If you dont want lots of chunks of garlic all over your pizza, its best to ask ahead. This place could have a lot more ambiance with half an effort and they might triple their business given its convenient location

It seems every time I come here the great staff at Bacco out performs my expectations. The diver scallop appetizer with mushroom sauce is one of the best thing ever that Iâve put in my mouth. The balance is perfect. You must try this!The fresh halibut was a daily feature and delicious.The portion size was big and once again everything with balance so well.

Cantoro Italian Market is hands-down, the best Italian market in Detroit area!! They have a tremendous assortment of produce, meats, homemade pastas, cheese, imported deli meats, pastries/sweets.....you name it, they've got it. They also have the best homemade Italian breads that you will find anywhere in the city. As much as I love this place, I still enjoy visiting the original location, which we have been frequenting for over 10 years. Thanks for making this market so special!

Since Antonios was celebrating their 55th year as a family owned restaurant, they were offering a special for certain pasta dishes with 55% off the second order. We ordered the angel hair pasta with tomato sauce and added the grilled chicken which included a salad or soup, but before our meal was served, the server brought a basket of freshly prepared garlic bread/rolls. You have to be careful not to eat the entire basket before your main meal is served. The portions are so large that each of the six of us asked for containers to take home for at least another meal. Also, our server brought additional bread for us to add to our container. There are so many other options available that I need to return soon. I loved the fact that six of us were seated in the area to the left in a booth time arrangement which kept the noise level less noisy.

In the past, I have always enjoyed my food at Buca di Beppo, but this last time was very poor. Starting with the poor service, the food that arrived was reheated and glued to our plates. The fettuccine alfredo was like glue...just horrible. The eggplant parmigiana had a refrigerator smell, like it had sat in the fridge and garnered all of those smells and tastes...just gross. I was stunned at how poor our experience was this last time.Thank you for being a loyal customer of Buca di Beppo.

4. Steven Lelli's on the Green

Reviewed By JayDeLo
We joined a group for dinner before the holiday, and enjoyed a variety of food from shrimp Lelli (yum!) to calmari and meatball appetizers to a filet and lamb chops and Dover sole. The prices were breathtaking ($68 for the dover sole!). The Lelli's minestrone soup was excellent. Bread was to and tasty. I was told by the waiter that the "special" lamb chops were 4 large cuts, but I got three and they were not extra cut. Disappointing, especially for the price. My wife's filet was good, but not great. For the price, it should have been much better.
3. Buddy's Pizza

We've heard good things about the "original" Detroit-style pizza, so thought we'd try it. Now, of course, this is not the original original Buddy's, but we were in Southfield, so this suburban Buddy's would have to do. We placed a carryout order for an eight-square with pepperoni on the top, Italian sausage, green peppers, green olives, and black olives. Now, we understand that their normal placement for the pepperoni is under the sauce and cheese, but we like our pepperoni on the crispy side so hence our request (it's not like they don't offer pepperoni on top, as some of their specialty pizzas do it this way - they call it "old world style" or some such). Before we ended our call, we reminded the person taking our order that we wanted the pepperoni on top - they acknowledged this so we thought no problem.We get our pizza and, yep, you guessed it, the pepperoni was buried underneath the sauce and cheese so we got pepperoni cold cuts instead of crispy pepperoni like we like it - that's two "balls" of their score right there. They didn't follow our instructions on how to make our pizza (minus one) and then ignored our reminder that that's what we wanted (minus two).As we got to eating our mis-prepared pizza, we noticed a remarkable paucity of Italian sausage - most pieces had only a couple of little fingernail sized bits of sausage, a few pieces had only one. We also dissected a piece and found no pepperoni on it at all either. So, at least one eighth of our sausage and pepperoni pizza had only one half-inch bit of sausage and no pepperoni - that's another "ball" off the score, if we'd wanted a vegetarian pizza, we'd have ordered it that way.The pizza that we got was okay - the crust was fine with a little crunch around the edges from the caramelized cheese. There was plenty of green and black olive slices and a fair amount of green pepper (but not like most pizzas that we get around the country). We even got an extra - some onions here and there (sadly we don't like onions on our pizzas, but we'll leave the score at poor as we don't want to be too hard on this place).Overall, we can't recommend this place as they don't pay attention to what their customer's order, even when reminded. They are stingy on the meats on top of that. This pizza wasn't remotely close to being a reasonable value for the price we paid.We're sorry to hear we've missed the mark with you, as it's essential for us to ensure your pizza exceeds all your expectations. Our team would appreciate the opportunity to work towards your complete satisfaction and hope you'll give us the chance to speak with you further.

We visited Cafe Cortina to celebrate our 35th anniversary. I proposed marriage to my wife to be almost 36 years ago. I defy you to name 5 fine dining restaurants in the metropolitan Detroit area with that kind of longevity and track record of excellence. From the minute we hit valet parking on the way in to valet parking on the way out it was a superb experience. The flow of service and coordination among the various table service staff members was remarkable. Quality of the food and the presentation was excellent. From start to finish we felt important and special. We hope to return again soon. And in the future, I want to collect on the Gold Candle that Paul said we would get for our 50th!
