That Little Italian Kitchen

That Little Italian Kitchen was founded in April 2008 by Mike and Therese Maisano Schneider. The Tortora/Maisano family was traditional Italian and handed down many family recipes that Therese has followed over the years. Some of her family favorites include the Stromboli, her famous Lasagna, Italian Chicken, Eggplant Parmesan, and homemade Gnocchi.

Therese and Mike each brought family favorite cookie recipes and pledged to use only the finest ingredients to preserve grandma’s home cooked flavors.

In 2009 we decided to add GELATO (Italian Ice Cream) after fond memories from a family vacation in Italy. We did not want to sacrifice quality, so we import the key ingredients.

In 2010 our business had grown so fast that we had to move to dramatically expand our kitchen area. Our business continues to grow with venues at the HOF Balloon Fest, NFL Network, Canton Charge, Cleveland Cavaliers, major corporate events, weddings, and graduations. We cater your life’s celebrations!

In 2017 we are managing the beautiful Metropolitan Centre in the Canton Arts District which has a 325 person ballroom and a rooftop patio. We continue to cater at the beautiful Canton Preservation Society for events serving up to 75 guests. We cater at The Onesto, Brookside Farms and Lake Cable Clubhouse to name a few. Therese has extensive experience in various restaurants and received valuable, top tier, catering experience at Brookside Country Club. This has prepared her to help you organize a memorable catered event whether an intimate party or a grand event!

We hope you enjoy what we feel is the finest Italian food in the area. We are proud to be the 2016 and 2017 Repository Best of the Best winner in multiple categories. We think you will enjoy our friendly, casual environment of old fashioned service!

Thank you for your continued support!
