Wanted to do something different today and decided to head towards North Canton vice Cleveland or Columbus. So Twisted Olive it was! I must admit I was very surprised at how many tables were filled at ~1330! We ordered adult beverages while checking out the menu. Whiskey Sour for y wife, a Manhattan for me, and a Bloody Mary for Mom. Our waitress was polite and friendly. For our mains we ordered a combination of items. Mom a Brie and Strawberry salad with their French Onion Soup while my wife and I split their Pear and Fig salad & Mediterranean Flatbread and I the calamari. All of our dishes came out perfectly and delicious! I ordered their Christmas Ale. THE waiteress seemed a little confused regarding the size, noting it was 9 ounces. The bottle looked much larger. I read the label and it actually read 1 pint and 9 ounces! Regardless, it was delicious. We also ordered their specialty cheesecake to take back to Mansfield. There seemed to be a long delay for the takeaway. We paid our bill and made our way out. Atnthere little merchandise shop we looked for the Christmas Ale to take home. Alas, we were informed they didn't have it but we could order it on their website. No thank you. I don't know why they couldn't sell it. Oh well. read more

As packed as it was. I really expected to be wowed. There were aspects of the restaurant that were nice it was clean. The greeters were friendly. There were aspects that were good about the food like the soup was good. But when it came time for the Main dish it was inconsistently mediocre. Our drinks were refilled once. And the waiter was non responsive. The person who served our food was great. I am just shocked with the amount of staff. And I felt profiled based on how I was dressed. I know in my heart if I would have dressed nicer. I might have gotten my water filled twice. If you get worse service based on what you wear. I feel like it's time to go to another restaurant. read more

The lodge itself is stunning, and the views from the main dining room are absolutely beautiful. It seems that they were a bit understaffed during our visit. There were only two waitresses in the dining room and both stayed busy with a large party while we waited for food, water refills, and even the bill. Once our food was delivered we never saw our waitress again. The food was very good (apart from finding a long hair in my chicken sandwich). The salads were delicious and the Mac and cheese as well. read more

5/5 We came here to celebrate my birthday after several recommendations from friends. This place is fantastic and I would eat here weekly. I order steak and crab cakes and they were absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was such a cozy vibe I loved it so much. Service was fantastic as well, our waiter was very helpful for deciding what we wanted. Also I would return here just for the rolls they bring to the table because omg *chef kiss* can you tell I love it here? read more

My family and I are huge winery people, so of course we had to try Twisted Olive. We LOVE Gervasi, and we heard these wineries were associated, so we already knew this place would be great! There's a ton of seating! We were directly downstairs to eat and have drinks. My sister and I both got salmon salads. My sister also ordered a martini, and I ordered a "lucello" pinot grigio. Our server was great. read more

We went for a drive and ended up at this really nice restaurant. Having been there once when it was dark I did not appreciate the beauty that surrounds this establishment. The large windows enables one to bask in the natural surroundings. Upon entering we were asked if we had a reservation, we did not. The dark haired young lady at the reception desk made us feel less than welcome. She told us to take a seat in the atrium. We did and were seated by a very pleasant young lady with blond hair. Everyone, we encountered after the first young lady, was extremely pleasant. Our waiter's name was Jason. He was friendly and very professional. Our food was delicious! My wife and I enjoyed our meal. Simply put this a come back again type of place. It is owned by the Gervasi Group. We have enjoyed their other restaurants and will continue to to patronize their establishments read more

My friend and I went here last minute during the holidays and were able to sit in the bar area. Usually I don't like eating in the bar, but it was private and quiet enough to still carry on our conversation. The interior of the restaurant was beautiful and cozy! Happy hour specials were a great deal and the bartender was kind enough to let us know of the deals so we didn't miss out (we were seated 5 mins before it ended). To drink I ordered the red sangria. It was made with a dry cab, but the fruit juices balanced it perfectly. Not dry, and not too sweet. Plenty of flavor. Now for the food: hot, fresh, and delicious! My friend ordered the calamari which smelled wonderful and was perfectly light and crisp. She also enjoyed her French onion soup! I had the chicken saltimbocca - the prosciutto was criped beautifully while leaving the chicken moist on the inside. I was leary about leeks in the mashed potatoes, but the bartender assured me the taste wasn't overpowering and they didn't change the texture. She was right! To end, we had the molten chocolate cake which was quite decadent. Price points are a bit high, but the ambiance and quality of food supported it. Overall, it was a great meal and I'll be back! read more

This is an overdue review. I've been here multiple times but I thought today was special. The food is always banging, and I always enjoy my order (especially the pizza) but today I asked the waitress to put the Italian Beef sandwich over broccoli instead of bread and fries. She was so kind and made it happen so I could maintain my lifestyle choice instead of compromising. The flavors came out really well and I left super satisfied. Trust me, I'll have the pizza and pasta again, they are worth it, but today they met me where I was at, and it was delicious. This place is all about enjoying food!! No matter your style. read more

I'm in town visiting family, and we needed a place for a birthday dinner. After some intensive Googling and Yelping, I selected The Twisted Olive. My dad, whose birthday we were celebrating, loves wine so I thought this would be of interest. We made a reservation online a few weeks in advance, and I'm glad we did - they were incredibly busy for a Thursday evening! Our server was fantastic. She checked on us regularly and was helpful in navigating dietary restrictions, even bringing my food out separately before everyone else's to avoid cross-contamination. I had the lemon feta dip and could have made a meal of that. It was feta whipped with olive oil and lemon juice, topped with diced cucumbers and tomatoes and sprinkled with Kalamata olives. It was served with crispy pita chips on the side. The portion was substantial and I shared with both my husband and sister-in-law. For dinner, I had the bruschetta chicken. It was a quarter chicken topped with diced tomatoes and mozzarella cheese, drizzled in a balsamic glaze. It was cooked well and had a lot of flavor. It was served on top of green beans and mashed potatoes. Everything was delicious and when I couldn't possibly finish, I sent it home with my brother. The wine was very good. I had a glass of Lambrusco (sparkling white) and a rose. I didn't try anyone else's food, but everyone was happy with their meals and finished their dishes. My husband, in particular, enjoyed the short rib that the server recommended to him. Overall, it was an excellent experience. I wish I'd gotten our server's name because she was the right balance of attentive, funny, and patient. We'll return on future visits to Canton. read more

Twisted Olive never disappoints. The food is always amazing. The tortellini's with grilled chicken is always very flavorful and filling. The pork chop is also a great option. I would highly recommend any of the meatballs as appetizers. The service is always great and it's a perfect date night spot. read more

Came here on business for a dinner after work with some colleagues. It's a little upscale but not too much. They had table cloths and cloth napkins. We ordered the Brussel sprouts as an appetizer. The waitress brought some gluten free bread for me after I asked for a GF menu. It was similar to pizza crust and was rather enjoyable. I ordered the steak, garlic mashed potatoes and creamed spinach. The spinach was far too creamy. It seemed like mostly milk. The garlic potatoes were really good but my steak (ordered med rare) was way over cooked. It was medium at best. I was definitely disappointed in the steak. For a higher dollar place, it wasn't worth it to me. A colleague got the lasagna and it was huge and he liked it. So if you can eat lasagna and are really hungry, that's a good go to. Their martinis are on point. I got the cucumber mint one and it was incredibly refreshing. read more

The Twisted Olive - a plate of food on a table - Italian Near Me - North Canton, Ohio

If you're looking for a nice place with really good food, The Twisted Olive is a great spot to try. They have such a beautiful campus that you can walk if it's a warmer time of year, and they have ample parking that's nestled in a quaint wooded area. Their prices are relatively high, so be prepared to spend easily $70 per person if you order any drinks, appetizers, or desserts. I came with girlfriends for a Christmas gathering and we shared the blue cheese chips and they were really yummy. I had sangria to drink and it too was really good. My meal was INCREDIBLE. I ordered the filet with green beans and mashed potatoes and I still think about how good it was. Definitely a great place for celebrating special events, and they do have a private room you can reserve. read more

Love this place, especially the bar downstairs. A great place to relax alone or with friends. Any chance you can add a savory bar snack to your menu. I'd love to be able to chew on something olives, cheese, etc while enjoying some of your craft gin and deciding what to order for dinner. Let's forget the dinner rolls and go with more of a European/ Mediterranean option. read more

We really love coming here for a family dinner. The food is really good with a lot of variety. The service is excellent and ambience is quiet. Have you guys ever read more

Went for dinner tonight with friends. I'd been here once before and sat outside when it was warmer (which is gorgeous!), but the inside atmosphere is very nice as well. They brought complimentary bread to the table which was nice, but honestly underwhelming. The rolls themselves had a sweetness to them but were accompanied by an herbed butter which didn't quite go, in my opinion. I had the house salad (meh) and the cheesy potato soup (delicious!!). Hubby had the steak and said it was tough on the outside and undercooked in the middle but loved the mashed potatoes. We had tiramisu for dessert and it was super tasty but more like a cake than genuine tiramisu. All in all it was a good experience but the food was a bit overhyped for us. read more

The Twisted Olive - Tiramisu. Delicious but definitely not traditional - Italian Near Me - North Canton, Ohio

We had a phenomenal experience working with them for a private event reservation. We reserved the terrace room for a bridal shower and the experience was wonderful. The staff were professional, kind and attentive. The buffet style dinning and mimosa bar were regularly restocked by the staff and delicious. The mimosa bar even included a beautiful display of fresh fruit to add to the drinks! The tiramisu dessert cups were a great and worthwhile addition. Our point of contact over email for the weeks leading up to the event Kayla, was also very helpful in coordinating details i.e. extra tables, confirming the buffet selection, head count.) We we're also able to set up a beautiful balloon arch that fit in the room perfectly! I would highly recommend them for a private event. read more

Went there last night for our anniversary. It's a bit pricey, but the food and service was excellent. The only thing that bothered me a little, is when we got the bill, if you don't pay in cash totally, they add on a 2.5% processing fee for credit cards. read more

The food was great; however we sat at the bar and our original bar tender, was wonderful, left due to shift change. The new bartenders never introduced themselves and never asked if we needed anything. I had to finally request a new drink even though she walked past me 6 times. Finally, we were watching basketball and some random employee changes the channel without asking us if we would mind. Mind you we there were only 4 of us at the bar and we were all watching basketball. Management needs to train staff. read more

Scene: A wonderfully built structure with rustic and industrial décor. Masculine yet whimsical, boutique really. Edison lights, burnished metal fixtures, leather arm chairs, muted, and tonal decor brings guests into an atmosphere that is fun and yet reserved. Bar: the upstairs bar is warm, with a lake house house feel, and provides much needed libations. A person of habit, I ordered a dry vodka martini with a twist. Boring to some I'm sure, but the specialty cocktails on the list were enticing. Staff: The bar staff was a little overwhelmed filling orders when I arrived, so a short wait was no problem for me. Friendly and extremely proficient at making a mean vodka martini! Our server was wonderful and very attentive. Food: The French onion soup was amazing. One of the best I've ever eaten. Brussels sprouts were very sweet and smoky. For my main dish I ordered the lobster ravioli with scallops. Par at best. Honestly, I was very hopeful for this dish. It was way over salted. Although the scallops were perfectly cooked, the salt level was off the charts. Desserts were quite delicious. We had The cobbler and the tiramisu. Overall: despite an over salted dish, I still give this place 4 stars as I am sure the rest of the dishes are probably on point. read more

I've always heard wonderful things about The Twisted Olive. I was surprised to go there and find that it is located in a remote area just north of Canton. The property is big and beautiful. While they have free valet parking, we decided to just park our car since there was ample parking very close by. I'd definitely recommend making a reservation ahead of time. We had one and still had to wait a few minutes. The restaurant is lovely with high ceilings and wood work. I'd love to see it during the daytime and especially during the warmer months. I hear there's a pond outside and seating on a patio. Our waiter was phenomenal. I wish I remembered his name to mention it here. He was so friendly and efficient. He made food recommendations and because of his recommendations I ordered a Strawberry and Brie salad. It had cashews and raisins and was delicious! I also ordered a Blanco Pizza which had garlic, oil, cheese, spinach and ricotta. I added grilled chicken to it as well and it was the perfect addition. I took a substantial portion of my food home. I can't forget about the Meanie Bellini that I ordered as well. It was a slightly sweet and very tasty drink. I'm eager to go back to The Twisted Olive and try many other things on the menu! read more

i fell in love with this place last year when Danielle and i had our anniversary dinner here. family had been here for an 80th birthday a few years ago and raved about it so we were excited to go and my inner cheapskate loved that it was incredibly reasonably priced. seriously, they could get away with charging considerably more based on the the ambiance, service and food. this year i requested to go for my birthday and so we did. Danielle had salmon and I had the lasagna again (we'd had a late lunch so we skipped the appetizer). the bread that comes with your meals is the softest bread you'll ever have. the meals, as with last time, were delicious. service was great. the farmhouse ale was delicious as was, i'm told, Danielle's sangria. our server brought me a complimentary birthday gelato and Danielle decided to try the dessert special - a blueberry smores tart. i had my doubts (i don't like smores or blueberries) but it was quite nice. can't wait for the next visit. read more

Went there at the recommendation of a friend. Got the menu and became a little disappointed at the selection but we were ready to eat. Ordered the Club sandwich and a white sangria. I DO NOT EAT FRENCH FRIES! The sangria was very good. Then I got my Club sandwich. They make a great Club! And tasted a French fry, and ate every one of them. They could show everyone else how to make fries. My wife had the chicken sandwich and her opinion is the same as mine. We are going back for some of their other selections, the Mac and cheese made with smoked Gouda sounds and looks amazing. Was a good recommendation my friend. read more

Alissa B is the best server I have ever had. She is beyond excellent. Attentive, knowledgeable, goes above and beyond what anyone should expect. On a scale of 1-10, I give her 100+ rating.

The Twisted Olive has been a favorite for years but I hadn't visited since the start of Covid-19. I was very impressed with the precautions they are taking to keep patrons safe. No more waiting or queueing in the lobby for a table. Everyone must wait outside or in their car. Tables are nicely spaced out and dividers have been added between the booths. All of the staff members we saw were wearing masks and we observed good cleaning protocols when cleaning the tables. The food is still top notch. I recommend a starter of the brussel sprouts while you review the menu for dinner choices. The portions are generous and you'll likely get to have enough to take home with you. Also enjoy one of their 19 signature wines from their own winery. Kudos Twisted Olive for another excellent dining experience. read more

The food was average. The meatloaf in a puff pastry was sitting under a heat lamp. I asked the server if I could do half and half toppings on the pizza and she said you can do full and 1 item half, "because it will confuse our cooks and they can't handle it". What?! They can't handle 1/2 sausage, 1/2 mushroom? The dough was raw, undercooked and it was bad. The crispy brus. sprouts were the best item. You pay a lot for an underwhelming experience. read more

Beautiful ambiance with a lake and pretty landscaping outside. We started with the calamari and the loaded potato chips. Both were really good. I chose the seared shrimp salad as my entree and it was good. That creamy avacado dressing is out of this WORLD. A little thinner than guacamole, but a little thicker than mayo, it was creamy, flavorful and fantastic. I stole some of my nephew's french fries, and they were pretty tasty too. Fresh and perfectly seasoned. My mom had the meatloaf in the puff pastry and she liked it as well. Dad had a salad with a humongous piece of salmon that he really enjoyed. Sister-in-law had gnocchi, which was also pretty good. I was thoroughly pleased with everything on the menu. read more
