Papa Joe's Iacomini's

The Iacomini Family first opened their doors in 1932. The heart and soul have been "Papa Joe" Iacomini, who passed away in 1998. Those who have gazed into his steel blue eyes, or have watched him tour his restaurants, always searching for ways to improve, know why the Iacomini Family has always been considered the first family of fine and traditional dining in the Akron area.

Joe's legacy lives on with the fourth generation of restaurateurs through his daughter, Judy. She continues to try and live up to his standards of excellence with the help of her son Jeff, and her daughter Kim. This trio of new culinarians continues to bring you "The Best of Iacomini's!"
