    Mushroom& tomato pizza
    Huiqing L.

    The pizzas came in generous servings with many types to choose from, and the crust was incredibly crispy. A fantastic experience overall!

    5 stars for 5 star pizza. Try the upside down slice or better yet, get a whole pie. Outstanding.

    The Pizza is very good as is the Salads, but the room is a HORROR, so if you want to go here, you are better off taking it out.

    The family special- order Cesar salad, chicken parmigiana, and penne ala vodka- all outstanding! Including the bread!

    If you come on a Saturday night, I'd recommend reservations. The decor is beautiful inside. You'd…read morenever know from the outside that it looks so elegant inside. They have valet parking. Now let's talk about the food, the tower of salad and cheese with prosciutto was well dressed. Tortelli soup hit the spot as a summer soup that included summer squash and zucchini. The carbonara needs some works, it was too soupy/watery. I really enjoyed the almond chicken. I'm not sure if was gluten free (I don't need gluten free) but if it was, this was an excellent option. They also had gluten free options for pasta.

    I went to Gran Paradiso this past Sunday. The food the last time we came was good, so we gave it…read moreanother try. It is a clean space with an older facing crowd. The server had an attitude the second he came over to us, it wasn't too busy just yet so unsure what his demeanor was about. He told us the specials and walked away. We ordered the fried calamari which came out in a timely manner. After that when we placed our entree order the server didn't come back to ask if we needed refills on anything. The entrees took a lot longer than expected. A table that came in 15 min after us got their food very fast. Once we got our entrees they were good, the food is consistently yummy here. But again our server did not come to see if we needed anything after the entrees were dropped at the table. I had the pasta with clams, it was good but lacked a flavor in the sauce. The calamari was great, crispy and flavorful. And the gnocchi bolognese was good as well, very ricotta leaning. Over all it was good but the waiter put a bad taste in one of my guests mouth which was disappointing. Overall I would give Gran paradiso another shot because they have good Italian but not rushing there due to the service.

    My sister and I had such a great experience at Nunzi's By The Water. From the moment we walked in,…read morethe service was warm, welcoming, and inviting. Our waitress made us feel completely comfortable we were laughing, having side conversations, and genuinely enjoying ourselves all night. By the end of the evening, she even said, "Goodnight, love you!" and quickly laughed saying she didn't mean to say it. That pretty much summed up the vibe of the night friendly, relaxed, and memorable. The food was excellent from start to finish. I had the Caesar salad appetizer, which was very good, and my sister had the calamari, which she said was excellent. For our entrées, we both ordered the chicken parmesan with alavaca sauce, and it was absolutely delicious. To finish the night, we shared the crème brûlée for dessert, and it was the perfect treat. The portion is definitely big enough for two people, so I wouldn't recommend ordering one per person. The location is beautiful and right by the water true to the restaurant's name. The only small thing to note is the parking. There are two parking lots, and the first one is definitely the better option. The second lot leads closer to the waterfront entrance and can feel a little tight and snug when parking. Overall, we had an amazing time and would absolutely go back. Great food, great atmosphere, and even better service.

On Saturday, My wife and I stopped in for a quick dinner and sat at the bar and met Jenny the bartender. Jenny was one of the nicest staff members that we've ever had.

Usually I order the pizza but this time I ordered the All American Burger which consisted of LTO, secret sauce, pickles, double patty smash style, brioche bun and french fries and it was delicious and it hit the spot.

The vibe of the place is great and this is my second time there. Service always seems to be great. I had a few drinks good size for the price. I got the Birria tacos, looked very good but lacked flavor for sure even after dipping it into the broth. The all America burger was amazing great huge burger flavor and cook. The fries are like five guy fries not the biggest fan I prefer crispy and coated fries. And the mussels were really good along with the grilled toasts they serve with. Would definitely get them again. Next time I'd come with a few more people or atleast one more and tries the meat lovers Detroit pizza, and some other stuff. Thanks staff
