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“

“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.“

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

“Cute Italian market with prepared foods and made to order subs, pizzas and more! The sub was a true authentic Italian sub. I also added a Bosco stick too which was equally delicious. I’d definitely return again…very charming decor as well.“

“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.“

“I love when I can find a pizza place with gluten free crust that doesn't make me sick. The staff was accommodating to my allergy, however at times our party felt neglected by our server, and it was hard to locate her, or grab her attention when our table needed refills. The wait for our food to come out was longer than anticipated as well.“

“Our experience this evening was exceptional in so many ways. Our server Jamie was efficient, well prepared, knowledgeable about the restaurant and the menu, kind, and attentive. Jamie made frequent stops to see how our meals were and if we needed anything. In my personal opinion Jamie is extremely good at what she does and we made it a point to let her know this. Thank you for a great night out for dinner experience, we will certainly be back.

Kid-friendliness: Jamie was exceptional with my children in the way she spoke and made them feel comfortable. My children are very shy and she was able to get them to speak and participate in the ordering process. The Happy birthday song and dessert presentation when giving her options was top notch. We observed the way she served other tables and were very impressed on her timing, politeness, and professionalism. Tip was well deserved and earned.“

“Thank you John for once again exceeding our expectations this afternoon. You accommodated our large group with such efficiency and ease. The food was delicious and the service amazing. All this in a quaint and cozy atmosphere“

“Best prime rib and service ! Always treated special and by name.“

“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!“

“I have not been here in over 10 years and it did not disappoint when I revisited. Amazing meal topped with excellent service. Carlos Jr. was on top of everything and made the overall experience amazing for the 8 of us dining. Will highly recommend when dining out for a date night in Windsor. Check out the video & photos, the meal speaks for itself. Will be back for sure.“

“We celebrated our sons wedding with a luncheon. I recommend this beautiful restaurant. The food is fresh and terrific, the staff are so helpful and friendly. Kudos to the the chef and owner. We will be back in a heattbeat!!“

“We recently had our staff Christmas Party for the first time at Avanti on Friday night and the staff cannot stop raving about the food- the atmosphere and the drinks. We had an amazing time, and Dan truly out did himself. The staff was attentive in making sure everyone had what they needed, and all the dietary restrictions we had were over the moon with what Dan had offered. The perfect setting for an intimate party. Thank again for a great night- we will definitely be back.“

“Ate here before going to a show at the Casino. John was our friendly greeter. Our server Mary Jane gave attentive service. Kim the owner/chef made us an amazing meal. Best Bruschetta ever. Our meals - Famous Chicken, Veal Marsala, Steak and Onion Soup were delicious, good portions and reasonably priced. Tiramisu finished off our meal nicely. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend this little gem in downtown Windsor.“

“Visited Bacchus Ristorante for the first time tonight with my partner and some friends who had been there before and urged us to go. Everyone in my party tried different things -- and we all thoroughly enjoyed what we tried. Personally I had the lemon chicken and rice soup, chicken piccata, and ice cream with berry compote. Loved all of it. Delicious food, satisfying portions, reasonable prices, great service. Highly recommend. :)“

“Tried Nonna’s today for the first time and the chicken parmigiana was excellent!!! I will definitely be back.“

“Looking forward to the next menu!“

“best home made food in town ;)“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

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

“We celebrated our daughter’s birthday with a fabulous dinner and dessert. Our server Ashley was great! Her recommendations were excellent. We started with sheep’s milk ricotta and hot honey and tuna crudo. Our entrees were tortellini di zucchini, squid ink fettuccine and swordfish vesuvio. The Sicilian pistachio cake with olive oil gelato was a perfect ending to an amazing meal. Our daughter travels for business and has eaten at top restaurants around the country. She said she would put this in her top five!“

“Food was great, and server Loretta was very good too!“

“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.“

“A1 food quality and service !!“

“Best pizza I've had in the Midwest. Delicious salads, warm olives, absolutely wonderful. Plus great customer service! My husband from NY, who loves New York style pizza was very pleased. Not quite NY Pizza Depot (for him) but terrific.

Vegetarian options: Delicious, unique salad and pizza options. Best white pizza I've tasted and we are a big pizza eating family.“

“Great food! Great service“

“The food and service were great. Very cool place“

“Delicious food and exceptional service!“

“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 ?“

“Great people Great selection The homemade pasta is perfect !“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“Pizza deep dish pan style“

“To start, they were busy but it didn’t feel like it. Our server Deshawn was attentive without hovering, very friendly, and made the dinner that much better. The food was amazing. We had chicken parm, a “build your own pasta,” and BBQ chicken pizza, enough for dinner tonight and lunch tomorrow! The bread is a great balance of a firm crust and soft inside, and the salads were colorful and tasty (best house dressing this side of Buddy’s) We didn’t try any of the bar drinks or appetizers… maybe next time.
I was very impressed with the busser/bar back who never stopped moving whether he was cleaning or running food.

Parking: Parking is tight as the lot is small but there’s street parking and the lot is free of potholes“

“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.

Vegetarian options: Yes ask your server

Dietary restrictions: Super reasonable just ask your server

Parking: Free in store front

Kid-friendliness: Yes but wide to avoid pick hours

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes huge entry door and spacious floor“

“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.“
