Dimitri's Opa Restaurant

Reviewed By solomon5

We chose this restaurant because of its convenient location and position on the list. We should have paid more attention to the fact that most of the Excellent reviews were 2 years ago. Current reviews were not so positive. Portions were large. I had a pastrami sandwich without the bread. It came with cole slaw and fries. The meat was tough and dry, and the slaw was more flavorless sauce than any cabbage or other vegetables. There were no fries. When I asked about them I was told they were waiting for a nice fresh batch from the frier. These were barely lukewarm when they arrived and neither the watery ranch dressing nor the ketchup helped much. My husband’s wet burrito without the flour tortilla was gigantic. He could only eat half. Part of the reason was that Mexican flavor was lacking. He admitted that this was unsurprising as we were not in a Mexican restaurant.Lesson learned: no matter how hungry you are, read a lot of reviews and check the dates as well as number of reviews by the poster!

Nostalgia Wood Fired Oven

It all starts with the dough – made fresh here daily. We stretch it out and hand toss it and then it's on to the building station. We add our homemade red sauce along with fresh toppings like green peppers, mushrooms, onions, basil that we get from Detroi

Reviewed By brucecarriere

From the looks of this place it was promising. I have to say that the ingredients were very good however, the dough had plenty to be desired. The dough was undercooked and appeared it lacked enough sugar to brown and have any texture. Although it did not appear to be, it had very little "browning" on the bottom and was soggy.

Reviewed By Latty

I've eaten at other Buco's in the past. Bucos best days are in the past. The place was deserted; while Black rock next door was crankin. We were a couple and the 3 person portions are too much. When we decided to leave after drinks, the waitress wanted us to stay, so she let us order off the lunch menu.Buco needs to get with the time and have smaller portions. I realize the business model is built on family portions; but, people eat differently now.

The Partridge Creek Mall is cold in January, so we lunched at BRIO to warm up. The menu offers a wide variety and they post the calories of all the dishes which is greatly appreciated. Excellent, friendly and prompt service.

Penne Lane

Reviewed By tsboyce

Enjoy lunch here on occasion, always exceptionally good. Nice ambiance, too. My wife and I have been trying for years to find prime rib like we remember from our younger days in the beef-loving State of Kansas. Finally, jackpot! We visited Penne Lane for the Tuesday prime rib buffet on our 49th wedding anniversary. It was great...really delicious, from the salad to the superb prime rib and even our modestly sized but quite pleasant dessert. Our server was exceptionally attentive, albeit never intrusive and made sure we completely enjoyed our celebratory meal. As others have said, this is one of the finer restaurants on our side of town.Wow, thanks for the awesome review tsboyce! It's really nice to hear feedback about specific items like our prime rib buffet so we can make sure we continue making customers like you happy. Happy belated anniversary to you and your wife!

Nonna's Italian Kitchen

Reviewed By matthewl714

We carried out chicken Marsala, chicken parmigiana and chicken piccata (although it was called something else). Minestrone soup was very good, as was the salad and bread. Marsala was great. Parmigiana was good but a little tough. Piccata was not piccata, the order got messed up-whatever it was was still good, but it wasn’t what we ordered. Also, they said we were supposed to get sides of pasta with all our dinners but only got one. It was still very good and was a ton of food.

Da Francesco's

Reviewed By Paul M

This is the best Italian restaurant on the East Side period. It is a little expensive and you should always make your reservations a week in advance because it is always packed. My favorite appetizer is the Seafood Salad. It is hard to find something healthy, delicious and full of protein. But the Seafood Salad is all of these. My wife's favorite appetizer is the Eggplant Stack. I have had have of the entrees on the menu and they are all good. But my favorite is the Lobster Ravioli. My wife usually gets Eggplant or Chicken Parm. The noodles are always cooked perfect. I love Da's!
