I remember coming here as a kid. So, after many years of just ordering take out from Parassons on occasion, we decided to dine in a couple of weeks ago.First of all, we noticed immediately the profoundly nice update they did to the interior, still keeping with the nostalgia and general layout, which was awesome…because it was such a comforting sight…memories of coming there as a kid, but yet with a clean and bright updated feel. I ordered a pizza and baked penne with meatballs, and Tiramisu for dessert. Everything that we ordered literally far exceeded our expectations, especially the Tiramisu, which we ordered extra to take home.We enjoyed it so much we were back the next week. I urge you to go and see for yourself , and simultaneously support a local business that has remained an anchor here in Akron. With the nostalgia of years ago still intact, an upgraded atmoshere, and terrific italian food at decent prices. Parrasons deserves our business.

A classic Italian restaurant it has a very small menu with very reasonable prices. The portions are very large for the price. The tomato sauce here is really nice it’s very well balanced between sweet and acidity. The meat sauce here, though I think, is the standout of the sauces the meats in it help give a richer and more rounded flavor. The amount of cheese baked ontop though is a lot, but that is not a bad thing. The garlic bread is very good it is absolutely packed with garlic flavor. The antipasto salad is actually quite interesting with their house made creamy Italian dressing. The creamy Italian feels like something you would get on an Italian Sub, so it pairs very well here. If you do not want the creamy Italian, you can opt for the sweet Italian. The dining roombhere is actually very spacious and nice-looking. Don’t be fooled by the exterior of this building. Inside is a very nice-looking restaurant. There is also a large parking lot out front with plenty of parking spaces.

Everything from A-Z was fantastic. The bread, salad, entree and cannoli were all great. The bread likely being probably the best thing so don’t fill up! I got the meat sauce lasagna and it was fantastic. Our waitress was wonderful, the interior and especially the music was so nice. Highly recommend!

I haven’t been to this location in years. Finally decided to go and check it out since they remodeled the place. The atmosphere is definitely better than I remember. New lighting and better bathrooms. I ordered the chicken Parm sandwich and it was delicious. We had very good garlic bread before our food came. Food arrived about 15 minutes after ordering. We were a party of 5. Small menu like years back but wasn’t disappointed with the selection. If you haven’t been there since they remodeled I would suggest to visit. The only thing that was negative was that there is no kids menu. They do offer sides and smaller dishes for the kiddos though.

Loved the atmosphere and the remodel they did.
I had the baked lasagna and it was delicious. I haven’t been to Parrasons in 20 yrs because the quality of food and the Barberton location really went down hill. The food we had at the Waterloo rd location was like it was in the 1980’s our meal was excellent. We will definitely go back. The only thing they need to change is their limited choices of salad dressings. Definitely need to offer sweet and sour, French and ranch.
The price was reasonable as well.

Huge shoutout to our server, Dawn! She was absolutely amazing — not only was the service top-notch and the food incredible, but the way she loved on Harrison truly made our day. It’s the little things like that that make all the difference. Thank you, Dawn, for making our family’s dinner so special!

This had formerly been a staple in our family. Hadn’t been to the Waterloo location in a while, but family members came in from out of town and wanted to see how it was. I’m so glad we went. The original garlic bread is back!! Thank you, Tony!! This is what made it so wonderful before. We had lasagna, spaghetti and penne-all baked. It was absolutely delicious with large portions. Everyone had to take leftovers home and were happy about it. I will definitely be putting this back in the rotation!!!

A nice consistent, dependable place to get Italian food. A very nice building that is roomy and well decorated. Typically great service. You just kind of can’t go wrong here.
