  Whoever wrote the lengthy review is a moron. What kind of person spends that much time slamming someone who is working so hard to build a business. Probably someone who is looser.
  
  I go to this restaurant, my family and friends go to this restaurant, we all love it. The restaurant has more than doubled in business since it opened and is there to stay.
  
  A great crowed is reflected and they love the place. So please all you looooooooosers who have done nothing in life but knock others stay away
  
  Bravo Longhitanos, Bravo

  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.

  I have eaten here since the place opened.  They have been nothing but kind and courteous.  My wife orders the Meatballs and spaghetti every time.  I have to admit it is awesome.  The meatballs are addicting and the sauce is awesome.  I have tried many things on the menu.  The sandwiches are on amazing bread and come with homemade chips that kick any french fry to the curb in shame.  I just had the Hajah steak today and my tongue was dancing with delight.
  
  I was once sitting at the bar when eating alone having an awesome Italian sub and the gentleman next to me told his wife.  "If I were on death row and ordered my last meal this would be it.  I have to admit the baked pasta rocks.  But as a cheese lover the sauce and meatballs hold their own without the cheese.
  
  Their choice of wines works so well with the food.  I like the Chianti with my pasta.  
  
  If you have not tried the spaghetti and meatballs you are missing and experience.  Frankly, I don't know why this place isn't busting at the seams with people.  You owe it to yourself

  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 entree 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?
