    So I don't know where to start, but Buddies Pizza is fantastic. I feel like I am a weirdo because I love their salads, and their vinaigrette dressing is the bomb. I have got pizza from another place and picked up a salad from here. Pizza is pretty fantastic, but I don't want you to think I have cheated on buddies with another pizza with their salads. Anywho buddies are the best Suppose you have not had it. Wow, you are missing out!

    Too good forgot to take pic lol

    Never again. Pizza was undercooked and soggy and we found a dog hair in the pizza. Avoid at all costs.

    First time having Detroit style pizza and it did not disappoint. The pizza crust and basil sauce are the best parts!

    I met a group of friends here for dinner. Most of the group got zucchini noodles with various…read moretoppings. I had the honey-peppered beef angus brisket. It was a bunch of things I would never think to put together (the brisket, orzo "mac" and cheese, fried onions & molasses bbq sauce) and it was really good. My only real complaints are that they charge for bread and for salad. I guess charging for bread is becoming a thing; this is the second restaurant I've been to recently where they've done that. If their menu prices were lower, I could understand it, but with entrees at $20 - $40, I would expect at least a piece of bread and an accompanying vegetable.

    This was our second date night at D'Amato's. The service was excellent. I'm pretty sure we had the…read moresame waitress last time, and she was great at checking in on us and making sure our glasses were full. The atmosphere of D'Amato's is nice. It's great for a casual date or a nice meal with friends. We started with the bread board which was alright. I think they described the bread as focaccia, so I was expecting a bread with more of a crunchy crust and the classic dimples on top. However, this bread was fluffy and soft, but it was still very good. I'm not sure if I would get it again since it felt like a bread board I could put together at home. I preferred the bruschetta we got last time. For my entree, I went with the chicken parm which was very good. The chicken was coated well and the sauce was delicious. Overall, this is a great spot for Italian food in Royal Oak, and we'll be back for future date nights.

All were medium-small plates but were flavor-packed without being overly-salty or saucy, which I appreciated. The cheese pizza surprisingly was the winner. Thin crust with just the right amount of crunch, nice melted mozzarella cheese, soft and nice texture to the mouth. Beef Ragu and Shrimp Arrabbiata were also winners. The shrimp pasta was actually spicy, so be aware as there were some jalapeños, but it was a pleasant spice and was not overwhelming. I did not expect this but it wasn't bad, but maybe would have liked the warning. The Beef pasta was great with nice shredded beef with red sauce and square pasta that you could tell was home made. Pistachio cheesecake was a little off in that it didn't really taste like pistachio and was a bit sweet and artificial to me. Service: attentive. Waitress was nice and handled all my questions. Answers she didn't know she went and asked. However despite this she did not get my order right as I wanted the veal but she somehow heard I wanted a second beef ragu. We were in a rush so didn't want the dish re-made so just went a head with 3 dishes for the 4 ppl in our party which surprisingly was enough. She apologized appropriately. Manager/higher staff also came around and made sure our food was good. Ambiance: Dim/dark. Quiet despite some chitter-chatter. Good seating inside and outside and downstairs and upstairs.

I also ordered Carbonara because I was craving that and didn't want to make it at home. They put CREAM in their Carbonara, which is a culinary SIN. They might know how to make fresh pasta, which is easy, but to destroy that dish by adding cream shows they have zero skills with regard to Carbonara. The silkiness of the sauce is created by adding small amounts of pasta water, parmesan, stirring constantly until it's creamy. Suffice to say, I won't be dining in their restaurant. If diners in MI were more discerning, maybe one day it would be feasible for a restauranteur to receive a James Beard award. Don't hold your breath though.

I got the "burnt orange espresso tonic" and a "rosemary biscuit". Both were amazing. The biscuit was warm and buttery and the included jam (which appeared house made) was the perfect compliment. The flavors were all distinct but complimentary and made this into a spectacular treat. The espresso tonic is the best I've had. The flavor was fresh, light and fruity, with the bitterness of the coffee keeping it grounded and sophisticated. I even ate the orange slice at the end. The wait for my drink was probably about 7-10 minutes but knowing that in the future, I'm willing to plan around if the product is going to be this good. I want to come back and try the food but I will make it a point to return the next time I'm on this side of town.
