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!

Everything 10/10 or probably 100/100. The service food and servers everyone makes this place a great Italian hot spot. I was travelling here in Michigan for 2 days. Just randomly got to know about this place on google.
Must to be ordered bread service. Fresh baked bread with housemaid butter. The best bread had in my life it was so soft and delicious.
Our server Anna was so knowledgeable on her wine recommendations and helped us for food selection. She is friendly and so polite. Truly passionate about what she is doing.
Highly recommended for ur pasta and pizza cravings.

Had dinner here before a concert and it was very good. Highly recommend the bread with butter, it's amazing! The goat cheese and garlic were super tasty. Pizzas were solid but not totally outstanding. Service was very good. Only negative is that I thought the wine pours were a little small. But overall a great restaurant. I would definitely return.
