Tiliani Italian Restaurant & Bar- Halal Pasta & Pizza

My daughter invited the entire family to try this Italian restaurant and I thought sure I love Italian food. We tried the Brussel Sprouts, salad and two pasta dishes and oh my they are simply delicious. They take Italian food to the next level with a Mediterranean fusion twist. The size is generous and food is very flavorful. It’s not heavy but just mouth watering. My wife is usually a light eater but she cleaned all her plates. Besides, the place is nicely decorated, staff is very friendly and have a warm and welcoming vibe. We will definitely come back here regularly. It’s quite a drive but it’s well worth it.

I have been wanting to try this place close to home for so long and we finally made it. The food was outstanding. We tried several dishes and nothing disappointed. The Brussel Sprout appetizer with the pumpkin and whipped ricotta was so different and absolutely delicious. The kale Caesar with the pistachio crumbs, and their truffle fries were to die for! The braised short rib pasta was the star, they are very generous with the amount of short rib and the house made pasta was perfection. My husband also had their waygu tar-tar burger and said it was the best burger has ever had. I will be back soon!

I fell in love with this place!! I loved everything about it! I made a reservation and they had my table ready when I got there. We ordered the app and food together and when I tell you, they wasted no time!! The salad was half done and our entrees were here. I love not having to wait forever for my food. The salad surprised me and was 10/10. The pizza was another level of amazing!! The pasta was very good too, but a little too spicy for me which I wasn’t expecting but still very good. We ended up ordering dessert as well and got the wood fire olive oil cake and I was in heaven. The cake was so delicious I didn’t want to stop eating it. I highly recommend this place

If you're looking for authentic Italian food and only prefer halal, this is your spot. I had the kale salad and brussel sprouts as an appetizer and they were both delicious and the portions were generous. The main dish was the Short Rib Pappardelle, it was so darn good. The meat was tender and juicy and overall delicious a flavorful pasta dish.

Very good experience, first time trying this. The service is calm and well structured. The food was fantastic, I had probably the best Americano i’ve ever tasted and i’ve had ALOT. We ordered the cream corn and truffle fries for appetizers, both delicious. We had the Pepperoni Pizza, its a personal size but nonetheless delicious and quality is high. The short rib pasta is outstanding, they put in my opinion a generous portion of braised beef, which tore apart so easily. The pasta is obviously made in house and easy to tell from texture. Overall great experience of halal Italian, I was genuinely surprised and pleased to see that this restaurant owner has a clear identity in mind and knows exactly the direction he wants to go with this experience. Its an “affordable” high quality dining experience, I appreciate the attention to detail and care he has for what they serve.

Beyond shocked and appalled. The chicken was completely raw (see pictures) despite me waiting over 45 mins for my carry out order. I didn’t mind because I was happy it would be fresh. This was me and my wife’s first time trying this place. It look very white but I thought there’s no way they didn’t temp it, and I started eating it before I noticed that the inside was uncooked… now I’m at major risk of poisoning. Might be the first bad food review I ever leave but people need to be forewarned. My sisters in law also had a bad experience but it was not so much a food safety issue so we gave it a try anyway. The chicken was severely undercooked, the salad was completely soggy, and my wife’s pasta was strange tasting (she ordered the gluten free).

Tried this spot out a few days ago with my brother because we heard good things about it. Decor and staff were very nice. Nice small spot with a great menu selection. We started with the beef skewers, and they were seasoned really well. Main course I ordered the short rib. The portion size looked small, but it was actually quite a lot, and you could tell the pasta was handmade. The beef was cooked perfectly, but the pasta lacked seasoning, so I did ask for salt. The fresh parmesean added was a perfect addition. I enjoyed that everything was cooked very well. I just needed a bit more seasoning. They were grilling a lamb over a slow smoke, and it smelled great. Whenever that is available, we will be back to try it.

Tiliani is not just a restaurant — it’s a stage where flavors, memories, and family pride come together in perfect harmony. From the very first moment, you feel the difference: the service flows with elegance, yet every smile carries genuine warmth. There is no salt or pepper on the tables — a quiet, confident statement that every plate leaves the kitchen perfectly seasoned. And they’re right. Even in the simplest dishes — the pasta and the pizza — there is brilliance. They are stunning, proving that true mastery often lives in the simplest things. The highlight of my evening was hearing the chef speak about his family’s olive oil, pressed in Lebanon by his grandfather’s hands. As he set it on the table I could almost taste the sun and soil where it was born. His father, hosting that night, beamed with pride as he told us about his son’s journey. These moments transform dinner into something more — a conversation between cultures, generations, and passions. As a Mexican who lives for discovering exceptional cuisine, I know when I’m tasting something that transcends borders. Here, Italian tradition is honored, but infused with personal history and artistry that make every dish unforgettable. The Spanish spoken by some of the staff wrapped the night in a feeling of home, making the whole experience even more personal. Tiliani has the soul, precision, and storytelling of a Michelin-starred restaurant in the making. May God bless these gifted hands and this family’s beautiful business because they are creating something that feeds both body and heart.

Friends recommend this place so we thought we'd try it out. It started with a warm greeting at the door. The ambiance was modern and relaxed. Our server introduced himself and answered lots of questions about the drink menu. He was engaging and happy to give us his recommendations. The amaro sour was a unanimous favorite at the table. The Sicilian was a close second. We ordered two apps. The brussel sprouts and the boneless chicken wings were both delicious. For the mains, I had the short rib pappardelle. It was delicious. The meat was tender, the pasta was perfect and the cream sauce brought it all together. My wife got the branzino which was also delicious. For dessert, try the Tilly affogato. The black cherry gelato was also very good. We enjoyed these with an espresso martini which was very well balanced and finished the evening perfectly. Although the food and drinks were all wonderful, I have to tip my hat to the staff and the chef. By the end of the night we actually knew where everyone that worked there was from. They were so personable and really helped to elevate the experience. And on a trip to the restroom I bumped into the head chef. He was so engaging and after talking for a little, invited me into the kitchen to see how they made the fresh pasta. I would recommend this place in a heartbeat and will certainly be dining here again.

This has been on my list for a while and I'm honestly a bit disappointed by my experience. Husband ordered a beer on the menu. They were out. Asked for an IPA. They don't have any. Asked for a G&Tl. They don't carry gin. I ordered a dish. They were out for the night. I ordered another dish (short rib). Large portion of short rib but mostly fat. Pretty atmosphere Free parking nearby Nice staff Food - ok Overall experience - meh I wouldn't strongly oppose if a friend suggested it for dinner but it would not be my first choice or on my list of places I'd opt to return to.

Had a wonderful birthday dinner here; perfect oysters, the bang bang shrimp is super on point with homemade sauces and I always love the honey zaatar salmon. I was really happy that it came with yummy buttered perfectly cooked carrots this season. Hubby had the short rib paparadle pasta which is so savory and perfectly cooked. Tender meat, homemade pasta, creamy sauce. I also tried a glass of the Lebanese red wine they have and it was quite good! Service was excellent with servers and a manager on the floor; ambiance was celebratory and cozy; perfect on a December night. I love it here.

Made reservations for 9:30 and the restaurant closes at 10! How does this even make sense maybe adjust the time to making the last reservation for 8pm rather than 9:30 To get people in then rushing them out. Make it fair for people that are willing to come and spend their money and time. Disappointed because I was so excited for my sister to try this place. Food is mediocre

Normally this place is 5/5 for me, but I went there on my anniversary and the food execution felt sloppier. The service was amazing, as usual- that is always consistent. Everything else was just OK. We enjoyed the kale salad as usual, and the cream corned was some of the best and most interesting we've had, but the potato pizza was extremely dry. It needed some kind of white sauce or big cheese flavor. I like the concept but it was missing something... maybe more garlic or salt? It was just kind of bland and dry. The short rib pasta was tasty, but the style of noodle was quite thick and didn't really do anything to enhance the short rib... they were just kind of there. IDK, maybe our expectations were too high since we've had fabulous experiences otherwise. I think they need to update a few of the starters and pizzas, not much has changed over the last year. We miss the zaatar za though. Ambience was pleasant, it's chic and clean. I think if they knocked $2 off the mocktails they would go crazy. We ordered 2 each but could've easily gone for a 3rd and even 4th on nights when we get dessert.

Tiliani is the most cutest, quaint restaurant that I have been to in a long time! The aesthetic is stunning, and the restaurant is decorated quite well--white table cloths included. Carlo was my server, he was so polite and kind. He suggested that I try the Short Rib Pappardelle. And, let me just tell you--that dish is to die for! The cream sauce is the right consistency, the noodles are made fresh in house, and the short rib was prepared to perfection. It's tender and juicy! Basically, the dish melts in your mouth--pause. I was thoroughly impressed. I would go back there just for that dish and to also try new dishes. I highly recommend!

The best things were the short rib pappardelle, and coccoberry bliss drink, both were flavourful. The bread was great, and the basket really caught my eye. Our server Lisa was awesome, she really made our night fun by adding to our jokes and not being offended. The lamp chops were cooked just right, and soft and went well with the sauce they came in. The waygu was okay, just cooked in something simple and sweet didn't feel to have any special flavour. Rigatoni was sweet, which I would never get again here. Least favourite was the NY strip, it was slightly undercooked for what I asked for. It was also cold, it used the same sauce as lamb chops. The place is nicely decorated, seating is kind of tight. The did give us a free dessert, which was also decent. Good to have a halal Italian place in the area.

I have very much enjoyed tilani. Beautiful decor, great food, and awesome service! I would def recommend and come back again

I loved it! Such a cute spot with unique menu options and flavors. Hostess and server were both very kind and welcoming. The kale salad is incredible and refreshing, I also highly recommend their coconut bliss mocktail~ so refreshing!

My friend walked in on a Sunday night around 7 and was told the wait would be around an hour and 15. That was no problem. We went to the amazing bakery next door. She got a text around 8 saying it would be longer which was no big deal since it was still 15 mins before the estimate. My other friend looked up their hours and they close at 9. We were worried that we wouldn't get sat at all so we went back a little before 8:30. There were several two tops open but not next to each other and we had three people. There was a four top open and six top as well. The hostess said there was a table ahead of us. She would call them and if they didn't answer then we could have the four top. Well they just not have answered because we got sat. I have worked in several restaurants and none of it made sense. Even if the four top answered the phone and took the four top, why not just let us sit at the 6 top as they were about to close and we waited almost an hour and a half. The interior is very cute. I also liked the music as well. The server was really great in explaining things. I had the mushroom app and the shrimp with chili butter pasta. Both were just okay to me. The mushrooms were very meaty which was nice. I found it odd that the shrimp was cut into tiny pieces. I didn't like that at all. They gave us a little bag of granola at the end which I took home. I didn't love that either.

I have been wanting to try Tiliani for months, but it didn't work out until last week. Finally, I had the opportunity to have dinner there and I was more pleased than I imagined I might be. The ambiance is unique and charming. The waitstaff was very attentive and offered suggestions and interesting info about the food, e.g., the source of the olive oil. The meal started with warm homemade bread with a fancy olive oil for dipping. The bread was phenomenal and the olive oil was peppery. It was the kind of bread that was so good you'll think about it later. My party of three each tried a different pasta. I tried the caramelle - a pasta dish made with twisted candy-shaped pasta stuffed with spinach and topped with a silky mushroom sauce. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente. It was a delectable and elegant dish, not overly large in portion size but ample enough for me, especially after two slices of that amazing bread. The other members of my party ordered the tagliatelle bolognese and the the rigatoni with a spicy blush sauce. I tried the rigatoni and found it very flavorful. I might order that one in future. Both the rigatoni and tagliatelle seemed to be much larger portion sizes. For dessert, we ordered the bitter orange olive oil cake and the tiramisu. Portion sizes for both desserts were huge and splittable. The olive oil cake came topped with fresh ricotta and preserved cherries. The olive oil cake had a unique taste and texture that was unlike any dessert I've had before in a good way. The tiramisu was very good but I wouldn't say it was better than others I've had. All three of us were very pleased with the quality of the meal and look forward to go8ng back sometime to try the pizzas. All three

We did the "chef's "choice". The food was amazing, the service was excellent. Had a wonderful date night. I highly recommend it. Will definitely go back again.

Absolutely charming little restaurant - everything we had was delicious. The bread is all made in house. Olive oil direct from Lebanon. The truffle fries were pronounced the best fries ever by our friends. Patata pizza was amazing. The grape lemonade mocktail was spectacular. And the olive oil cake was superb for dessert

The service was excellent but the food was very bland. I had high hopes for this place since it's the only halal Italian restaurant. Everything I ordered required red pepper flakes. I was hoping the food would have been well seasoned. They have so much potential with this restaurant.

Great experience. We've wanted to try Tiliani for a while now and finally tried it last weekend. They start by bringing homemade focaccia and olive oil which were excellent. Then we had the calamari for an appetizer which was also very good. For entrees we ordered the cappelletti (outstanding) and the prawns with black rice (ok/good!. We probably wouldn't order the shrimp again but everything else was really good. Our server was Carlo and he was great. Overall it was an excellent experience and we'll be back.

West Dearborn really needed a good authentic Italian restaurant! The decor and ambiance is everything. The restaurant is beautiful! The service was great. I loved our waitress, she went over the menu with such detail. She definitely deserves a shout out but I don't remember her name lol but it starts with a "K" I believe. The complimentary bread and olive oil used for dipping the bread that's imported straight from Lebanon from the chefs grandpas olive trees was such a beautiful touch. I really enjoyed that olive oil, it was amazing. I really really enjoyed the kale Caesar and I would 100% go back just for that salad alone. It was probably one of the best kale salads I have ever tried. We also had the steak and the rigatoni which were also super tasty, I've tried Carbone and let me tell ya, I enjoyed the rigatoni at Tiliani 100x more. I definitely want to come back for that kale Caesar and to try the pizza next! Highly recommend trying this new place out and supporting a local small business. Cheers!

Wow this place was amazing!!! From the focaccia with olive oil from the chefs grandfathers farm in Lebanon to the cucumber, mozzarella, and wagyu skewers appetizers, we started off as good as you can get. My amaro sour drink was also incredible and perfectly balanced. The rigatoni and torchietti pastas were both good and flavorful. The lamb chops were very very good and a sizable portion unlike some other restaurants. Lastly the poached apricot dessert was incredible. We had an amazing server and she was very attentive without being overbearing. The ambiance is nice and chill and I really enjoyed eating a meal here. They also have the option to sit inside or outside.

So I normally don't give 5 stars, but I really loved this restaurant. parking is not an issue here. The ambiance is cute, u can dress up so dress down. The waiter was very attentive, and knew the menu well. They bring home made bread to the table and the olive oil for dipping was Lebanon. For apps we got the kale salad which was amazing! The mushrooms and wagu skewers. All the apps were great! For dinner, all three of us ended up ordering the same thing, the short ribs with pasta. It was phenomenal!! However if ur lactose intolerant, this dish is not for you. The owner came around and said hello to everyone. All in all the food was amazing and I can't wait to go back!

If you came here from the instagram post/tiktok of the short rib pappardelle.... Keep walking. It wasn't good. Super fatty and just didn't taste good... If youre here for the drinks... come on in

Cute, new halal restaurant in Dearborn. Decor is fun and beachy. Focaccia was served warm with olive oil which was nice to start. For apps, we tried the kale Caesar salad which personally I love kale salads but the kale to dressing ratio wasn't my favorite. Kale pieces are also very large. Brussels sprouts had ricotta served on top, which I enjoyed. Favorite of the night was the pepperoni pizza, mostly because it was halal, thin, and personal sized. Would recommend getting 2 pizzas if you're sharing with the table. For my entree, I ordered the spicy rigatoni pasta which was okay. It didn't really stand out to me and it wasn't spicy at all. Overall I like the concept of the restaurant but it wasn't my favorite for Italian food.

Tried this place out after seeing it on social media. The interior was lovely. Food wise, it's exciting to see an all halal Italian restaurant, but I do wish there was a bit more flavor. We started off with the kale Caesar salad which was okay, and the Brussels sprouts which we loved. Our table split the pepperoni pizza and got some rigatoni pasta as well. The pizza was good, the rigatoni pasta was meant to be spicy but was not spicy at all. The main entrees were very expensive so we steered away. The pastas are also pricey for what they are but the portions are generous. I also enjoyed the virgin mint mojito. Overall a cute date night spot in Dearborn!

Food was amazing! I had the short ribs and my wife had the Branzino. We split them both since we wanted the same thing. The Branzino was delicious. Perfectly cooked with the crispy skin. The pesto topping really gave it a complete flavor. The short ribs was one of the best I had. The noodles complimented it very well. Staff was very attentive and ambience was very cozy and intimate.

Incredible food and service!! Honestly a new favorite date night or special occasion spot. The kale Caesar, pizza, and pastas were all incredible and the home made gelato was a great way to end the meal. Hisham the chef is incredibly talented. This place is a must try!

The food was great, we got the beef carpaccio, funghi pizza and malfadine. Personally the beef carpaccio tasted a little gamey but aside from the carpaccio I enjoyed the the food overall. Their starter focaccia bread with olive oil and salt was a nice touch, which the bread was warm when served but still delicious! The interior is very cute there is also a nearby parking lot making it easy to park and get to the restaurant. The service was off putting, we had a server that was pretty passive aggressive. Not sure what was going on, but it left a sour taste/bad experience.

Oh yea it's the spot. Want a great spot to take the love of your life? I'd recommend Tiliani. We had three entrees and two drinks plus a desert for under $100. Delicious food all made by hand, and not to mention it's a gorgeous restaurant. Skip birmingham, skip royal oak, go here for a real treat! Also our server was very sweet and we were checked on by all the staff working, so needless to say we were taken care of. Thank you guys for such a great night! Featured below, Squid Ink pasta 10/10

We have been wanting to come here since they opened. I had seen some mixed reviews, but the good ones were all 5 stars. I am baffled about the bad reviews! We had an absolutely amazing experience! When you walk up, there are several beautiful outdoor tables. This restaurant is gorgeous. they did everything to make sure that this was an upscale experience. I recommend reservations, but we were fortunate enough to sit at the bar. We enjoy sitting at the bar. We ordered drinks to start. I got an espresso Martini and I was blown away. We agreed that it was the best espresso martini we have ever had. Lisa was our bartender, and she was magnificent! We started with oysters. They were perfect. We then received this yummy bread. It was lightly salted and delicious! We ordered the lamb chops and the lemon oregano shrimp. My lamb chops were perfectly cooked and tender. The shrimp though! The sauce was delicious. We don't normally have dessert but we indulged. We got a strawberry tiramisu. Can't say enough about this whole experience. You absolutely must. Check it out!

Honestly, at best mediocre. I went because it was halal and the hype on Tik Tok. Unfortunately, it was not worth it for me. Do not get me wrong, the aesthetic and décor are there but personally I go to places for the FOOD. Bread and olive oil...should be reserved for ACTUAL fresh bread and good quality olive oil. The bread was COLD like it had been in the refrigerator. Pizza again mediocre, the pepperoni with the hot honey was way too sweet. My Margarita pizza I prefer to have whole leaf basil on it, but that is personal preference. Bucatini was one of the solid dishes pastas was aldente. For the rigatoni you're better off going to Whole Foods and buying the jarred pasta sauce from Carbone, ricotta cheese and fresh pasta and you can feed a family of 6. Bruschetta nothing special. I don't mean to put this business down but for the prices on the menu it was not worth the visit.

Took my wife here for her birthday we're still inside eating and I had to write a review to let them know how amazing the food is and the service

After our last experience, which didn't go well, we were contacted and encouraged to give Tiliani another try. Which we did. I'm pleased to say it was a lovely dinner all around. Unlike the last visit, there appeared to be plenty of staff & we were well taken care of. The service was great, the food fantastic. Everyone in the group enjoyed their entrees. My salmon dish was beyond amazing. We also had the bolognese and the lemon oregano shrimp. All delicious. We were glad to see the new & improved wine menu. The restaurant was full and lively. We will most definitely be coming back!

Food and service are off the charts! Highly recommend for the ambiance and vibe. If you're looking for a cozy spot, this is it.

After hearing a lot of good things about this restaurant, my wife and I had dinner at Tiliani for the first time and had a wonderful time. The owner and Head Chef, Hisham, is incredibly talented, and the staff was extremely conscientious. The food was incredible (especially the short rib) and we will definitely be back for more. I would definitely recommend you try this place.

We went in for Happy Hour- drinks and food were great . Ordered a pizza from regular menu and it had a lovely chew. Staff was very friendly. Will be back

We came here a couple of weeks ago and had an amazing experience ! even with my 6 and 3 yo, there was something for everyone . food was delicious (everything on the menu)!! they even accommodated to my picky 3 yo needs. service was phenomenal! highly recommend . restaurant is also Beautiful and super clean! will be back again

Extremely overpriced small portions food just not good. When we walked in we were really surprised with how small the place is. We expected a fine dining atmosphere but it wasn't giving that at all. Found a hair in on one of our new plates but we didn't complain since the staff seemed kind of annoyed and not super attentive. The music was so loud we couldn't hear ourselves and it was a lot of screaming in the vocals. We only ordered a few pasta dishes that we wanted to try and they were really not great. Pasta was underdone (not in the al dente type of way) and the sauce flavors were kind of strange and starchy tasting. Glad we didn't order too much to begin because it would've went to waste if we did. Just expected a lot more from a place at this price point... overall was pretty disappointing.

This restaurant is trying to hard to stand out. The service is excellent. Our waitress, Madison, was such a delight throughout the whole night. The ambiance of the place was also very nice. The food was overpriced given the poor taste and lack of good presentation. We started off with the Brussel Sprouts and they were good, I would only recommend those on the menu. The pizza lacks SO MUCH flavor. The dough was cooked but tasted raw, there was barely any sauce on the pizza, and it was just missing something. We couldn't even eat another slice. The pasta was extremely disappointing. The rigatoni had cinnamon in it, and the cinnamon flavor was SO overpowering we could not eat it. We left it as is. The bucatini was mediocre at best. It needed more sauce, it was very bland, and the mushrooms on top were too dry. Also, we wanted to add chicken to the pasta but couldn't because they did not have any - How does a restaurant not have chicken????? You are not allowed to add any protein to any pasta. The most disappointing part of our whole experience - the Executive Chef went around to every table and did not care to stop at ours. I wish he would've stopped so I could address the lacking of flavor in his dishes. We left here, STARVING, and went and got Chicken Shawarma sandwiches from Hamido. The restaurant was a huge disappointment, and I would weigh out your options before dining here. Do not waste your money.

i love the food, stopped me from beating my wife tonight. you guys are essential workers that matter!!!

This place was mediocre at best. Food and service could have been better for the price. I I guess when you come as a larger group they figure gratuity is already included so why accommodate anybody at the table. A group of 10 and not enough bread for everyone, they said they were out of bread. Also, they were out of white wines and out of a few of their appetizers. The oil they fried the calamari in was old oil and super distasteful. The pepperoni pizza was super spicy but the margarita pizza was pretty good. The rigatoni was just ok . Their food is a little salty. I highly recommend the kale salad! That was by far the best thing on their menu and I didn't even think I liked kale. Overall ambiance was nice. But honestly the food wasn't worth the price.

I'm sorry, but the food here is extremely inconsistent. While one dish was decent, my main course was inedible. I won't be returning and wouldn't give them another chance--it's just not worth it. The meal was overly salty and tasted like it was overloaded with garlic cloves, which isn't true authentic Italian. Italian food should have subtle flavors with just hints of garlic and olive oil, but this was too heavy and frankly unpleasant. The only positives were the bread and salad. The service and atmosphere were great, but they definitely need a new chef.

We ordered the kale cesar salad, beef skewers for starters. Our main dishes were the fungi truffle pizza & rigatoni. Every dish was very flavorful and cooked to perfection! Can't wait to come back again and try more items on the menu!

Actually would give 2.5 stars if possible. Place is clean and decor is nice. Servers were very friendly. Food is priceyyyyyy and the taste does not justify it. The apple cider mocktail mixer tastes like apple cider vinegar. The cauliflower appetizer was ok but there was this fruity jam on it that is so sour/acidic, combo did not work at all. The "boocatini" pasta, which was just cacio e Pepe, was bland. Lamb chops were not bad but took 45 min to cook. Lacking flavor and were served on some veggie purée? Not great. Carrots were fine. Overall very bland. For the prices, I would definitely not come back. Pretty disappointed bc I had high hopes. A good pasta place is lacking in this area and better food w more reasonable prices would have been a huge hit!

Wow this place was amazing. From the live music outside, to the whole ambiance. It was a beautiful night. They start with focaccia, oil and drinks. The wine menu doesn't have many of the standard ones you might know but they offer samples and our server was super helpful with suggestions and comparisons. The spicy rigatoni was amazing, and the mushroom bucatini. We also got a pepperoni pizza, and sides of their ranch. It was spicy in the best way. Will return.

Honestly the worst meal and service that I've had in a LONG time! Very underwhelming food and overpriced. They missed the Italian cuisine mark by a long shot.

Fine dining restaurant. The service, food, and ambience is 5*. Their description is coastal Italian. The Branzino recipe is to die for. The chef is accommodating for diners who don't eat carbs. The radicchio salad is balanced despite me wishing for more. I know that it isn't easy to source halal meats and farm to table with organic in mind. The olive oil is a must try. I like to do blind taste tests of olive oil and I would not have guessed that it's Lebanese. The squash was cooked perfectly. Mike was an attentive server and the hostess listened to my request. Make an RSVP on the app they use.

Reading through some of the older reviews here it looks like this new fine dining halal Italian spot in dearborn was off to a bit of a rocky start. I ate at Tilani last night and I have to say I was impressed. I've spent a number of weeks in Italy over years and ate a lot of pizza and pasta during my time there. Tilani did not disappoint, we ordered the Rigatoni (13/10) which was the star of the night. We also ordered a ground beef pasta, which was good but had a sweet element to it, but since we ordered the pepperoni pizza too there were now two "sweet" elements to our dishes and this was a little overwhelming. I would recommend ordering one or the other. My wife ordered the virgin mojito and loved it. This is definitely a place worth checking out, I will be returning for the Rigatoni and to try some of the other pizzas. The service was great as well, they were a little light on the bread and automatically add a 20% tip to your order, but everything was great and the experience was phenomenal.

Was looking forward to checking out this restaurant, even after reading the many reviews. The food was just okay and wouldn't say it was worth the cost. We had oysters as an appetizer and sadly, they didn't have horseradish or tabasco sauce. The pizza was good. They claimed they were out of the lamb chops, but saw a plate being served to another customer. The waitress was ok and she suggested the ribeye, but was flavorless and they didn't have any zip or sauces. The meat was bland and not worth $80. Portions are small and for a family of four, our bill was over $320, with tap water as our beverages.

Food was amazing. We ordered the kale Caesar salad, brussel sprouts, and wagyu beef skewers as appetizer; all were delicious. We ordered the rigatoni, bucatini, and mafaldine pastas as entrees, in addition to the grilled chicken thigh. All were delicious as well. For dessert, we ordered the strawberry tiramisu, and the gelato trio of mondo rustic chocolate chip, lavender honey, and sugarcube melon sorbet. All excellent. Owner was seated next to us with his family and came over to say hello. Will 100% be coming back. Would highly recommend. We also ate outside in a lovely atmosphere with a musician playing guitar and singing Italian music.

Service and ambient is on point . But the food just isn't there . This is a wanna be an Italian restaurant. Maybe its too new, or something. We'll give it one more shots in few months, but for now we cant recommend it.

Worst fine dining I've been too. I went with my father-in law and my grandma-in-law who has a medical condition. It started raining outside on us and the food. They didn't give us a table inside even though there was one open. They said it is reserved for someone coming but stayed open till we left almost 20 mins later. The customer eating comes before an upcoming reservation.

If you're looking for your typical lasagna or spaghetti and meatballs with breadsticks or a chicken Caesar salad, go to Olive Garden. If you want to try something unique and fresh, made with local ingredients, go to Tiliani!! From the house made bread, pizza dough and pastas to the olive oil that they use (straight from the Chef's grandfather's farm in Lebanon), it is clear that they put serious thought and effort into curating each individual dish. I also really appreciated how knowledgeable the staff was, and the fact that their menu highlights seasonal ingredients from local farms! I will gladly pay a higher price point for fresh, locally-sourced cuisine. A few members of the party I was with had dietary restrictions, and they were able to accommodate amazingly-- everyone left very full and happy! I will absolutely be back soon, can't wait to see what else this creative team has up their sleeves!
