50 Best Italian Restaurants near Eastpointe

“The chicken piccante is the absolute best!!! Amazing food, as always!“

“Stopped in for dinner & was pleasantly surprised. Great Atmosphere, lovely service & simple Italian ingredients executed beautifully.

From the second the bread basket hot the table to the lovely waitress who bagged up the food we couldn’t possibly eat any more of, we had a great experience.

Nice drink selections, fresh ingredients &
outstanding service.

We will definitely be back for more bread, maybe some calamari & I would love to try your take on a Caesar salad. I will leave room for some dessert next time as well.“

“I just ordered and consumed a steak & cheese sub and I have to say it was DELICIOUS! I highly recommend it. Thank you“

“Went there and Jason was very respectful and very loving to the customers food was cooked to perfection right in front of me from Jason for me the food is a 12/10 for me would recommend for everyone to try every time you go there Tell Jason Maurianno sent you there Best food i had in years.“

“Me and my family came here today and had Lex as our waitress, she was wonderful! When something got sent out wrong, she handled it with a smile on her face and was so polite the food was great and I highly recommend coming for your next dine out!“

“I’m new to the area and ordered pizza and breadsticks from here a couple weeks ago..it was delicious.. Today, I found myself too lazy to cook for myself again and again I put my trust into passport pizza. I was not disappointed. This time I tried the bone in wings. Boy oh boy, when I tell you they were the best carry out wings I have ever had.. I mean it..I was unsure about the mango habanero sauce so it was suggested when I ordered that I get them with the sauce on the side. Well, I ate all of the wings and I still don’t know what the sauce tastes like. They were so good it never even crossed my mind to cover them with anything.. So, if anyone is new to the area (or not) and is unsure of where to order food from.. skip the big pizza chains you’ve been eating and try Passport Pizza in Roseville on 10 mile n Gratiot. You’ll be happy you did.“

“Having recently dined at Mad Nice, with an exceptional waitress Alaina, at an upscale Italian-inspired establishment nestled in Detroit’s vibrant Midtown at 4120 Second Ave, I find myself compelled to share an erudite reflection on what proved to be a most memorable culinary experience. This restaurant, a venture by Heirloom Hospitality Group, masterfully intertwines the rustic charm of Italian tradition with a modern, coastal California sensibility—an ambitious fusion that, on this occasion, delivered a resounding success. What truly distinguishes Mad Nice, however, is its outstanding customer service—a rarity in an era where such attention can sometimes wane. The staff, from the warm hosts to the attentive servers, exuded a genuine passion for their craft. Our waitress, Alaina, was nothing short of exceptional—her humor and knowledge enriched the evening, as she anticipated our needs with an almost preternatural finesse, ensuring that water glasses remained filled and recommendations flowed freely. My sister Alaina’s evident pride in her work elevated the meal from excellent to extraordinary, making her a standout memory of the night. In sum, Mad Nice is a culinary gem that not only meets but exceeds the lofty expectations set by its stylish veneer. The food is delicious, the choices abundant, the drinks sublime, and the service—thanks in no small part to Alaina—unparalleled. I wholeheartedly recommend it to locals and travelers alike, and I, for one, shall make it a ritual to return whenever my journeys bring me back to this dynamic city. Mad Nice is not merely a restaurant; it is a destination, a delightful paradox of “mad” ambition and “nice” execution that lingers long after the last bite.“

“Great experience. Kimberly went above and beyond. Will definitely return.“

“This is one of my favorite places to eat when I go downtown. The food is excellent and I love the atmosphere. The outdoor dining option is small, but very nice. It's on Library Street so there is not a ton of traffic. Parking in the Z Garage right around the corner is convenient and you can scan a QR code in the restaurant lobby to get your parking validated.“

“If I could give more stars, I definitely would! Everything was delicious 😋“

“Food was amazing and staff was incredible“

“It was like being in Rome or Palermo, very good!“

“it doesn't matter what you get you will enjoy your dinner 👍“

“The staff is very good. Friendly fast and accurate. The owners are Theo Deanna and Paul. They are there to help you get the most amazing dinning experience. If ever you need something to supplement your meal just let the waitress know and you will be amazed by the service.“

“The cleanest Restaurant you will ever find. Service top notch. Food is excellent and always so fresh. Soups are made daily with homemade recipes/fantastic selections.“

“TL;DR: good value, killer garlic bread, great salad & worth a stop.
Overall, you get a lot of bang for your buck here…$25 got us a large pizza, a salad, and a good sized bread with garlic sauce. I liked the pizza! Crust was solid, pepperoni was good, nothing too crazy but on the nail for what we needed. The bread and garlic sauce were my fav,no question about that. Wouldn’t say it’s my go-to Friday night spot, but I’d come back once a month or so. Solid find. Staff was friendly & quick!“

“All delicious except a for very boring side salad. House dressing was great but the iceberg lettuce had six chick peas and two pieces of tomato. Step it up Tony's!“

“I like to thank the staff at Andiamo especially Thelma who was our server.. Also, thank you Mike for stopping by to see if everything was good. Im glad that we had chosen that location to celebrate Rosalyn birthday“

“Me and my husband had been eyeing this place for a while and finally decided to try it and OMG we were NOT disappointed!!! From the beautiful lady that waited on us to the range of options we enjoyed the experience! Now the food I can’t put into words EXCEPTIONAL!!!! Thee best ramen I’ve ever had AND THE EGG ROLLS BABYYYY!!! Oh we can’t wait to get back for more!!!! 10/10!“

“Great food and drinks! the atmosphere is warm and welcoming... I had dinner last night and absolutely loved my server Jamie... What a great and fun personality he is... We'll definitely be back soon.“

“It use to be be a favorite restaurant. After the renovations it has changed. I am stating from a top notch restaurant now everything has changed. Quality, wait staff, noise level. Everything was wrong when we went there. I know they have to factor cost and profit and this is what was best. Not for us, won’t be back“

“Never a disappointment! Have been going there since they opened! ❤️❤️“

“Amazing service and delicious food! Would give 10 stars if I could.“

“The food was outstanding - that’s first. From raclette to start to trout for our shared entree and then farro pudding dessert, every bit was perfectly balanced and delicious. But the sense of community and camaraderie was even better. Cannot wait to return.“

“Something weird is going on here. Little Italy opened 2 days ago and they have 64 reviews that all pertain to BBQ Daddy. Anyhow, I got a meat lovers. It seemed a tad overbaked. Either the pepperoni or sauce were a bit too zesty for my taste. Not bad, just not for me.“

“Excellent food, great service, Loved everything about it. Definitely will be back“

“Amazing food! Best creamy Romano dressing!“

“Wow! Had one of our best meals in Sorrento tonight. Make sure to put this one on your list!“

“1st time coming here. wish I would have known about this place before now.. So glad seen it on a TikTok video. We will definitely be back again . Chicken Parm and House salad was very good . only issue we had was found out after they had a Specials Sheet and we never seen it or was told about . my wife would have definitely had the fish Special 😔.. but next time will make sure we ask I guess to make sure we see it..“

“We celebrated my birthday after a late arrival at Detroit Metro Airport on a weeknight. The hostess, our waiter, and servers were all very friendly and helpful. Everyone was wonderful, the food was fantastic, and the atmosphere was perfect. It was one of my favorite birthday celebrations. Thanks so much for always making my visits to Detroit extra!“

“Charming. An old school Italian restaurant in a charming part of Grosse Pointe Park. A family friendly restaurant without being adult unfriendly ?. I went with a classic lasagna and it tasted like I was a “made man” in the Corleone family or something. Heaven! Atmosphere was classy without being stuffy. Midweek dinner and not much of a crowd so we were seated right away. I think my favorite part was tomato sauce that was used in the lasagna.“

“I’m going to call this a hidden gem because “The Hill” is kind of a sleepy business district if I’m being honest. Cafe Nini is also on the opposite side of the street from the majority of the restaurants The Hill has to offer.

Make no mistake, this cozy little Italian restaurant is one of the better restaurants on The Hill. The wife and I went for our regular date night and were definitely not let down.

I had the fruitti di mare and the wife had fettuccini alla carbonara. Both were excellent. Can’t wait to go back and try something different.

The restaurant is super cozy and has the best atmosphere of any restaurant on The Hill that we’ve tried thus far.“

“First, let me say that if you have not been to Gnocchi Italian, you absolutely MUST GO! This place is amazing. A 10 out of 10! I've been to Italy several times, and Gnocchi Italian serves the absolute best gnocchi that I have ever tasted — even better than 80% of the restaurants in Rome. Everything is made from scratch; the gnocchi is made from ricotta, giving it an incredibly creamy and rich flavor. There are 45 varieties of gnocchi! I had the seafood gnocchi (scallops and jumbo shrimp in lobster sauce served over gnocchi). My companion ordered a breast of chicken over gnocchi smothered in alfredo sauce and topped with Muenster cheese. The proprietor, Chef Jeff, has run this place 8 years, and he is incredibly talented. Of course, they do serve other traditional Italian dishes besides gnocchi. They're all wonderful, from the spaghetti to the lasagna to the meatballs to the veal — everything is done to perfection. The portions are generous. Also, they have excellent red wines which are moderately priced. We ordered a bottle of Merlot. Finally, you will be amazed at their special house creamy garlic salad dressing, and.... the most delicious cream of wild mushroom soup I have ever tasted! If you see it on the menu you must order it, it was out-of-this-world delicious. Our thanks to Chef Jeff, for treating us to an amazing dining experience. You bet we will be back very soon!“

“This place has pizza and sandwiches that are to die for! If you get lucky and they have lasagna in the cold case, get it! It's the best I've had! Oh yeah, the pizza and hoagies are fantastic as well. I think I've tried them all now. Worth the trip.“

“I miss the city chicken on Thursday I was a crossing guard for Clintondale schools and that was our hangout on payday. Now I live in the UP. I hope to stop by the next time I come home“

“Fantastic food. Pizza was amazing as well as the chicken Parm.“

“Such a great Birthday experience! From the delicious whipped feta, filet mignon, and date cake to our AmaZing server Rasool who was efficient, engaging and entertaining and the atmosphere is simply beautiful.“

“Wife & I love the friendly atmosphere. To complement that statement, the food & drink is second to none ! We've met so many people there, it's amazing ! As mentioned previously the food is amazing, and the best way I can define / complement the bar is, Stephaine, Skylar, and John are NOT bartenders, they are cocktail ENGINEERS !!!“

“We ate here for the first time had the Fungchi and the San Gennaro fabulous best pizza we have ever had. Very light crust which brought out the true flavors that were on top of the pizza. Highly recommend if you are in Detroit and want great pizza.“

“Absolutely amazing..so much food for the price.we were full before we received the entrees.the salad is one of a kind.great atmosphere and the waitress Rebecca was so exceptional and sweet we will be back .I highly recommend this location!!!“

“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.“

“Oh MAN Rocco's is the place I have searched for in vain until last year when I tried them for the first time. Since that first meatball sub I have had almost every sandwich on the menu and so far not one has disappointed! Today I had the Corner Deli and was transported to Italian paradiso! In case you non-Italians did not know, ciabatta is the Italian baguette and Rocco's bakes many fresh loaves several times per day! Usually it is still warm from the oven even if you get a cold sandwich! There is no better sandwich bread in my progenic-Italian opinion! They are in Midtown on Cass just East of Mack. Try them if you have yet to do so. You will thank the gods!“

“If you want real authentic Italian food; subs, pasta, salads, deserts, and much more, you need to go here. "It's in there and it's very good." Christopher Okano AKA Dr. O , Bay City, Michigan.“

“Best pizza ever, crunchy, juicy and tasty“

“We went there for our 21st anniversary dinner since we got married there 21 years ago. Great server and great food. The fried calamari was light and came with the best marinara. We tried the suppli for the first time and it was great. The tableside Caesar salad was the best I've ever had. We ordered the chicken parm and gnocchi for our entrees and loved them. The chicken parm portion was huge. We will definitely go back.“

“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.“

“BEST PIZZA PLACE BAR NONE. Everything is beyond 5 stars. I was a big fan of Buddy's and also Jets.

My PIZZA PLACE is the best in Michigan. If you have not tried it, once you do, you'll continue to go back !!!!!“

“Hollywood Mediterranean Cuisine is amazing! They have delicious food, generous portions and a super friendly staff! Try it! You won’t be disappointed!!“
