I have had the pleasure of eating at this restaurant in the past but tonight was not a good experience. The hostess definitely needs some training, she was extremely lost and overwhelmed. She told us she was cleaning our table and she will seat us as soon as it's clean. She then sat another family who came in after us there..She stated she had a reservation she wasn't aware of so she gave our table away because hee boss told her to after telling us it was ours. This is extremely unprofessional, distasteful, and disrespectful as we were standing there with our two young children. I honestly don

We went to Salem for a new Bible and noticed this restaurant playing wonderful music outside. We decided to give it a try. We were not disappointed. We ordered the mozzarella appetizer and it was delicious. It could be a meal alone with the amazing garlic oil drizzle bread they served. For our entrees we ordered chicken parmigiana and chicken franchise. The portion was very generous and the chicken was cooked to perfection. We will absolutely come back. It’s beautifully decorated and very clean. The staff was friendly and they have great leftover containers.

Have been there twice. I’ll keep going back. Food is really good and servers are tops. Very attentive and polite and hustling. Others pitch in if yours is busy without having to call them.

I've been around Salem a lot over the last 15 years. This was the first time that I have had the pleasure of eating here. My wife and I had a wonderful meal. Tabby was our server/bartender, and she was terrific. We loved the atmosphere. Meal was brought out, spaced well. Wine was very good. All in all, a great time. We really enjoy the experience of eating in a family owned Italian restaurant. We'll be back soon.

Very nice family owned Italian experience! Huge fan of Mama's peppers in oil. Dressings are great and the chicken Parm is my go to. Watch for the specials as they don't disappoint.

Yummy spot in a small town! We had a large group and they were able to accommodate us. Friendly staff! All of our food came out at the same time. Large portions! Cheap drinks! I would go back for more gnocchi and meatballs!

What a Great old fashion dining experience. The service was top notch and the atmosphere is something you don't find all that much these days.
Now, the food; Off the charts from the bread, to the soup to any of the dishes: Just old school Fantastic!
Haven't been here for a year or so but it will be a frequent visit from now on.

Went here w/the entire family this weekend, and we we're very happy w/our experience. A lot of us had the Chicken Parm & they were happy w/their orders. I had the Veal Parm & it was very good! Cannoli's were a disappointment though. While they were good, these were not the best I've ever had. I'll leave it at that.
The service was superior! Our waiter was friendly, attentive, & was able to suggest items from the menu. The wait(s) on times were somewhat long, but we did have a split bills & large ones at that. Nothing too much, though.
Overall, it was a very

From the garlic bread to the homemade cannoli, Ezio's was amazing. Great atmosphere, very nice and extremely helpful server.
I got the chicken marsala on homemade gnocchi. The gnocchi was the best I have ever eaten. Little clouds that melted in my mouth and held the sauce well (even a thin sauce like marsala).
The mozzarella block was great! It sits on a bed of homemade marinara... yummmmm!
I will be making excuses to travel to Salem for work more often!

Amazing place - excellent, fresh food. Our server was fantastic and made great recommendations. We had the deep fried lasagna that was covered in a vodka sauce and I had the chicken Marsala over gnocchi. We had the bananas foster for dessert. Also had a glass of Pinot Grigio which was nice and light. The gnocchi was done perfectly and the chicken was a nice portion and well done. The bread was also really really good! We enjoyed the salads with the house and ranch dressings as well. The buffalo shrimp appetizer was a nice light bite that we ate with ranch. All in all - great experience and will

Service was absolutely terrible! I do feel bad that she seemed new but no one was helping to train her. She knew nothing on the menu and informed us several things that were wrong (learned when they came out). Food was about a C - pizza had good flavor but was soggy in the middle. Couldn't order chicken wings because (server said) they needed to thaw 2 days and it had only been 1? Probably will not be back.

Went here with a party of 3 no one came to the table for 15 minutes had to ask for a server
Our server was the owner she's 77 when she came she asked for our drinks and we said we would like to go ahead and order
She rolled her eyes and said I have 3 tables but go ahead , I asked for water she brought me a pitcher with no glass, she never said your welcome once when we repeatedly said thank you
After the meal I paid and should get change back 15 minutes later I had to go to the bar and ask them for it.
I will never go back at a certain point you have to be true to yourself and say I&apos

The food was okay; but the service was terrible. I got baked ziti, which was not ziti, but penne and not baked. Our dishes stated on the menu they came with garlic bread, in which we never received after asking.
Took over 20 minutes for someone to get our drinks and order; our food came with salads; and it took over 40 minutes for us to receive our salad, then less than 5 minutes later, our food was out. Not impressed.

Stopped here because we were passing through and it was the only rated place that was on the way. The hostess gave the people in front of us attitude for wanting a booth, drinks sat empty for 5 minutes in an empty restaurant, entrees came out cold to the touch.

Most restaurant disappoint me. Lack of service, substandard food, dirty, etc etc etc. In a good way, thankfully, Ezio's broke the trend.

The service was above average. The appetizer was different! A maple waffle topped with ham then a fried egg and finally cheese. Yummy!!

Next was the salad. I have to say, it was kind of small. Just some Romain hearts cut up, 2 slices of a Roma tomato and the house vinnegrett. But it was good.

Now the entree's. My wife had the cheese ravioli with a marinara cheese sauce which she loved. I had the Linguini and Clam sauce but with a twist. It was a light

We went group of 6 and was told 5 mins. It took more than 10 mins. Every thing took too long. For appetizer we ordered carpaccio once then were told it was out after too long. We wished they told us that a lot earlier. My daughter needed ketchup and barbecue sauce for her dish. We asked and waited waited waited....... I walked to the waiter again to make sure it's coming before she finishes her food.

Well one of my favorite Italian Restaurants which I always in the past looked forward too has officially gone down hill. I urge you to look elsewhere or don't have high expectations. In the past it was seriously a great small town classic Italian restaurant. I sadly write this review after a third lousy meal in 12 month span and this was the worst of all. I can forgive a bad night or so but this many occurrences over a long course of time lead me to this review.

I ordered a mushroom risotto with sea scallops. My wife had the risotto in the past and enjoyed it. She also ordered tilapia on

This was another one of our local Ohio vacation spots. My mother has been eating here for some time and she loves the food! Service was good and know that they will change something to fit persons needs. We ordered the gnocchi with peas and bacon(which who can say no), the aligo with fettuccini, portobello and artichoke as well as the spaghetti & meatballs. Overall I must say they did a excellent job. The pasta is clearly made fresh and the ingredients seemed to be fresh. My only harp would be the sodium level, While salt can enhance flavor, to much can take away from the flavor of what&apos

My husband and I came here by mistake. What a wonderful mistake to make! We originally drove down to Salem to try DeRienzo's but mistook the Ezio's sign for it. We had already parked and a couple on the way in highly recommended it so we decided to go for it. We are very glad we did.

We started with the bruschetta which came in pizza form. Very light and delicious. The crust was wonderful. My husband ordered the lasagna which he really enjoyed. Good flavor in the sauce and a creaminess in every bite. I had the pasta primavera with spinach, mushrooms and artichoke hearts. It

We stopped at Ezio's on our way to a basketball game at the local high school. We hit the jackpot!
The service was great and the food was exceptional!
I ordered a calzone. The pastry was thin and crispy and the filling of sausage, pepperoni, peppers and sauce was so delicious. The others ordered seafood entrees and they too raved about them.

Please give this great restaurant a try!!

We will be going back !

I wish I could give this a good review. I've been eating here since I was in high school and I'm sad to say that it's just not what it used to be. The owners are SO incredibly sweet, but they hire servers who do know not how to serve, or be friendly. The food has really gone down hill, also. Portions are smaller, food is only sub par. We've even taken the owners suggestions on what to order, and it's just been 'bleh'.

The décor is cute, and the restaurant is always clean, so I guess that's good.
