Just as Luigi’s is the most famous Italian restaurant in Akron, the Diamond Grille holds that honor in the steakhouse category. Since 1935, meat-lovers have made pilgrimages here not for glitz or glamor, but authenticity, served straight up from an old-school tavern. And they come for the steaks, of course, char-broiled and presented – like the restaurant itself – without fanfare.
