This quintessential slice of Italy, in a shopping center north of M-59, is the creation of three key players in the departed II Posto – Manager Rito Lisi, Executive Chef Daniele Dell’Acqua, and Sous-chef Mauro Querio – but without II Posto’s theatrics. The food is excellent. The service is crisp, knowledgeable, and friendly without being pompous. The decor is modern Read more...

The Polish sampler – a plate of kielbasa, pierogi, latke, and stuffed cabbage – easily rivals those served in Hamtramck. Alcohol is not Read more...
