Bites Nearby: Mama Guzzardi's Italian Restaurant
Mama Guzzardi's has been a local destination for authentic Italian cooking since 1986
North Canton Patch once again picks a great restaurant either in town or nearby that is worth checking out. Here's this week's choice:
Overview: Mama Guzzardi's is known for generous portions and offering substitutions whenever possible. The menu is strictly Italian. Mama Guzzardi was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, and turned her hobby of cooking for family into a restaurant venture nearly 25 years ago. You can dine in or carry out.
Decor: It has a casual and comfortable feel to it right down to the red-and-white checked table cloths. The waitresses are pleasant and greet you with a smile regardless of how busy they are. Guzzardi family pictures adorn all the walls of the little two-room restaurant.
