"This stylish eatery from NoHo Hospitality specializes in southern Italian cuisine. San Morello’s menu features handmade pasta and even offers its own Pasta Club with kits for assembling a meal at home. Expect dishes like lamb Bolognese and the My Grandmother’s Ravioli — an item NoHo cofounder chef Andrew Carmellini originally served at Locanda Verde in New York. It’s an anchor to the Shinola Hotel, so expect hotel restaurant prices. Reservations are available through the website." - Danny Palumbo
"Holiday pop-ups on the patio will run every Saturday in December with local vendors and seasonal drinks (hot chocolate, coffee, and spiked cider). On Christmas Eve and Christmas Day the full à la carte menu will be offered along with special holiday dishes; seasonal highlights include linguini with clams and a festive cannoli Yule log. On Dec. 24 breakfast is served from 7 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., lunch from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and dinner from 5 to 10 p.m.; on Christmas Day breakfast runs from 7 to 11:30 a.m., with an all-day menu available from noon to 9 p.m. Reservations are recommended." - Courtney Burk

"I can choose a three-course pre-fixe dinner for $120 per person at the swanky downtown restaurant inside the Shinola Hotel, picking from antipasti (including pasta like tortellini with squash), a main such as turkey in a Sicilian orange glaze with marsala gravy, smoked squash purée, cranberry mostarda and roasted Brussels sprouts or grilled swordfish, and desserts like a pumpkin ricotta cheesecake. If I prefer to host at home, there's also a three-course pickup option for $95 per person." - Serena Maria Daniels
"Other establishments that have embraced elements of the genre in metro Detroit include San Morello, which opened downtown in 2018." - Serena Maria Daniels
