

    This is a local hole in the wall that's a good place to take the family. Portions are good, the food is good but not great. My kids really liked it. None of us were able to finish our meal, so we had plenty of leftovers to take home. They do have beer, and they do take credit cards.

    Sound Italian food in an attractive setting with attentive staff and sound service. Imagine a tudor home with a four-season room that has been turned into a restaurant and you have the idea. Basic Italian classics, nothing adventuresome; good quality ingredients and preparation, although occasionally the pasta is not sufficiently hot. Do watch so the occasional shortcuts, such as frozen chicken tenders being used both for the kids meals and the chicken parmesan (what's with that?). Cheesy muzak--hope you like mob movie soundtrack. Aims to please families and an aging clientele. Short story: good food, attractive setting, good service, and a couple quirks. Worth a try, and a good value overall.

    I went on so many dates here with my college boyfriend - I think we kept the place in business! Nah, their really consistent Italian food did that just fine. I had the baked cheese ravioli or baked lasagna when we came here, the salad and bread came with the meal as well. Super casual, low cost, which made it great for college students (like us). It's great for families and groups.

    Some of my earliest restaurant memories are from this restaurant. My family used to come all the time and now it is a tradition to come with my friends from high school when we all get together. The food is delicious but simple. The garlic bread is the best and they have the best creamy italian salad dressing I have ever tasted. It is very casual and pretty cheap but that doesn't make it any less good.

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.
