10 Best Italian Restaurants in Shelby

“On 12/27/22 my husband and I hosted a dinner for 18 to celebrate the marriage of my daughter and fiance. Everything was superb. Our server, Cindy, did a remarkable job. Couldn't have asked for anything more. The food was excellent, as well as the Sambucca.“

“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.“

“Fantastic food, reasonably priced. Meatball sub is incredible! Looking forward to the Eggplant Parm & Chicken Piccata“

“All food was good. Although one guest ordered a steak entree medium rare expecting “some pink”. It was more rare than medium Otherwise service was great. Other foods and salads were spot on. Overall a nice dinner experience with the family.“

“Decided to try this place out. Had the lasagna with a salad and it was delicious. The service was excellent, the food was delicious and the prices were fair for a homemade meal. Definitely will be returning.“

“The BEST Italian in Shelby Township. All homemade and I've been ordering from them from day one and never had a bad meal. Authentic and delicious. Enjoy.“

“Most all the pasta is homemade. Great eggplant, special appetizer, calamari, grilled octopus. All wonderful ministroni soup, well done. Lamb chops and special pasta with shrimp outstanding. Server was not trained in wine service. Ordered a nice bottle of wine was not offered a taste and over forward each glass. New telepizza for dessert, was just right for the three of us.“

“we had a wedding there last night the LaRosa wedding and Nick the bartender and his team was awesome. The food was incredible. The service was beyond. I recommend to do a wedding there. These people are fabulous.“

“First time trying Detroit style pizza and we knew we wanted to try Buddy’s. We weren’t totally sure what to order, but luckily Dejuan our server was incredible! He gave us wonderful recommendations, great service , and he was just fun! We had a delicious meal and a great time. We had 2 different kinds of pizza and the famous antipasto salad and it was all so good! So much so that we are going back tomorrow for more! And the manager Rondah stopped by our table to make sure everything was great and we let her know how happy we were with our entire experience, a true testament to what a great job she is doing running everything! We also loved that this is the original location on Conant St. and has a cool mural outside and such a great ambiance inside! If you are in Detroit this is the place to be!“

“My experiences here have always been great! I had the awesome lunch special and the customer service was top notch. The meal was fresh with some fabulous flavor. I definitely will be back when I’m in the area. I miss the pizza buffet, which hasn’t been there since COVID.“
