The Best Pasta Restaurants in Metro Detroit | Eater Detroit

"Some of the best pasta in metro Detroit lies in this elegant neighborhood restaurant in Birmingham. Nick Janutol, now culinary director for Chickpea Hospitality, a former chef de cuisine under Brian Polcyn when it was still the storied Forest Grill helped usher in Forest’s next chapter. Now experienced chef Talia Clark carries the torch. The dough at Forest is rolled with a mattarello and shaped into garganelli, tagliatelle, and ravioli. What isn’t cut by hand is fed through a bronze died pasta extruder to make shapes like rigatoni. Expect seasonal pastas like sweet pea agnolotti, squid ink puttanesca, and morels with garganelli. A pitch-perfect tagliatelle Bolognese is a constant on the menu, for those who value reliability. Reservations are accepted on Resy." - Danny Palumbo
