    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.

    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!

    Carrot cake. Took a couple bites, before the pic was taken!

    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.

    Chorizo omelette with English muffin and protein omlette
    Whitnee D.

    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!

    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.

    Shrimp Limone Pasta

    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.

    Notice the much higher prices
    Doug R.

    Very disappointed in the remodel and new menu: - No breakfast - No baked goods - Significant price increases; $20 for a gyro? Um, no. Food is very good, but value is poor.

    Homemade bread (closeup) crusty on the outside, pillowy on the inside. Amazing!

    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!

    Chicken Parmigian
    Barbara M.

    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.

If you are charging $85 for lamb chops and $65 for scallops all parties should be aware. The host won't ask and the guest doesn't typically want to order the most exp thing on menu. Would I have still had scallops instead of the awesome $39 clams and linguine? Who knows. I inquired whether I should bring in a cake and was told they would do a sparkler and dessert. They did and charged me $18. I presented my Amex as I visited the powder room and planned to handle away from table. They put it on the table. This removed any opportunity to question anything. We eat out a lot and are fine dining foodies. The staff was friendly, food was hot and good but I'm not sure it takes a lot of skill to shake some Grey Goose with ice and pour into a martini glass vs $21 for a curated cocktail that takes skill and chemistry. Will I go back? Yes, but I'll walk not run. And please bring the grilled octopus back. I did run back for that and it wasn't on menu.

The first was delivery and it arrived perfectly prepared and exactly as ordered. I went with the seafood pasta and my family split an order or arancini. Everything was excellent. A few weeks later I came back through for dinner with some friends and we landed on the heated patio. It was cozy and comfortable. We split the bruschetta with prosciutto, goat cheese, and fig spread. Very good! For my entree I went with the asiago baci, little purses of an asiago and ricotta stuffed pasta tossed in a garlic cream sauce with tomatoes and asparagus. So so good! And a nice sized portion as well. For dessert we split a slice of the lemon torte. Light and delicious. The perfect end to the meal.

My husband got the tiramisu and I got the chocolate cake. I guess the tiramisu was just ok. I loved the chocolate cake. On our second visit, we tried the Rigatoni Caprino and the Chicken Marsala Florentine. Of the two, we liked the rigatoni better. It had that super red sauce on it. The sausage was on point, and the goat cheese complimented the rest of the dish so well. The marsala was good, though my husband I agreed we had both had better. The sauce just lacked something. My husband wasn't that impressed with the Crème Brûlée cheesecake, and wouldn't order it again.

So definitely a mistake we got charged for, but it didn't matter because the kids ate it all anyway. The Tartufo Dark was the standout!

We got the tableside Caesar salad - again pricey, $20 per person and if it's for two people you can get it tableside (which was REALLY cool btw) but if for 3+ people I don't think you can.

Both were very good - the tiramisu isn't large by any means but is enough for 1-2 people. The drink comes with a huge ladyfinger on top. Overall I was very impressed by the food, atmosphere, and waitstaff here - it's not an inexpensive place ($40 for two salads is a bit pricey!) but everything was fabulous, and I definitely want to return at some point. There's also a wine bar next door, I believe, and I didn't know that Prime 29, Nara, and a few other local restaurants are all in the same restaurant group/ownership as Aurora.
