Highlights

Opened in March of 2014, our Plymouth location offers the same great selection and service as our Livonia location -- from a wide selection of old world, homemade baked goods and meal items, along with hard-to-find imported packaged food products. This gourmet market experience captures the inspiration behind Cantoro: the Fallone family's many visits to Italy. Our Plymouth location is unique because within it is a restaurant called the Trattoria, private banquet areas, a Mezzanine area, as well as the old world Wine Cellar located in the lower level. This location also offers fresh produce daily and a kitchenware department located on the second level. Often referred to as the Disneyland of everything Mediterranean food-related, customers agree our store is a unique place to visit and shop.

"Go grocery shopping and eat a fantastic Italian meal in one spot. It’s hard to go wrong with the tagliatelle alla bolognese prepared with scratch-made tagliatelle pasta and traditional meat sauce of ground veal, beef, sausage, and pancetta. The trattoria also boasts a fully stocked bar featuring a vast selection of wines, liquors, and beers. For dessert, one of the Italian coffees, espressos, or cappuccinos pairs perfectly with gelato." - Serena Maria Daniels

Loved the calamari and the service! The Margherita pizza was easily my top 5 in the greater metro Detroit area. Perfect sauce, cheese and crust. The crab pasta was solid and they give huge portions, but it could have used more lemon, and the pasta bolognese would have been better if there was more of a tomato flavor. They also have a great selection of wines. Overall, a great experience here!

I have been here a couple of times over the past six months for dinner. It is a very unique place - grocery store and nice restaurant. I would recommend it for dinner. I have tried a few of the pasta dishes, both were excellent. The portion sizes are large. In the larger group we have split a few appetizers all of which were good. The salads are a good size as well and they offer several options. Unfortunately, I have been too full to try dessert. There is a ton of parking. It was easily accessible from the road. You can't miss it when you drive by.

A group of us went to Cantoro's for the first time to celebrate our birthdays. Our server was phenomenal and patient as a few of us couldn't decide on which wine they wanted. She brought over samples and gave excellent suggestions. The food was absolutely scrumptious! The portions were very generous. Our meals were lamb chomps, filet mignon and a seafood fra diavolo. We ended the evening with terimasu and Gelato which also was great!

This is a must try place. Make sure to get a reservation. Dinners can get very busy very quickly and you don't want to miss this. Service was great,I sat at the bar. Attention to detail with drink pairings and food suggestions were very nice. The bartender had a vast knowledge of the different dishes and some background information about the kitchen, the processes, and the products. Food was a nice big portion. Wine selections were nice along with the cocktail menu.

Servers and manager were extremely attentive. We had the strozzapretti with wild boar, spaghetti, and Gelato. All were wonderful!

The atmosphere is nice, but it's too noisy and I waited for 40 minutes for the food.

This Italian restaurant is a great spot for fresh pizzas and pastas, and it also features a fresh Italian market right next door. The homemade pastas and oven-baked pizzas were outstanding. We started with the mussels and calamari, both of which were flavorful and delicious. Be aware that the pasta portions are quite generous—easily enough for two people. I highly recommend this place and can’t wait to return to try more of the menu and check out the market as well.

Came here for a birthday lunch and everything was great. The service was good and the scenery is bright and inviting. The lobster ravioli was good but surprisingly not as good as some of their other dishes with freshly made pasta. The desserts were delicious. Tiramisu is usually my go-to Italian dessert, but the cannoli and Gelato were also great.

The best Italian food in Michigan, I absolutely love it here! It is an absolute gem. From the moment you step inside, the ambiance is warm, welcoming, and vibrant, and the market itself is so fun to explore before you dine at the restaurant. I always find the freshest ingredients and products you'd truly find in Italy. The food here is incredible. The Margherita pizza is a must-try, with a perfectly thin, crispy crust and a simple yet flavorful combination of fresh mozzarella, basil, and ripe tomatoes. But if you're in the mood for something truly special, the Elicoidali al Ragu Agnello--slow-braised lamb leg pasta--is an absolute showstopper. The tender lamb paired with the rich, savory sauce makes for an unforgettable dish that's packed with flavor. For dessert, you need to try their tiramisu. It is made fresh daily and it's the best I've ever had--light, creamy, and perfectly balanced. Finish off with some gelato and a Nutella cappuccino, and you'll be in dessert heaven. Cantoro's brings a little piece of Italy right to Michigan. It's not just a meal; it's an experience. The service is always great, food is always delicious, and the vibes are immaculate. Highly recommend!

Fantastic! Food was delicious. Wine selection was very good. Ambiance was perfect! Our server was well versed in everything- food, wine, dessert!

Just went for happy hour. Had the Carpaccio di Manzo with a glass of Italian Pinot Noir. Great pairing! It was outstanding and very traditional; lemon and olive oil, cappers, finely diced red onion, arugula, shaved grana padano on perfect beef tenderloin. The peppers and calamari were amazing. Also tasted the veal ravioli; tender and delicious. Great service too!!

Yelp
Great restaurant tucked away in the back of the market - 5 stars for both the restaurant and the food! They have a solid selection of reasonably priced glasses of wine along with an extensive menu. I have had their lunch grilled chicken sandwich and pizza, and both were very flavorful and delicious. Both times we went the server was very knowledgable and helpful with guidance, but never pushy with making quick decisions or expensive selections. They do have reservations, which I recommend as they do get busy for dinner even during the week.

Annie L.

Yelp
Nice ambiance, nice service, and really nice food! Everything was so fresh, delicious and prepared well. We came here after church and had the charcuterie plate, the fried calamari, the olive mix appetizer, and I had a really nice salad. The others had pasta. Everyone enjoyed their meal. It's so nice that this restaurant is attached to their market and deli where we could shop for their really nice groceries.

Yelp
Cantorros is a hidden gem nestled inside a grocery store, and it's worth seeking out! The casual setup may be unassuming, but the food here is exceptional. They serve authentic dishes with bold, fresh flavors that stand out. The convenience of being inside a grocery store adds to its charm, making it a perfect spot for a quick, delicious meal. Highly recommend stopping by if you're nearby!

I give this place 3.5 stars. It was my first time here and it has such a cute ambiance. Great for a business dinner or a nice date night. The menu is also pretty extensive. The food wasn't bad. I just wasn't blown away either. We ended up getting the fried calamari as an appetizer, the branizo as the entree, and the pizza Diavola. Everything was tasty enough but I wouldn't categorize it as amazing. They have a pretty extensive menu so exploring other options is definitely something I'm up for!

Love the energy!!! So, this is my first time visiting. It was very crowded around 6 PM. We were able to sit at the bar which has full service, in about 15 minutes of waiting. I am immediately fell in love with this place. Love the ambience, the food, the staff. if there was one complaint it would be I don't love the olive oil/vinegar mixture for dipping the bread. I prefer olive oil with Pepp and cheese. By the way that is available upon request if that's what you desire. We ordered minestrone soup, Italian wedding soup, The shrimp/Farro appetizer and the Caprese salad. Everything was excellent. This is one of my top five restaurants now. Our server was Jen and she was really cool. Very attentive, very interactive, and made us feel special.

Cantoro Market has everything you need PLUS a wonderful restaurant and wine cellar. Shop there for fresh produce and specialty Italian items and stay for a wonderful Italian meal in the restaurant inside. They also have special wine dinners that feature a winery and are paired with dishes to delight you. We were just there for the Il Borro wine dinner and everything was amazing! Shop or dine, either way you will be happy!

I have had the Bolognese several times and thoroughly enjoyed it I've been to the Quintero's restaurant several times and have never been disappointed. Occasionally I sit at the bar and have the Capri salad which is also very very good with the buffalo mozzarella. I do recommend however, that you tour the market before you eat because after you eat, you don't wanna have anything that's so much Value in the food

I Finally got to eat here after hearing about how great this place is. Went for my birthday dinner and the restaurant was jumping for a Tuesday night. I had eaten light during the day so I was hungry and ready for an amazing meal. I enjoyed the red lentil soup to start and my friend and I shared bites of our pasta dishes. The Tagliatelle alla bolognese had a heavenly comforting tomato/ meat sauce flavor that seems to stop time for about 5 seconds. My Oricchiette Borese had an equally delicious flavor from the fennel in the ground sausage, red pepper flakes gave minimal (if any, to me) zing to the light garlicky olive oil sauce and sautéed rapini gave a burst of color and complimentary bite that greens posses. The portions can easily be shared or saved for another meal that you'll be excited about. We shared a bottle of Lambrusco over much conversation and I chose the Stracciatella gelato as my free birthday dessert and it was divine. Vanilla or sweet cream gelato with fine strands of dark chocolate mixed into it. The prices are $$$-$$$$ but So worth it for an experience/ meal of high: quality ingredients bringing you world class flavors, standards for customer service and classy yet comfortable surroundings/ ambience. You enter the Italian Market and the restaurant is to your right, all 1 level and spacious enough for barrier free access/ mobility. DO consider this restaurant for any special occasions, for parties of 2 and/ or groups. It will be a memorable time that I'm sure will also be the 1st of many.

Had high hopes for this spot. Hostess was friendly and polite, we were late for our reso due to bad weather & they were super accommodating even though we ran 40 mins late. Our table was great, ambiance nice but the server was slow. Knowledgeable but if you're in a hurry, maybe sit at the bar. Great wine selection but the beef carpaccio was overly sauced & had no crackers to go with. The veal Marsala was extremely salty and the veggie side doused in garlic. What a disappointment for $38, completely overpriced. At least my husband enjoyed his braised short rib but no potatoes or carbs to soak up the juices, just a squash puree. Dishes need work & prices are ridiculous. I'm not sure I'll be back as much I would like to try the homemade pasta, it's just not worth it to me.

I tried Cantoro's pizza last night and I must say, it is the BEST pizza I've had since I was in Italy!!!!! Crispy, thin crust, buttery mozzarella, and the seasonings!!!!!! Authentic!!! My friend told me that the food was great and he did not lie. I would add a photo, but there's nothing left!!! Cantoro Italian Market and Trattoria is my designated pizza spot from now on! Mua!!!!

The selection in the market is unmatched they have absolutely everything! We had pizza in the restaurant before heading home that was AMAZING!!! Fresh delicious burrata and a hand tossed fresh made pizza was worth the drive!

I've heard a lot of great things about Cantoro Italian Market and Trattoria from a bunch of my friends, especially the Italian American ones, so I knew this place was going to be good and authentic! The market portion of Cantoro's truly is impressive - it definitely skews very "artisanal," so you're going to find a lot of unique things here that you might not normally find at your run-of-the-mill grocery store and I always delight in this! There were fresh made pastas, meats, cheese and deli counter, etc. So many goodies here that were all reasonably priced as well. I just wish the market wasn't so far from me in Plymouth! As for Cantoro Trattoria, my experience was a little less impressive. We got to the restaurant right when they opened up, but they were already fully booked for the entire night, so they said our wait would be 4 hours (!!) for a table. Holy smokes! They said for seats at the bar, which served the full kitchen menu, it would be more of a 30-45 minute wait, so we put our names down for that and sure enough, it didn't take much longer than 30 minutes. Their menu wasn't too big, which I appreciate because that normally means they have the dishes that they make really well and don't need to provide more than that. I also really liked that their kitchen was located within the market area, so as you were shopping, you'd see all the cooks cooking the dishes for the Trattoria behind the hot foods counter - such a great use of space! The food portions were MASSIVE, which I appreciate and think it's definitely worth the value. Between my friend and I, we ordered 3 dishes (1 insalate - salad - 1 primi - all pastas - and 1 secondi - their meat-based entrees), the rucola e parmigiano (arugula and cheese combined together - so simple and so refreshing and delicious!), the orecchiette barse (love orecchiette pasta, both the pasta and sausage was house made, the flavoring here though tasted a tad weird to me and the textures were a bit off for me as well, but it was still decent), the risotto capesante e zucca (scallops and cheesy risotto! so delicious, my favorite dish of the meal), and the tartufo e zucca pizza. We got the tiramisu for dessert to split and that was very delicious and a perfect balance of all the flavors and ingredients. This is probably one of the better tiramisu's I've had. For the pizza, they brought out the incorrect one, I think we ended up getting the diavola pizza and it wasn't what we had ordered. My friend had taken one piece and eaten it and realized it wasn't what we had ordered. When we told the bartender to verify if it was incorrect, she went to check and realized that yes, it was the incorrect one. She then asked if we still wanted her to have them make the tartufo, and since all the food arrived in bigger portions than we had imagined, we said no. The pizza though was not great in my opinion either, the meats were really thick and again, there was an odd taste to it I wasn't expecting. All in all, we know we could've ordered less for two people, so what Cantoro's Trattoria has going for it is its portions. But from the dishes we ordered, I was disappointed overall in the taste, despite appreciating that they used a lot of ingredients you don't normally see in restaurants. I would order the simple salad and risotto again, but nothing else from what we ordered this time, and given the drive distance too, I would hesitate to make the trek out here again to try it all again because I don't think it'd be worth it. To add insult to injury, they ended up charging us for the pizza, even though it was the incorrect one... That seems pretty ridiculous. If I ever come back here again, it'll predominantly only be to shop at the market and not to dine.

The short rib was absolutely amazing, I highly recommend it, although it sounds like a seasonal item. The ambiance was great, service was quick.

My boyfriend and I came for dinner Ambiance was good and service was also good. I would say food was 4/5 not exceptional but overall this was good for a nice weeknight out.

Nice ambiance and service. Liked the different food options and the fact that all the pastas can be made gluten free.

Nice little mom and pop shop with a restaurant. Just make sure you check the price during checkout. They have a lot of cardboard handwritten signs saying items are on sale when they are not. They like to put items on sale and then charge full price saying sale is no longer valid. They did refund my request after I drove back to store to request proper price but did inconvenience my time. Customer shouldn't have to do this.

My husband and I went to Cantoro's for our wedding anniversary! We loved the updated menu. Everything tasted great, service was fast, waitstaff was knowledgeable and attentive, great atmosphere and our drinks were on point. The only negative things I would point out include the overwhelming amount of beans in the branzino dish and the calamari texture was off-putting in the risotto. We can't wait to go back!

Finally was able to check out the restaurant in Cantoro's market with a few friends on a Saturday afternoon. Loved the overall vibe and the decor of the restaurant the menu has plenty of options for people with dietary restrictions as well. We started with the limoncello which was refreshing and delicious. Our waitress was so friendly and made great recommendations! The portions are huge would totally recommend ordering a few items and doing family style to be able to try all of the delicious options!

OVER PRICED AS HELL! Lol. I only shop here for groceries if I happen to have a gift card. My mom took me to the restaurant for my birthday. Food was good, ambience was nice but as you guessed it REALLY PRICY.

Ranyia T.

We shop here almost every other week to get pasta, sausage, bread and cheese grated there. The service is fast and knowledgeable. If you go on the weekends it is very busy but during the week it slows down. They also have a restaurant that has food from the store but also other things too. The restaurant is amazing tasting food but the you will need reservations.

We had forgotten how good the food is at Cantoro's. We left wondering why it had been so long since our last visit. Our server, Trevor, was very good. Started with the calamari and beef carpaccio. Both were delicious and recommended. For our entrees we had the Bolognese, 1/2 veal ravioli 1/2 gnocchi, and the Saltimbocca Romana (veal medallions). Loved them all. Tiramisu for dessert finished our evening. Tiramisu was fine but not special.

John C.

Yelp
Excellent market! 5 stars. The market has an abundance of great fresh food. The glass showcases are the stars at this market. You can get pastas, sauces, salads, meats, lunch meats and almost everything that's imaginable. Market is very clean. Huge wine and cheese selection. Fresh fruits and vegetables. Your eyes will go into a shock. Excellent selection.

Best place for Italian pasta. All kinds are amazing. I would recommend sharing a pasta dish the serving sizes are massive. Top notch place.

Dustin H.

Yelp
Holy smokes this place is amazing. From the imported grocery items to the perfect homemade baked goods, and the gosh-dang amazing pre-made entrees like the veggie lasagna which is some of the best I've had in recent (or ever?!) memory... you *have* to check out Cantoro. I'm an hour away and this has immediately become a go-to for our home. Outstanding quality and customer service. If the restaurant is 1/2 as good as the market, it's worth another 5 stars.

Lulu T.

Yelp
This was my first time at Cantoro. I've heard so much hype about the restaurant and the experience did not disappoint! We were sat near the fire so the ambiance was intimately lit and relaxed. The service was helpful but not pushy. The portions were generous and so well done. I got the linguini with clams and my husband got the bolognese and, after just having come back from our honeymoon in Italy a few months ago, we felt like we were back in Sicily. Thanks for a fabulous dinner!

Sabrina R.

Yelp
We showed up on a snowy Saturday night and they were able to squeeze us in without a reservation and without making us wait - note that it was probably due to the snow storm and I suspect it isn't the norm for a Saturday night as I know this place is popular. Meal was excellent, the lemon drop martini was perfect, and we ventured through the market afterwards to the dessert counter to take home some dessert. Their market is insanely well stocked with all the Italian ingredient necessities and delicacies. I had shopped here to bring some random Italian snacks/cookies home for the holidays. Highly recommend both the restaurant and the market!

Ashley A.

Yelp
Okay, so the market is the BEST Italian market in Michigan, hand's down. We have been going to Cantoro's since I was a little girl and they had a one-room market. They have the best selection of imported prosciutto and Italian cheeses I have ever seen in the Midwest. My favorite thing about the market is the restaurant, see attached photos. They really put all the fresh ingredients of their market to work.

Mark H.

Yelp
Oh my does Cantoro remind me of the Italian grocery stores I grew accustomed to when I lived in the New York metro area. It's a little out of the way for me (2.5 hour drive from SW Michigan), but frankly, it's the only Italian grocery store I've found in these parts that has everything I want. The fresh mozzarella was excellent. White anchovies, yay!! Huge selection of pasta and sauces. Meat counter. And, oh boy, the pastry counter. Not quite as big of a selection as the bakery near my house in NJ, but everything we sampled was exceptional. Why can't they open a store in Western Michigan???

Andrea B.

Yelp
So we have a double place to review here. Let's start with the market. I may be biased because I'm Italian, but this place is like Disneyland for me. The variety of prepared foods, bakery, deli, meat counter, cheese, fresh pasta area, and wine is just amazing. There is just so much to try and each time I come I think I do just that. Want a cake- order ahead- they are all amazing and they do not disappoint. The NYers coming in for a visit and you need authentic Italian food? Look no further. Too lazy to make fresh dough for your pizza- they got you covered. Okay, enough about the store, although I forgot to mention coffee- shoot, I must go on. The restaurant! I've been dying to go for a long time. (And i forgot my phone for pics- sorry) I will say it fills up quick so someone like me has to actually try and put in a reservation, or- come for lunch! This weekend I found an open time and went in. We were seated right away and had a lovely server, Lilly, who was attentive and so sweet. We tried some wine specials and got the arancini appetizer that was soooo delicious. For dinner my husband has the veal raviolis (huge portions!) and I had the strozzapretti alla Norcina. All the pastas were homemade and fantastic. The sauces were so complimentary to the pastas. All and all we ate til we could fit no more in our bellies, but still hit the pastry case on our way out!

Christina R.

Yelp
Excellent service, variety and food. We sat at the bar and watched dishes come out of the kitchen. They all looked amazing. A nice touch is the ability to split or order half an order of the pasta dishes. I had risotto which was delicious. We will be going back.

Heather C.

Yelp
I went here with high expectations and left feeling unsatisfied. Our server was great and atmosphere was lively, but the food was just so-so. We ordered the cheese appetizer, arugula salad, and a well done pizza. The pizza came out very doughy the first time, they cooked it longer and brought it back crispy. The cheese and sauce on the pizza just weren't flavorful. It was lacking something, maybe garlic and oregano? I can't put my finger on it. I'll stick to just shopping at their market from now on.

Don B.

Yelp
I really like the food and atmosphere here. The restaurant being in/adjacent the Italian grocery lends authenticity to the whole. If waiting for a table, you can peruse the grocery area. The food seems upscale and portions are good sized. The bread that comes with the meal is decent, but there is no free soup or salad in front of the entree which is still common at many Italian restaurants. I have had all good meals here, but the cost is high; no doubt about that. In the end it is the pricing that shaves off a star as everything needs be good to achieve a five star rating for me. To put in perspective, a party of 3-4 is looking at $50 each for a shared appetizer, their own entree, and one alcoholic drink a person.

Johanna B.

Yelp
Food: 4 stars. Service: 2 stars. We went there for lunch to celebrate my husband's birthday. I made reservations a week in advance, for an 11:45 am time slot. We were seated in the bar area, not the dining room, even though it was only half full when we arrived. (My husband said he was ok with it, so I didn't ask to move, but he later admitted that the dining room would have been nicer.) We were right near the stairs, where staff and vendors were traipsing up and down throughout the meal. It was like sitting next to the kitchen. When someone takes the trouble to call and make a reservation, stating that it's a special occasion, give them a nice table, for crying out loud! It didn't get better. Our server was gone for long stretches, forgot to bring the butter we asked for, and never offered to refill my iced tea. While packing up our leftovers, she made a comment that many people get a half order of pasta. There is nowhere on the menu saying that half orders are available, and neither did she ask us what size we wanted when she took our order. I would have gotten a half order for sure had I known it was available. Cantoro's, you need to do better!

James H.

Yelp
The bakery here is awesome!! They have the best premade pizza dough I've ever had. The tiramisu is also world class. They also have a great selection of homemade fresh pastas and sauces. If you're looking for premade sandwiches, I highly recommend the porketta. Not much to not like about this store other than their liquor prices are above state minimum high is kind of unusual for big stores like this one. Please note that this review only applies to the store on Haggerty north of six mile. The old Livonia location is not even comparable and should probably be closed.

Restaurant Review 7/6/23 Visit We had a reservation for 10 people (5pm) When you walk in the Cantoro Market, turn right to enter the restaurant portion. The space is very cool, and clean. Overall we had a good meal, with high quality food, but the service was lacking given the $550+ tab. Timing was off, there wasn't any menu explanation. We were frequently waiting for the server to check back. I would definitely go back, but never for a celebratory group dinner. Most importantly... here are the details on the food, the entrees were all hot and plentiful: Bread and oil with balsamic is complimentary at the beginning of the meal. Calamari & Fried Zucchini appetizers - very good, fresh. Veal Ravioli - best dish out of everything we ordered. Perfect. Lamb Ragu - the lamb was tender and plentiful, this was an incredibly hearty dish. Mushroom & sausage risotto - least favorite at the table, it was just okay, my husband said "it tasted like stuffing". Just passing that along. Fettuccine Alfredo - my daughter requested this, it was not on the menu, and it was nice that they did that for her. It's not clear if that is an option for anyone. Veal medallions - the veal came with a tasty polenta cake and a green vegetable (spinach-like). It's a nice option if you don't want to eat a huge bowl of the same thing. It was one of the pricier dishes. Pizza with mushrooms and sausage - I think this was a decent value, and the topping combo was unique, it was a beauty. More than one adult could eat in one sitting. There was a forgettable salad and vodka pasta dish ordered as well, sorry I do not have very specific feedback there. Tiramisu - delicious, and one was free for the person being celebrated.

Cantoro Italian Restaurant; While my stepson and his spouse were visiting Michigan, we decided to find a restaurant conveniently located between Novi and Canton. After some consideration, we chose Cantoros in Plymouth as our dining destination. Food: To start, we ordered the pizza and calamari as appetizers. They were enjoyable, setting a promising tone for the rest of the meal. For our main dishes, I opted for a salad while my husband chose a pasta dish with clams in a white sauce. The food was decent, but not as flavorful as we had anticipated, especially considering the slightly higher price range of the menu. Service: Our server, Bill, provided excellent service throughout the evening. He was attentive and checked on us approximately every 10 minutes, ensuring that our dining experience was smooth and enjoyable. We were pleased with the level of professionalism and attentiveness. Ambiance: Cantoros offers a fine dining ambiance, creating an elegant and sophisticated atmosphere. It is an ideal place to entertain business partners or guests, providing a pleasant and refined dining experience. Cost: As a higher-end restaurant, Cantoros falls into the above-average price range. Expect to spend around $50 per person for a meal. Keep in mind that this price range reflects the quality and ambiance of the establishment. Parking: Fortunately, ample parking is available as the restaurant is connected to a grocery store. However, due to its popularity, the parking area can get busy, so be prepared to park towards the mid to far end of the lot. Overall Summary: While our experience at Cantoros was decent, we believe that there are other dining establishments that offer better value for the price. Considering the quality and taste of the food, we would explore other options before returning to Cantoro

We have wanted to go here for a long time, but never seemed to work out. Finally went there for dinner last night. Large wonderful servings. Excellent friendly service. Wonderful experience I would very highly recommend!

I wish I could shop here every week! Amazing variety, beautiful fresh produce. Beautiful deli and bakery. Awesome selections. Huge selection of alcohol. 10/10 recommend. Only drawback is that it's a little tight in there on the weekends when it's most crowded.

Ok, this place is flat out fantastic. It took us a few months to find a date and time that worked for us to make it all the way to Plymouth from Lake Orion to try it, and I can't wait to do it again. For appetizers we got the sausage with peppers and onions, and the fried zucchini which were both very good. We really enjoyed the focaccia bread. I could go back and just eat that with sausage and peppers for my dinner and be a very happy man. We had the homemade gelato for dessert which was as good as I've ever had. The homemade pastas with meat sauce and with ground sausage were both really delicious. Friends in our party got the branzino and the breaded eggplant and both really liked their dinners. The Italian market is also fantastic. Fresh pastas to take home, fresh marinara and meat sauces, fresh Italian sausage, cured meats and cheeses for sandwiches and charcuterie, and an unbelievable dessert counter. We can't wait to go back! We are already planning our next visit!

Went up to the bar yesterday and had the most amazing service. We were seated pretty quickly. The bartender was phenomenal and made everything a great experience from splitting our salad into two plates with out asking, suggesting half orders between two pastas I was stuck on to making a killer mocktail. We also ordered appetizers, salad and pasta with not one item missing. Definitely feel I made a mistake not coming here often enough.

Arrived at 5pm on a Saturday without a reservation. When we spoke with the hostess, we were quoted a 4 hour wait time for a table. Alternatively, we could put our name down on a waitlist to sit at the bar. We chose to sit at the bar, which took roughly 40 minutes of waiting still. Service was okay--towards the end of our meal, service slowed down dramatically. Additionally, our server gave us the wrong pizza (she asked if this other pizza was ok, and we said it was fine and she did not discount or replace the incorrect pizza). She also forgot one of our orders to go. Food was good but not amazing. Portion sizes are huge--you could definitely split an order between two people.

Love this place! Great food if you want to sit down and the grocery section has just about anything you'd want--very fun to walk through and try new things!

Im usually visiting the market side here every Sunday for our dinner items and some sweets (cannolis) as well. This time we made some reservations at the trattoria for a bday dinner on a Saturday evening and it was well worth it. The place was packed and still, the service was great, food was amazing! Love the interior with the fireplace, lighting and decor, this whole experience was 5-star for us! Definitely recommend for a date night, Bday, bridal shower, baby shower...you name it!

Always a great experience here! Food is amazing and authentic, service is phenomenal as well! I've been here twice and on both occasions the waiter went above and beyond our expectations to help us with ordering and ensure we were satisfied. It's a beautiful place as well, very clean and with the fact that it's attached to the market, you just know your food is fresh!

Mussels were sumptuous with a perfect tomato salsa, speckled with fresh minced garlic & the Calamari served with a tempora like crispness was inhaled. Our server was charming, helpfully, and wine knowledgeable. We especially enjoyed the near 90 minutes of open conversation time we were granted. The Ladies both ordered a chicken breast entree, can't recall what John ordered, but I narrowed my sights on a lovely pasta dish with a hint of spicy pork in the cream sauce. Only managed to enjoy half the serving - it was huge! Looking forward to our next visit. By the way, their market place is superb. The old world charm of the dining room simply added more charm to our overdue gathering.

I really had high expectations from all the things I've heard. The service was good. The ambiance was nice. We had a charcuterie app, bread, pizza, wygu burgers. Honestly nothing was great for me it was all ok, nothing special. The burger had "liquid smoke" taste. I really couldn't taste anything else after that. I wouldn't go back personally.
