We hadn't been there for quite a while and were pleasantly surprised at how good the food was and the special three course meals were priced below $20. I would definitely recommend giving Cafe 422 a try if you haven't been for awhile!

This was the best restaurant on the strip when the Abruzzi's owned it, but those days are gone....my sons salmon was raw in the center, my chicken was dry and too hard to chew.....the server was wonderful, and i loved the new open decor, but without good food, what is the point?

I wanted to like this place. I ordered a Bloody Mary which tasted like tomato juice and vodka it had no flavor. The hot peppers in oil were tasty by far the best part of the meal. The salad was sub par with the warm spinach salad not warm of flavorful.

So my husband and I went to Cafe 422 for our Thanksgiving dinner yesterday. I have been going to this place since I lived in Warren back in the 1970's. If this had been my first visit I would never return!I was disappointed to say the least. Our fried mozzarella appetizer was wonderful, but the rest of the meal was sorely lacking.My wedding soup was mediocre, one lone meatball and the chicken was very dry. How you get dry chicken in soup is beyond me. When our meal came, I was surprised to see sauteed mixed veggies (not a fan) instead of the green beans, which,btw, the waitress never mentioned. The turkey was good, but my mashed potatoes were very grainy and the stuffing was horrible,like wet bread. I was also not happy with my dessert which was a very dry pumpkin cheesecake.Our waitress was either very tired from a long day or something because she was a space cadet! Never offered bread, took forever to bring the silverware, the list goes on. But she was very prompt with our check,lol I am usually not one to complain,but this was not a pleasant experience. We will go back there,because the food and service is normally wonderful. Hoping this was just due to a very busy place on a very busy day.

I ordered the calamari first and then the gnocchi. The food was great here. I will definitely come back the next time in town

Absolutely terrible. The food was inedible. Seriously one of the worst meals I have ever had. Third bad experience there and it is definitely the last.

We have been here before and was disappointed. The calamari was overcooked and my brunch waffle was microwaved and the bacon was deep fried. So while I was eating the waffle you could barely cut through it and the service was slow . The only saving grace was the mimosa and a t was slow on the refills.

Love coming here and sitting at the bar ! All the customers are kind so you will always have someone to talk to. The servers are friendly and helpful and the owners are always here. The live music by John Reese Project when they are here is wonderful. I recommend the marsala dishes, the lamb lollipops, and the mesclun salad.

Dated, expensive and not very good.We were in the area and read good reviews, and we were in the mood for Italian, so we gave this old-school place a shot. I wish we had not.The location is on a busy street next to a crappy strip mall, and the decor is right out of the 60s. The overly-brightly-lit, and charmless dining room was empty on a Saturday night, so we sat at the bar. The bartender was friendly and offered excellent service.The service, and gigantic portions, could not make up for the terrible food. Both our veal parmigana and chicken marsala were dry as sand and under-seasoned, and the pasta e fagioli (oddly called Italian Wedding Soup by the bartender) was wildly over-salted and too peppery. The marinara sauce, a staple in a place like this was thick and well-prepared.These 2 dishes, plus one drink each and a sole desert was $95 after tip.Not recommended, especially in northeast Ohio, where there are lots of good red sauce joints.

My previous visit several months ago to Cafe 422 in Boardman was quite a different experience than tonight, June 2, 2024. I ordered the one price meal as I had previously which include a salad, center cut pork chops, seasonal vegetables, and creme breeze for dessert.The salad was good. The seasonal vegetables were described by the server as a mix of zucchini and squash. Zucchini is squash, but okay. It came as zucchini with red peppers. Fortunately, I was okay with the peppers. I ran out of water and asked the server for a refill, but never got one. Fortunately, those I was dining with spotted a pitcher just beyond our booth, so we refilled my glass ourselves. The pork chops were tough and flavorless. This was quite a disappointment. I ordered pork chops on my previous visit and they were moist and flavorful. I believe they had some kind of glaze previously. Tonight, they did not. The creme bruele came to the table cold and without the anticipated crunchy glaze. The server commented that they said something to the chef when retrieving it the first time but was told it was fine. I sent it back and it was returned with the glaze and so hot that it was runny and burned my tongue. So, I have to ask. Do they have a new chef. This was my favorite restaurant after my first visit. Now, I doubt I will return.
