Ardiana's is one of those unassuming neighborhood gems tucked into a shopping center off 10 Mile and Meadowbrook in Novi. From the outside you might not expect much. Inside, it's really welcoming. Clean, comfortable tables and chairs, and it looks like they recently refreshed the place with updated walls, art, and lighting. Nothing fancy, just done right. We started by sharing a Greek salad and it was very fresh, with an excellent dressing. I ordered the chicken parmigiana and it was out of this world. I honestly do not know how the chef did it, but the chicken had this incredible crispiness and freshness, with a perfect crunch that still stayed juicy. The portion was extremely generous. The pasta was excellent and the sauce was exactly what you want with chicken parm. I could not even come close to finishing the whole plate. I heard a certain renowned Italian restaurant owner loves to come here for the parm! She says no one makes it quite like Ardiana's chef. The owner, Robert, brought out a carrot cake for us to try. He said it was all organic. It was fantastic. Moist, with a great caramel sauce and walnuts. At that point I was waving the white flag because it was just too much good food. Robert also mentioned they are opening a small bar soon, which will make this place even better for a casual dinner. If you are in Novi and you want a great Italian and Mediterranean spot that over-delivers, put Ardiana's on your list. read more

Ardiana’s Restaurant - Carrot cake. Took a couple bites, before the pic was taken! - American Near Me - Novi, Michigan

We finally got a chance to check out A's and can't wait to go back. The interior of the restaurant has a sleek and minimalist vibe- perfect for a date night. On a Friday night, there were a few other patrons that dined in, so it wasn't loud. The service from start to finish was friendly and attentive. We ordered the brussel sprouts, parmesan fries, branzino, beef stroganoff and carrot cake. The bs- was delicious! It had a smokey taste that was perfect. The pf- was okay. The shape of the fry was curly, not like the typical curly fries, but thicker on one end, so a bit dry and bland. I wouldn't order this again. Although the aioli was good. The b- was delicious. I would definitely order this again. A tad bit oily, but that's to be expected. It also came with a side of roasted potatoes. The best part of the meal was definitely the bs- huge portion that just melted in your mouth! I had been seeing so many positive reviews for the cc, I was so excited to try it out. It was okay...a bit dense for me. It seemed like it was served right out of the fridge. Overall, pretty solid dinner. I'd definitely go back to try more items, including breakfast. read more

Decided to give this place a try for the first time for Easter 2026 brunch based on the other good Yelp reviews. Wanted to take my in laws to a nice brunch (they were driving over a half hour away). After researching many options in the area, the offerings sounded good. What I would give to go back and pick a different place. :( From arrival, no one greeted us so we stood at the door looking at the papers. Finally a waitress came up and asked us where we wanted to be seated. Waitress came up and said buffet was available or select menu options of two breakfast meals or pancakes. We all opted in for the buffet because that's why we booked this brunch place after all. They had no Easter decor out (okay fine not that big of a deal). The buffet foods looked like they had been sitting there for a while. The had fruit salad, salad (terribly soggy from sitting), beef, ham slices, bacon (full of fat), sausage, potatoes, bread pudding (or something of the sort), pancakes, carrot cake and bread and at least one other type of dessert. In hindsight, we did look at the buffet before moving forward but sometimes buffets taste better than they appear so we wanted to give it a chance. Once we sat down to eat, most items were lukewarm at best. Pancakes just stuck together and syrup had no flavor. Bacon was all fat and could barely get any meat. Plus pieces were ice cold. FIL immediately said that this place was not worth it. I felt embarrassed for asking them to come here and at $40 per person (adults) I expected so much better. I had to ask for a new plate (they should have had them out in my opinion since it was a buffet so you would feel welcome to eat as much as you wanted - didn't get that vibe here at all). Husband mentioned that their facebook advertising mentioned made to order omelettes. We didn't remember until we were done eating (no list of food options for buffet on table), so didn't bother to ask at this point. Waitress should have offered this option and asked if anyone was interested (at least some of us would have ordered it for sure). To be honest, I was still hungry when we left because I just didn't like the food. End of story. Not what I expected from leaving a buffet brunch but to my surprise it is what it is. Waitress was practically non existent. I get it's a holiday but we have been to brunch at other places and service was 100% better. Don't be open if you don't have the staff to serve customers. MIL asked for a cup of coffee to go (since never was asked for a refill during the meal) and waitress said she would bring a to go cup. Then she disappeared. We were done eating and FIL had to stand up and walk around to get someone's attention and then the waitress finally came. Never asked how anything was - nothing. So we paid the bill and left. No to go cup of coffee given. Total was just shy of $200 for 4 adult brunch meals, 2 cups of coffee and 1 mimosa. In laws comment on way out was well at least we ate something today just not worth the cost and sub par food at best. Luckily we gave them some dessert goodies from a local bakery and they said that will be better than the meal. So embarrassed still for inviting them here! It wasn't busy at all! Should have also been not a good sign when we arrived. In fact, another couple sat next to us, looked at buffet options and ended up leaving and said not interested. Wish we would have done the same as could have had a much better meal elsewhere! Also, worth mentioning, the place is not very large inside. It's located in a strip mall by Busch's and they have a mix of couches and chairs. Beautifully decorated but doesn't really matter when everything else falls flat. Hopefully their non holiday food and service is better. But for almost $200 for 4 people not worth it! Don't do brunch here! read more

Fabulous food! I had the Shrimp Limone Paste - great lemon flavor with the mascarpone! Shrimp done just right! Had to try the carrot cake based on previous reviews - it was delightful. read more

Ardiana’s Restaurant - Shrimp Limone Pasta - American Near Me - Novi, Michigan

It's dead inside, one other party that knows the owner or manager. Fother couples walked in after us and some carry out orders too. I think the construction may cause keep some customers away. Meadowbrook is down to one lane and is a mess. The decor is simple elegance. I do like the giant mirror to make it look bigger. We were seated at a table top. The whole place is open, would have been nice at the booth, but the two-top booths are next to another two top. Ordered roasted Brussels sprouts, Athenian salad added pepperoncini, side Caesar salad, no croutons, chicken kebab, extraordinary Mac and cheese, goat cheese chicken. $102.03 The big glass with water in it at the center of our table looks like a giant glass of water. The house bread is warm, quite chewy, has the texture of hardened mozzarella. It's dense too. Not for me. The Brussel sprouts aren't bad. Could be cut into smaller bits or thinner slices. Nicely cook. The bacon is nicely browned for my hubby. Balsamic glaze is just the right amount. The Athenian salad is good, needs more flavor in the dressing though, it's a tad bland. I like the fresh dill. Not loving the iceberg lettuce much. Some burnt reddish iceberg pieces The Caesar salad is okay, not enough dressing and the lettuce is a mix of iceberg and romaine. My husband wished he had known to ask for romaine only, he said the iceberg shouldn't be in his salad at all. It was. The goat cheese chicken is good. Fettuccine noodles, sauce is rich and creamy. The chicken kebab is nice and tender, simple but good flavor, it's good. Veggies are nicely grilled with a bit of char. The extraordinary Mac and cheese is just okay, cheese sauce is good. A nice crust on the top and spiral or shell noodles would make better. My husband at least liked it. Service is so-so. Took a bit to get our bill picked up and card taken to run it. The Brussel sprouts, goat cheese and chicken kebab are all pretty good. Skip the Mac and cheese and ask for romaine only, should you get a salad. read more

They just keep getting better and better! Ardiana is a pastry chef wizard! Her carrot cake with caramel sauce is TO. DIE. FOR!!! Whatever you do, save room for dessert! We went for a birthday celebration and this is the place to impress for food, friendly and quality service - and a beautiful facelift inside. We had the eggplant Parmesan as an entree and it was three thick, delicious, crispy pieces. Yes you can gave this as an entree. If you think you need something else, add a side to it. The Ardiana Pasta is another show stopper. I asked to add salmon and it almost brought tears to my eyes. All the veggies in the pasta are sautéed first so they add a wonderful flavor. So creamy, tomato forward, elegant past dish. The chicken Parmesan is a meal for two (or Three). The chicken is cooked perfect, still juicy AND crispy. Pasta is delicious!! We learned they've received their liquor license so can't wait to come back and enjoy a glass a wine as a compliment to the dishes. The coffee is delicious too! read more

This restaurant is truly a hidden gem! Very well decorated with a warm and friendly atmosphere. Our waitress was also extremely kind and knowledgeable of the menu. I truly enjoyed my chorizo omelette with jalapeño, onion, cheese, pico de gallo, salsa verde and avocado. It comes with a homemade corn tortilla but I opted for an English muffin which was one of the best I have ever had. My friend enjoyed her protein omelette made with grilled chicken breast, egg whites, spinach, tomatoes and feta with a side of potatoes. I look forward to coming back! read more

A good friend of mine invited me to have lunch with him here. I didn't think much of the restaurant from the outside so I wasn't really expecting to have anything unique or special. I didn't take pictures of the dining area because it was quite small and there were a handful of people eating, so I didn't want to make anyone feel uneasy. But I do want to confirm that it's a nice, clean looking restaurant and appears better inside. I initially thought I was going to a generic American style family restaurant, but the menu here is actually quite robust. I was getting an Eastern European/Mediterranean vibe from the menu, but they also had some Mexican inspired dishes funny enough. For my meal I got the barbacoa breakfast bowl. Between my friend and I we waited awhile before I food came out to the point where I felt we ran out of stuff to talk about. But after getting passed that I was pleasantly surprised by my food. The shredded tender beef and the crispy potatos were the highlights of this dish, and all the other fresh ingredients perfectly rounded them up but cutting the richness of them. I was amazed that I finished this thing considering how big it was, but it was too good. Definitely looking forward to coming back in the future. read more

The food is good but the prices are high for what you get. $35 for lamb shank which was smaller than most with no dinner and a dinner salad that is extra. Recently had the goat cheese chicken and again salad was extra. My wife had the Mediterranean salad and no apps and no drinks however we did order a piece of carrot cake to go but the bill was $77 out the door. The food was good but In relation ship to value it was expensive. Since it is close we will stop by and try other things on the menu at some point. Service was decent the same with the atmosphere. read more

Nice, simple ambiance. Good food and very nice staff. I had a pasta dish that was good. The pasta was on the soft side (not al dente) but that's how I prefer it. Good sized portions. I would go back next time I'm on the area. read more

This was our first visit to Ardiana's. It was a wonderful experience . The decor is beautiful . An amazing menu and delicious food . Service was wonderful read more

My son and I had the chance to grab some take out last night and the food was more wonderful than we remembered from our last visit. We were greeted with a warm welcome and a smile, waited inside the beautiful dining area while others finished their meals and conversations with friends and family. The owner and chef came out to greet us, ask about family and thank us for visiting. We drove home excited to eat our dinner and happy we made the right choice. Food was amazing: warm, fresh, flavorful, homemade... I wish Ardiana was my personal chef! read more

This place was surprisingly good. The portions are generous and fresh. Everything is made to order, so be prepared to wait a bit if you have a big group. Of note the floorplan is very open and easy for wheelchairs to navigate. The servers were very accommodating and patient. They kept our waters filled and let us take our time. The owner even came out from the kitchen and checked in on us. I had the chicken avocado wrap and it was very good, but it was a tough decision as many of the breakfast items passing by looked SO good. My kids had a breakfast bowl and a plain chicken wrap. Oh, and of course, they had to try the pancakes. I substituted the fries for the house soup of the day, which was a Toscana, it was so unbelievably good, I would come back just for that. If you are in the area, give it a try, I like to support local business owners. Only one word of caution: it is very open and loud, so don't go there to have a quiet conversation. read more

Great experience!! Went here for my birthday with my family and all the food was great. It does take a while for it to come out, but it is worth it. Everything is very fresh and tastes great. Our drinks came out quick with great pop and alcohol options. It is chilly there so make sure to wear a jacket. We got the Ardiana' salad and steak tips to start which were both great. My grandma cannot have a lot of salt and they gave her a simple salad with olive oil and balsamic vinegar too which she loved. We also got chicken Parmesan (I didn't try it but my brother said it was the best chicken Parmesan he's ever had), goat cheese chicken which was phenomenal, chicken tenders and (great) fries, Ardiana's pasta, and the lamb shank. Everything was cooked and seasoned very well, the staff was very nice and accommodating, and we even met Ardiana herself! We also got carrot cake to go which was also amazing. Overall, I will definitely be going again and would recommend to anyone! read more

From the welcome atmosphere to the delicious homemade food, everything about Ardiana's is A+. When we met the owners, we felt like we were joining them for a family dinner. Everyone I've dined with enjoyed his/her meal. Once you try it, you will crave it. Can't wait to go back. A few of my favorites are the eggplant Parmesan, chicken Parmesan and chicken kabobs. read more

Ariana's Restaurant offers a wonderful dining experience with delicious food and creative drinks that really stand out. The birthday presentation was beautiful and made the celebration feel extra special. The atmosphere and overall experience were great, though the prices are a bit on the higher side. Overall, it's a great place for special occasions and memorable dining. read more

Good service and great food. Chicken and avocado wrap (on the lunch menu) was yummy and grilled hot (like a burrito). The Michigan salad was slightly expensive at $18 but was a huge portion and catering quality. Refilled my ice tea no questions asked. Answered my dining partner's questions. Kind of fancy and upscale inside with white tables and a chandelier - but don't let that deter you. read more

A newly restored dining room. Very clean and welcoming. I had the chicken parmesan with spaghetti. Enormous portion. My daughter had the salmon atop Alfredo pasta. Both entries were excellent. Staff was very nice and prompt. Highly recommend. read more

You can tell when you walk in that it's not a chain restaurant. I called for a take out and whoever I spoke with was extremely nice. There were 2 doordash people there also waiting for orders while I waited (only a few minutes). I had to work in the area today and wanted to check it out. It was very good. Huge chicken parm. I look at reviews and they say - this is expensive.But this is comparable to every other italian restaurant I've looked at. It's now the world we live in. And if I work all day without eating (which is often) I'm always looking for a new place to eat. read more

I can't believe it took me this long to try Adriana's! It seems they have had some recent renovations since it doesn't look anything like the photos posted here anymore (I forgot to take interior photos to post). The menu is also different (see attached). I ordered the limoncello pancakes which were absolutely perfect. Service was great. I don't think many know bout this place since we were able to be seated immediately on a Saturday morning! We will certainly be back! read more

Absolutely amazing!!!! We came Saturday at 12:30pm and we as offered the brunch menu. I had the Nutella pancakes. My son had the caramel banana waffle and a side of sauasage. Both meals were absolutely delicious! I ordered syrup but didn't even use it. Portion sizes were large and neither of us is finished our meals. The interior of the restaurant is beautifully decorated with marble table tops, comfortable leather couches, padded chairs. Very high end feel with reasonable pricing! ($15 for each of ours orders, $6 for side of sausage, and $3.50 for Diet Coke). Service was friendly and fast. I would recommend as a nice restaurant for a date! read more

Ardiana's is a homey family restaurant with comfort food favorites. I go there for a nice meal and wait for my car to be serviced across the road at Sovel's. My first time there, I had a waitress who didn't give me bread and had to be reminded to bring out my soup. Despite the mediocre service, I enjoyed my Lemon Rice Soup and Shrimp Alfredo Pasta. The portion size of the pasta is large, with a good amount of shrimp, and it comes out hot and seasoned with parsley and parmesan cheese. The second time I visited, I had a much better waitress named Juliet. She was more attentive and gave me bread and soup. I enjoyed the Los Altos Benedict and will be returning to try more items on the breakfast menu. The Goat Cheese Chicken comes with alfredo pasta. Even though it was plain chicken breast, the goat cheese, basil, and sundried tomatoes gave it more flavor. I like the alfredo pasta at Ardiana and recommend trying a dish that includes it, if not one of the alfredo pasta main dishes. There is nothing fancy about Ardiana's, but it's a casual family-owned diner that is becoming less common in upper-middle-class cities like Novi. I can see why it is popular with the locals. read more

Stopped by to get their fabulous Eggs Benedict but it was afternoon and they had stopped serving breakfast as it was during the week. The host immediately came over and explained and apologized but I had already seen a couple of items on the menu that caught my eye so no problem! Waitress took our orders and then brought out some fresh warm bread - oh my gosh, Great! I ordered "Croque Madam" that is similar to Eggs Benedict and it was amazing! My wife ordered vegetable soup and a daily special sandwich that was actually incredible too. We have eaten there several times now and food is always great with good portions, fast service, and friendly waitstaff. Owner and chef walk around and talk to customers when they have time. Freshly redecorated and very nice on inside....Never had a bad meal here! PS - cool Hallmark gift shop next door too! read more

The absolute best tuna fish sandwich I've ever had! Highly recommend! I even got to meet Ardiana the owner.

Excellent entrees, appetizer ambiance and service. We'll be back soon. Glad Fr. John Riccardo from ACTS XXIX sent us here to enjoy.

Ardiana's Restaurant has reopened and is newly renovated! The atmosphere is beautiful and modern, and the same favorite food items still have their place on the menu. Ardiana and her daughter Marissa have done an amazing job with the reconstruction. Throughout the week they offer phenomenal lunch and dinner options while having an additional breakfast menu for Saturday and Sunday. Ardiana's still has her fresh homemade desserts including various cookies, lemon cake, brownies, and her famous carrot cake! They are open 11am-9pm on weekdays and open at 9am on Saturday and Sunday I would reccomend this spot for anyone wanting fresh, handcrafted dishes that you will never get bored of! read more

I might have to give this place another try.. I looked up crêpe near me and this was the most promising location, offering, four or five different options on the menu. I ordered a Limoncello crêpe with berries on top. my boyfriend ordered a apricot goat cheese, crêpe. mine was good, but too sweet. The berries on top was nice. it seemed to be soaked in sugar or something and not too much lemon. I was disappointed because I love lemon and was looking forward to the lemon.. it seemed to have two little areas with it there. now my boyfriend is apricot goat cheese crêpe was an insult. I really don't know where to start with it because it was a plain crêpe with apricot water down jelly drizzled on top, one piece of apricot, and then inside, it was hard to find the goat cheese I think there was maybe two chunks of goat cheese in there. It was like they forgot to put it in or they ran out or something , he was looking forward to the goat cheese and he took maybe two bites of it and now it's sitting here and he doesn't want it. It's a bummer because we live 25 minutes away I feel like I could make better crêpes at home and the apricot jam or jelly. Seems like they just put maple syrup in there to send it out a little to drizzle it on top. in fact, if I can figure out how to make a crêpe the proper way, I know I can do much better, and I'm not a cook at all. The service was fast and we ordered at like eight or nine in the morning so they weren't very busy and it's a weekend so that makes me wonder as well. Our food was ready when I got their service was fast and I loved the atmosphere because they had plants everywhere, and the plants seemed well taken care of so this place really seemed promising!! I'm so disappointed though I don't know whether to call up there but then again I don't know what they can do for me because I'm not willing to drive another 25 minutes back out there I have a lot of things to do unfortunately. maybe this place was not for us we were so excited to try it though read more

This is my place for Sunday brunch. Adriana gets here about 3AM and starts baking. Everything is home made with the freshest ingredients and the taste is incredible. My favorite is the chorizo omelet...a bit of spice that makes it nice (for me). I don't think I've ever had better. My partner's fav is the protein omelet which has delicious flavorful (may be marinated) chicken bits to make it interesting. Just a tad more expensive than the local Coney Island but absolutely worth it. read more
