“That Little Italian Kitchen is my family's go-to restaurant for Italian food—not only because the food is extraordinary (it is the very best in the Canton area), but because we always feel so valued and appreciated. Therese Maisano Schneider is simply the best. She and her husband Mike bring warmth, heart, and incredible flavor to every meal, and they treat all guests like family. As a wedding DJ, That Little Italian Kitchen is also my first choice for event catering. Some vendors make every event feel more welcoming, and That Little Italian Kitchen does exactly that. I’ve not only recommended them to countless couples—I’ve chosen them for my own most meaningful family events, and they’ve been exceptional every time. Three decades in the wedding industry will teach you which professionals truly elevate a day. The best caterers do it quietly—through thoughtful food, steady communication, and calm adaptability when plans shift. When they’re on point, the entire celebration feels smoother, more intentional, and deeply personal. That Little Italian Kitchen does all of this and more without fail. Whether you are looking for the perfect restaurant for date night, delicious take-out for your family's weeknight dinner, or exceptional catering for your most important day, That Little Italian Kitchen is always your best choice.“

“We went to celebrate my wife's birthday. The food and service were awesome as always. Collin A paced the evening perfectly. My only beef is that a restaurant of this quality and stature charges a 2.5% processing fee for credit card use.“

“Don't sleep on Danny Boys. Their pizza is amazing. The crust has a good chew, sauce is flavorful and a perfect amount of toppings. Their meatballs are tender and not spongy. The honeybee pizza is worth the trip alone. I always get carry out and everything is hot and fresh.“

“I've been back in Akron for over a year and finally found some Italian food with seasoning. I just finished a lovely Calzone that was excellent. I could see all the extra items that I added and the food was fresh. When I ask for extras, I want to see and taste them. Thank you to San Marino for making that happen. It was delicious.“

“Great eating! Enjoyed the salad and breadsticks of course! Had steak and shrimp over some noodles. Just get the chicken parm. It’s a lot better. Olive Garden isn’t a great place for steak. My kids had shrimp Alfredo. That was very good. Lasagna fritta for appetizer was good as well. Server was very nice and attentive. Leah was her name.“

“Palombos is my favorite go-to restaurant. The service is always excellent and the food is always of the highest quality. The salad is always fresh and the white French dressing is to die for…especially with a sprinkle of blue cheese. My favorites are the walleye and scrod. If you haven’t been there, don’t miss this local gem.“

“Great selection, something for everyone. A fun twist on Italian food.“

“Highly recommended! This place is great!“

“The first time me, and my family have been to Danny Boys was this past Sunday. We loved the atmosphere, and the friendly folks there. The menu is 🔥! We had the Honey Bee Pizza, and our daughter had a children's cheese pizza. Let me just say, The Honey Bee never had a chance once we dug in. We ate the whole thing! I highly recommend it! The next time we go, we're going to give the Original Clevelander a go! I would also like to give a shout out to Cicily! She was so kind, and exceptional at her job! She helped make our first visit a fantastic one. We look forward to next time, and If you haven't ever been. Give Danny Boys a try. You won't be disappointed!“

“For a chain this Fazoli's has improved since our last visit. It's cleaner, the staff is more efficient and friendly, and the portions are bigger.“

“100 out of 10! tl:dr. Beth is amazing and the food is great. Made reservations online and arrived early (15 mins and every vet will agree that's on time) and got seated early. The reservation process was insanely easy! Now enter Beth, our server. I'm not sure what magic she used, but she would appear at the table precisely when we needed her. She boxed our food for us and gave us all the time in the world. If the reservation, seating, and amazing server has kept you reading, let's talk food! We started with the calamari and bruschetta. I'm not a fan of eating grilled peppers and onions, but the flavor they added to the calamari was amazing! With the bruschetta it seems they use a half a loaf of the perfect crispy sof bread then load with seasoning, cheese, and chunks of tomato! Could've stopped there but we needed to taste more! I know the bar is already high but it was raised with the house salad with in-house made Italian dressing and the lobster bisque. The fresh crisp lettuce and "the best Italian dressing I've had". The lobster bisque tasted as the perfect combination of lobster and butter, with garlic and bread (how I tasted bread in a bisque is beyond me, but so it seems is the standard at Sylvester') *Suspenseful Music Play* Enter the entrees... Shrimp Scampi is first to bat. Let's begin with they are labeled MP for a reason. Never have I seen a shrimp so big! Then you see a whole tray of these colossal beasts! Flavor wise WOW! Both rich but also light. Totally worth it Enter second entree... Veal parmeasan! I will 100% order this and look for restaurants that serve it. The best Veal Parm I have had ever. Multiple states and countries worth of travel, this is the best. We wrapped up with desert... This will be the only sad part of the review. They sold out of tiramasu... This hurt because it is my favorite desert. It seems it was a lot of people's favorite. Unburdened by that, we chose the cheesecake with raspberry glaze. Talk about the perfect substitute. Both rich and delicate. Paired well with the blueberry lemondrop martini and cosmopolitan. Will be back!“

“The best place in NE Ohio!“

“today we ordered the Jan special. the guy working the oven called me over and said our philly steak stomboli did not look good and he did not feel right sending it home with me. He offered to make something in its place. I had to wait a few minutes but he also made me a fresh pizza! I just want to say thank you for sending quality food that looks good out! it's always delish! Thank you so much!“

“This was an amazing gem we stumbled on with the family. The service was great, food was amazing, and the Christmas decorations were mesmerizing!! Kudos to the owners and staff. This place is our new favorite place!“

“Amazing food definitely get the grilled chicken sandwich. It was fantastic.“

“The best pizza (especially the pepperoni delight) and the best salad garlic dressing! 10-10 would recommend!“

“Super staff had the porkchop dinner with garlic potatoes with the spinach it was flavorful and great portion had 2 meals out of it. lots of tvs for sports fans .“

“Best wings I’ve ever had in my 43 years of traveling the United States. Try the medium with a side of garlic sauce. 🤤😋“

“Thank you for accommodating our large group on short notice and taking amazing care of us! The food and service was amazing!!! Highly recommend!“

“We placed a delivery order and upon receiving the order realized one of the pizzas was missing toppings. I called and spoke to the store manager, Patrick, he apologized and said they would not only remake it BUT also redeliver! Mark was our driver and was very kind and also apologetic when he redelivered the new pizza! This is absolutely AMAZING customer service and they have DEFINITELY earned our continued business!“

“Yummy Hawaiian pizza style I’ll buy more soon“

“Searching for a dine in pizza place, my friends and I called ahead and asked if they had dine in seating. We were advised they did but were dismayed when we arrived. The 3 tiny tables appeared to be just for decoration. Not inviting at all, but we were hungry. We ordered garlic cheese bread, which was very tasty, and the crust was crispy. I had a personal size cheese pizza, and my friends shared a sausage pepperoni.
One of my friends thought the sauce had a bit of a sour taste to it. I liked my cheese pizza, which had plenty of cheese and a thick crispy crust. My friends ordered thin crust, but this crust was almost like phyllo dough. We noticed they had a sign that said it was voted Cleavand's favorite pizza. I would say they bought all the votes.“

“I was there today for a luncheon with my widows group. I ordered the 4 pc mixed chicken with jojo’s and salad bar. Everything was good and our server, Christine, was awesome. I ordered spaghetti with meat sauce to go for my home bound husband. I was disappointed that it did not come with bread nor salad. I didn’t have much time to check the prices but was a little shocked when my total bill was $31.70. Since you do not offer an item receipt, I have no way of checking the individual pricing. I will definitely check the menu more closely next time.“

“The BEST Italian restaurant experience in Years. Quality IS seriously like my Sicilian Grandma's homemade recipes and cant believe how Cheap the menu is.
Sweet attentive owners/staff.
Adorable red checker tablecloths in a warm cozy family or date restaurant- Discover this secret spot & share with everyone!!!!
Love, Love, Love“

“I've been ordering from them since I moved to the area in 2021. I chose their wings over anyone else's. They are quick, open late & deliver and that's the trifecta to being successful in the area. The staff can be a little blunt or harsh but, it comes w the territory.“
