50 Best Italian Restaurants near Novi

“it was our first time here at Maisano's. we were celebrating our 29th anniversary. our server was Layla. She did an awesome job. her service to us made our anniversary extra special. thank you so very much. we will definitely be back.“

“There was a short wait for a table (about 15 minutes) which we did not think we would have for a Tuesday at 6 PM.
We should have went on the wait list from our phone Ap to avoid this.

Soup and salad were excellent as usual.
I had spaghetti with meat sauce. The server brought both the soup and the main course out at the same time which is always disappointing because one or the other will cool down. This is due to lack of servers or poor training. Our server was pleasant so we overlooked this.

We enjoy the food and atmosphere and often go to Olive Garden Restaurant in Novi, Michigan.
I’m sure we will return.“

“I am writing this review as a vegetarian and somebody who didn’t grew-up eating Italian food.

I love going to this place though. Their ambiance is good.

Their best highlight is their service. I have been to this place few times with family (the one that has a small child) now and always felt welcomed. I have always found the staff courteous and polite.

The food quality and portion sizes are good and justifies their prices.

Vegetarian options: The staff is open to questions and helps you choose the right dishes

Kid-friendliness: My kid has been treated really well every time we have been here.“

“Best pizza around. Very accommodating to large crowds.“

“1st time at this location. Snafu on phone order. Manager jumped in with apology and offered my pizza no charge. There will always be mistakes, it's how they are addressed. This manager saw the big picture and gained a new customer. And I did pay for my pizza. Very good BBQ chicken pizza .“

I ordered Rigatoni with steak tips and salmon scampi for mains which both I highly recommend! Jay our server was very attentive and had a great personality! Would definitely request him again! Thank you Aurora ?“

“Great music, amazing food, and perfect service. Great night!“

“Weddings at Café Cortina are intimate and special, like no other venue. No matter where you go there’s a beautiful background for every moment, and for weddings of less than 100 it’s perfect. You gotta check out their patio space for dancing. There’s something about it that makes you feel a lot of togetherness with your fellow guests at events here. On a sidenote, we DJ a lot of weddings here, and since we started performing her over a decade ago, they’ve maintained their quality and expertise. Huge respect for this place!“

“In our house we are pizza snobs. We try lots of pizza places. We ordered here for the first time today and WOW! it was one of the best pizzas I’ve had. While waiting for our order we were looking at the menu on the wall and we now have a list of things we have to try! We will definitely be back again and again. I will say it was a bit more pricey than the chain places but definitely worth every penny!“

“We had my mother-in-laws 70th birthday party there last night … everything turned out great! The food and staff were terrific! Will definitely use them for our next event! Thank you guys for all your help!“

“We absolutely love Mimmo! It’s become a takeout staple in our household. The food is fresh and delicious. The pizza is the best we’ve had!“

“This place is phenomenal. I don’t say that lightly. Everything was perfect. We got a margarita pizza, the lobster ravioli, and the tiramisu. Couldn’t believe how good the sauce was on the ravioli. The pizza had a soft crunch at the bottom and it was so light! They also serve fresh bread. The tiramisu was a huge portion and enough for two. We also got a chicken soup which was fantastic. Our server Tracey was so kind and welcoming. I will DEFINITELY be back here and recommend it to everyone!!! Huge fan!“

Debbie who was running the show that evening was very attentive to and just great to work with. Chris the bartender was also great, if he didn’t have something down at his bar he got it from upstairs. It was a great event!“

Everything was perfect.Thanķ you for a lovely evening out! We wiĺl return soon for more of your hospitality!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Awesome as always tonight! We make sure to stop in any time we are in town!“

“Ordered a OG, a large round pepperoni pizza with butter crust. There was a lot of pepperonis, so if you aren’t a huge pepperoni person, maybe ask for less pepperoni. I probably would order it again, but with butter cheese crust the next time.

The garlic mozzarella bread sticks were pretty good, although a little dry. Wish they were a little more cheesy. Most definitely would put Primos as a top 10.“

“Oh my goodness best pizza I’ve ever had hands down!! Excellent service“

“Ninos Italian Bakery is a hidden gem in Walled Lake.
This small, locally owned bakery consistently delivers some of the most amazing donuts and pastries around—always fresh, delicious, and beautifully crafted. My coworkers are thrilled when I bring them into the office!
We’ve also enjoyed their loaves of bread and their whole cakes.
Beyond the sweet treats, they offer a fantastic variety of savory options, sandwiches, pizza ingredients and take n bakes. Ninos has a small market of specially curated Italian specialties.
The friendly and welcoming staff make every visit a pleasure. If you’re in the area, Ninos is a must-try!“

“I love pizza. And apparently so does chubby charlie's... The dough perfect. The sauce tasty. The cheese 100% mozzarella. The toppings endless... I challenge anyone who's a pizza lover like me to ask for a topping on a pizza that this place doesn't have.“

“Great pizza! Used the phone BOT and was VERY impressed!“

“ordered several dishes for small wedding. Food was excellent and received many compliments. thanks“

“I visited this establishment Aug 1st frustrated because everywhere I went to purchase a cake I was disappointed. All I wanted was to buy my brother a cake for his birthday that didn’t look store bought.. I walked in seen 2 Beautiful faces smiling and greeted me.. They had the most beautiful cakes on display to be purchased.. I had the best customer service and I was very happy to have purchased a BEAUTIFUL NEAPOLITAN CAKE… THANKS so much girls for your help“

“One of the best locations, currently. Very friendly and professional staff. I appreciate whenever my food is well-prepared/packaged and visually appealing, no matter the price point. The seemingly fresh vegetable topping options offered coupled with the seasoned crust, made for a very delicious pizza.

Vegetarian options: Fair selection of vegetarian toppings and options available.“

“We always have our pizza delivered....Never had a problem!! Love their pizza, it’s the best!! LOVE the veggie pizza!!“

“We had the cheese ravioli and the mushroom ravioli last night and they were superb! Absolutely the best! The quality of the product is like nothing I ever had from a grocery store. It tasted like something you would get at a high end Italian restaurant. Highly recommend!“

“This has been my local Jet's Pizza for about 10 years now. I usually do pickup and have found that they are consistently on-time and their coupons usually mean I can easily find a good deal to order online. Even if things are busy they're good at giving accurate estimates and dealing with the occasional large order. I will continue to use them regularly.“

“I am a vendor to many Jets pizzas. I can tell you that all the Jets I have are super clean! I know :) but it's something that's important to me! LOL! I see a lot of kitchens and practices that make me cringe. So the good places stand out for me.“

“Food & customer service are great. I hope business picks up for them.“
