“The food is so good!! Had dinner there tonight. The salmon is cooked perfect and great combination of the sweet tomatoes and red skin potatoes. Portions are more that generous. The service is prompt and friendly.“

“No andes mints anymore? I didn't ask but it's been a long time and I thought you got little chocolate mints with your check. But we had to use an electronic kiosk to pay so maybe that's why. Anyways server called a dish by the wrong name so we sent it back but then it turns out it was the right dish all along, I asked for a new napkin cause I spilled sauce on my sweater and I never got a napkin... But otherwise I love olive garden food and our waiter was very nice! I would still eat here and recommend it 👍🏼“

“I ordered o line & there was a glitch where my card was charged, but the order didn’t go thru on Buddy’s end. I thought I was gonna be screwed & have to take it up with my card company or wait & see if the charge fell off, but Buddy’s did right by me and made the pizza for me I had ordered online“

“In addition to the awesome pizza & subs-there’s a huge selection of salads! The wings at Benito’s are amazing, with several flavors to choose from. Also, the mostaccioli (w/meat sauce & parm/mozzarella cheese) is Incredible. You can even order cannoli here. Love the staff at Benito’s! 😊“

“There are a lot of Jets Pizza locations and over the years I’ve tried a few. It was a mistaken on line order that brought me to the Grand River location in Novi. This was the “best” mistake I ever made. The food is always cooked perfectly, orders always correct but the most impressive part of this store is the owner and his staff. There hasn’t been a time that the staff didn’t have a smile and truly treat each and every customer with the utmost respect and no matter how busy they are their smile and friendliness never fades. If you’re near that area or even if it’s not trust me it’s well worth the drive!“

“Good taste as expected and I like the service. We love traditional vegetarian pizza and deep dish too“

“Valentines day dinner! Was greeted with valet service when we pulled in. Taken straight to our table. Food, drinks and service was all great! There was a special valentines menu for tonight and we got branzino and filet for dinner both were fantastic! Dessert was even better! Only missed opportunity was our table wiggled but the server made an attempt to fix it. Would highly recommend this place!“

“what a wonderful experience we had at Cafe Cortina! from the complimentary valet, to the matre'd and all of the staff. The food was excellent, the ambiance perfect, and our guardian angel, Besnik, provided excellent suggestions all throughout the night! He never rushed us, and never hovered, he was just magically there whenever we needed anything. It was a perfect dinning expirence and we are grateful for it!“

“We just tried MiYork for the first time last night but it won't be our last. The store smelled amazing as soon as I walked in. I ordered a meatball sub, a spicy chicken sandwich and French fries. Everything was so tasty and still hot when I got home. We cannot wait to try all the other items. Very friendly service and it didn't take long at all for my order.“

“Was there yesterday for the first time. Husband had Lobster Ravioli and just about licked his bowl clean..lol I had the best chicken parm I've ever had in my life. Crispy chicken and the sauce was so fresh and bright tasting. Caesar salad was delicious as well. And the bread? Excellent. Tirimisu for dessert.. perfection. I think I just found my new favorite Italian restaurant.. will be back! Great service too..“

“Outstanding service - very good food and drinks - the time table on seating was a bit discerning - we would have ordered dessert after a great meal but otherwise a very nice evening“

“We are fans of the Livonia location and when the Northville location opened we tried it and we’re just as impressed! Ordered the Quattro carni pizza and a side of meatballs …. Fantastic !! While it’s only carry out , that works for us as it’s clean , convenient and delicious!!!!“

“I had a fantastic visit here recently and can’t recommend it enough.

From the moment you walk in, the location and decoration create such a welcoming vibe it’s stylish but felt remarkably quiet and peaceful, which I really appreciated.

The service is where they truly shine. They clearly know what they’re doing here. We were looked after by a young man named Drew, who was incredibly kind and professional. His service was 'on-point' the entire time attentive without being intrusive.

As for the food, it was delicious. I ordered the pasta, and it was exactly what I was hoping for yummy, fresh, and they nailed the spice level perfectly. I also had the village salad, which was a great, fresh pairing.

I will surely be going back again soon!“

“you go there you're family...“

“Excellent seafood fettuccine. Wonderful service. Can't wait to try other dishes on the menu. I worked here over 30 years ago when it was Main Center Grille. It's just as delicious!“

“Village Pizza catered and delivered food for my son's birthday and they did a fantastic job. The food was delicious, arrived on time, and the order was perfect. I also have to be gluten free, and I loved that there were GF options for me!“

“Cheeseburger medium is excellent“

“We had dinner there last night with a party of eight.
Ginger was our waitress and she was excellent and so was the food. It was served hot and delicious and plenty of it. The bread was the best we’ve all ever had.
We will definitely be back again soon.“

“Great thin pizza - cooked quickly in a wood fire oven - salad was very fresh“

“Enjoyed a delicious lunch here today. Food was fabulous, Natalie (server) was excellent. I would recommend asking for her next time you dine here.“

“Antonio's is an old-school Italian restaurant, with traditional dishes. The food is delicious, the staff are attentive, amd although the atmosphere feels fancier than it is you will see many older people dining here in their nicest clothes, but also families with kids in t-shirts. The kids meal is a great value and our daughter asks to go here for every birthday. Entrees are a good value and come with amazing bread and soup or salad - but I learned the hard way not to add a salad when ordering the pizza or calzone - a side salad is $15 a la carte! Wish they had a better price to add one on.“

“What a find! Our golf group stopped in after golf and everyone enjoyed their meals. Great service. Yummy food. Can’t wait to work our way through the menu. And they have GF for me!“

“It’s a great place, with great food and service. My family and I love to come here, but the reservation system doesn’t work well. Even with a reservation you might need to wait 20-30’ in lie. Either they don’t have a good system or don’t respect it. That is definitely an area to improve.“

“We give Lelli’s on The Green 5 STARS for tremendous food and even better service! Everything for our party was perfect and we are grateful to Mark Zarkin and Arie for making sure we were so well taken care of to celebrate a very special birthday with just a few close friends and family. We highly recommend it for some of the finest dining around! Thank you Mark and Arie for being such gracious hosts and making it extra special. We’ll be back to pick up some trays to share with our family to celebrate Christmas as well! Happy Holidays and THANKS AGAIN!!“

“We dined here tonight and we come here often but I wanna give a shout out to Joshua G who took care of us the whole meal. He did a stellar job went above and beyond and having the upmost positivity in a server. We'll definitely come back just for Josh he really is one making a difference“

“What a wonderful man running the place! And delicious pizza too! 😍 thank you for the wonderful experience!“

“Impasto has really good food! The wraps are really good and so are the Fries! I’d definitely recommend trying the food.“

“Been meaning to post a review. Long time customer here. I work in the pizza industry. These guys are top notch. Placed a order tonight. 4pc chicken and pizza. Once I got there 20 minutes later. Unfortunately there was a mix up with the chicken and was asked if I wanted a refund or if I wanted to wait for the order. I choose to wait for the food. The customer service is on point. They were very accommodating because of the mixup. They will make it right ✅️ One way or another. This will always be my go to pizza place. Thank you staff for your hard work and superb service.“

“I’ve been going here since I’m was 5 years old with my grandmother. Best donuts in walled lake and great customer Service. The owner is a doll. Please go here there to underrated for how good they food is and especially there Italian loafs of bread 🍞.“

“I had an initial bad experience and I've avoided them for about 3 months. La bellacino's really is the only piece I like besides Jets and Dominoes and sometimes Hungry Howie's. So with that being said I just told myself ask for extra sauce, and just like the Michigan Avenue and Ford Road locations The was 🍕 BUSSIN!!! 🍕 SO MUCH I HAD TO TAKE A 🍕 IMMEDIATELY“

“Worked late tonight and didn’t want a pizza. Bought a Jetzie. Wonderful. I’ve got a new favorite.“

“I freaking love this place! They have the most unique pizzas. Obviously the famous dill pickle pizza is amazing but I also regularly get the chicken parmesan, which has a pasta sauce base and spaghetti noodles under the cheese! I've never seen something like that at any other pizza place. The pretzel pizza with pretzel crust and a nacho cheese base is another fun one to try. The staff is always super friendly and efficient when I go in for pickup. The food is always hot and fresh with quality toppings. Makes for great leftovers. It's dangerous how close I live lol.“

“The food is fresh and very good. The workers are amazing! So helpful and thoughtful!Definitely check this place out.“

“Best gluten free pizza 🍕 hands down!“

“We had lunch here today and were very impressed with the food & service. I feel bad I can’t remember our servers name, he was a very handsome African American man with amazing braids. He was so friendly and attentive. Bringing refills without us asking and checking in regularly to make sure everything was ok. We really appreciated his wonderful service. Our food came out fast and it was delicious. We will be returning soon. 😊“

“I ordered cupcakes and a cake for my wedding reception. It was delicious!! The raspberry cream filling in the cake was to die for and everyone likes the cupcakes. They made my wedding cake how I envisioned it and couldn’t be happier!!“

“I Love this location. It’s the only one we use. I was in today and they were slammed. I felt so bad, our order was delayed which I understood. The workers were very nice and apologized. I know that things don't always go as planned. I waited with my daughter and when our order was done they gave me a complimentary pizza. I was stunned. Not a lot of businesses do things like this. I am very appreciative!“

“It was a pleasure vto meet the owner this morning! I think he is a down to earth kinda guy! Wishing him much more success in the coming months!!“

“Waited one hour to be seated. Was told it wood be 15-20 mins .there were kids running around the restaurant. With no supervision from management or parents. Didn’t wait . It will be a long time before I go back . So I went to Tomato Appizza right around the corner and had a great dinner. Bye bye buddy’s“

“We usually alternate between different pizza places because we don’t have a favorite…. But we have discovered that Jets has the breadsticks where you can put pizza toppings on it.
I have small children…. For those of you who do not realize, breadsticks with pizza toppings is sauceless pizza. As in no red pizza sauce, dribble everywhere and on clothes!
Only adults and those who are worthy get the dipping sauces, so we finally have found a food that children like and parents do not mind cleaning up after. Win-win!“
