50 Best Italian Restaurants near Melvindale

“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 👌“

“just the vibe the food is the icing on the cake“

“I hadn't been here in a few years but wanted some great pizza for my birthday and of course Mootz didn't disappoint! We got Beast of Burden and Bee Sting and both were delicious. The meatballs are my favorite thing on the menu. Our server, Nyla, was phenomenal - so sweet and kind and happy, and gave us great recommendations.“

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

“GRACE is an amazing server, great at suggestions she is personable and delightful. The food was everything her recommendations on food and beverages did not miss‼️“

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

“We planned on trying a few other pasta spots for Valentine’s Day, but everything was booked solid. Ended up giving the new kid on the block, Oak & Reel, a shot—and I’m glad we did. The veal-stuffed ravioli was unreal. Do yourself a favor and save room for dessert—it’s non-negotiable. And the Banana Run cocktail? Dangerously good.“

“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“

“Food was amazing and staff was incredible“

“I honestly don't know why it has taken me so long to write a review for Alpino because my husband and I love this place so much! It has become my restaurant of choice to celebrate my birthday for many reasons. I love that they keep the beautiful patio open even during the hottest of days (which is usually what it is for my July birthday), they have the best seasonal menu additions that use local ingredients, and their laid back yet elegant charm is exactly what we always look for. The food is amazing! We love unfussy food that lets the quality ingredients shine and the raclette with a touch of honey just makes me grin from ear to ear (not to mention the tomato soup that is out of this world). The Frulingzauber "spring magic" cocktail is my favorite of all time. I would drink one every day for the rest of my life if I could. Of course, none of this would matter if the people weren't wonderful at Alpino, but they are just as warm and inviting as the food. I loved that they all signed a birthday card for me when we were there last. This is definitely a gem of a place that you don't find everywhere.“

“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!“

“Amazing, 5 stars all around !“

“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.“

“GREAT RESTAURANT“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Detroit’s alive, the people talk too much, but I got business, Sibley Gardens. My rules. My favorite. Don’t test me.“

“My husband and I found this cozy spot last weekend. A sweet, friendly atmosphere where they make you feel right at home. (So much so we went back for a drink before they closed) The food was delicious, service lovely and the drinks fabulous.“

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

“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..“

“Had an amazing experience at The Chop House! The service was absolutely unreal from start to finish—friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome.
The Spicy Mango Margaritas were incredible, with the perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and refreshing flavors. The food was equally impressive—everything was cooked perfectly, full of flavor, and absolutely delicious.
A fantastic dining experience all around. I can't wait to come back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for great food, amazing drinks, and outstanding service! 🍹✨🍽“

“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.“

“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!“

“Tonight I attended a wedding at C & G and could not be more impressed, and also pissed at myself for not patronizing this welcoming restaurant sooner. I’m lactose intolerant and allergic to chicken. The staff was incredibly accommodating and gracious. This is not often a feeling I receive when bringing up food allergies. The food & drinks were so incredibly tasty and the views were unreal. The Train station, spires of St Anne’s and the Ambassador Bridge all in one shot. Turn to the left and you have the beautifully landscaped Roosevelt park to stroll through after enjoying the back porch. I’m so blown away, and so happy my friend finally got me here! Thank you for a dreamy night.“

“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!“

“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!“

“We loved everything about our visit! The food, the service, the ambiance!“

“New menu was amazing. We had the potatoes, the scallops, burrata, and mushroom with shiitake dish. Burrata was hands down my favorite, thing. Perfect combination!! Highly recommend everything I got and the service was perfect, I mean like I finished my water and by the time my glass hit the table it was refilled. This was actually my second time, I’ve been before for a friends birthday and we had a different menu…..the pomegranate ribs were mouthwatering delicious. Not to mention the atmosphere inside, I personally love plants and that’s the first thing you notice when you walk in the door. Check it out for yourself, you won’t be disappointed!!“

“Went there tonight and waitress Addison acted like it was killing her to wait on Us. No salt and pepper no cheese for pasta so sorry I left a tip. Place was dead and food is Great but $24.95 for pasta high. Plus $6.00 for loaf of bread is BULL.. I brought friends there won't come back prices are to high. And the lady that seated Us blonde was not personal either. /“

“The girl at the register is very nice and pleasant on the phone. The pizza was fantastic but the menu online needs to be updated. Every pizza on the list increased 35-45% in price which equates to $6-7 extra per pizza. The large cheese pizza is $19 not $13 the pepperoni is $22 not $15.“

“Best pizza ever, crunchy, juicy and tasty“

“Excelente !!!!! Para una buena estadía y tomarte algo refrescante“

“The best pizza I've ever eaten, been eating it since the building was in the Plaza 35 years ago. Love Baldos“

“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!“

“I love ❤️ it the first time!“

“Had bridal dinner for my friend,May 20/22. Excellent food and service. I can’t thank enough . Staff so friendly the dinner experience was A+. The manager Mateo you doing awesome job !! And everyone who served us that day, THANK YOU!! It was part of 13people.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

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

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

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

“Great subs serving Redford area!!!“

“Delicious Italian food!!!“

“Tried Paul’s for the first time today; we wanted to try everything so we ordered pizza ribs fish and bbq wings. Everything was delicious!! We will be ordering again!“
