Cipollina

Wonderful little gem in Akron. Worth a drive to this quaint little Italian restaurant. We have tried many of the choices on their Fall/​Winter menu and everything was wonderful. It starts with a great choice of salads and appetizers. We highly recommend the Cipollina salad and the beet salad is amazing. The Tagliatelle bolognese sauce was delicious and served piping hot. The chef made several stops at our table and his pride in the dishes he served was a pleasure to witness. Prices are very reasonable, portions are generous and the staff is so warm and welcoming. We highly recommend Cipollina.

We recently celebrated our anniversary at one of the finest Italian restaurants in WNY. A relatively new restaurant serving fantastic homemade Italian dishes, The best I’ve had since my trip to Italy. Service was perfect, the chef and his wife came out to visit with us and even served us an wonderful dessert for our celebration. All in all a perfect dinner. We will definitely return.

We had an absolutely phenomenal meal here, we had two restaurant week specials. Incredible deal– everything was truly so good and unique that it’s hard to pick a favorite, but the fresh handmade mozzarella was packed with flavor. The beef braised short rib melted and fell apart in your mouth, it brought me back to Europe, it was such a classic rustic dish. The chicken parm was also fantastic and a very generous portion. The pasta dishes were great. The penne with crumbled sweet sausage and caramelized onion with mushroom was outstanding, the sausage was sweet and paired nicely with the onion which added a touch a crunch. Our wine was outstanding a Robert mondavi cab. Aside from the food, the décor is very nice there is a hand painted mural on one wall done by the owners brother and the other wall has black and white photos of the owners family in Italy, weddings etc. It’s a true family establishment. The chef came out and visited, which was great he is fluent in Italian, takes frequent trips and is well versed with true Italian dishes. Hands down some of the best Italian food I’ve ever eaten.

Not a bad item on the menu. Come check out this brand new gem in the heart of Akron. Classic food is not just in downtown Buffalo. Take a ride out to the country and enjoy classic rich dishes!
