“Very fancy and expensive restaurant. One of the few restaurants in metro Detroit (and likely the whole of Michigan) that serves Baked Alaska. They do not flame it in front of you nor does it come with sparklers like some restaurants may do. Still it was delicious. Jamie was a great waitress, friendly and in a good mood. There is no parking lot for Forrest, however after 5:30 pm and on weekends you can use the AAA Birmingham parking lot which is right next door. Very nice interior. The water glasses are small. There is a candle at the table.“

“Our favorite restaurant when we come to Royal Oak! Great food without breaking the bank for a date night.“

“I just grabbed lunch here (to go) and it was amazing. I had the house coconut avocado smoothie while I waited for my food - so good. I got a spinach, mozzarella and Italian sausage cascione (grilled and stuffed flatbread…the dough is also homemade) that was delicious. I also got the grilled cheese and ham (don’t judge me! 😂) the cheese was a Gruyère with black truffles and the ham was from Dearborn. Also tasty. I would definitely go again.“

“Our dinner was amazing! We got there kind of late and Marija still gave us amazing service. We appreciate it & will be back!“

“I stopped by the Olive Garden in Rochester Hills recently, and honestly, it felt like stepping back in time. The place looks old … not in a charming way, but more like it hasn’t been updated in years. There’s definitely a sentimental side to it, especially for someone who used to love Olive Garden, but that feeling can only carry so far.

The chain’s overall quality seems to be slipping. From the service to the food, everything felt just… average. It wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t great either. You can still count on the breadsticks and salad to do their job, but beyond that, the dishes don’t have the flavor or consistency they used to.

It’s a 3-star experience for me , mostly for the memories, not the meal.“

“Our family , 3 adults, one toddler and one 4 month old, had a delicious and delightful meal on Saturday evening , Even though we arrived 10 minutes to 9 pm( kitchen closes at 9), we were graciously seated by the hostess. The server came over immediately and brought us 2 highchairs. We started our feast with ɓreadsticks and didn't have to wait long for our meals. Everything was perfect.Thanķ you for a lovely evening out! We wiĺl return soon for more of your hospitality!“

“If you’re looking for high quality, authentic tasting wood-fired pizza and don’t want to spend an arm and leg, then you have to come here! Whether you want a nice sit down dinner experience or just a quick take out order, Crispelli’s has you covered.“

“Nice family-owned place. Great food, great service. I was there with a group of 6 and we took our time after dinner. Never once did we feel like we were being hurried out.

Vegetarian options: Pizza, cheese ravioli, pasta dishes“

“As an Italian, I approve! Everything was spectacular.“

“Bravo for lunch is the best. They have decent portions and the price is reasonable. The wait staff is very friendly and efficient. Just a nice place to eat overall at The Village of Rochester Hills“

“Love the inside. It's clean and like a step back in time. I love the great staff. I really love the PIZZA! I'd go more often but it's a pleasant stop after a drive to get my haircut. It's a true, real gem.“

“Once a month, or more like once a week, lately…we love Luigi’s!“

“LOVE the tiramisu martini!!!! the best!!!“

“Great waitress Candy and food was delicious. I had the Olivia's Chicken, friend had Mr. Aldo's Bolognese, other friend had Filet Mignon and my husband had shrimp and pasta all were cooked to perfection. We had dessert and shared. Candy was friendly and professional. We all enjoyed the night.“

“Amazing food! Cool owner who is proud of his food …. And should be!! Best Italian around!“

“great restaurant, lovely accomodations“

“The pizza is the best! The round pizza is more of a New York style that has a crust that has a nice chew and those yummy cheesy bubbles that occur from baking. Service is always a plus. A hardworking and friendly staff. The atmosphere is that of your quaint neighborhood sports bar that's always been around. It's cramped but not uncomfortable. Cozy if anything.“

“This place is a hidden gem.
I literally drove past this restaurant for years, never knowing that it was a fine homemade Italian cuisine.
My favorite out of all Italian restaurants is the chicken marsala. This is not found on Antonio‘s menu, but they served it to me and it was tasty fresh and delicious.
My daughter had the lasagna and the sauce was so tasty and so wonderful that I had to order it for myself.
Everything was tasty we had the shrimp we had Shallots we had the orange roughy everything was made to perfection
The bread was so delicious so hot so good. Everything is on point. Perfect. They also gave you butter and olive oil with seasons in it.“

“I recommend going to see Stephanie. She was more than attentive we were never in need for anything! She gives a new meaning to service with a smile. My wife and I have been back many times just for her good cheer she seems to pass on to all around her! 5 stars for Stephanie and Como’s for having such a great staff!“

“I had the Chicken Athena tonight. Outstanding! Fresh ingredients including fresh olives, and chicken. You could pay 2-3 times more at other restaurants, and not nearly as good as Christine's. This place is a real find!“

“It’s delicious! Service is always wonderful!“

“We are in town and chose Papa Romano’s for dinner. We had pizza delivered to our hotel and it was amazing. They said 45 minutes and we had it in less than 30. Pizza, breadsticks and salad all very good and their ranch is one of the best I’ve ever had!“

“Great server great good. Love this place“

“I order a pizza a week from Zino's and have been coming here for 8 years, so--yep--over 400 pizzas! And not a bad slice among them! Seriously good pizza made just the way you like it with great crust and generous toppings. Friendly owner and staff, as well. Highly recommended!“

“The best ever we can’t wait to come home to get JETS because they’re not in Tallahassee, Yummy Good!“

“Was just there most likely for my 20th time in the last 3 years, I don't work to far from Jimmy's and since my first time going there I have always and will continue to return to them. From traditional Coney's to fresh n juicy burgers, chicken lemon soup or even the Salads have all been amazing. I know they use fresh ingredients whenever possible just from the fact every salad I have ever had from Jimmy's, I have yet to find a bad lettuce leaf and every time I can tell they wash the lettuce fresh as it still has slight water residue which I do not mind in the least. Keep it up Jimmy's you got this guy loyal to y'all!“

“Food was a 10/10 and the people were super cool, looked out when I was a little short on cash“

“I eat a lot of pizza. I eat a lot of pizza from everywhere any where. Ive tried every pizza in Detroit, and have had a lot of pizza in the burbs. Living in the city for a decade, for rounds, Supinos was always my default option. They make an excellent pie. Some come close, but lack that quality and attention to detail. I moved out of the city to F-Dale... drove by this spot and gave it shot... Yall, this pizza absolutely slaps. Ive showed every friend in the city this spot including restaurant owners, food critics, and industry people and they all unanimously agree, Roccos is a juggernaut of a pizza. We're lucky to have access to round pizza of this calibre. Im going to come clean and go as far as saying, Roccos is the best round in both Detroit and the burbs. Im really not exaggerating. You guys have to try this out. Get a Large round pepperoni or large cheese, youll be pleasantly surprised to have found your new favorite pizza.“

“the best pizza around and their cauliflower crust pizza is amazing You will not even need any toppings I recommend it They're covid compliant 😷😷😷“
