Bricco West, Akron OH

We used to love coming here a few years ago. Now the food is ok at best but expensive. However the drinks were pretty good.

Food was phenomenal especially the brussel sprouts. Staff was really friendly and quick to serve.

Excellent zucchini and arancini appetizers and the wedge and Panzanella salads were delicious. Our waitress was terrific and very friendly.

Nice place to eat, would go again.

* Brussels sprouts were awesome
* Buffalo chicken wontons were meh
* Five cheese flatbread was pretty good
* Cesar salad was decent
* West Jam burger was great
* Tater tots were great (not the truffle ones just regular I think)
* Chicken parm was good, although the pasta wasn't great
* House red wine was pretty good

All that for 3 people was about 100 bucks not including tip.

So apparently this place is known for blatant racism, I didn't know if it was truly racist until I over heard a conversation with a white female staff member & a white female patron. The patron asked the bartender does she carry Hennessey or ciroc, the bartender answered with no we don't carry those because we're trying to keep out the black people. I will never spend another dollar in this klan-like environment.

Best steak I have had in a long time, husband loved his scallops, shrimp and risotto. Strong cocktails
