“This pizza tasted like victory. I just got off work and was craving a deep dish pizza, however it was 9:50 and I was worried they couldn't take my order. Thankfully the staff member answered my call and let me order a small deep dish pizza simple with pepperoni and cheese. This pizza made my night after work and I am very satisfied with my purchase from the dough to the audible crust that my friend on my FaceTime was jealous of lol. Whomever made this pizza tonight deserves a raise xD.“

“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!“

“The chicken piccante is the absolute best!!! Amazing food, as always!“

“The staff is very good. Friendly fast and accurate. The owners are Theo Deanna and Paul. They are there to help you get the most amazing dinning experience. If ever you need something to supplement your meal just let the waitress know and you will be amazed by the service.“

“It use to be be a favorite restaurant. After the renovations it has changed. I am stating from a top notch restaurant now everything has changed. Quality, wait staff, noise level. Everything was wrong when we went there. I know they have to factor cost and profit and this is what was best. Not for us, won’t be back“

“Me and my husband had been eyeing this place for a while and finally decided to try it and OMG we were NOT disappointed!!!

“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!“

It was our first time there & definitely not be the last we will keep going back!! Thank you the staff for being wonderful.

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Charming. An old school Italian restaurant in a charming part of Grosse Pointe Park. A family friendly restaurant without being adult unfriendly ?. I went with a classic lasagna and it tasted like I was a “made man” in the Corleone family or something. Heaven! Atmosphere was classy without being stuffy. Midweek dinner and not much of a crowd so we were seated right away. I think my favorite part was tomato sauce that was used in the lasagna.“

“I’m going to call this a hidden gem because “The Hill” is kind of a sleepy business district if I’m being honest. Cafe Nini is also on the opposite side of the street from the majority of the restaurants The Hill has to offer.

Make no mistake, this cozy little Italian restaurant is one of the better restaurants on The Hill. The wife and I went for our regular date night and were definitely not let down.

I had the fruitti di mare and the wife had fettuccini alla carbonara. Both were excellent. Can’t wait to go back and try something different.

The restaurant is super cozy and has the best atmosphere of any restaurant on The Hill that we’ve tried thus far.“

“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!“

“This place has pizza and sandwiches that are to die for! If you get lucky and they have lasagna in the cold case, get it! It's the best I've had! Oh yeah, the pizza and hoagies are fantastic as well. I think I've tried them all now. Worth the trip.“

“We went there for our 21st anniversary dinner since we got married there 21 years ago. Great server and great food. The fried calamari was light and came with the best marinara. We tried the suppli for the first time and it was great. The tableside Caesar salad was the best I've ever had. We ordered the chicken parm and gnocchi for our entrees and loved them. The chicken parm portion was huge. We will definitely go back.“

“First time at Milestone Grill with my sister, and i recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants excellent delicious food!! As we both had the Spinach Artichoke Dip for appetizer then ordered the fantastic Grilled Chicken Salad, and the scrumptious French Onion Soup! We both will definitely go back to enjoy more of the many items on their large menu! Service was fast and very courteous! One of our new favorite restaurants! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Excellent , excellent service and food! We had a last minute school charity event for 40 people. 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.“
