Restaurants near University of Detroit Mercy

One of the best Italian meals I’ve had in a while. Their pastas are to die for, which they make daily, as is their octopus starter which was soft, flavorful, and perfectly grilled. They have an option for pick-4 prix fixe and a tasting menu—we went for their prix fixe and came out stuffed. The ambience was relaxing, quiet, and perfect for a nice dinner out. Highly recommend!

I had the best night ever. I went to dinner to celebrate my 42nd Birthday (11/24). Our service was amazing. The food was AMAZING 20 out of 10. The drinks were amazing. My favorite drink is the “Woodward”. 10 out of 10 I highly recommend. We also ordered the Smoked Old Fashion, La Vita Sangria and the Viola Lemonade. Every single drink taste good and was strong( Not to strong but will get you there). Whoever the bartender is, they did their big one. I ordered the Chicken Piccata. This food was so good. It was hot, fresh and it had amazing flavor. My friends and I did meet the own of the resturant. He was so sweet and so down to earth and amazing. He took all our pictures. He showed us where the best places were in the restaurant to take photos. He also gave us complimentary “Birthday Shots”. This is one of the best dining experiences I have had in a restaurant in the city in a very long time. I am already making plan to dine again soon. Also, the staff let us know that the holiday drink menu will be released soon. There are a few drinks I must try on that menu as well. . Please make sure you try this restaurant asap.

Our server was fantastic and the food was creative and delicious. The chicken dish was not something I would have normally ordered but did upon recommendation from the server and I was so glad I did. Enjoyed the octopus appetizer. Their staff has great wine recommendations as well. Can’t wait to go back.

Booked this as a fun girls day activity and it absolutely delivered! The details all around were so well done, from the atmosphere to the menu to the dishes . . . Just absolutely perfect. Service was exceptional - you could feel the love and energy. We will be back again!

I cannot say enough good things about this dining experience. I have been a few times and every single time has been just truly incredible. From the second you walk in to the second you leave the door, every moment is perfect. The attention to detail is truly amazing. Every morsel of food I have had from this restaurant has been absolutely delectable. As someone who eats primarily vegan it is such a delight to have truly gourmet food with very interesting tastes and textures that is vegan. When you leave your seat, your napkin is picked up and folded next to your plate when you return. When you return to your seat, your seat is often pulled out for you. Every single person is so kind and welcoming and helpful. Just to reiterate, the food is absolutely some of the best I have ever had.
