Today's my husbands birthday (whoop!!) so we thought we'd celebrate at Provino's. We love this place any day but on birthdays, they offer an incentive! As of this writing, it's $14.50 off an entree and a spumoni ice cream! They check ID so be honest. We were sat right away by the hostess. The dining room is separated into alcoves of sorts. Each alcove has 8 or so booths. They also have a dining room with tables for larger parties. I ordered the spaghetti with meat sauce and two meatballs. The birthday boy ordered the eggplant parm that comes with a side of spaghetti and marinara. Both portions were generous! My spaghetti was delicious! The sauce grips the noodles & is flavorful. I'll preface this with my husband's family is Italian.... Sicilian. So making sauce (they call it gravy) is an all day event. It's not bolognese like Provino's meat sauce. I appreciate Provino's because it's not acidic like some marinaras can be (no offense Nana!). He loves the eggplant parm because it's flavorful and they prepare as it should be. They dry the eggplant to keep it from being soggy. It's really beautifully done. The house merlot was delicious. A single glass was $7.50 but a bottle is $15. Nice!! Our server, Timothy, was attentive and chill. We'll be back because the Daniella is amazing and well, we just enjoy Provino's! read more

What in the world did you guys do to the linguini and clams? It's disgusting now. Cheap frozen product and I question if it's artificial clams. I'm so mad I got it to go because I would have sent it back if dining in. I won't be back read more

What a disappointment. My husband and I have gone to Provinos for years. Today's dinner was a real disappointment. the salad and rolls were good. however, they must have a new cook that doesn't know how to cook Italian dishes. I ordered Chicken Marsala. i asked if it was floured before cooking and was told no. Well, it was. They served the Marsala on a salad size plate with the gravy almost overflowing the edges of the plate. The penne pasta was over cooked and served with Marinara sauce (was more like they opened a can of diced tomatoes), once again almost overflowing the small bread plate they served it on. absolutely no taste to either dish. Do they not have dinner plates to serve on? My husband ordered sausage and peppers over linguine. the peppers were raw, the sausage was served inside the green pepper, similar to a taco. The Marinara sauce barely covered the pasta. Not sure if we'll go back again. read more

Will become a regular while watching an AMC movie, before or after. Quaint interior with separate dining sections. Fantastic service! Enjoyed Cannelloni Genovese, came with salad served family style to share, and garlic rolls- entree very rich..and filling. Had the Spumoni ice cream, and Cafe Provino, large serving of both. Fair pricing which is a surprise these days. Impressed all around.... read more

What a disappointment. I ordered the Zita Al Mondo and I could find nothing redeeming about it. Pasta is inexpensive, so please, don't use leftover. It was mushy and inedible. The other diner I was with ordered chicken parmigiana which was super skimpy and dry. The salad was tasty but considering I left more than half my Zita Al Mondo it was a mighty expensive salad. Never again. The worst Italian restaurant I've ever been to. read more

Very good experience. I got the red snapper and it was delicious. The salad was delicious, the bread was delicious. It was a nice atmosphere. I'm not sure why the reviews are so low, but my experience was five star. read more

If you're looking for a traditional Italian food experience with very cool old world decor, then head out to Provino's. Plenty of seating with both intimate booths or tables and open large tables for big groups. But the amazing entrees is what brings Provino's to the top. My Shrimp and Scallops were amazing. Thick rich Alfredo cream sauce covering soft tender shrimp and scallops over a pasta. Just delicious. Other hits at the table were the Scampi Al Forno, Chicken Francese and the stuffed mushroom appetizer. All were causing moans, groans, oohs and ahhs of delight. The Spumoni and Tiramisu were equally delicious. Spumoni with the pistachio rum flavored ice cream. and Tiramisu was amazing. A sweet creamy flavor, the lady fingers were not over soaked and still had body and I like the fact that the coffee flavor was not over powering. An A plus indeed. A great place with awesome service. Perfect for dates, families or friends. read more

Been here multiple times the food has always been good.Of course , those garlic knots are irresistible. Salad is delicious and the staff has always been good. read more

We went for Mother's Day- we originally had picked another restaurant. Provino's had a much shorter line, making it the winner. The service was great. Ask for ROBERT. He's the waiter you want. The antipasto was good and filling. The salad was fresh. I ordered the cannelloni Del Mar; my wife got the shrimp and scallops. We traded meals. The cannelloni Del Mar was too sweet for my tastes. The bread wasn't my bag. It wasn't bad, but I'm not a huge fan of rolls. The tiramisu had an interesting presentation in a chilled sundae glass. Flavor was good but was heavy on the whipped cream. Price was not bad- pretty well in line with an average night out for dinner. Parking is great. read more

We had a Sunday reservation at 6 We were greeted promptly a seated. We had a group of 12 and our waitress quickly had our drinks followed by our appetizers and as soon as they were gone our plates were served our food was all amazing and we were out the door by 7:30 This is my brothers favorite restaurant and it always goes above and beyond read more

10 adults and 2 children at dinner the other night. As usual, the food was good, enjoyed the meal. Only thing that seemed off was no one was coming by to get salad and dinner dishes. We had piles of dishes we had to work around. Not a usual visit to Provinos. read more

Appetizers were not fresh they seemed to have been cooked from a frozen box! Dinners came out cold and looked as if they were from the night before! They must have changed owners coz the owners before were amazing! It was our go to for free birthday dinners. read more

My family loves this restaurant! The food is always delicious. The garlic rolls and salad are definitely better here than anywhere else! I've tried several dishes, but my go-to is the fettuccine daniello - it's soooo good! Sausage & peppers, lasagna & their daily special pastas are the other go-to's for our family. The kids' meal portions are good & our picky kids even love all the food here. The staff are always helpful and friendly. The environment is comfortable & has a cozy old world feel to it. They've got lots of booths that offer a nice amount of privacy & a more intimate feel. And - they are still giving free meals on your birthday! (We bring the kid's birth certificates on their bdays since they don't have id's yet lol) I highly recommend Provino's for a yummy Italian meal! read more

Every year when it's my birthday, I always come to Provino's. Their food is great especially the Garlic Bread. I usually order the Chicken Alfredo as my entree, and it is great too. I do have one problem though. Throughout the years, I have noticed the Garlic Bread has become smaller and smaller. The taste does not change; it has always been my favorite thing to eat there. Besides the Garlic Bread getting smaller, the customer service and servers are great, and the food comes out on time and is always tasty. read more

I was pleasantly surprised to have this Italian restaurant so close to my house. I had this restaurants food twice before through a catered work event and that was pretty good too. When you walk in you get a blast of garlic but in the best possible way. It was dimly lit and much larger on the inside then it looks from the outside. We were quickly seated in a comfortable booth. The service was friendly. After we ordered she brought out salad and garlic rolls. Both were above average in my opinion. I really liked the beets and garbanzo beans. The rest of the food came out quickly. The apps of calamari and fried cheese raviolis were fantastic. There was a lot of calamari for the price. I would suggest that they serve it with a wedge or two of lemon. The marinara was really chunky. I prefer smoother but it had a good taste. My main meal of fettuccine was a large portion! I asked for some crushed red peppers to spice it up. The pasta was cooked perfectly but I did find the sauce a little bland. I would probably order it again though. Overall the meal was extremely successful. I would highly recommend it if you are in the area. read more

Our go-to place when we want traditional Italian food. Our servers have been attentive and quick to make suggestions for our entrees and deserts. Portions are plentiful and enough for take-home. Try the sausage and peppers for something different. read more

We've been coming to this location for years. Every family birthday, we always visit for the free birthday meal and I can honestly say in the 10+ years of visits, we have never once had a bad experience. Our waitress this weekend was so friendly and interacted with our toddler, which we always appreciate. She kept our drinks and rolls refilled and kept making sure our dinner was enjoyable. The chicken francese and the chicken alfredo are always my go-to items here. I was happily surprised to find that since the francese comes with a side of pasta, you can substitute that for fettuccini alfredo and receive the best of both worlds. We love the intimate seating here as well. The dimmed lights and set up of the booths really gives you a family dinner experience unlike most other restaurants in the area. We'll continue to be life long customers! read more

First time I went I was not a big fan. I didn't think I'd go back but I gave it another chance and I was not disappointed. I had a special pesto shrimp that was delicious. I wish they'd add it to the menu. Ambiance was unique and cozy. Service was very good. read more

My dish was terrible, but everything else was good. My wife's Cannelloni Genovese was incredibly delicious and thankfully she couldn't finish it off so I ate the remainder and left the majority of my entrée untouched. I won't order the Pasta Lover again since the sauce was so flavorless and the pasta was sitting in a lake of water that gave the dish a metallic taste. The meatball and sausage that topped it were fine. In the future I'll ask for Rosatella Sauce be substituted on my pasta. The garlic rolls were great. And the salad was a unique flavor. It contains beets, but they aren't strongly pickled. I'd normally pick them out, but since they were neutral in flavor they didn't alter my enjoyment of the salad. Service was friendly, but drink refills and service was a bit too slow. read more

The food was okay, but nothing special. Service was very good, attentive and prompt. The ambience was very nice, warm and friendly.

Food, service and employees are excellent. Their salad and garlic butter bread is divine! Love that they have Spumoni ice cream too!!!!

Very enjoyable, good food, good service in a very casual atmosphere. The salad Italian dressing is perfectly balanced. Eggplant parmesan was generous wity layers of ricotta in between. Pasta lovers was good, not exceptional though geneorous portion with delicious mushrooms. Kennesaw location is also very good, our normal haunt. read more

The food was excellent. I love the staff as well. And the ambiance was just awesome. We love the paintings.

We used to eat at the Provino's near the Mall of Georgia when we lived near there. Our whole family liked it. After we moved away a few years ago, we rarely get to dine at a Provino's as they have no locations near us. We were on a Sunday outing to Gibbs Gardens and finished just before lunchtime. I had scouted venues ahead of time, and this place was less than 25 minutes away. We pulled off I-575 and located the restaurant within a mile, set back in a large plaza. There were not a lot of customers when we arrived (probably right after they opened for lunch), so we temporarily had a whole room to ourselves. Some other people did come in before we left, but I assume there was a post-church lunch rush at some point. Service was good. We ordered some of the dishes we used to get, and they were still quite good. I enjoyed the spinach tortellini. They also serve a bowl of salad as well as garlic rolls (with dipping butter). Everyone was quite happy with the meal and we had some leftovers for lunch the next day also. Were I in this area again, I'd gladly go back. read more

Can honestly say I found one if not the best Italian food in Atlanta!!!! (Even tho it's outside Atlanta). The food is delicious and the environment is cozy. The service is exquisite. If they would've had a full bar then that would be a done deal read more

This was my first visit to Provino's. It reminded me of Olive Garden, with all you can eat salad and garlic rolls (instead of bread sticks). The service was excellent, the food was pretty good, and the prices were reasonable. All of the entrees were a generous size. I will definitely be going back. read more

My wife and I came here to enjoy a meal with our son. The restaurant was not busy, not even a wait in the lobby and because my son was not there yet, the restaurant would not seat us. I asked for a manager and I was just told that it was the policy. What? Who doesn't make an exception in this case. The restaurant could sell more alcohol or appetizers if they would just sit the party that is waiting for someone else. Why not accommodate you are in the service/ hospitality business! I will not be back and tonight they missed over $100.00 of my business for sub par food. read more

I have been eating at Provino's restaurant for nearly 40 years (Roswell & Canton) & it has always been wonderful!! The food is delicious, the salad, and rolls are amazing!! The wait staff is typically very knowledgeable about the menu & attentive to our table. The restaurant has a rustic, Italian-feel, nice enough for a date night, yet also family-friendly. read more

My wife and I love this place! The salad and garlic rolls are to die for! Most main courses and desserts are excellent! However, stay away from anything that has the watery and tasteless meat sauce. read more

Nice ambiance, wonderful service and adequate food. The veal Francese was swimming in way too much sauce, and the veal was a little too thick, making it tough...should have been able to cut it with a fork...The meat sauce for the spaghetti lacked enough actual meat! We've been coming here for years, so we might go back and just try something different...the spumoni was delicious also, and salad and garlic rolls were delicious! read more

Provino's is a family favorite. Their food over the years is consistently very good. We have always had great service there. It has a nice family feel or you can have a smaller sitting area for a more intimate or romantic dinner with your significant other. The dinner rolls they bring you before and during dinner or swimming in butter and chunks of garlic, so good. They bring a traditional salad that you can toss with their own house dressing, and it is very good as well. And they do have a broad range of offerings on their menu from traditional pastas to seafood to chicken and even veal if that is your thing. I highly recommend this restaurant and hope you enjoy it as much as our family does. And if you go on your birthday and show them your ID or license, you can get a free dinner on your birthday. One of the few places it still does things like this. read more

My family celebrated my birthday here last night. We visit every month and as always, the food was delicious! They used impeccable precautions for COVID while still allowing a very comfortable and intimate ambiance. I absolutely love the Chicken Francese and those garlic rolls! What makes this visit so exceptional was how they took such great care of my granddaughter and her mother. My granddaughter has severe food allergies (dairy, egg, soy, peanut, etc). Dan and his staff took such excellent care of them. We greatly appreciate it! Thank you! Highly recommend! read more

Provino's Italian Restaurant - Italian Near Me - Canton, Georgia

We went out for my birthday and everything was fine until we got the food. Everyone in the party's food was good except for one. My mom got shrimp parmesan it was visibly burnt. But she was still served it. She waited around to see if the waitress "Kinze or Kelsey " would come back so she could tell her that it wasn't good but she didn't come back until we were all done eating. My mom still told her that it was so tuff that she could eat it. The waitress said that it was because the shrimp didn't cook well in the oven and they had to double cook it. She did ask my mom if she could make her something else. But by this point we all where done eating and didn't want to have to wait for something else. My father was upset by the double cooked comments so he asked to speak to manager. A man named Charles came to the table and said he was manager and he had personally cooked my mom meal and their was nothing wrong with it. My dad said that he felt like we should be compensated for my mom's meal since she didn't eat. He got a attitude and snatched up the ticket and left. While we where waiting on him to come back the waitress came back to table and started arguing with us about the meal and saying the manager said we told him she wouldn't do anything for us. I was completely taken back by the way she treated us. She said that she hears comments like this all the time and we just wanted a free meal. Needless to say we will no longer be going back to the Provinos in Canton it has really gone down hill and after many year of going there I have never been treated as badly as I was this last visit. read more
