This Akron, Ohio Italian Spot Serves Comfort Food And A Dining Experience To Remember
Some dinners do more than fill the table, they make the whole evening feel warmer, slower, and somehow a little more special. I have been to plenty of Italian restaurants in Ohio, but every now and then I find one that gets the full experience right, from the first basket of hot bread to the last forkful of pasta, and this Akron spot absolutely knows how to do that.

It has since expanded to five locations in its home state, all franchised except for the original shop, and it recently opened a franchised location in Costa Mesa, Calif. (not its first location in that state — it previously had a franchise on the campus of the University of California at Irvine).

Pastimes Cafe Adds Another Daytime Dining Destination to Lakewood
One segment of the hospitality scene appears to be growing quicker than others, and that’s the breakfast-and-lunch category. In the past five or so years, we’ve witnessed an explosion of places that start early and shutter early, a response to shifting demographics. For every happy hour barfly and late-night snacker, there appears to be two or more diners who prefer to start their day bright and early with a proper meal on the go.
