If you're looking for the best venue to eat in the Canton area, look no further than Gervasi. They bring the total package of upscale setting, ambience, good service, great food and wide selection of in-house wines. If you're new to Gervasi, I highly recommend the wine flights were you can sample several different options before committing to a bottle. These won't be quite as refined as what you'll get from California or abroad, but very palletable for NE Ohio wine. During the summer months, the patio and grounds are an excellent place to relax, eat and drink. (Just be aware that the full menu is only available inside.) They grounds are massive and outdoor events such as weddings and boche ball are common. For the colder months, you'll want to eat inside and if lucky can be seated by one of the fireplaces. The interior has a beautiful outdoors theme, similar to a rustic lodge or cabin. In terms of food, I've tried a little of everything and haven't had a bad meal yet. This venue is perfect for couples, adult parties or business dinners. It's not ideal for small children, but you can certainly still bring them. If you're wanting to eat during a prime time, make sure to make your reservations well in advance. They are on OpenTable making it easy/ convenient to do so.
Awesome atmosphere! Beautiful inside , love the loft, but only eat an appetizer inside then move to the patio, food is much less expensive and the views are great. Reservations recommend. Food is good , wine flights let you find what you like
Decided to take some close area trips on vacation this year and decided to see what all the buzz about Gervasi was about. I was stunned! The grounds are beautiful. I can't say enough about this winery. I would expect to find this quality in Napa Valley...not at my backdoor in Ohio. Can not wait to take some of our friends for a visit.
This place is beautiful inside and out. Their food and wine is excellent. The decor is magnificent and especially so at Christmas time. Staff is very accommodating. Be sure to make reservations far in advance during the holidays. It is a special dining experience you won't forget.
We like to try local wineries. We had heard great things about Gervasi, so my husband and I decided to go one afternoon. The grounds and buildings are absolutely stunning! Since we were there in March, I can only imagine what it will be like in the summer. The wines were WONDERFUL! My husband and I each found a favorite or two. The wait staff was very attentive, informative and graciously answered any questions we had. We decided to try an appetizer at The Crush House as well, and it was also very delicious. Our server gave us the history of the property and the vision of the owners. She did recommend that if you have a special occasion for a weekend, make reservations at the Bistro a month or so in advance. We will certainly return to Gervasi and have dinner, as well as enjoy the entertainment on the Piazza. Highly recommend!
Made reservations for four. We did a tasting at our table before dinner. We took our time & enjoyed ourselves. The wines are quite good. Short ribs-dinner & mussel/calamari appetizer were excellent!! We had a wonderful time :)
Wow...talk about a knock out experience Gervasi is off the charts ! From the moment you turn into the winery from 55th street to the moment you leave the experience is awesome. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous and the food is tremendous. It is so hard to believe that a winery of this caliber sits in Canton Ohio, put it on your list to visit and you won't regret your decision!
We are so lucky in Northeast Ohio to have this wonderful facility that not only offers fine cuisine and wines, but is beautifully landscaped grounds and vineyard. For your overnight stay, there are amazing well appointed villas!
The Crush House is separate from the bistro/formal dining area & was new in early 2014. Came on a Wednesday -- a pleasant surprise was a small band & I liked that they didn't sing/play NON-STOP so there were quiet moments to still converse.Ordered 2 appetizers: hummus & fig crostadas with a honey glaze. Both were PHENOMENAL & made on property. Hummus did not taste like anything store bought. The ice wine was worth buying but I had a Riesling that tasted like the $6 bottles of Barefoot. There was no sweet red & the Moscato that I wanted to try was not yet in season, so the wine really is a let down for me.Had 2 entrees: the special (shrimp w/ polenta cake & asparagus) was delicious & typical menu (Greek chicken mini-pasta bowl) was a bit salty for me. The portions aren't the largest so I think it's a bit overpriced given the quantity. There are 6 defferent flavors of gelato for dessert (& other desserts). This is not made on-site. Some flavors were typical (i.e. vanilla) while some were more unique. We tried the White Zinfandel Peach. It was pretty good, but I'm a bit spoilt having eaten it in Italy.The decor was very nice but I could definitely see this place filling up on a weekend evening. We made a reservation & I would definitely return. Service was dandy & ours helped recommend some meals. In my opinion, this is MUCH BETTER than Gervasi's bistro.
Excellent atmosphere excellent wine feels like your in italy. Great place to go the grounds are gorgeous
