We showed up the first time a little before closing and were unable to be served. We went back the next day out of curiosity, and it was definitely worth the return. The food was great, the service was great, and all at a fair price. A little taste of Italy right here in North Canton.

This has been my favorite restaurant since I was a kid. I live out of town now but try to stop in every time I'm in town! My kids love it too and they are picky eaters so extra bonus points for that! My favorite is their rigatoni and meat sauce. They also just put a small splash of sauce on and serve it with a side of sauce so you can always have the right amount you like!! My only complaint is they are not open 7 days a week ;)

The food was great. Even the salad dressing stood out. My lasagna was packed with mozzarella and ricotta cheese. The music Sinatra and similar, set the mood. The guy who waited on us was very friendly.

Went in to order takeout. The restaurant inside is so cute and clean with checkered tablecloths. Adorable. I ordered an antipasta salad, meatballs and cheesy garlic bread. It was absolutely outstanding. Salad had fresh lettuce with the perfect amount of veggies and meat. So so good. Meatballs and sauce were wonderdul and the bread....YUM YUM! Can't wait to go back!

Great simple pastas and sauce. Love the garlic bread. Eggplant parmesan on Thursdays. Layered eggplant and breadcrumbs. Different but I like it. They are sometimes short staffed but they are always friendly and are working hard. Tonight they were swamped but they continued to plug away doing the best they could. It took a while but the food was great. Please be patient if you see they are working hard but overwhelmed.

The overall experience was average, but the main course knocked it up a notch for me. We sat for what felt quite a while before our order was taken. It took so long to get our salads that we started to wonder if they were going to come out before the main course. A check-in or status update would have been helpful. While the salad was okay, the dressing was quite watery. This was true for the Italian and ranch dressing. The bread was nothing exciting.. It was buttered, but the butter didn't cover the entire piece. The entrees took awhile to come out. I've they did, I was pleasantly surprised. My stuffed shells and meatballs were excellent. It really made it worth the wait, although I still would have appreciated more check-ins from the wait staff The aglio e olio, with chicken, looked good too. I had a bite, and it was good. There was plenty of butter left over afterward for the bread that was lacking It was overall good. I wouldn't recommend it if you're in a hurry or do not like to visit for a while. Also, don't go as hungry as I was, else your going to suffer a while.

First time here with the wife after seeing the tik Tok video of the guy saying how great it was. So upon arrival the place looked small on the outside but when we got inside it was a pretty good size. It was seat yourself so we took a seat and the waitress was prompt. The waitress brought out drinks and some bread, down solide is that's the only bread ya get. When you go to others you usually get bread if offered more than once. I ordered the lasagna with meatballs and salad and my wife got stuff shells with meatballs. . The biggest plus side was they give you extra sauce right from the start. The downside was the temperature, the food wasn't hot or cold it was very luke warm. It was tasty and just needed to be hotter in temp. Being it's a little of a drive for us we wouldn't go out of our way to comeback but if in the area would give it another shot.
