    Cool place! When I walked in, I expected to see just a coffee menu and some baked goods, but this establishment is so much more. I could have eaten lunch here. They have a nice menu and if I wouldn't have just finished lunch, I would have dined in. Cozy looking restaurant that's nicely decorated. The person that took my order made an excellent coffee beverage. I ordered an iced seasonal coffee drink. Tasted great! Looking forward to coming back here soon to try some of their food items.

    What can I say? This place is absolutely awesome. It has an interesting combination of vibes, too. I can't really pin it down. Has an LA Noire/speakeasy kind of feel paired with a Southern/Cajun food flavor. And all that speaks to me like home. There are a total of three menus covered front and back. Two of them dedicated to beer, wine, cocktails, and a huge list of whiskey to die for. I have to highlight their incredible Vieux Carre and Sazerac. They're in no way sparing of alcohol, holding true to a perfect blend no matter what day you come in. Their hugely varied food menu features staples like jambalaya, gumbo, and shrimp & grits (a perfectly acceptable take on a Carolina classic). There are also plenty of po-boy sandwiches and wraps, salads, a Thai curry and a local fave: walleye, prepped Cajun style. And yes, their desserts do include beignets. Prices are on the high side, but every bit worth it. They have a stage with sound setups and host and enjoyable open mic night every Wednesday with acoustic flare. In my opinion it's a shame they don't run it on weekends too. I've always been treated well by their awesome employees. There is a father-son pair I've always seen here. They are expanding the space soon into the space next door - the extra room will no doubt help with their growing popularity.

    I've been coming here every other week or so for about 6 months now. I came at random on a work lunch break and have been coming back ever since. The head waitress is just wonderful. She makes you feel like part of the family! She's been predicting my drink order since my first visit too. The food is fabulous. I think today is the day I've now had everything on their regular menu. I haven't had a bad thing yet, and everything is made to order. The coffee is fresh, on demand if they need to make it that way, and they are happy to do so. The whiskey selection here is mind-blowing, albeit much too expensive for Wadsworth OH. That's probably my only demerit on the whole place. They carry everything from the very popular and hard to find, all the way to insanely rare. I need to stop coming at lunch so I can sample more of it!

    Bread pudding!  Delicious!

    Excellent Cajun seafood! Easily the beat in Northeast Ohio! Great selection of Bourbon and coffee. Megan is an amazing bartender. She is very knowledgeable. I will be back!

    This place has excellent bourbon and great food! The service is good and the ambiance is fun.

    Such a cute and cozy coffee, cafe, and bar! Wadsworth has great charm, and Sonnets has the perfect vibe. There's live Music some evenings, the staff is friendly, and it's dimly lit and comfortable. I tried a few coffee drinks, and my husband had some beers and whiskeys they offered. We will definitely be back, and I have heard great things about what they offer for lunch as well.

    We ordered take out, a deluxe large pizza tonight. First time trying this restaurant. Very good,…read more not a chain. It was hot and ready on time

    I just had the absolute worst customer service I've ever experienced at a restaurant…read more To begin the journey, I called to place a pickup order which consisted of two pizzas and two calzones. It took at least six times for me to state my order, and the gentleman I was speaking with to repeat it back to me incorrectly before we both felt comfortable that he had the details right. He was an older fellow so I tried to be patient and told him that order accuracy is everything so I was ok spending the extra time to make sure the order was right. Once I arrived and my order was ready, we realized that one of the pizzas had the wrong toppings. At first I told them just to refund that part of the order because by the time they remade that one and I got everything home, the stuff that was right wouldn't be good after sitting in the boxes for so long. They insisted that they could remake the pizza in 8 minutes and that everything was would be fine if they left the rest of the order on top of the ovens. I repeated at least twice that I would prefer the partial refund, but they continued to insist so I grudgingly agreed. Once that one was done, they showed it to me and mentioned they added extra cheese. I was handed four boxes which allegedly contained my original order. They also told me they added an extra calzone and a slice of cheesecake in an attempt to make up for their error. Fast forward to the house and when I opened the boxes, I found not only the pizza that they remade, but also a duplicate of that pizza instead of one of the calzones I ordered and the "bonus" calzone looked like it had been sitting on the counter for the last 12 hours. To top it off, as I expected the two items from the original order that actually were correct were ice cold by that point. I will never, ever do business with these people again. It's a shame, because the food is decent when they get it right. It's simply just not worth the hassle. I was wrong about giving the benefit of the doubt to the older gentleman. I arrived early and had a good 15 minutes to see how he interacted with both the employees and other customers. Someone needs to tell him he should step away from the front lines.

    Let's start off by saying I rated this place 2 stars a few years ago. After going there for years,…read morethe service and food had become mediocre at best. The pizza was usually under cooked or completely wrong almost every time we ordered. Well, a couple of months back a friend said that there was a new owner so we decided to try it again. What a change! The people on the phone are actually competent and friendly. I've ordered a half dozen times in the last few months and every time my order was exactly how I wanted it. Large pepperoni, thin crust, well done. And that's what I get. So kudos to the new management and team members. They've restored my faith in the Gioninos brand. Keep up the good work.

From what our family has seen, there were serious concerns about staff behavior and the overall safety culture within the kitchen and management team. What is even more upsetting is the way serious issues were handled or more accurately, not handled. Situations that should have been treated with urgency, professionalism, and genuine concern were met with what felt like avoidance and a lack of accountability. No family should ever have to question whether a business is doing enough to protect the wellbeing of the people around them, especially minors. Because of this experience, our family has completely lost trust in this establishment. We would strongly urge ownership to reevaluate who they employ, how they supervise staff, and how they respond when alarming concerns are raised. Until real changes are made, we cannot recommend that anyone support this restaurant.
