My wife and I had the pleasure of having dinner here for her birthday and the evening was absolutely perfect! Jalen was our server which made our dining experience even better! He was very personable, knowledgeable on the menu items and my wife and I really enjoyed talking to him! The food was delicious and so flavorful! This was my wife’s first time here and she’s already making plans to return. I’ve been here a few times before and always look forward to returning for another amazing dinner! Thank you so much Jalen for making a special evening even more special!.

OTTAVA VIA REVIEWS

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.

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

The food was outstanding, and the atmosphere was absolutely beautiful! The service was fast and incredibly friendly. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to others.

MARIO'S RESTAURANT REVIEWS

Probably the best Italian I’ve ever had, this place was great! Loved the atmosphere of the whole place, music playing volume just right, waiter was great, helped us through the menu and was super attentive. The feel of this place was very homey to me, you could tell there were some regulars, great mom and pop feel. We were prepared for business casual, but they didn’t bat an eye. Had the cold shrimp 10/10, bread 10/10, then the salad 10/10, minestrone 10/10, and all capped off with the breast of chicken with risotto,(20/10) food was perfect compliment to a great experience! If I’m ever back in Detroit I’ll definitely return.

Mom thought it would be a good idea to try the Easter brunch out instead of cooking for the holiday. Worst decision ever. This brunch menu is curated for Caucasians. The options are terrible. You get more omelet options from Golden Corral. I ended up just having water. But on the positive side, the water was wet and cold . Will never go back for a buffet of theirs. Probably won't be back for regular food either.

Absolutely perfect night! We had dinner first. I had the Eggplant Parmesan and my daughter had a veal dish. They were delicious. We took the shuttle to the theater. It made life so easy. We came back after our show and had a drink at the bar. It is traditional Italian food. The atmosphere is old school which I LOVE!!.
