Best Italian Restaurants in Detroit / Eastern Michigan

Anniversary dinner with my wife. Her first time at Cafe Cortina. She declared that this is the best restaurant she has ever eaten in Michigan. My dinner was also an 11 on a ten scale. Expensive but worth the money.

I had the eggplant parmigiana and it was delicious. Michael was our waiter and he was excellent.

As always, exquisitely prepared food, excellent wine, amazing staff. At this stage in the game there isn’t a better restaurant in downtown Royal Oak!

Alex, the manager took great care of our group. Everyone loved the food, wine and general atmosphere of the restaurant. It's a great place for an intimate dinner or a large group.

Excellent drinks, apps and entres. Our server was outstanding with his recommendations and attentivness to our table. The chips and salsa are delish!!

Great Mother’s Day meal. Great atmosphere, food and service. My wife has a gluten allergy and they make sure to prepare a safe meal for her.

Went there to celebrate our wedding anniversary! Had starters and entrees. Everything we ordered was fabulous and cooked to perfection. How have we missed this gem of a restaurant in downtown Rochester for so long. Will definitely be back!!

Food and service are always excellent, consistency here is the standard !

Great meal with quality food! Love this place.

Best filet mignon I ever had. Service is top notch.
