Zappitelli's Pizza, Pasta Parm - Mentor

We dined in. We got the angel hair pasta and meatballs dinner. It was delicious and we took the rest in a to go box. We ordered a giant cream puff to go which we will be having for breakfast.

Service and food are always good. No small meals for one and we don't like leftovers. We don't always like splitting a meal.

This is a great place to come with an appetite, the portions are large and the food is very tasty. The atmosphere leaves a lot to be desired. It's probably not a great place for a date, perhaps more of a family comfort atmosphere. People are friendly and the food is great however!

Five years ago, everything in this restaurant was an Italian delight. Everything. They gave you enough food to eat for the week (still do, but you don't want to eat it). Now? I am not sure what Zappitelli did to change the recipe, but they need to change it back! First, they had sewer flies (gnat like critters) flying around, getting into food and everything. The health department might need to be alerted. His dinner. Chicken Parmesan. The angel hair noodles were stuck together. They left the unedible middle piece in the chicken that he had to remove; he couldn't cut through that. He didn't want a salad, so they offered him meatballs instead. They tasted like rolled up hamburgers the ones I buy in a bag have more flavor. My dinner. Lasagna with meatballs. First off, someone must've sneezed because there were no meatballs, but if they tasted like his, it would just be hamburger. It was nothing but sauce, melted cheddar cheese, extra (we're talking double layer) noodles, a thin (almost like it was just sprinkled) layer of ricotta, and an extra thin layer of meat (but still not a meatball in sight). It came in a boat where the two ends were filled with sauce and melted cheddar cheese over the top, but not much of anything within the layers of noodles. The coffee tasted like it was leftover from the morning and there was no making it better. The garlic bread with cheese was to die for. The ONLY thing in that restaurant worth eating Five stars all day. That is not only depressing but surprising because they were a FIVE star place, but now... 1/2 one, but only because of the garlic bread. Never again.

Had a great pizza only dinner. Pizza was excellent and the wait staff here is always on top of it.
