Longhitano’s Gallery Pub & Grille

My girlfriend and I ate here this evening, this is the first time at this location, we had the fried pickles which were good she had the eggplant parmesan with noodles I had the mama spaghetti and meatballs the sauce was mild on both of them the service was very nice the food arrived quickly hopefully in the future they will improve on their sauce

A place where a waitress yells and curses at my 11 year old daughter in front of my 75 year old parents is not a place a family would want to frequent. I’m so sad that this experience ruined my niece’s graduation dinner. Will never return! Disgusted by our entire experience!

This restaurant is actually good, which surprised me because this location previously housed a string of lousy restaurants. I had a salad on spring greens with candied nuts, cranberries, chicken and more, with the house dressing and it was delicious. It came with warm pita slices that were better than the garlic bread.. I also tried the sausage stuffed Italian pepper appetizer, which would have been enough by itself. Tasty! I had to take half the food home. Next time, I’ll get a small salad and call the peppers an entrée. My husband raved about the chicken livers and he also had to take home half his antipasto salad because it was all too much food. The service was good, the restaurant and restrooms were clean, and the owner was very friendly. We will definitely be back.

Longhitanos Bar and Grille is located between Kent and Stow. I’ve driven by several times and finally decided to try it. Inside is clean and it was really cool to be asked where I wanted to sit. The booths all have private tvs and I was able to watch VH1 classic while I ate my food (that was really cool).
The menu is appropriate for the restaurant size and includes: typical bar fare apps, salads, sandwiches/​burgers, and Italian food (which is their specialty). They also have specials that sell out quickly, but the chef replaced some that sold out for other specials they could make. I ordered chicken cacciatore and my wife had the Italian sub.
The salad was good that came with my meal and I loved the ranch dressing. The chicken cacciatore though was disappointing, especially for a restaurant that takes pride in their Italian fare. Presentation was okay but the dish was swimming in a liquid tomato sauce, the chicken was fine, green pepper/​mushrooms were fine. Had the sauce been thicker my opinion would have been vastly different. The highlight was the garlic bread, so buttery and good! The Italian sub was a bit greasy but good and the chips were great with it. Overall, we had an okay experience but would not order what we had again.

I can’t believe this place has been given bad reviews. My wife and I ate dinner there recently and had a great experience. I would recommend you try it. The baked spaghetti and meatballs is amazing!

I think this place is great. It’s wonderful to see the owner there taking care of his place and being engaged with the customers. He always asks how the food is. I have been to this place twice and I was really happy with how fresh everything was. The food doesn’t taste like it comes out of a can. Recently, I had a amazing tomato soup and a turkey reuben, which was very tasty was not greasy. The first time I was there I had a nicely prepared fish dinner that was worth every penny. I hope they keep up the good work, and always have good service, which is something every place around here could improve on.

I have been patronizing Longhitano’s for lunch, dinner and/​or cocktails once or twice a week since they have opened. They started with a limited menu, but have since added several tasty Italian dishes. My favorites so far are the homemade Italian Wedding soup & homemade lasagna, and I believe that more are being added every week. They have a fun & family friendly atmosphere with lots of room including a separate private area for parties.
The owner, manager & staff are not only clean & well dressed, but super friendly too. Im definitely not complaining about this so called «cursed» building being occupied by another restaurant. Unlike the previous reviewer, I feel this new place is an asset to our city as opposed to yet another vacant building sitting around empty. In my experience (as a former server/​bartender) when a new establishment opens, certain errors are to be expected & sometimes it takes a minute to work out the details. That being said, keep in mind that every business is going to have the occasional customer who just cannot be pleased no matter what is done for them.
I will continue to eat, drink & be merry at Longhitanos & I hope all of the fine people in Kent will come out & join me. Welcome to Kent Longhitanos, You have my support & business :)

Not sure where all the recent positive reviews are from but after my first experience, I’m not buying it!
Longhitano’s in Kent resides in a cursed building (formerly known as Country Diner, Luna’s, Diner 59, and Blue Fig in the last several years) and, although I was hoping the recent addition would make it, their food quality leaves me with little hope for their longevity.
To be fair I’ve only been there once. That being said, this joint touts its Italian courses and the marinara sauce on my chicken parm was the most bland I believe I’ve ever had at a restaurant — think tomato sauce from a can. The breaded chicken itself was ok but hardly noteworthy. If I had to guess, I’d bet the majority of their menu offerings come to your plate directly off a truck. The side salad, as others have commented, was also fairly pathetic.
I am giving two stars since my meal wasn’t altogether horrible, just what I feel is pretty poor quality for a «restaurant» I don’t really ever care to go to again.

Tonight was my first time going to Longhitano’s. I drive past there every on my way to school and decided to stop in to take part of their Tuesday $.40 wing special.
Right off the bat, this is very much a bar and grill kind of place. Don’t expect any kind of fine dining here, just good pub (and of course Italian) food and lots of alcohol.
The prices were really good with burgers and sandwiches around $ 6 and pasta at $ 10. The service was acceptable. We did wait a while to get our menus but the waitress was very nice and kept up with drink refills and extra condiment request. The food was also quick to arrive. It took less than 5 minutes for our appetizer, amazing fried mac-​n-​cheese bites, to arrive.
As far as the quality of the food, it was pretty tasty. I assume they order in a large portion of their items, so keeping that in mind, I was quite pleased with my meal. I had (as I already mentioned) the wings, which were delicious, spicy, and very large! along with a basket of fries that were not as crispy as I would like, but still pretty good. My boyfriend had the meatball sub which he quickly devoured, and some fantastic thick-​cut homemade chips. All for under $ 20.
I’ll probably be visiting Longhitano’s again, especially since it is the closest Italian restaurant. I look forward to seeing their new larger menu which will be coming out soon, but I think I will forgo to fries and stay with chips next time.

The Longhitano’s Gallery Pub & Grille, formerly located near the State Road Plaza in Cuyahoga Falls, recently opened in Kent on the corner of Spaulding and W. Main (St. Rt. 59), in the old building of Firehouse Pub, Country Kitchen, and probably a dozen other failed restaurants. Based on my experience with an early dinner today, it will not be in business long.
According to an October 9 article in the Record Courier, «We’re starting off with a small menu just to get out of the gate,» Longhitano said, adding that current menu items also include burgers, salads and «great Italian food.» Indeed, a laminated single-​page menu was on each table, with maybe 20 menu items including appetizers, sandwiches, salads, soups, and entrees. There were no pictures of their food.
When I arrived at 3:30 pm, there was only one table occupied by two older gentlemen. The waitress who sort of greeted me told me to have a seat anywhere. When she approached my table, I had my back to her and she started talking to me before she ever arrived at my table. I had to ask her if she was talking to me. When she returned to my table to take my order, again, she started talking before she even got to my table. Her enthusiasm was underwhelming.
When she asked to take my order, she didn’t volunteer any information. I asked her to describe the lobster ravioli, and she held up her fingers to show the size of the ravioli and said it had lobster meat in it (well duh) and their alfredo sauce. I asked her if they made it themselves, and she said no. I asked her if it came with anything, and she said a side salad. I decided to try it, and I think it was the most expensive entrée at $ 15.
When the salad arrived, it was just unwashed (I think) romaine lettuce with one cucumber slice, one tomato wedge with a big yellow stem portion in it, and some cheddar cheese on top. The unremarkable dressing was on the side in a plastic condiment cup.
A gentleman brought the ravioli to my table. I’m guessing he may have been the owner, and he looked a little dirty and unkempt. I tried the first ravioli, and it was barely warm. I tried the second, and it also was barely warm, so I set the plate aside to wait for my waitress to return. I eventually gave up on that and asked a second waitress to get her. Before she asked me what was wrong, she said «cold»? That tells you something, doesn’t it? They microwaved the plate, and the first bite was hot, but that was it. I didn’t finish the meal.
The waitress charged me $ 8.99 for the appetizer version and did not charge me at all for the Pepsi.
I have no plans to return. The attitude of the waitress was apathy, and if the staff doesn’t care, why should I?
