What a great find. Located near the Akron Canton airport, it was very convenient after flying in. The bread was so airy and soft. For the main, I chose the porkchop since it was one of the signature dishes. It was perfectly charred and topped with a mound of blue cheese. For a blue cheese lover, it was devine. The Yukon gold mash was a beautiful creamy accompaniment. The green beans were simply cooked and added a nice fresh crunch to the dish. The patio had a nice ambiance with the nearby woods. Definitely would be a great date night destination for those who live in the area. I'd highly recommend a visit. read more

The Twisted Olive - Italian Near Me - North Canton, Ohio

Made a reservation but still sat us in the basement by the bar. Which is fine. It's nice enough down there but strange for a reservation. The calamari and service was very good. The drinks were good. My walleye was good. Not outstanding, but good. Would try the lasagna next as that looked very good. But, just a guess. The Gervasi group is always worth the visit. No complaints and an enjoyable ambiance. read more

Was able to get a reservation at 815PM on a Friday night. I've been here before but sat down stairs in the bar area where it was first come. This time I was seated on the main level. Obviously the food is pretty amazing and the décor is outstanding. It seems just a bit over priced for what you get. I understand Gervasi being priced the way it is, you get to roam the grounds in the spring and warmer months and have the whole experience, where here at the Twisted Olive its just the restaurant. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy this place - and I'll obvious be back and recommend it to my friends. It's just a bit pricey for what you get in my opinion. read more

My boyfriend and I went here for dinner on a Saturday night. We made a reservation and were seated a few minutes later. The only thing I felt odd was that instead of handing out buzzers, we were asked to give them my cell phone number and I would receive a txt when our table was ready. Not sure how efficient this process is, since I felt like I had to stare at my phone the entire time we were waiting. We were seated in a booth towards the back of the restaurant and to be honest, the light hanging above us was so bright and hanging so low, it was distracting and uncomfortable. But the place was so busy, we just dealt with it. We started our order out with fried calamari. It was just OK and the portion was rather small. I ordered the "Twisted" spicy pie and while the portion was HUGE, literally large enough to feed four people, the flavor was a bit bland and the crust a bit soggy. My BF ordered the Salmon which he throughly enjoyed. Overall, I think this was place was just about average. The decor and ambiance was quite noisy. I'm really not sure what kind of look they're going for. It reminded me of a ski lodge with modern decor elements. For the price, I would probably go elsewhere. read more

I am visiting from California and my Mom wanted to take me someplace special for late lunch/early dinner. We arrived a few minutes prior to our reservation. Several other patrons entered after us. My Mom and I were escorted down two flights of stairs to the Bar at the lower level where the light was poor, there was barely a view, and we were the only patrons. There were numerous open tables in the main dining area, and in fact, the patrons that were seated after us were seated there. I asked the bar tender why we had been seated downstairs. She went to find out and returned advising us that it was change of shift and that she was available now to take care of us OR we could be seated upstairs. Well, if change of shift was the issue then why weren't the patrons that came in after us seated downstairs in the lower Bar, too?? Sorry, not buying that was the reason. Despite appetites dampened by the experience, we opted to stay. We were escorted to the upstairs Bar at a window booth. The food and the server were excellent, however, not a place we would return. What a disappointment!! in what my Mom had hoped to be a special meal before sending me back to California. read more

Very awesome ambiance. Ate outside with a view of the pond and had nice hanging lights. Joseph was our server and he was amazing! The Cesar salad was pretty awesome however the pizza was the only part of my experience that made this a 4 star. One of my least favorite pizzas I've had around the area. read more

Great food, great service. Good for that "special occasion" or just a relaxed night out. Being part of the Gervasi family, the food and drink menus are top notch.! read more

The food was decent. I would come back to try it again. The calamari was very good. I had the chicken meatballs initially. I did not like them. They lacked flavor to me, and they were rather dense. I swapped that meal out for the four cheese ravioli appetizer and that was good. Could have used more marinara, but you can easily ask for more. It had good flavor. The staff was really nice and the restaurant was really clean. It's a very large space definitely fit for dinner parties! read more

Cool location/venue. Greeted by a welcoming staff that walked us thru their menu. I went with a salad direction that worked perfectly for me. Chicken was grilled perfectly along with fresh salad. A great lunch. read more

One of our favorite family spots! Great atmosphere and food ! They also have the best servers and bartenders!

Dinner out became a special occasion at the Twisted Olive! With the little wait we explored the property and enjoyed the fishing ponds. The service and ambiance were wonderful and the food was 5-Star delicious!! read more

Still loving this place. Good service and good food (again) after a brief issue during the pandemic. This is our go to restaurant for burgers, gluten free food and casual dinning. read more

The drive towards the restaurant from the main road was gorgeous. The atmosphere inside was even better. Only tried starters on this go round but will definitely come back for more. read more

I previously posted a 3 star review of this restaurant, however, after revisiting I am correcting it to be 5 stars. The food was honestly amazing. I went with my boyfriend during happy hour and we shared the calamari, it was amazing crispy and cooked perfectly. It was also served with a side of dipping sauce, rather than the normal marinara. I ordered the smaller portion of the apple and fig salad as well as a piece of salmon to go with it. The salmon was huge! Usually salmon is smaller when added on to a salad but this wasn't the case. My boyfriend got a burger and it was huge as well! Overall, the food was fantastic and I definitely will be going back! read more

Oh wow!! Definitely recommend coming here! Service was great!! But OMG the food.... So delicious! We had the pastry stuffed meatloaf and folded lasagna. We tried the risotto stuffed peppers, and really liked them. We asked the server what she recommended and asked about the meatloaf. She said it was good but we're saying it's was amazing!! Definitely get the meatloaf! read more

I heard positive things about the Twisted Olive so a group of us decided to check it out on a Saturday night. Both levels of the restaurant were packed and had a good vibe. We waited about 40 min to be seated but no biggie as there are two bar areas to help pass the time. Once seated, we shared a variety of items from the menu: calamari, fig salad, grow up grilled cheese sandwich, crab cake sliders, lobster pasta, fries and the buckeye pie. There were no leftovers. It's safe to say we were all satisfied with the food experience and we had great service! After smashing all that food, we walked around and peeked through different sections of the restaurant to check out the decor and ambiance. read more

This is one of the best spots in Canton. I know Canton is not that big but it would still be one of the best restaurants in a bigger city too. The food menu has plenty to choose from and each item has a unique twist to a traditional item. The wine and drinks menu has plenty of options to choose from too. The restaurant offers tons of seating so this is a great place for date night, casual dinning, group dinning or events. read more

Incredible patio, views, food and drinks. Happy Hour is only 2-6 M-F. Their martinis are incredible and their food is scrumptious. They have amazing crispy Brussels sprouts with bacon & Parmesan! You have to order those, the loaded chips (although I think they're better without BBQ and pulled pork) and their pizzas. My favorites are the BAT--Bacon, Arugula, Tomato, Provolone and Garlic Cream Sauce, as well as the Twisted & Sicilian (both are spicy). There's lots of private rooms to host a shower or party there. The bar opens at 12 on Saturdays, and you don't need reservations for that! Their gift shop has plenty of wine--all from Gervasi, so you know you're in good hands! read more

Thank You all at Twisted Olive, You were so Accommodating, and gracious , to my Group, The One Tank Trips...... I along with my group loved your food, and service. The Restaurant is soooooo beautiful . Many Many Thanks read more

Our family of 4 dined here tonight in the new Covid world. We were greeted at the door, asked our name for the reservation, then escorted to our table. Spacing was perfect. All staff and servers were wearing masks. Patrons obviously not. Food and service was on point as usual, and great to see many of the staff have returned. Checkout may be awkward for some, as the server presents the bill and asks what you would like to leave extra as they are avoiding the the bill transfer with the mini bill folders. I recommend you tip well if deserved. They have less seating and service is more attentive. They're really doing their their best to provide the safest service possible. Great night to be out!!! read more

Food, service, prices and atmosphere all great. Came here with our friends visiting from Connecticut and they really enjoyed their time.

We went on a Friday evening. It was fairly busy, but we got a table in just a couple of minutes. The server was excellent. Very attentive, friendly. Our dinner was very good. I ordered the crab cakes - a favorite, but I usually don't expect much in the Midwest... big surprise - it was excellent. My wife had the Grilled chicken salad. Again, very good. The ambience here is very nice, but not overdone. Service was excellent. As the name implies, things are a bit twisted. Normal American and Italian but with a nice and surprising twist. Definitely will do this again. read more

This divine, delicious, first class establishment is one of my favorite priorities when I travel back to my hometown of Canton, Ohio! Beautiful lake and forest views with immaculate landscaping. This is a must experience! The food is excellent and reasonably priced. There are so many mouthwatering choices it is difficult to make a decision. Nice size portions too!! Everything I have tried has been delicious. Plus wonderful wines and crafted drinks (so my friends say as I don't drink). One of the best GF menus I have ever seen with dessert optIons and GF bread served with your salad! The interior is cozy, relaxing, warm, inviting and great for a date or to reconnect with friends. Also wonderful place for a private party or business meeting. They even have a cute gift shop called The Olive Pit with some great, unique items and wine for sale. read more

Ok, our party of 4 traveled nearly 2 hours to get to the Twisted Olive, but it was the birthday of one of us and we wanted something special. We had reservations, and I would suggest anyone wanting to eat here during the virus pandemic not to go there without one! How as our meal? I had the Premium Strip Steak, even though it's typically my favorite beef cut, and I have to say: It was the best steak I have eaten in my 72 years. I usually douse my steak with Heinz 57, even at Ruth Chris's, but even though I asked for and got my 57, never used a drop of it! The steak was super tender, and was seasoned great! I ate all 14 ounces of it! The group also had the Salmon, Shrimp and Scallop dishes and they all were above average (especially the large scallops). The facility wine and beer were good. So how do I rate The Twisted Olive? The food gets a solid 5, especially my steak. The facility gets a 5. The service gets a solid 5. The bang for my buck gets a 5 (do not try this restaurant if you're not prepared to spend $75 or higher per couple). Will we go to The Twisted Olive again? Well, probably not real often because of the expense, but will again for another one of those steaks! read more

Facilities are very nice. Huge lodge, well decorated and bright. Didn't have reservations , so we had to sit in the bar in the basement. Service was good. Bought a bottle of wine. Wine was very good, but glasses were dirty. Ordered the meatball pasta and the BAT pizza. Both were very good, but the EVOO on the pizza made it pretty oily with the cheese. Service was ok, just a bit slow. Server was nice. Wine prices make this an expensive meal, $67 for pizza, pasta, bottle of wine and tip. Wine bottles are small and only have 2 1/2 glasses. I'll come back. read more

When we visit my folks, (80+yrs) we always take them and their friends to The Twisted Olive. The menu is fantastic, mom appreciates the gluten free menu. The restaurant feels very upscale, yet very welcoming and accommodating. The pork chops are amazing, the salmon was light, fresh, and flavorful. Even the greens beans were something else. Our waiter the past two visits was Nick, who could not be more professional. He remembered serving us two months ago, and was great dealing with my senior parents. Canton is very lucky to have the Gervasi group in town. We can't wait for our next visit. read more

High-er end but affordable. Good service and great drinks. Always have a good experience here, a go-to spot if you live in the area!

Had such a great time here and highly recommend. The food, the service, everything was just fantastic.

Went here for the first time with my friend last week for a "girls lunch" we had the brussel sprouts and meatballs as an appetizer and we each got a salad. A little pricey ($80 dollars with drinks and food) but the atmosphere is gorgeous, large open windows that show the pond outside, nice big ceilings and hardwood floors, just a classy, nice place. The brussels sprouts were nothing short of wonderful, and i wish i could remember his name but i can't, but our server was excellent, her and i are both on a ketogenic diet, and our waiter had been on it before, gave us suggestions for local markets and food ideas that he had used, very friendly and felt like a part of our conversation! We will definitely come back here, looking forward to maybe coming in the spring/summer and taking advantage of the lovely outdoor area! read more

Food is made fresh and does taste good, but I think it's overpriced. I'm not a big wine drinker so that's not appealing to me. Nice casual hang for lunch, but bring your wallet if you're planning appetizers, meal and drinks! read more

Slow service. Super slow. And forgetful. Never asked how the meal was. Never asked if we needed more drinks. Pizza was very large and delicious. Walleye and all food was fantastic. read more

Their calamari is to die for, great drinks and service. Beautiful wooded scenery. I personally prefer their appetizers and drinks but they have some really good salads as well. read more

Probably the best dining experience in Canton. Gervasi would be the other, and I believe they are owned by the same people.

Been coming to Twisted Olive for years and it never disappoints! Great cocktails good service. Yummy selections gluten free options !!
