I am truly appalled at how amazing this place was. The ambiance, the food the service was absolutely amazing in every way. I... love how they have the patio setup, it’s like you were transported into Italy, the food was to die for. My boyfriend got thegoat soup, I got the fresh fish and we had the Caesar salad and fried calamari shrimp and zucchini as an appetizer. Everythingwas truly amazing and the pasta THE PASTA!! They know what they’re doing. One of the best restaurants in Michigan hands down.We can’t wait to come back, it was money well spent. Read more
This place is incredible. The food is ridiculously good. I had the Chile En Nogada and I highly recommend that. Although I doubt... anything on the menu is bad. The layout is beautiful. It’s a pleasure just to sit in their outdoor patio, you can enjoy theweather without sweating in the sun. You can tell that this place is a labor of love. Every member of the staff is kind andattentive. As someone who has lived in Detroit for a few years, I’m a little sad that I’m only discovering this place now.It’s wonderful, and I can’t wait to go back. Read more
The place was live. Great appetizers like the stuffed eggplant, fried cheese, and the calamari. The sauces for the pastas were... amazing. The imported coca cola in a glass. Cool vibe. Accommodations for the children. Very friendly staff. Seems like freshlyhand made pasta. Because i do not eat meat. I didnt know what to order. Read more
Used to really like this place. The patio is admittedly fantastic. But the food is not only subpar (despite looking beautiful),... the portions are tiny for the price. I’m not sure I’ll come back. The cocktail was also overly sweet/syrupy and not worththe price. Lastly, do not get the calamari asparagus unless you want to eat something very sweet. The balsamic on it makes ittaste like dessert. Service was very professional. But the food was overpriced for the taste and portion. Read more
A truly elegant, unique dining experience. Upscale Italian & Mexican brought together seamlessly. Don’t fill up on the... excellent chips & salsa because no matter if you choose Mexican or Italian, you’ll be happy. The mole is wonderful. Read more
I know of no other fine dining Mexican restaurants in Detroit. They have a unique fusion of Italian and Mexican dishes, fabulous... seevice, great cocktails. It's a charming place. I opt for the Mexican dishes, as I have a surplus of Italian restaurants in myneighborhood. The prices for a restaurant of this caliber are very reasonable. This time I had the Pipian Verde Con Pollo; rhegreen sauce was flavorful and tangy. Read more
My second time and unfortunately not sure if will return. We had reservations and the place was pretty empty upon arrival. We... were greed and seated quickly. Water arrived fast so was someone else asking us to move because the table was to big for ourparty. Huh? Why were we placed at that table when the restaurant was empty. Anyway, we moved, no biggie, I just thought they'dknow how seat guests. Our waitress was very pleasant and she seem to know her menu well. She made great recommendations and ourappetizer arrived quick. However, we asked no less than 5-6 times for tortillas but no one came to bring it. I feel like as therestaurant got busy the staff and waitress forgot us. I believe a manager or owner passed by and ask how was everything. Weinformed him about us waiting and finally we got some attention but by the time we got our tortillas the appetizer was cold, noone wanted it. The stuffed pepper was delicious and the presentation was great. The sauce was a big too rich for me but that'smy personal opinion. I just wish it was hotter. The sauce was cold and so was the stuffing. I think there must be a bettercommunication between the staff, it was very annoying to be ignored for a long time...after all the places is not cheap, ourdinner was $300+ so for that I thought the service should be up there with the price.
