La Noria Ristorante

Wonderful atmosphere!!! Amazing food and drinks. The blueberry margarita was outstanding. We had the burrata fritta and Italian sausage.

This is a very unique restaurant—they have a mix of Mexican and Italian food on their menu so we weren’t quite sure what to expect. We made a reservation for 7pm and we were literally the only table in there for the entirety of our visit. The food was okay, I had linguine with clams and I found it overly oily and not very well seasoned. The Caesar salad didn’t taste like a Caesar salad, it almost tasted like it had a balsamic dressing. The chips and salsa they gave us were great, and they were kind enough to give us a complimentary (and delicious) flan since we were celebrating our anniversary. I’m not sure we’d come back here, but it was a good experience!

Excellent place to eat Mexican and Italian food. Nice ambient and lighting was very good and I would recommend this place for couples, family and friends.. enjoy their food.. margarita was too sugary.. seems like drinking juice and less less alcohol.. other then that we had good fish and veggie pasta.. recommended

There were maybe 4 occupied tables and we were there for two hours, received our meals at the tail end of the two hours and one of us never received our meal. When they first served us water there was something floating around in several of the cups. Most notably, when the entrees came out everyone at our table finished their meals and they still hadn’t brought out my boyfriend’s food. We were there for two hours and had to leave due to a drinks reservation and who I believe is the manager said “oh I’ll take his meal off bill” when we said we had to leave as if was doing us a favor when it seemed pretty clear the meal wasn’t coming out. By the time we left it had been an hour since we ordered entrees. The waiter was very young and inattentive to us but seemed well focused on another table as if he knew them. We asked for several things he simply never brought which us no big deal but even as he was brining our entrees I asked for boxes and the check because we were already on a time crunch and he never brought boxes or the check. Last but not least, my cheese tortellini was served literally drowning in sauce on a plate. It literally looked like soup on a plate. Super disappointing experience for my friend’s birthday but at least the appetizers were good.

A beautiful atmosphere with fantastic food. Our group met here for lunch - I was pleasantly surprised by the Mexican/Italian options, had a hard time deciding but in the end - Was very pleased with my selection. Would Recommend you put this on your list of must try!

Excellent food, ambience and service!! We were quite surprised finding this hidden culinary gem. Everything served was quite exquisite. Tried Alla Veal Piccata and Tiramisu- so so good! Coming back to try more - this place is way better than many of the top rated restaurants in Detroit.

La Noria is a great spot. If you are not sure if you want Italian or Spanish/Mexican, I highly recommend coming here. The calamari is a must order. The service is great! Take my advice, just go and enjoy the vibe.

This is a really sharp restaurant where Italian bistro meets urban Mexican food. It is very lively and the food is either Italian or Mexican. The wait staff are friendly, professional and quick. In my dining experience it was a Family Style Four Mexican dinner which is $35 Per person. First was an appetizer of Chorizo con Queso Fundido. This was truly delicious with a generous portion of chorizo and just the right amount of melted cheese. Next was the main course that included Mole Poblano con Pollo. The mole sauce has chocolate in it and is slightly sweet but savory. The chicken was juicy and tender with great flavor. The Enchiladas with green sauce was different but tasty with slight heat. My favorite was the Camarones al Mojo de Ajo. Simply large shrimp with garlic, olive oil, butter and rice. The finish was a homemade Caramel Custard Flan. It's a small piece by standards but very flavorful. There is a top shelf bar that has great Sangrias and a nice array of Mexican beer. It's a bit pricey with a white wine sangria clocking in at $15 a glass, but the taste is stellar. All in all I highly recommend this delightful restaurant. It's perfect for small family celebrations or a nice dinner date.
