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.

Amazing food Berry was our bartender/Server and was phenomenal. Great atmosphere and with our first time and definitely won’t be our last.
The host of the door was very friendly and immediately greeted me and my friend with a smile.
Everything was wonderful thank you for a delicious dinner all of the staff was wonderful

Homemade made noodles, cocktails and good plates to share. My main reasoning for the stars: the shared plates are sort of expensive for what you get. They are good but you don't get much. The pasta, although handmade, were bland and just eh. I had the Alfredo and it was lacking seasoning like salted water to give it that extra kick.

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
