YOSTERIA,

252 Valley Street, Youngstown, OH 44505

"One of the best dinning experiences we have had in while. Great menu options, the Owner and Staff make you feel like family. The food, wine and dining experience is as close as you are going to have without traveling to Italy."

"Nice place for families, friends, or even if you're solo for the evening. The meatballs are a must try! We also ordered two different styles of pizza. The pizzas were half priced that night so be sure to check for their specials. It's a great time to try out the menu. Both had fresh toppings with a lot of flavor. The crust is more of a thick bread; I prefer a thinner, crunchier crust. I'm a bit biased. We met and talked with the owner. Great guy! Not that it is important, but the seats are metal so don't expect cushy seating. Good time had by all."

"First time here. Food was amazing. I ordered several things to try. And I was not disappointed. I will definitely come back again. Thank you Yosteria for an amazing dinner."

"First time at YOSTERIA. Very quaint setting. Trying to be authentic Italian. Unless you know the Italian language, you don't know what most of the menu items are. Our table had a few appetizers, which were OK, but nothing extraordinary. One of our group LOVED the Olive Siciliana. The pizzas were FANTASTIC. Toppings were very limited, but the dough is the best I've had. The staff was super friendly. We were asked many times if we needed anything. Not just by our waitress, but from any staff member walking by. We were a little put off when paying. They would not make separate checks - only one check per table. This makes for a very awkward figuring of the check when some of our group bought bottles of wine and others did not. Overall, a very pleasant experience. We'll be back for the pizza and atmosphere."

"First drop in here as they have only been open for inside dining for a short time. First impression, the atmosphere was different and a bit unpolished... However, once you get that It's a retro type setting back to a Grandmother's (the Owners' actually) blue collar, steel mill town home you get the concept of an invite at Grandma's house with Family and Friends for a great authentic Italian Dinner. Great appetizer dishes (in fact, that's what we used to make up our dinner). The Bread and Peppers are top notch in a Region where virtually every local restaurant has a pepper and oil option. Service was great and each server had a Friendly, welcoming approach and smiles on their faces. The Owner was checking in with each guest and it was just an overall great experience. Welcome to Grandma's House for a real Youngstown Italian dining experience. Didn't see any truly heavy pasta type dishes, but also would have chosen what was offered anyhow as it is a unique menu experience. Please to note, that the Grandson has added a bar inside and outside as shown in the photos!"
