Loved all of it. Delicious food, satisfying portions, reasonable prices, great service. Highly recommend. :)“

“This food is hands-down, some of the Best Italian food in the metro Detroit region. I had to write this review directly after eating this food because it was so good. It’s a little bit on the pricey side, but believe me you get what you pay for. I ordered the shrimp scampi, and it had a lot of shrimp on it. I was completely stuffed by the end of my meal.“

“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.“

“A1 food quality and service !!“

“Our family received one of their gift baskets today. It was packed full of great, high-quality items (pasta, meat, cheese, sauce, etc.) - by far one of the most heart warming gifts you can give. We will definitely be gifting some of their baskets to our closest friends in the future!“

“Amazing business, food and staff! We had the luncheon celebration here after our son’s christening.
They helped to make the special day with our family stress free! The service was
tremendous, and the food was absolutely amazing! Thank you ?“

“Food was really good.The service great. The one problem is the prices. It’s too high for seniors. I understand prices for everything is up. If prices were to be lowered you would have more patrons. I remember standing in line to get a seat. Most people in the area are either elderly,renters, or just getting by.“

“I ordered via Grubhub and got the Saganaki and a kebab combo with Cabbage soup. The Saganaki and the soup were so yummy. I haven’t got to the kebabs yet but the look amazing. Just so good. I’ll be ordering again.“

“Food and service was spectacular. We have visited several Andiamo and I strongly believe this is the best beach out of all. Since the menu and dishes are identical so what makes the difference is service.
Moreover, correctly preparation in the kitchen based on customers needs and presentation of the dishes make a difference here.
In general, we love Andiamo due to wide range of choices, various items, their flexibility to chain the the dish. Andiamo also super good at allergy restrictions and other request such as non alcoholic cocktails and others.
We have tried their appetizer, soup, salad and Salmon. Everyone was great especially the driver was kind and made us feel comfortable.

“One of my favourite places to eat!“

“Excellent , excellent service and food! We had a last minute school charity event for 40 people. The staff at Buscemis quickly made a beautiful 6 foot sub and a party size pizza that they even offered to cut into smaller pieces to feed my party. It was nothing but fresh and great quality food for a reasonable cost. I will definitely be ordering from them again. It was a hit at my party.“

“Ferlito's is my absolute favorite Italian Restaurant. Great service, Great food, Great atmosphere. On this visit, I had Lasagna (best I've ever had). My wife and son shared the Chicken Piccata (who are we kidding, he ate the entire dish). The quality and flavor of the food was excellent as usual. Andrew, our server was very knowledgeable and attentive. The ambiance is that of a small, romantic Italian Bistro. I couldn't recommend this restaurant enough.“

“Davinci's Pizza - A family review.

(Our quest to find the best pizza in Windsor)

Review #12 (See Amloze for review #11)

$37 for 24 slices and a 2L bottle of pop.

Davinci's Pizza is located on Ottawa street right next to the Rockhead bar. It's a small place and is really hard to find. It was night time, but the lights out front are either burnt out or off. This is why no front of the store picture was provided like my previous reviews. It is dine in only. Parking may be tricky on a busy day.

Daughter - 7 - Thumbs up!

Son 17 - Harsh critic

Pre taste - 10/10!
Cheese - 7
Sauce - 9
Crust - Rarely eats it 10!
Overall - 8.5

Wife - Relaxed critic

Pre taste - 9
Cheese - 8
Sauce - 8
Crust - 8
Overall - 8

Dad - Neutral Critic

Pre taste - 9 - The family agreed, this pizza looked really good.

Cheese - 7 - The cheese is difficult to taste at times due to overwhelming sauce flavors.

Sauce - 9 - The sauce is really good. Unfortunately, it takes away from the overall quality of the pizza in my opinion.

Crust - 8 - Solid crust. We enjoyed it. Especially my son who rarely eats it.

Overall - 8 - Davinci's Pizza is a solid 8. If you enjoy a pizza with good sauce, a little spice (pepperonis were a bit spicey), and a quick family spot, Davinci's is for you. It's not going to be the best tasting pizza choice, but if you're in a hurry and want an affordable pizza, Davinci's is a really great option. The pizza was ready in under 20 minutes on a Saturday night! I would definitely recommend Davinci's to anyone who has never tried it before.

Overall family score - 81.6%!!“

“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.“

“First time at Milestone Grill with my sister, and i recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants excellent delicious food!! As we both had the Spinach Artichoke Dip for appetizer then ordered the fantastic Grilled Chicken Salad, and the scrumptious French Onion Soup! We both will definitely go back to enjoy more of the many items on their large menu! Service was fast and very courteous! One of our new favorite restaurants! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Nick's has been great since they opened. the waitstaff is great...especially Emily and Liz and Ann. great breakfast and anything I have ever had has been great..their soups are fabulous. I did hear new owners now...but if they have the same staff..I have no doubt things will b great as always.“

“Had a gyro and Greek salad for lunch today, it was delicious!! Best gyro I’ve had in a while! Will be back!“

“EDITED Nove 14th 2024
EXCELLENT CUSTOMER FROM BEGINNING TILL END.
My waitress refilled my drinks before asking before I could ask for refilling soup I had it I had bred before I needed it she bought me carry-outs without me asking a bag and my drink to go. She remember what I told her when I sat down. I told her for sure I wanted two soup, extra breadsticks, and I wanted a refill to go.
5 star on EVERYTHING
A personality was very pleasant and inviting.

EDITED DEC 17, 2023
I I ordered the same soup again only this time it was much better customer service it took about 15 minutes to get but they were crowded. This particular visit was a 8 out of 10.

So I went to the Olive Garden actually a few days ago.
Walked into carryout and I wanted the soup with the kale and potatoes and sausage I can't think of the name. It's my favorite soup and every time I go to this Olive Garden it's always perfect it's a favorite of mine.

I stood there while people scurried around never even acknowledged me with the hello and I'll be right with you for about 2-3 min.
After 3 minutes I asked a young black man who was a server, Is this where I stand to get carryout. My reasoning for asking was because sometimes you order at the bar. I was standing by a sign that said something like carry out pick up. And I could have been mistakenly in a spot that was strictly picking up carryout and not placing orders Therefore I asked to be sure.

He looked at me and pointed up at the sign and said that's what the sign say.

I immediately CHECKED him and told him that that was a UNPROFESSIONAL answer and I said I was asking because nobody over here has acknowledged me and I was making sure. Then he just stood there look stupid and a manger perhaps, a white woman said I apologize how can I help you.

The whole experience was a complete turn off. I understand things are extremely busy but simply acknowledging your customer and letting them know I'll be with you shortly my apologies for the wait can go a long way with customer service.

Having your staff speak to you with a smart flipping mouth can get them cussed out almost immediately and then both of us is in the wrong. However I didn't get vulger but yes I had a attitude.

Another disappointment was I got home only to find that my soup was mostly broth and itty bitty bits of potatoes barely any sausage and a little bit of kale it was like they scraped the bottom of the pan.
I paid for the broth. I'm still PISSED about it.
I was tired I didn't have the energy to go back and I just said forget it. Cause one, I didn't feel argument with the staff and I knew they wouldn't replace my soup they were probably tell me I ate it.

I would have did this review the day that it happened but again I was tired.
I had worked, wasn't feeling good and I've always gotten excellent service and soup from them so I thought I would end my night having some delicious soup and that didn't happen.
So I'm leaving my review today.

To to management readiness teacher staff to watch their mouth and always stay professional and teach the rest of your staff to acknowledge anyone that comes and stand up in front of them even if it's to tell them just to wait a minute.
It's rude to not acknowledge anyone while they're standing there staring at you in the face.

Lastly if you guys are out of soup just say that. I would of got something else. Always imagine would you serve it to yourself.

Hopefully my next visit will be different and I can give a updated review.

“I ordered A king sized thin crust meat lovers with Mushrooms & Green Peppers last night. I can honestly say that was the absolute Best Pizza I have ever had. I will Always be ordering from there again. Thank-You ROSA'S“

“I order about once a month. NOT single complaint. Sometimes i get delivery.. online you CANT order cherry pepsi 2ltr so i ask in the notes and they always come through. I pretip $8 So i bet that helps them rememeber to check the notes.
Sometimes i pick up. Today. Lady ahead of me was an old nun with a fairly good size order and they offered to take the order to her car.
Im pretty picky orderer too. Light sauce half this and half that turbo and sesame crust..
Always spot on..“
