50 Best Italian Restaurants near Dearborn Heights

“We celebrated my brother in law's 90th birthday yesterday with a celebration at Cariera's. In addition to the excellent food...a charcuterie board with a selection of cheeses and fresh fruit, salad, lasagna and chicken marsala, the service was wonderful and the ambiance and music felt like we were somewhere in Tuscany!
Thank you, Mary for helping us plan our party. We'll be back for dinner!“

“We always have a good time at this Antonio's Although we have a newer and close location in Canton, MI we choose to go to the Dearborn Heights location. We went for Valentine's Day and after a brief wait at the bar we were seated. Our wait was about 20 minutes.“

“Honest, this place is awesome. You gotta try the Michigan Cherry sausage. It's the best. Holiday flavor is great also. The owners are great. Very friendly and helpful. Would totally recommend“

“I went to jets pizza for dinner on Christmas Eve 2024 and Conner, was absolutely amazing. He made the BEST pizza and wings you could ask for. I asked him to surprise me with the wings and he made the BEST Bbq, buffalo, and garlic wings ever. They were AAAAAMAZINGLY DELICIOUS! Conner and the rest of the crew were so nice, kind and caring, very polite and well mannered. The food was freaking delicious!!! Thanks for the yummy experience Conner. I’m now craving the “Conners wing concoction” Can’t wait to visit again!!!!

Parking: Plenty of parking space

Kid-friendliness: It’s pizza, what kid doesn’t love pizza!“

“Super fresh subs and veggie tray. Gonella's trays were a hit for our party!“

“The steak focaccia sandwich was AMAZING!!!!! HIGH RECOMMENDED!!!!“

“Drove 3 hours to try Fredi's and let me tell you, we will do it again. Very much worth the hype.

My husband follows Dave Portnoy who claims Fredi has the best pizza in Detroit so of course we had to validate this! We ordered The Don, Fredo, and Santino - no complaints. The Fredo was my favorite though.

The table all agreed on a 5 star rating 👌“

“Amazing food!!! We had the risotto and it was creamy and perfect! Recommend 10 out of 10!!!!“

“My son, who's moving to SanDiego, treated me there. He's been several times. Ambience, service, dinner and dessert were all excellent. Coffee was pretty darn good too. Can't go wrong!“

“OUTSTANDING!! Every bite, packed with flavor. The best lobster ravioli I've ever had and the scallops, OMG.
The oyster Rockefeller's, was so so. Still good but should've ordered the calamari.
Love this place. Better the make a reservation.“

“Tonight we dined here for the first time , we had the most amazing night ! Great food met with the upmost amazing service by Andre and Chris both have amazing personalities that made the night personable and just over all wonderful, pasta was fresh and everything was just amazing. can’t wait to go back! 10/10 !“

“Tried multiple appetizers and desserts, and the main course was excellent! The host and waitress were both outstanding, super friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is so welcoming, and you can truly taste the love in the cooking. Everything felt homemade and full of love. Highly recommend this Dearborn gem for authentic Italian food!“

“what a wonderful experience we had at Cafe Cortina! from the complimentary valet, to the matre'd and all of the staff. The food was excellent, the ambiance perfect, and our guardian angel, Besnik, provided excellent suggestions all throughout the night! He never rushed us, and never hovered, he was just magically there whenever we needed anything. It was a perfect dinning expirence and we are grateful for it!“

“Attended the June Bourbon Dinner and it was amazing. Tonight features Uncle Nearest which is one of my favorites. I think I’m partial to this location because I love the staff. Friendly and attentive. If you haven’t done one of the Wine Dinners I would encourage you to do so.“

“This place was quite delicious. I would recommend getting a 10:00 to 2 as opposed to the five to one like I did. That was all my fault! At least a 10/2 to would have had a better bread to meet ratio. Just my opinion! Lol. It was really good. But it definitely needed more meat and cheese than less! Close to the airport. They do take card or cash. Does have a parking lot. And a fun little police car out front!“

“My wife and I finally stopped in last Wednesday after wanting to try it for years but never being in the area during their open hours (Tuesday through Saturday 4-9). We were not disappointed. I had the Chicken Gregorio which was fantastic as was the stuffed pepper soup. My wife had the Chicken Parmigiana which she loved and the Ham and Potato soup which she said was delicious. The bread and oil was great as well. We enjoyed watching the train circling above. All staff were friendly and helpful. A great experience.“

“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!“

“Wonderful atmosphere and AMAZING food!! The Strawberry Tiramisu was beyond wonderful. We will definitely be back!“

“​Another visit to Luigi’s on Plymouth Rd and another great night out with the girls! We came specifically for the awesome outdoor patio—it’s the perfect place to get away from the city vibe for a bit.
​Food was outstanding as always (and I rarely give out 5 stars for food!). Service was a little slow tonight, but our server appeared to be new and was handling a tough table next to us, so we totally got it.
​Overall, a solid experience and a top-tier local spot in Livonia. Highly recommend!“

“we've ate here forever WHAT HAPPENED?!?!?!?! THE SAUSAGE IS NOT THE SAME. :( PURCHASED TODAY 530 PM THIS SAUSAGE IS NASTY. GARBAGE WHAT IS GOING ON !!!!“

“Food is always. delicious I have never had bad service if it’s a party of four or it’s a party of 20 but they’re all credible people there. Mexican vote tomorrow load up. Certainly worth drive.“

“I had to prepare some food for a potluck, but I had a pretty full schedule. I called Liberati's and they were able to accommodate me on about 36 hours notice with 3 of their 3' party subs. They were on time and ready when I arrived and Frank himself helped to load them into my car. I wasn't ready for what came next: texts, mail, and messages all saying thank you for a great contribution and half of them asking me where to get them. You clearly can't go wrong with LIberati's.“

“First time here and will definitely return! Great meal!“

“We went there for mother's day. They where very busy. We had rsvp. We got sat on time. Our server was very busy many tables and possibly a issue at one of them. We waited for a bit before our orders were taken. But the server was very professional. To took very great care of us. Was very apologizing for our wait. He may our visit well worth it. I can say my family of 6 was very happy with all the foods we were given. We will definitely go back!“

“Antonio’s in Livonia was absolutely outstanding! The food was fresh, flavorful, and hands down one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in a long time. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and the service was top notch.

A huge thank you to our waitress Michelle for being so attentive, friendly, and professional throughout the entire meal. She made sure everything was perfect and truly went above and beyond. Also, a special shoutout to Maria, the busser, who worked incredibly hard and kept everything spotless while always checking in with a smile.

It’s rare to find a restaurant where the food and service are both this exceptional. Antonio’s definitely earned a repeat customer. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great meal and amazing staff!“

“Angelo Brothers is my new favorite Italian restaurant! My coworker has told me I need to check it out for months now. In the last 8 days I have frequented Angelo Brothers Six separate times. Over these visits, I quickly grew quite fond of Angelo Brothers, the Family/owners, & the staff! I brought almost Twenty different individuals along with me over the six separate visits. Amazing food, Friendly service, and More! The first photo was my own creation, alfredo pasta, with shrimp, mushrooms, along with baked cheese on top!? The second photo is their AmAzInG Prime Rib of Beef Au Jus- it is Fantastic ? I had it Three times in a row? The third photo was their Savory/Delicious, special in family recipe stuffed Cannoli!? The last photo is their Delicious Eggplant Parm, that i added my own personal flare to with their Amazing Alfredo sauce, instead of marinara sauce.?? Definitely check out Angelo Brothers! I wish it hadn’t taken me Thirty Five years to be introduced to Angelo Brothers!“

“I’m kind of new to the neighborhood and I was looking for a different pizza place. Delivery was fast and pizza was excellent. I would recommend them. I’m willing to try them again.“

“My favorite sub place by far. I look forward to their monthly subs every month. And the staff is the best around ❤️“

“The ready to use lasagna sheets are so much better than boxed noodles. Easy to use and such a time saver.“

“My first time & the pizza was Great!!“

“Hadn't been to O.G in a while but the food was good. Chicken alfredo add shrimp and mushrooms and the new honey chicken bites. My order was ready at the time stated. My only critique is the chicken bites had more crumbs than chicken, and add a Cajun version of the alfredo because some people like spice lol otherwise I was satisfied with my order“

“12/10 my one, and only Detroit Pizza experience.“

“I have visited salute taverna several times, and every time it’s a wonderful experience. Great food, friendly service, and they even have live music. I highly recommend it!“

“Great subs serving Redford area!!!“

“Love the Ravioli and wing dings. I wish they would open at 1pm instead of 4pm. I do not like to eat after 6pm. And the type of food they serve I would like to get around noon. Usually I get hungry and end up going elsewhere like Valentino's.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This BLT was amazing and the ladies working today were great!“

“Delicious Italian food!!!“

“Everything at this Olive Garden was delicious and well presented it. Just got weird when we asked for more bread and the white girl with henna on her hands brought us one breadstick. One. Our second basket for a party of three came down the line with one stick.“

“What a great spot! A hidden gem. The food is so good, I can’t enough. Good wine selection. The service is great. The atmosphere is very quaint and warm. I have introduced many of my friends to this place and they continue to go back. This is hands down one of my top 3 favorite places in Michigan. I highly recommend it!“

“Everyone in our party loved the pizza - including the crust! Prosciutto was our favorite and garlic knots are so yummy!“

“I had an initial bad experience and I've avoided them for about 3 months. La bellacino's really is the only piece I like besides Jets and Dominoes and sometimes Hungry Howie's. So with that being said I just told myself ask for extra sauce, and just like the Michigan Avenue and Ford Road locations The was 🍕 BUSSIN!!! 🍕 SO MUCH I HAD TO TAKE A 🍕 IMMEDIATELY“

“Best gluten free pizza 🍕 hands down!“

“I ordered cupcakes and a cake for my wedding reception. It was delicious!! The raspberry cream filling in the cake was to die for and everyone likes the cupcakes. They made my wedding cake how I envisioned it and couldn’t be happier!!“

“We usually alternate between different pizza places because we don’t have a favorite…. But we have discovered that Jets has the breadsticks where you can put pizza toppings on it.
I have small children…. For those of you who do not realize, breadsticks with pizza toppings is sauceless pizza. As in no red pizza sauce, dribble everywhere and on clothes!
Only adults and those who are worthy get the dipping sauces, so we finally have found a food that children like and parents do not mind cleaning up after. Win-win!“

“Your pizza is the BEST!! The steak sub was perfect!!!“

“top notch food broasted whole wings and delicious and the pizza is awesome I definitely recommend 7 Star Pizza“

“This place is pretty good they got good food good people pretty fast too. Just a good restaurant to eat at. The waitresses are very nice and the cooks are amazing. Not really a bad thing to say about this place I've been going here for years. I like the food there is a mix between Greek and American. “

“Great food! Quick and friendly service with portions big enough to feed two! Guy added chicken on top on the house too“

“Always excellent and on time!!“
