Ezio's Italian Restaurant - Salem, Ohio

Good food, but absolutely TERRIBLE management and service! Do yourself a favor and just get takeout. As soon as I walked in I could tell something was off about the service. No host, so I waited to be seated because I wanted a booth. Finally just walked to the end of the bar by the kitchen and service station. Sitting by the service station was my biggest mistake. Sat down and waited another 5 mins for the bartender to ask “what do you want to drink?” No pleasantries whatsoever, not even a hello from anyone in the restaurant. While waiting for a food menu two waitresses wouldn’t stop complaining about school, finance, and jobs. Meanwhile I heard the table behind me complain to a server that nobody had helped them in 10 mins since being seated. Finally, after 10 mins, I had to ask the bartender for a food menu. Another 5-10 mins for her to take my order. 20 mins total to order food. Food came out very quickly in only 10 minutes. I got the gnocchi bolognese and a side of Italian green beans. Both pretty good, except for the “garlic” bread that was warmed sliced bread with a drizzle of oil and garlic salt. I asked for fresh parm and the response was “uh this is fresh, we fill it everyday” pointing to the parm shaker… what “Italian” place doesn’t have freshly shredded parm? This attitude from waitstaff and management just got worse and worse… non-stop complaining
about tips, wanting to go home, and general drama I didn’t want to hear. It finally dawns on me that the waitstaff is miserable because of a TERRIBLE manager who was combative with an employee about taking a break… RIGHT next to me! I paid my bill and the bartender disappeared because I was last at the bar at 7:30. Walked out of the restaurant without anyone say goodbye or have a good night.

Great local restaurant. Staff are lovely and service great. Complimentary salads and garlic bread. They make all their own sauces, dressings, seasonings from scratch! Amazing cocktails (checkout seasonal specials!). Nicely decorated and ambience. Good selection of tasty meals and generous portions.

What an incredible first experience at this little gem. We were there during the lunch hour and despite it appearing slow the service and food were right on point.

We had our Uncle’s 96th birthday dinner here and it was fabulous! The staff couldn’t have been more accommodating, especially our waiter Chase who was fantastic!! The food was also delicious. Many thanks to all for making it such a special event!

I recently dined at a Ezio's Italian restaurant with a friend, hoping to enjoy a delightful meal. My initial choice was the lobster risotto, and I was confident it would be made with real lobster. However, upon my friend's suggestion, I decided to confirm the ingredient. To my dismay, I discovered that the restaurant used imitation lobster. Given the establishment’s upscale reputation, this was quite surprising and disappointing.

In light of this, I opted for the baked cod instead. Unfortunately, my meal was served as fried cod, which was not what I had ordered. This further compounded my dissatisfaction with the dining experience.

Overall, my visit to Ezio's did not live up to expectations, and I regrettably cannot recommend it. I left feeling frustrated, wishing I had chosen a different location for my meal.

We enjoyed our dinner on a busy night at Ezio’s. I couldn’t resist trying their yummy lasagna & w/o question had to order some “Spumoni” after such a delicious meal. A wonderful Italian restaurant that has been in Salem for years. It’s right downtown, so you may have a bit of a walk to get there on a busy night but Salem is a quaint town that you’ll enjoy your stroll while getting there.

I've been a bussiness in Salem for years. I finally tried this place. I'm so mad at myself I didn't try here sooner. I'll be back. Xoxoxo
