17 Best Italian Restaurants in Ann Arbor

“My friends & I enjoyed a delicious meal Thursday night before a concert at The Ark. The restaurant was charming, food & wine excellent & Ricardo went out of his way to make our dinner enjoyable. Ricardo saved me by finding my iPhone & racing up the stairs to give it to me just as we were about to walk up the street. I am forever grateful!!!“

“Went for my first time today and the food was phenomenal. Chicken Alfredo was perfect. Bread was amazing. The swiss roll dessert was perfection!! waiter was great. highly recommend dining here.“

“Love the food! Usually get the cavatappi con pollo. So good!“

“We visited Mani for the first time with our group of 6 friends. The restaurant is cute and the different levels and layout was nice. Very cool to see the open kitchen. The tables were very small and cramped. We were at a table for 6 but with 6 adults we barely had room to move our arms comfortably due to how short the table was and how close to the wall. We visited around 8 pm so it was very busy but even being that busy, our cocktails took an exceptionally long time to come out. We got the calamari and the focaccia to share. The calamari was good and the focaccia with the honey butter and chili oil was honestly the best bread any of us have ever had. The combination of the bread and the butter and honey and chili oil was unexpected but absolutely fantastic and delicious. I got the Cacio e Pepe which was very good. I tried my friend’s shrimp scampi pasta and it was fantastic. The pizza was also very good. I got the isalita margarita and the espresso cocktail which were both delicious. Our sever was good as well overall. The only other complaint is that for the 6 of us all of our meals came out separately. I have never been to a restaurant where they don’t hold the food until it’s all ready to come out. There was almost 10 minutes between the first person who got food and the last of us who did. Luckily the phenomenal food and drinks will bring us back but hoping next time the service is a little more organized and we can get a table for 6 in the middle and not crammed against the wall.“

“Great selection of Italian dishes, excellent soup, salad, and bread sticks. The deserts are wonderful. There is a good selection of wines and beer.

The food was served hot and fresh. Each dish looked appealing and smelled delicious.

The wait staff was friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable.

The seating was quite nice with a view of a pond right outside. The ducks and geese made for a wonderful view.

I highly recommend this location for all the reasons above.“

“Had my bridal shower at the location in Ann Arbor and it was absolutely perfect. The food was unreal, staff were phenomenal, and it is so cute inside. Absolutely would recommend to anyone looking for a party venue, night out with friends, or date night. Also been to the Howell and Milford locations and needless to say, we are big fans all around!“

“I miss working here lol pizza was bomb but It made me fat. God bless.“

“The best NY Stile pizza right on 🥰“

“We visited tonight after having a rough day. We have been eating out quite a bit because of life…so we have a lot of waiters/waitress. Tonight, we had Bella and she was an absolute gem! She was very attentive, very friendly, and quick to attend to our needs. It was a great dining experience with a wonderful dinner and a great waitress! Thank you Bella!“

“Unfortunately I didnt have time to try the pizza but it looked freaking amazing! My husband and I planning to come back. We were there for a going sway party. We had the area in the front blocked off. It felt like hanging out in a front porch with friends, drinking, laughing, and just enjoying ourselves. The door guy was funny and the younger girl at the counter was super nice, eventhough the line was really long! I definitely recommend you give this place a try!“

“Apps were incredible. Patio seating was lovely. Hosts and servers were accommodating for our large group. The pizza was quite good, some of the red pizza options were a bit soggy, but good flavor on the red sauce and an excellent char on the crust. Would have preferred a bit chewier and more glutenous crumb (especially for sourdough pizza) but nothing to complain about. Would like to come back here for entrees considering how good the apps were. Good selection of local beers, largely Arbor Brewing and a few other craft standouts.

Parking is a circus and there are no handicap spaces or cutouts for wheelchairs.“

“The food at this place is excellent. One of the best Caesar salads in town. The waitperson mentioned they take 72 hours to prep the pizza crusts. We’ve dined here 3 times and it’s always been delicious with a friendly server. But, the place doesn’t appear to get much traffic. I hope others will discover it and share our enthusiasm. I would hate to see it close.“

“We enjoyed a particularly well-made batch of Detroit-style pizza & Jet’s Bread from this reliable Jet’s location. South Lyon reliably shows up with good service, on-time. Well-staffed location putting out quality product.“

“Consistently delicious! Quick delivery! Online ordering is easy.“

“Did a Jets vs Buddy’s review and Jets won. Walked in and order and 8 min later had this amazing pizza that was cooked perfect. Idk if it can get any better. That was my first time eating Jets and now it’s going to be my new go to. This location is take out only FYI.“

“Check out my I G lawyer.traveler.dreamer for more footage of our dining experience. Zola Bistro in Bucharest is one of those places that instantly makes you want to stay longer. The floral decor is beautiful without feeling overdone. The space feels cozy and stylish at the same time. I went there for lunch with a friend, and it was exactly the kind of place you want for a slow, easy conversation over good food. The menu has a nice variety. Everything we tried was fresh and well-prepared. I ordered a matcha latte that came with a tiny bear-shaped foam on top, which was a fun touch. We also loved the comfortable seating. The swing chairs gave the place a playful vibe without feeling gimmicky. Service was friendly and fairly quick, even though the place was busy. Prices are on the higher end for Bucharest but fair for the quality and atmosphere. If you’re into places that balance aesthetics with solid food and a relaxed feel, Zola is worth checking out.“
