Nonna Rosa Traditional Italian Kitchen, Akron - Bar # 181


The Retired Guys were out at our traditional time today, late afternoon, for a visit to the recently opened Nonna Rosa Traditional Italian Kitchen in Akron.  Upon entry we met Javier, one of the four owners of this resurected establishment and had a lengthy discussion with him about his restaurant, family, and heritage.  Javier is definitely someone you can enjoy speaking with as his infectious love of life shines through every one of his stories.  We learned that he is originally from Paraguay and wondered how he got involved in Italian food.  Turns out that behind this successful man is a woman of Sicilian heritage that he has wisely chosen to utilize the foods of her heritage.  

There were 10 craft beers on tap as well as a very well stocked refrigerator with an excellent choice of bottled beers to choose from if the draft selection didn't satisfy a particular taste.  We found out that all the pasta served is made in house so we chose to sample a dish of lasagna.  The first bite was enough to convince both of us that a return trip would be needed to really appreciate the food offerings available.  After fully consuming my share of the lasagna it was easy to declare it to be the up there with the best ever tasted and very likely the absolute best!  Clearly, we plan to return!
