“I’ve ordered carry out here a few times after going for my first time a couple months ago. The staff is so friendly each time I’ve come in and my food is always ready on time. The Chicken Piccata they had on special was so good, and the Chicken Marsala off the menu board is delicious. The portions are good and the bread on the side is so tasty. Don’t forget to grab a slice of the delicious Tiramisu out of the cooler. 5/5“

“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.“

“This place is beautiful. We cannot wait to come back in the spring/summer and enjoy the deck. The grounds are gorgeous, the restaurant itself is elegant and warm. The food was great- we had the scallops entree, a strip steak and the lemon feta appetizer. All wonderful. But the star of the show was our waitress, Ashley. She was knowledgeable, attentive, friendly and made us feel like we belonged. We will be back for sure! We can’t wait to try more things.“

“First time eating here tonight and truly enjoyed it! The service was top notch! The food came quick and was absolutely amazing. Definitely recommend and we will be back!!“

“We live locally and have never tried here until last night! Amazing service, delicious spaghetti & meatballs, the owners learned our names and took the time to talk to us. We will be back!“

“We stopped in for dinner on Friday evening with my wife and family. I had the walleye with lemon butter sauce and potato wedges which was one of the best I've ever had. My wife had the vegetable pasta with chicken which was delicious and flavorful! Appetizers were the bruschetta and Italian peppers and I would highly recommend both. Our server was Chris and I can't compliment him enough. He was very knowledgeable about the menu, gave us great suggestions and answered all of our questions. He was prompt, courteous and professional and made our visit very enjoyable. We had a great evening out and look forward to coming back here soon!“

“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.“

“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 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!“

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

“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!“

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

“Highly recommended! This place is great!“

“We have enjoyed the Chicago style deep dish pizza for years from the Dover store, but they recently closed. We have the New Philadelphia store a try and really enjoyed their pizza too. They are very consistent across locations. We especially like the crust! This one is a few miles further, but easy to get to from US250.“

“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“

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

“Thank you for sponsoring northwest youth baseball and softball!! We appreciate it!“

“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.“
