5 Best Restaurants in Canton, Ohio You Need to Try Before Everyone Else Finds Them

Canton, Ohio — a city where the echoes of industry mingle with the laughter of families on porch swings, where the spires of old churches rise above brick streets, and where every block hums with the stories of those who built, dreamed, and stayed.

CANAL FULTON − Mary Nervo said her work in the wine industry started as a hobby during the cold months. "It was something to do during the winter," said Nervo, who owns S&M Winery in Canal Fulton with her life partner, Steve Geiger. She said appreciation from friends pushed it farther.
