Jessica SNovember 5, 2013We seriously ordered EVERYTHING off the menu no joke and it was all amazing!!! The waitstaff was very attentive to our party of 20. Casual atmosphere with a great music selection, great drinks too!
Casey CottrellSeptember 21, 2014Went for restaurant week and it was WONDERFUL! Meat and cheese trays galore, pasta with truffle sauce, even simple Calamari was a step up with a hint of smoke from the oven. Great service-GO THERE!
PriyaMarch 5, 2018Food and service were amazing. We ordered Arancini and calamari for appetizers. Truffle butter pasta, pizza and the pork pasta for dinner. Everything was delicious.
JasonDecember 28, 2014Be prepared to wait if you come on a Saturday night. This place gets packed and noisy but its a good time, a cool atmosphere and the food is great!
Holly ChiriteJune 13, 2016Calamari, strawberry smash cocktail and the shrimp small plate.....all delicious! Sat on the patio, wonderful place. We will be back!
Layelle SaadJanuary 16, 2016Calamari appetizer was amazing! The artichoke pizza would have been better without the lemon zest. Overall great service and atmosphere.
Tyler MoldovanJanuary 24, 2015Intimate, beautiful. Almost picturesque restaurant with awesome Italian food to back it up and make for an all around great night

- Bill NewmanNovember 17, 2013Outstanding #calamari best in metro Detroit. Great small plates, pizza and pasta. Fantastic service, ask for Yousef.
TimDecember 24, 2014Great place. Decor, food, wine and service all stand out as a great Corktown find in Detroit.- JasonDecember 28, 2014The garlic shrimp is great! Use the bread points for dipping in the garlic sauce after you eat the shrimp!
Jonathan BraueNovember 2, 2013The carbonara and fungi pizza are hands down some of the best Italian in Detroit!
Richard HAugust 29, 2015The best Ceasar salad I ever had with a fried soft boiled egg that oozed goodness.

Chris HarrisonNovember 26, 2013The charcuterie and cheese plate is a great starter. The mushroom pizza was great too
Kristin VromanMay 1, 2016The food was great and the waitress was good we went there after The Ms walk 2016- Poorna RamachandranOctober 20, 2014Can't go wrong with the pepperoni pizza and nutella and marscapone panini!
James HayesNovember 15, 2013Great space! Not staffed well yet. Love the open kitchen. But put your back into it! I see a lot of blank faces.
Megan WarzechaSeptember 15, 2013Amazing. Italian pizza is delicious. They have a REAL bar with Pimms!
Nelly TFMarch 28, 2018Awful service, the waitress seriously doesn’t know when to come around and when not to come!! Food was even worse, not so many options to choose in the menu, pizza was too salty, Cesar salad was okay
Ar HiriartNovember 24, 2019Had pasta carbornara and the truffle pasta, wasted money, this is not how a pasta should taste like. Dont waste your money , does not worth the calories regardless of the good rating
Kaveh MohmandJuly 6, 2014Food good. Ambiance great. Service HORRIBLE. She wasn't rude she was just completely aloof. My pregnant wife had to wait an hour and a half for a pizza.
Sandra MundraDecember 13, 2015Long wait, terrible service, loud and crowded. If told the wait will be an hour, just leave.
