    Appetizer plate loaded with a selection
    Schon C.

    First time dinning at this establishment I have to say we were seated immediately and given menus to view. The selection was wonderful. We also had a drink menu what a great selection of cocktails. The dinner menu had a great selection of appetizers where we ordered four for our party of seven. We loved the calamari or served with ribbon veggies lightly fried. ( wish there was more calamari less veggies). The arugula and goat cheese with flatbread and figs very nice salad. The meat and cheese platter was a nice touch. The special tonight was the veal parm and is was a nice mix of pasta, red sauce and a huge piece of veal. The chicken Marsala was a light ribbon pasta with mushrooms and veggies. The lasagna ( no picture) is made for two if you are adventurous. All in all nice dinner selection with flavor and style. The plating was nice. We would recommend this new Italian location offering you a variety of drinks, appetizers, entries and save room for dessert. Thank you to our waiter( Hampton) and his helpers you guys did a great job waiting on us . Magnolia Villa you got my 5 star

    Disclaimer: I'm a a native New Yorker who grew up with an Italian mother in an Italian part of town. We had amazing Italian restaurants. First time at Magnolia Villa. Ambiance is very cool and crisp. Service was outstanding. Menu was a nice array of typical Italian options. The Food: presentation of each plate was spectacular. Started with the Eggs in Purgatory appetizer. Quite nice taste and the bread that came with it was quite good. I like an Italian Shakshuka and this measured up pretty well. Entrees: our table had the Fig and Goat Cheese Flat Bread, Chicken Marsala, and Chicken Parmigiana. All tasted pretty good. The flat bread was tasty. The chicken parm was good. The Marsala was okay. Not a lot of Marsala wine sauce. The fettuccini on the plate was in an Alfredo and that took over the dish from the Marsala. The Broccoli Rabe was a nice addition to the plate (I love broccoli rabe) which is an underused Italian green IMO. All in all a great experience. Italian food in the south is always so-so unfortunately for me. I wouldn't call it authentic, but decent. I really like the ambiance of this place and the service was outstanding.

    What a wonderful experience. Magnolia Villa just opened 4 days ago (11/11/21) in The Mill at Etowah. An open floor plan with clean lines and a modern decor. For a restaurant that's only been open 4 days they are putting on their A game! Servers already know, in detail the menu, and how everything is prepared and cooked. The chicken Parmigiana was amazing. Nice crust and crunch on the outside and moist and tender on the inside. Pasta was done perfectly. Had some firmness and not to soft. The sauce/gravy was exceptional. Very flavorful and thick. The appetizer, Beef Tenderloin Carpaccio was out of this word awesome. Thinly sliced with a creamy Parmesan, Arugula and flat bread chips. A very good line up of nice reds and any cocktail you want. A very good value. Wishing Magnolia Villa all the best.

    I love the ambience in this restaurant, and the dishes are all presented beautifully. My favorite was the chicken caprese pasta with the balsamic glaze drizzled on top.

    By far, the BEST Italian restaurant in Canton, Georgia and in my opinion, North Georgia. Using the freshest ingredients and offering an unique menu, this was an amazing gourmet food experience for my family. Everything we ate and drank were absolutely incredible. We started with Paper Plane Cocktails. The arrived quickly and were refreshing. So delicious, we ordered a second round. Our server made several suggestions, was very friendly and gave us exceptional service! I wish I could remember his name. The whole staff was awesome! Our appetizers included the bruschetta, fig and goat cheese flatbread and beef tenderloin carpaccio. The carpaccio melted in my mouth. The beef tenderloin used in the carpaccio dish was tender and full of flavorful. This was my favorite appetizer and alone, I ate most of the plate. The fig and goat cheese flatbread offered a burst of many different flavors, sweet and savory. If you are wanting this flatbread as a meal, the serving size could easily feed two adults. The bruschetta was served on a buttery, crispy, focaccia bread and topped with seasonal tomatoes, fresh basil, drizzled with a balsamic reduction and extra virgin olive oil. The olive oil was as equally buttery and tasted amazing. My family all ordered different entrees: lasagna, chicken a la marsala, and chicken parm. The lasagna was cooked to perfection with the noodles firmly holding the flavorful meat sauce and bubbling cheese on top and throughout. The lasagna tasted like a long-standing family recipe sent down from Grandma. I wanted to go kiss the chef, no joke! It had to have been my favorite and I will be ordering this again. Forget the calories and order the lasagna. You will thank me later. The serving is large enough to share, like most every dish we received. The chicken parm was crispy, seasoned perfectly, topped with a delicious red sauce and served with spaghetti noodles. The chicken a la marsala wine sauce was full of flavor, served on fettuccini noodles with a side of broccolini. The mushrooms in the chicken a la marsala were also cooked to perfection, holding their shape and flavor. We were determined to order dessert when our waiter told us that the owners wanted to pick out two desserts "on the house". That was very kind and we were extremely grateful. Not pictured, because I devoured it before I had an opportunity to take a photo of it, was the butterscotch budino. The butterscotch custard was sweet and luscious. It was absolutely delicious. No Italian meal is complete without cannolis. The sweetened ricotta and chocolate chip filling in the cannolis was creamy and scrumptious. The pastry shell on the outside of the cannolis were delightfully crispy. Magnolia Villa was an incredible Tuscan experience that we can not wait to share with our friends and other family members. The staff was very friendly and gave us prompt service, making us feel as if we were the only customers in a busy restaurant. The price point for this Italian meal was extraordinarily reasonable for the serving sizes and gourmet taste. Located in The Mill on Etowah, Magnolia Villa is a hop, jump and a skip from the Downtown District of the City of Canton. The food was exceptional!

    Do they have a dog friendly patio?

    Yes they do. Outside seating is dog friendly.

    My wife and I are looking forward to reading lunch here soon, but no lunch menu is listed on their website. I saw a review mention the lunch menu was limited - can anyone shed light on whether the dinner menu is always available?

    The dinner menu is always available. They don't have a lunch menu when I was there. But have something called small plates which may or may not be appetizers.

    POPS has truly become one of our go-to spots, and it never disappoints. From the moment you walk up…read moreand hear the smooth jazz playing, you know you're in for something special. Step inside and you're greeted with a warm, welcoming atmosphere and the kind of friendly faces that make you feel right at home. Then comes the food--fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. My husband sticks to the classics (and loves every bite), while I always look forward to whatever creative seasonal dishes Andy and Amber come up with. Fall is my favorite time because I have to get the butternut squash pasta--it's that good. It's always great to see POPS busy, even during the week. It just adds to the energy of downtown and makes you appreciate having such a gem in the community. We truly hope POPS becomes a longtime staple here in Canton--places like this deserve it. If you haven't been yet, do yourself a favor and go. You won't regret it.

It was not immediately clear to me that this place was a counter service/seat yourself establishment. Restaurant had the vibe inside that it recently shut half its seating & bar space. I was looking for something a little bit more upscale and Italian to treat myself, and I left feeling a little disappointed and like I overpaid for the experience. The food was good, but I hope they improve the dine in experience.

    Tried the Shrimp and Grits on this visit, and the dish really could've used some kind of broth or…read moresauce to pull it together. With a heavy mound of onions and mushrooms on top, the grits ended up feeling dry and pulled all the moisture out of the bite. The flavor itself was fine, just lacking moisture and balance. We also ordered the scallops and risotto. The risotto was the standout. Bright, fresh finish, great texture, and not overpowering. The scallops, unfortunately, were the opposite. They had a noticeably strong smell right away, which usually means they're not as fresh as they should be, especially at a $40 price point. We took them home, but every time we opened the fridge the smell hit us, so they ultimately went in the trash. Despite this particular experience, we've always enjoyed this place. Service is consistently great, drinks are solid, and we usually leave happy. Hoping this was just an off evening, because we genuinely like coming here. Adding an additional * for the great service and because we haven't had a bad experience otherwise.

    Excellent food. Amazing service. Quiet & quaint atmosphere…read more I'm a bit at a loss for words. The food was well-spiced, well-presented, and a delight to eat. The service was attentive and not over chatty. The ambience was cute, a bit feminine (especially at the door), but quiet, nicely lit.
