The chicken wings and fried Brussels sprouts were delicious! The drink I had was called the dragon fly (had Titos) in it, it was very tasty (not a huge buzz, but good). Went on a Friday night wasnt very busy at all. They did have a DJ there that starts at 9pm.I saw a sign for Sunday Brunch as well.

I just hosted a birthday event for 25 people at La Dolce Vita in the restaurant's beautiful private room. The food, service and atmosphere were all outstanding and our servers Mike and Marianne took great care of our group. We will definitely come back for brunch and to eat (when the weather improves) in the lovely patio!

Once again my visit was met with a smile and a good attitude. It was a rainy day and I was not feeling too hot but the Clerk that help me was so nice that it made my day better. Keep up the good work.

This is our second visit to El Barzon. The first time was very good - typical speed for a busy restaurant and good food. This time the restaurant wasn't full. Our waiter, Pablo, was great...right there whenever we needed him. My Caesar salad and lasagna were very good. My husband said the veal dish and the seafood appetizer were excellent. I'm sure we will return again more than once.

This was a nice find in the Corktown area. Nice thin crust pizza. Good salads. I didn't care for the wine I ordered. It was too sweet despite the waitress telling me it wasn't sweet at all. Also don't love wine served in stemless tumblers. Chairs horribly uncomfortable. Service was okay...very friendly but a bit unpolished. Lunch for three about $110. There is a bocce ball court outside but we didn't play.

Wow, thick pizza. The pizza has lots of cheese, toppings and extremely thick crust. I think I prefer thin crust instead of the thick crust. Very pleasant server and very busy place on a Saturday night before a home football game

Came here for dinner while in town for the Lions game. Zuber our waiter took great care of us while dining here. All the meals come with soup or salad and pasta. We got the chicken parm and chicken Olivio. Both were very good. Came with vegetables and pasta and 2 breasts of chicken. Bread bowl was very fresh. Prices reasonable for what you get. Desserts were very good as well especially the Cannolli. Will comeback when here in Detroit. Thank you for visiting while in town. So glad you had a wonderful time at our location with Zuber, and that the game was the cherry on top (as long as you were routing for the Lions) of your day.

First time in Detroit and everyone said I had to visit Buddyâs. Service was quick and pleasant, pizza was good but nothing to write home about. Kind of tastes like Pizza Hut to me. They also messed up on my friendâs pizza, and they took it off the bill.Cee, we're sorry to hear we've missed the mark with you, as it's essential for us to get orders correct.

We love Supino--it never disappoints. Before visiting area galleries during Detroit Art Week (DAW), we fueled up at Supino. I had an outstanding gnocchi, the special of the day; my friend had a slice of pizza. We both had the house salad---which we both love, and have had many times. Our server was very attentive. The food, as always, was great. Prices are reasonable. Fueled and ready, we took on the night of gallery crawling! We will return...again and again.

Three couples celebrated my birthday here. It was great! One person was dissatisfied with her meal...veal with crab meat. Everything else was spot on. Osso Bucco, a ribeye, etc. The tiramisu was the best I've ever had. A side pasta had the best bolognese I've ever had. I highly recommend. Drinks were good. Prices fair though they showed no mercy with the wine list.
