“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!“

“I brought my kids to this Olive Garden location, and we had an amazing experience from start to finish. Everything—from the service to the food—was exceptional.

Our server, Selena, went above and beyond. She was pleasant, attentive, and had perfect timing when checking in on us. She made sure we had everything we needed, from extra ranch to refills and endless breadsticks, all with a warm and genuine attitude. It’s refreshing to see someone who truly enjoys their job!

The food was hot, delicious, and loaded with cheese—just the way we like it. Our drinks were always full, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“I’ve always wanted to try food from Verona Inspired Italian! I regularly check out their weekly specials on Facebook and couldn’t wait to finally try them out. This was my first visit to the restaurant, and the food was absolutely delicious and amazing. We started with the bread and butter- yes, we actually started there because it was that good. We even asked for another basket! Then came the Eggplant Tower, and wow - it was fantastic. I’m a big fan of eggplant, and this dish was perfection: crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with fresh mozzarella, tomato, and pickled onion. You really need to try it to understand how good it is. For the weekly special, we had the Emperor Red Snapper. Absolutely incredible. The Tomahawk Pork Chop and the steak were both delicious as well. Our cocktails and beer were spot-on. Service? 5 stars. Thank you Joy M. The menu has so many tempting options, and we definitely want to come back and try more. P.S. That bread? We took another portion home. So good.“

“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.“

“My wife and I went to dinner here for our anniversary and our waiter, Darren, was fantastic! The food was scrumptious and the bartender knew her stuff! All around wonderful evening. Thank you Carrabba’s for a memorable evening!“

“You guys made our entire night, me and my mom went into Aurelio Italian grill for dinner today. It was outstanding restaurant and food & love the atmosphere. It was our first time there & definitely not be the last we will keep going back!! Thank you the staff for being wonderful. The lady that greater us was so brightful and cheering and so thoughtful and passionate about your guys food.“

“Italian Margaritas were delicious, our server named Nick was great and doesn't everyone love the endless pasta dishes. We thought sure we we'd eat at least part of another one while we were there but the first plate was so filling that we asked to take them home. Someone mentioned something about not being the same size when you take them home but I put my angel hair with alfredo and Italian sausage into a large bowl the next day and I had more than enough to eat. I swear it was the same size as the night before. And amazing tasty!!“

“I have tried dang near half the menu and love it all. the cannoli is hands down the best I've ever had. Everyone I've encountered there has been nice and helpful. Highly recommend stopping in to this place!“

“Fabulous atmosphere, amazing authentic food, large portions, 5 star, extraordinary staff! Highly recommend this experience! Will definitely return! Thank ya'll for a wonderful evening 💕“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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“

“An exceptional experience from the first bite to the final espresso corto. The wood oven–grilled shrimp, calamari, and octopus were a masterclass in technique—smoky, tender, and expertly seasoned to let the natural flavors shine. The fried polenta with mushrooms added a rustic yet refined touch, rich in texture and umami depth. Every element of the meal was thoughtfully prepared, balancing simplicity with sophistication. Service was swift, professional, and seamlessly attentive. A truly memorable culinary journey—highly recommended for discerning palates.“

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

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.“

“I recently ordered from Jet's Pizza, and I have to say, it exceeded my expectations! The deep-dish pizza was perfectly cooked with my favorite crust the Turbo and Cajun crust if you haven’t gotten a flavored crust from here yet your missing out. The toppings were generous and fresh, especially the pepperoni, which had a deliciously savory flavor. The customer service at this location is top-notch friendly staff and quick delivery. Jet's Pizza is now my go-to for pizza. Highly recommend!“

“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.
