D'Agnese's Bistro Seven Hills

Love the food always great the risotto changed a little which is disappointing but it's still very good and reasonably priced.

Awesome. I was greeted with a smile. Served promptly, and the food is awesome. I am so glad they reopened in seven hills. Love this place

I had an opportunity to eat at D'Agnese's one night when I was in Akron. I am alway in search of good Italian food and there are some good places to eat in this part of Ohio.I started with a bowl of Italian Wedding Soup. I thought it had a nice flavor with only a few meatballs. There was a little pastina pasta but not a lot. It was good but not great. I had a house salad with the house dressing as my next course. The salad greens were firm and fresh. I liked that it was not an iceberg lettuce salad that some places pass off. The salad had fresh mozzarella which was very firm and lacking flavor. The dressing was not much to talk about as well.My main course was a sautéed calamari dish with Kalamata olives over fettuccine in a spicy marinara. This is the main reason why I give this restaurant a four-star rating. The calamari was cooked perfectly, not over cooked like many places serve. The fettuccine was cooked al-dente. The sauce had pieces of stewed tomatoes in it. It was a yummy dish.The service was good and my waiter mad sure my water glass was full. The maître d' was friendly and seated me right away. It was helpful that the restaurant was not busy. I would recommend this place for people looking for good Italian food.

The worst experience I have had in my whole dinner lifeI ordered crab stuffed mushroom. That fake crab was very low quality that had really strange taste and they should have described as fake crab instead of crab. And I also ordered spicy seafood pasta.Because, I like pasta, seafood and spicy. Calamari was too dried I couldn't eat and mussel got too much fish smell I was afraid to eat pasta because I can't afford sickness.I decided not to eat and asked a check. Surprisingly, they charge me the pasta clearly I home eat and didn't want to take to home

D'Agnese's Bistro in Seven Hills is a relatively new addition to the landscape of local Italian Restaurants, but certainly no newcomer - Franco Boffice has been in the restaurant business his whole life, his father operated restaurants around Montreal, Quebec before Franco opened his first restaurant in New Jersey, on the Jersey Shore in 1968. He opened at the corner of Pleasant Valley and Broadview in 1989 and has been going strong ever since, moving the restaurant operation to Royalton Road near Broadview and running a party center in the Seven Hills spot before converting it back into a sit down restaurant.The food is classic Italian with a broad selection of sandwiches, salads, pastas and beef, chicken and seafood entrees. The decor is contemporary; well lit and comfortable with white paper on the tables. The Italian soundtrack was your standard "Frank and Dino" sort of thing, probably a little on the loud side but the restaurant had only two parties dining when we came in.At the time of this review, there is a "Like us on Facebook" special plus an online coupon that was very lucrative for our party of five - the "Like" special resulted in a free order of Bruschetta; the coupon resulted in two free pizzas for the table since we were a party of five.The bruschetta was big; 16-20 total pieces of perfectly toasted bruschetta topped with a very fresh tasting tomato, celery and basil topping dressed in a tangy sort of vinaigrette with a balsamic drizzle. The Pizzas were small appetizer pizzas, with white sauce and roasted chicken and artichoke hearts. They were also accompanied by diced tomatoes dressed with a vinaigrette on greens. The potato soup and the sausage soup were amazing. The potato soup was slightly cheesy, creamy and earthy. The sausage soup was spicy and meaty. One of our party had the Bistro Salad which was a large dinner salad with roasted chicken. She enjoyed it and the vinaigrette it came with - the portion was very large. The order of kid's spaghetti and meatballs was declared delicious and completely finished. We also brought home most of a Pollo Pesto pizza; feta cheese and chicken and artichoke hearts with pesto on a light crust, an excellent pizza but there was so much food we couldn't finish.We also ordered spaghetti carbonara which was very good, and the smothered chicken came with gnocchi and red sauce - perfectly fork tender gnocchi, sweet but savory sauce - it was very good. And the chicken was delicious also; pounded and seared, then smothered in cheese, mushroom, mustard sauce and bacon. Too much to finish.There was no dessert; we didn't have a chance after all the food we ate let alone what we brought home.All in all, a good dinner and the service was pretty good as well. Our waiter was knowledgeable and generally prompt and we didn't feel like we waited for our food. We enjoyed everything about our visit to D'Agnese's Bistro in Seven Hills today and are likely to return.Wed - Sat they are open til 10 PMSundays they close at 6.

D'Agnese's is a delight to have at an affordable price. Its not often enough I get to write such reviews for such wondeful places. You can read my entire review but let me sum it up quicklyBountiful Poritions, Excellent Service, and awesome atmosphere at an affordable price.My wonderful GF & I visitd this site a few weeks back after always seeing how busy it is (compared to the competitor directly accross the street) and wondeful smell when driving by.As soon as we walked in the door we were greeted by pleasant staff who asked us if we had reservations. We said yes and were promptly taken to our seats.The menu is big....good selection, Many choices and the hostess also briefed us on the nights special plates.After examining the menu, both agreeing there is a great selection, we chose to go all out. Prices seemed great but we werent sure how the portions were going to be, and let me tell you....they were plenty, especially for 2 people who had litterally not eaten all day. We started off with soup and appetizers....Italian Wedding & Tomato Basil. I had the Italian wedding and it was quite tasty....mildly oily but nonetheless good tasting and good porition. My date was quite pleased with her tomato basil and i too agreeed that the blend of essence of tomato and basil is my mouth was soothing. Our appetizers came out with our bottle of Red Wine...which I think was a Zinfindel.....I ordered stufffed italian sausage peppers and my girl recieved crab cakes.With these kinds of appetizers, the portions are usually very small and kinda poor quality....not the case here2 butterflied full size hot peppers overflowing with sausage atop a light tomato sauce marinade. PERFECTION. The Crab cakes were good....but I think the sausage overshined them. She agreed.Our dinner plates were Veal Saltimbocca & Pan Seared Scallops with risotto.The veal was greeat. Amazing portion of veal. scallops perfection.i forget what the sides were but it was de-lish!there of course was some table bread in there as well with an olive tapanade type thing (sp?) that was exquisite.the aromas in the air, the tastes of ALL th food, the crispness of the wine. mmmmmmmm amazing!We shared Crem Bruleee for dessert and it was the perfect way to end the dining experience.Highly recommend this place, call for reservations if you can, ALWAYS busyAs a note, I am Italian and I judge Italian food the toughest...not a big fan of chains.....this place does it right!

I just was here for our work Christmas party (yes, in January) and they were absolutely wonderful. This was my first time here and everything was fabulous. They were very accommodating and pleasant. I'll have to check them out during regular hours :)

Came here in November and gave it 4 stars because the service was good, the food was prepared well the waitress was nice and so on. Came back here today and it was such a disappointment. The waitress we had was very rude, the music they had was the radio-nothing nice and soothing for the mood, the lights were way too dimmed and last but not least, the food. We got the fried calamari for our appetizer- first it took a long time to come out and it wasn't even done well. It didn't have any taste, and wasn't cooked correctly. Second, we tried out a burger... came out with the bun completely burnt to crisp- hard as a rock and completely black. We asked the waitress to give us a new bun and all we received was attitude. After the burger came back it was ok until started eating it. The burger was half medium and half rare when we asked for it done medium well(barely pink, warm center); Therefore, it was definitely not done correctly and done carelessly. I only go to nice restaurants but decided to come here because it was cheap and had good reviews the first time. Really dissatisfied & definitely not coming back.

Chicken Marsala was FABULOUS! Service was a little slow at lunch, but the salad, bread and entree was worth the wait.

This was the third time here. First two times were very good for both service and food. Today we came in and were asked if we had a reservation, which we did not and were seated right away. There were only 2 other tables with people. Looked over the wine menu for about 10 minutes before the waitress took our order for a bottle of wine. She returned and poured us 2 glasses. We had told her there would be 3, and our third person arrived. The waitress returned 5 minutes later offered to grab another glass but our companion just wanted water. By this time 3 more tables filled up. Water arrived, one glass with lipstick on it (yuck). We flagged down the waitress to order an appetizer, now being at the resteraunt more than 30minutes. After an hour we had to flag her down again to order our food and to get more water. My husband told her he was disappointed in how slow things were going and how he had to keep flagging her down. Her excuse was that we ordered appetizers. Hmm so it is our fault for your slowness, to get water and appetizers...and still no bread 45minutes. People who came in after us had bread and water on the table within 5 minutes of being seated.So my review, food was okay. A bit heavy on the lemon caper flavor. Service was SLOW SLOW SLOW. Unless they were hoping to procrastinate so I would order a second bottle of wine marked up 3x its retail price I don't know. Will I go back. Yes but I will sit at the bar where a server is trapped and has to wait on you.
