    We were in town for a concert at the music theater on the same block. We could make reservations. There was a public parking lot right across from the restaurant which was great! Nice to have all in walking distance to eachother. The service was prompt and so nice. The food was excellent. So many great options and reasonable pricing. I had the gnocchi and added herb crusted chicken in Alfredo sauce! Phenomenal. My husband had the shrimp scampi ravioli and loved his as well. If we are in the area again- it’ll be a no brainer for where we will eat!

    I love this place! Food is amazing! We had a reservation at 8 and showed up early go grab drinks, we were able to get seated right away which was great. This time around the service wasn’t the best. We didnt have silverware and the server seemed like he was having a bad night. It happens though so no worries at all!

    2 visits in 2 days. Saturday night dinner was excellent. I had the chicken Cavatappi and my wife had the shrimp ravioli both of which were superb. Service from Artemis was amazing as always. Sunday brunch was the first in some time and our out of town friends flipped over the food. And the value is unmatched.

    Brunch was subpar- nothing really stood out or made us really impressed. They also had pretty loud music on a Sunday and we were unable to have conversation at the table. The service was also just so-so; they may have been understaffed or busy. I usually love dinner at D’Amatos, so I was unfortunately disappointed with brunch.

    We had an early Sunday . The service was prompt and our waiter his insights on the menu. The menu had a combination of traditional brunch items as well as some of their own creations. The food was hot when we were served and the food was delicious. By the time we finished, a two piece combo had started playing which was a nice touch.

    Best Italian food in the Detroit area. I have finally found a restaurant with tasty tomato spaghetti sauce where they are nor afraid to put enough sauce on your spaghetti. The spaghetti was a side dish with the Chicken Parmesan, which was also delicious. My friend ordered the Caprese Ravioli and loved it. Btw they also serve good adult beverages and fabulous donuts for dessert. 😋

    First and Last time here. I took one bite of the Chicken Marsala, which I had been craving for weeks, and asked for a carryout box. I don't like Olive Garden, but I remember their Chicken Marsala tasting much better, when my Boss bought it for me as a gift 6 years ago Nothing tasted authentic Italian. Everything tasted like a frozen dinner Italian meal. The Marsala sauce was unlike anything I ever had, and not in a good way. The Server was awesome and saw the look on my face and knew something was wrong. I told her I would pay for the meal as my boyfriend will eat anytthing and I knew he would be hungry when I got home. Ordered buffalo cheese, because I was obviously still hungry. It tasted even worse. In fact, absolutely looked like a frozen mozzarella cheese dish I could have bought and popped in the deep fryer. Totally left it on the table, loved my bf too much to bring that one home as a leftover. Ordered the bruchetta and the taste was off, but edible, plus I was starving. I ate every bit. Server comp'd me a cocktail and the cheese dish. My bill was still over $50 and it was just me. I left hungry and unsatisfied. Boyfriend took one bite of my leftover and agreed with me, but he ate it anyway.

    A delight! In today's food scene some restaurants are just trying to dotoo much, but not D’Amato’s. The restaurant does what its good at, and that’s classic Italian American and they are doing it well. Food was beautiful and balanced. We had chicken Parmesan and zucchini noodle marinara. The zucchini noodles were spot on. They were think or wet. They had texture and were a great gluten free substitute. This restaurant is authentic to itself. No dazzle dazzle just good food and GREAT service. Every employee we interacted with seemed happy to be there.
