Giovanni's

The Best Pasta Restaurants in Metro Detroit | Eater Detroit

"Giovanni’s is a holdover from a different era of Detroit dining, tucked away in the far-Southwest neighborhood of Oakwood Heights near the Rouge River. While the area leans industrial these days, inside find a bastion of old-school hospitality with black tablecloths, jacketed waitstaff, and classic recipes from the old country that have drawn the likes of Frank Sinatra himself to dine. The menu favors homemade pastas and sauces tracing roots to the San Marino region of Italy. Think cheese and meat: Simple pestos, Bolognese, and ricotta dumplings." - Danny Palumbo
