The Hottest New Restaurants in Detroit, August 2024

"Celebrity chef Fabio Viviani is behind this new downtown establishment, which offers an Italian menu inspired by the broader Mediterranean region. Viviani has opened dozens of restaurants, bars, and venues across the country, and is also a cookbook author and TV host. For his Detroit venture, he brought on two veterans of the region’s food scene to head the kitchen. Chefs Gabriel Botezan and Marco Dalla Fontana come from a long background in the local Italian food world themselves, having worked together at the lauded Bacco Ristorante in Southfield. The menu features pastas made in-house, tuna crudo, sausages, wagyu meatballs, braised lamb shank, and more." - Serena Maria Daniels
