Scarsella's Restaurant — Restaurant in Youngstown

We went there for a surprise birthday party for my husband, had a party of 13 people. The service was a little slow, had to ask the waitress several times for bread with our meals. The food was good but when the waitress brought the checks, my brother in law and his wife got stuck with a check from 4 people at a completely different table, they were not even part of our group! The waitress misunderstood my sister in law when she said she wanted to pay for 4 people at our table, herself, her husband, my husband and me. When the mistake was brought to the attention of the manager/owner, he said that he knew the other party and would let them know what had happened in hope that they would make it right and reimburse my in laws. What he should have done is taken their portion of the check off my in-laws check and either contacted the other party if he knew them so well and explained the situation or the waitress should have been accountable for the mistake since it was her misunderstanding what was said. Why would anyone pay for dinner for people we didn't know and that were not even part of our group? Very dissatisfied and disappointed in how this was handled and probably will not go back. Plus they charge you a % of your check to use a credit or debit card, more then what the card company charges!! They even called the police!! WTH?!! One waitress who wasnt even our waitress but felt the need to approach our table was sarcastic and extremely rude and stuck her nose in the situation the other...

Second time eating here. Both times were for Mothers Day. We were meeting our son and his wife. He lives in Akron and we live near Pittsburgh Airport. So it's about half way each direction. The building inside gives a nice retro old time restaurant feeling. Almost like going to Gram's house for Sunday dinner! Staff greeted us with smiles. All seemed very pleasant and happy. Menu has plenty of choices. Prices are very reasonable. Beer and wine available. I do believe there is a small bar. I just didn't pay attention to that. Food came pretty quick. Nice size portions and hot. Dinner salads are not the biggest, but they do the job. Our dinners consisted of Chicken Parm, Veal Parm, Hot Sausage sandwich, a couple different pastas, ravioli and lasagne. We had fried calamari , mozzarella sticks and wedding soup for appetizers. Unlimited bread and butter. Not a single issue or complaint on anything. Waitress was super, checked on us frequently. If we needed anything she was right on top of it. I highly recommend that if you are looking for a nice family owned Italian restaurant with good food give this place a try. We haven't been disappointed in two times eating here and hopefully you...

Ill start by saying the staff is always friendly and welcoming. The pasta shells with sauce and meatballs are delicious! My last visit was a little strange to say the least, I ordered eggplant parm and when it was brought out right away I took a look at it and thought something doesn’t look right with this eggplant and the cheese on top of it. It almost looked like it had sit out for a day or two and then was reheated. I love eggplant so right away I knew something was off especially because it looked gray at the edges, I took one bite out of it and it tasted awful, it tasted rotten with a hint of freezer burn. I politely asked for a to go box and went on with my day but I keep thinking of how horrible that eggplant tasted. Something was definitely not right with that eggplant. I feel bad for leaving 2 stars but I can’t help thinking of that horrible taste and how someone thought it was acceptable to serve that to a customer, just looking at it you can definitely tell it looks old, zoom into the pic and look at the actual edges of the eggplant. I honestly never had eggplant taste like...
