The F. A. T. S. Backroom is a quaint and quiet place hidden behind (really on the side of the Todaros Party Center)
We have eaten here several times. The owner is friendly and can pick a bottle of wine out from his excess supply of off menu bottles.
The service was a little lagging at the beginning. We sat for 15 minutes before being helped by the server. From there the experience was very good. Except for the young man who was walking by as I was privately stating that bread was super hard. He offered us new bread saying he knew it was not fresh.
The food is SOOOO good and plentiful. I had a the fettuccine alglio a olio with chicken. The chicken was butterflied and pan seared. Unfortunately, it was super tough. Half of it was edible but several times I could barely chew it and several others that I couldn’t even cut through with my knife. It was on my side plate, but I didn’t mention it to the staff.
My husband got the Shrimp and pappardelle in spicy vodka sauce. The sauce was more of a red sauce and not very spicy. We ordered it without the pepper flakes. The shrimp were very well done.
The salads were great with fresh homemade Italian and vinegarette dressings.
Our second batch of bread was so much better! The first batch was so hard it felt like croutons.

The Service was impeccable, the atmosphere was also en pointe.
And the cocktails were AMAZING!
Karen is the cocktail Queen and our server Sherri was great!
They alone are worth another trip there soon!

Last night Frank Todaro served an awesome meal to twenty hungry men. The service was spot on. The atmosphere is very nice and above most restaurants. The steak he serve was one of the best I have had and the pasta was delicious. I would highly recommend Fats for a special night out.
Thanks Frank!

Good food, fair service, antiquated atmosphere.
The food was good but priced as if the restaurant was among the best in the area, which it is not. Servers were polite but inattentive, lacking continuity as they poorly executed an unsuccessful attempt at tag teaming. The atmosphere was old and stuffy.

First visit for our group. Looks on the outside are deceiving. The dinning room was beautiful. The staff was excellent. Mrs. T.’s meatballs are everything they say they are. We will definitely go back.

This place is definitely old school and it’s a place where the who’s who of Akron hangs out at. It’s always a fun night at Fats!! The service is so great and they always make sure you have everything you need. The pork chop is to die for. It’s so succulent and cooked to perfection. I can’t say enough about this place. Frank the owner makes you feel like you’re a star. Keenan and Sherrie work the floor like pros. They are not servers. They are ambassadors. I’m so glad this place is around. I get happy just walking in. Btw, great liquor pour.
