Bricco Akron

Prices were moderate for the area and for the type of establishment Bricco is. Food was very tasty and was presented very well. Everything came out at the right temperature too, so that was a plus. Huge drink selection as well. While we visited on a busy night, service was slower than expected. No complaints about the actual staff abilities, but everything was just slower than I anticipated. Seems to be limited options on parking too unless the $5 valet is used (attendants were courteous and professional the whole time).

Amazing food and amazing service. Everyone was super nice, and gave us recommendations. The pizzas were some of the best we had. Lots of flavor, especially on the chorizo one. For the amount of the food, the price is really fair honestly. We're a bunch or college students so price was a concern, but we ended up spending around $10 each so it wasn't bad at all. Would definitely recommend checking out Bricco if you're in town, I know I'll be back.

Food: Not authentic Italian food. Flavor profiles are way off. Had the calamari that was mixed with sausage and peppers. Real Italian food is not a gumble of ingredients nor does it even have to be very complex. All it requires is simple, fresh ingredients. I also had the fettuccine Alfredo which had way too much pepper, and tasted manufactured. There is much better Italian restaurants in and near Akron, not sure why this place is rated so high. Atmosphere: Actually not a bad vibe from this place, more of a fun hot spot for parties to meet. Was kinda empty when I arrived but got busier. Service: Felt really rushed and like waitress was going through the motions and did not want to be there. Overall I would not recommend this restaurant.

So I "should" have taken a pic of this tasty gem before tucking into this decadent Chocolate Raspberry Mousse Torte! It's so balanced with sweetness and a hint of tartness from the raspberry coulis, the raspberry and chocolate mousse layers are light and airy. The layer of chocolate over the dark chocolate cake on the bottom is just divine! At a little over $6 for 4 layers of yummy goodness, it's as deal that tickles the taste buds!!
