50 Best Italian Restaurants near Grosse Pointe Woods

“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“

“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.“

“Very good pizza but has gotten outrageously expensive recently, so we've unfortunately been ordering elsewhere. Trying to order from the automated phone line is aggravating, time-consuming, and inconsistent; they can never get the order right.“

“We came at 11pm on a busy Saturday night and we were seated almost immediately. It was a little loud but to be expected on late night weekend. For drinks I ordered the Friend of A Friend, 10/10 for sure. We ordered the garlic knots and got the grandma, pesto, and meatzza pizzas. The Pesto was definitely the star of the evening. Our server Paige was awesome and made us feel right at home. Would gladly come again.“

“Had a great time at East Side Mario’s. Wonderful atmosphere and food was excellent. Welcoming for everyone and a special place to spend time. I loved it here. My waitress Melissa was amazing and always on top of refilling water, bread, salad. Would definitely recommend to friends.“

“Ordered pizza for pickup while staying across the street at Holiday Inn Express. Although the toppings were plentiful and delicious, the crust was undercooked & a little doughy! Plus, it was on a sheet of parchment/wax paper that was completely stuck to the crust & impossible to peel off! Unfortunately, these 2 details turned what should have been an enjoyable night into a messy and frustrating experience!“

“Went to Ciao last night for a birthday/Valentines Day dinner. They had a set menu for the night. Every single thing we ate was beyond delicious!! The plates were so pretty to look at and even better to taste. So much love went into each plate! The Gorgonzola gnocchi melted in your mouth. The meat (on the short ribs) fell right off the bone…don’t even get me started on the cheesecake and chocolate creme brûlée!!! 😍 Mia, our server went above and made the night so much better. Definitely worth every penny!!“

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.“

“Always delicious food and great service. The frozen ravioli is always a hit and makes for a quick easy dinner on a busy night.“

“best home made food in town ;)“

“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.“

“Hard to find much to fault them with, but hard to find anything spectacular. This is a date night restaurant with that Grosse pointe ambiance that have you forgive solid but very traditional food. I wouldn’t travel far for it, but then again if I wanted a safe place Niniis it.“

“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.“

“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.

“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.
