I went there tonight for my bday dinner. I didn't tell them because even if they give a free dessert I don't like getting free food. Takes money away from the restaurant. Anyway, as soon as we walked in the staff was so friendly and promptly took us to a table. We started with the cheese pizza bread. The dough was light with just the right amount of cheese. My partner got the chicken parmesan, ate half. I got the lasagna and ate about 1/3. (Has anyone ever eaten the whole thing??) The food was AMAZING!! The atmosphere was cozy and the service was excellent!!!

Really enjoyed our time here. The service was attentive, pleasant and friendly. The dinning area feels personal but spacious. Their in-house salad dressing is hands down the best dressing I have ever had and will purchase some to have at home. It is well worth it. Overall the food we had was good. I had to add a little salt to some of the dishes but I was completely satisfied with all that we tried and would order them again, although I want to try the pizza next time. We look forward to our next visit.

Came here on a Saturday night about an hour and a half before they closed. WOW!!! I am so happy I came here! The atmosphere is so charming. The calamari was some of the best I’ve ever had. We got it with marinara sauce instead of cocktail sauce and that was a great choice. The chicken Parmesan was the best I’ve had around Detroit so far. I was blown away. The bread was warm, the house wine was yummy, and the sauce was perfect. I was a little less impressed by the pizza, but I’m still glad I tried it. (I just think the dough could use a bit more salt). The chicken noodle soup was also good as a side - it looks plain but the flavor was really good. Overall this was a GREAT dining experience and it really hit the spot without breaking the bank :) everything together was $45.

If you want a place place with good Italian food that is homemade, this is the place. The cheese sticks and cheese bread came out nice and gooy, the lasagna is a big portion, meat ravioli was cooked amazingly, and the pizza, omg. The perfect amount of toppings and cheese, with a nice sweet and crunchy crust.

I got the vegetarian pizza.I was very disappointed. It didn't hit the mark for me or my son. Every friday we get vegetarian pizza from different restaurants. This one was highly recommended. Maybe their regular pizza is better, but it didn't hit the mark with us.

We went because Danielle is our favorite bartender from a past establishment. Since she switched jobs we wanted to see her. She raves about the food. We actually missed her she was off but we had Donna. She was just as good! A real firecracker. Great service and funny! Makes a good Long Island too! We will definitely be back!
