U would wish you live near those apartments downtown so you could dine/carry out often here. Place was really nice. Packed enough that feels like a bar but designed well to feel like it’s a small restaurant in Italy. Appetizers were cooked to perfection.

What a wonderful experience was had!! From the moment we walked in to ask of the wait time, to the time we walked out the door, the staff, food, and experience was hands down incredible.
I checked to see what the wait time was, was able to get Bar seating, and had the staff confirm if parking was good. They went above and beyond anything I have experienced in a restaurant setting. Even walking back in from outside, I was treated so warmly.
Now the food was incredible! The food was prepared quickly and tastefully. Calamari was crispy enough and the sauces complimented the flavor tremendously.
Pizza - amazing for something we had never tried before - Bianca with artichoke, spinach, and a pesto sauce drizzled on.
Even for the bar seating, the ambiance was something that made you feel at home but also in a lavish restaurant.
Thank you to all the staff for a wonderful experience - I will be recommending this place to anyone that is traveling to Corktown/Detroit area.

Excellent Italian food! We came here for my wife's birthday for the first time and we enjoyed it quite a bit. I tried the Alfredo, short rib pizza, coconut curry soup, and the arancini. They were all delicious! Great atmosphere with the Christmas decorations

Food: Some of the best Italian food I’ve had. The pizza was perfect and the pasta was hands down the best I’ve ever had. Perfectly seasoned. The noodles were al dente. The fried calamari was flash cooked and not over done so it was tender and tasted fresh!
Atmosphere: it was loud but good times were being shared over food. The way Italian food is meant to be ate. It had a very rustic feel like you were in a small eatery in Italy.
Service: waitress her name was Megan. She was polite and enthusiastic. She was attentive towards her customers. While being very busy!
Verdict: Love the place. A must try! Reasonably priced! Definitely worth the two hour drive for myself!
