Great time celebrating birthday kickoff at Gaudinos! This place is adorable in every way. Gaudino's serves as a market and eatery. They have a huge deli area with grab and go items from speciality meats, cheeses, wine, and Italian prepared food selections. They have a cute covered heated patio area for dining. I was excited to enjoy a romantic birthday dinner. We ordered a few drinks...of course, I wanted some bubbles and he decided on a mule. We decided to choose a few entrees to share. The pizza was very good and the pasta, quite tasty. Of course we ended our night with a piece of tiramisu and Spanish coffee to keep us toasty. I think we both agreed that the tiramisu was the best item on the menu. Hahaaa On a side note: Bill, the manager, is fantastic! He went above and beyond to accommodate my birthday celebration. read more

Excellent food, well prepared. Quite a unique restaurant, grocery , deli experience. Wonderful tiramisu dessert. Can be a bit loud when kids are running around, as tables as very close. read more

First time eating here. We tried their signature Pizza and Bolognese. It was excellent. Next we will get a reservation as it assures you a better table. The price was very reasonable and the server knew the menu well. Wine selection was small but had quality choices. A full bar as well as a deli that sold meats and other dishes to carry home. Can't wait to eat here again. read more

Always have had a great in-person dining experience. They have a deli and bakery right in the middle of the restaurant, which is so fun to peruse before food arrives, and they also sell items such as sausage and fresh bread. Their menu is on-trend and always delicious. They have an abbreviated menu for carry-out, which is still delicious and suitable for everyone. We got the calamari appetizer, margarita pizza, and tortellini bianca tonight and it didn't disappoint. Very flavorful and my tortellini was filling. Looking forward to hopefully going back to in-person dining soon! read more

Excellent food, nice menu choices, wait staff is friendly, fun to shop the meat counter, but menu is fairly pricey.

Good, not great. Different concept, with deli in middle of restaurant about a 10 minute wait- with 8 pm reservation. Started with a bottle of Pinot noir, pretty good. Shared egg plant Parmesan and lamb chop dinners. Chops were winner of the two. Encrusted with pistachios - tasted good. Eggplant did nothing for me- came with small amount of pasta. Ok salads included. Chose spinach as aside with the chops. Bread, olive oil and cheese- good also. $105 with tip. Service was good. read more

Delicious. Marvelous. Spectacular. Went for an anniversary date. Very clean and comfortable environment. Drinks and wine were delicious. I got the JoMarie martini and espresso martini! So yummy. If you like a creamy espresso martini, best one I've had is here. Langostino pasta was very scrumptious. Large portion on your plate, lots of langostini - creamy delicious pesto sauce. Tiramisu was spot on. "Spectacular, give me 14 of them right now (TikTok reference)". Recommend getting it with salted caramel gelato. Excellent service, we never had an empty water glass. Will come here again! read more

Beautiful, clean, new restaurant ! Stepping inside I forgot I'm in my neighborhood , felt like I was in a different trendy city or vacation. This I did like I wouldn't come back for the Food though. The caprese had barely any pesto on it - although the waitress had no problem promptly bringing me another side . The presentation was beautiful . I don't like gnocchi so I was able to substitute the spinach and cheese ravioli (was here for lunch) in the primavera sauce. The sauce tasted like Campbells tomato soup I was hoping for more of a seasoned flavor with garlic The iced Americana with Carmel shot was delicious . My server was a doll, made for a pleasant experience There was no wait - I sat on the screened in patio I think if they used the feedback and tweaked the food the restraint has potential because the concept of market with a dining experience is something you don't get to experience much. The food just needs more flavor !! I don't see anything wrong with the portions I had leftovers to take home . After tipping my lunch was $35 for just myself and I didn't love any of the dishes . read more

Excellent! The filet is especially delicious! Great atmosphere and service. Gaudino's is in our rotation!

The meatball sub was delicious!!! Everything in the restaurant looked amazing and the staff were very friendly. Will definitely be back to try more items on the menu. read more

I had their Italian Panini/Sub and it was better than Ventimiglia's which is known and popular. The sub roll had a nice crunch to it and the dressing was a solid match. The staff/customer service was great and the other foods look good. I will be back to try more. read more

One of my favorite Italian restaurants on the East side. I literally dream about their Porcellino dish. It's a beautiful blend of their home made sausage, Arugula, Cream, Tomatoes, tossed with Rigatoni. I always start with the Rustica salad, which includes, Mixed Greens, Soppressata, Red Onion, Artichokes, Gorganzola, Olives tossed in Balsamic Vinaigrette. During the shutdown, they've added family dinners to feed four. Great food, excellent value, awesome people. read more

Love the look of the building inside as well as the outside. Really nice crisp clean lines with beautiful decorations. Deli is really nice, a bit expensive. With Nino Salvaggio right across the street I know where I am going. The ravioli was really well done. Spinach was prepared well and the cheeses used in and on top of the ravioli were really good. The appetizer of bread and olive was good, better if the bread would have been warm and the olive oil Greek (just my preference). I enjoyed next time I want real Italian food in the area I know where to go. read more

This place is a GEM! So so many things to choose from. Carry out from the deli, have a beer or glass of wine at the counter or pasta bolognese to go! You can sit inside, or outside in the right weather. Subs, pizza, olives, desserts, pasta.. shop for pasta, Italian breadsticks, desserts! We will be back! read more

That they are open today. Drove down from Grand Blanc just to experience the Italian atmosphere. Great place. We haven't ordered yet so I'm at a loss as what to order. read more

Mmmmm so delicious! I recommend making reservations for SURE. We tried to get in at 5:45 on a Saturday, but they didn't have an opening until 7, so we went down the street for a drink while we waited. I got the raviolis- it was crazy good!!!! Prices are just right, and the service was amazing. It's a semi-formal kind of place. I love that they have a little market so you can take some stuff home! We will certainly be back! read more

The Italian sandwich is so delicious I had it two weeks in a row. I Highly recommend !!

Excellent local Italian restaurant!!! The Italian wedding soup is delicious! Ravioli was excellent! Everything is homemade and they always get their carry out orders correct. Highly recommend! read more

We have been waiting for the crowds to subside from the newness, but the crowds have not subsided, so we ventured to Gaudinos tonight. We opted to sit at the counter/bar & have dinner there. A young lady named April took care of us in more that fabulous service. The owners are on site & have a welcoming & witty way about them. Food was great, & wine selection was perfect. Desserts were too good for words, so try them yourself. They are also a market & we will be heading back tomorrow to purchase their speciality items. Overall a very enjoyable evening... read more

Awesome food, service and wine! We ordered a pasta and filet, with a bottle of red wine. One of the best meals I've had in a while!

I've been for lunch and it was good, but recently went for dinner and it was AMAZING. Our waitress was perfect - answering questions and helping us decide all while never rushing us or pushing us into any dish in particular. The food? So good. The portions? generous. The salted caramel gelato? Great! Will be back. read more

Slipping slipping big time I'm very sad to have spent almost $200 here for a meal that was fine I suppose but so lack luster. The dishes used to be far more exciting and complete feeling. Three of the items we got were technically different menu items but aside from chicken on one of them you'd never be able to tell. It was sad - especially because it was supposed to be a special night out for a celebration and the food did not do anything to warrant the price nor did it feel like a time we'll spent. Highly disappointed and won't be returning read more

The food here is great! Have eaten here several times and loved it! Dinners are lovely. Lunches are great! Sandwiches and salads are fresh and tasty. And the tiramisu and chocolate torte are a must try!! Also, their outdoor patio is pleasant for those of us not dining inside these days. read more

Their hanger steak meal is one that I crave. The portions are a good size, the atmosphere is modern and intimate, and the desserts in the counter were a great way to cap the meal. Our server JoJo is one of the best. It will make our main rotation of local restaurants. read more

Oh man, this restaurant is underrated. I went here for my birthday because I know someone else who did and we've driven by a hundred times. Let me tell you, St. Clair Shores and the Grosse Pointes have some crappy restaurants. I haven't rated any above 4 stars. But this one is a 5. The atmosphere is super fun, the service was excellent and the employees were all so nice. The food was great, authentic Italian without being stuck-up and fancy. We each got a pizza and both were great, as was the complimentary bread and oil appetizer. Two of us ate 1.5 pizzas and we took the rest home. If you have people visiting from out of town and want to show them somewhere unique and fun, this is the place! read more

All around pretty decent and fresh food. No complaints with the hygiene or presentation, but the wait times and the staff's attitude is a bit lackluster , I also did a bunch of refurbishment work to the restaraunt and never once did they offer me a snack or even a glass of water. Which I found to be highly rude. read more

Haven't been to Gaudino's for a while. Went with family members. Very disappointed. Prices have gone way up. I know all restaurants have raised their prices. However their prices were ridicules for what you get. Had to pay extra for pasta with the dinner. Salad was just lettuce and dressing. The server had an attitude. Did not even want to leave her a tip. Won't be back. Rather go to Salvatore Scallopini. The food is much better. read more

This place looks snazzy on the outside, I bet you wouldn't believe that it's a market and a restaurant too! The staff are super nice and friendly as well as helpful. This is pretty good Italian cuisine and pretty authentic! Everything is fresh from the salads to the pasta! Stop and give this place a try, the proportions are pretty big and you will have a carry out box. read more

Looking for AMAZING subs and homemade Italian food items? (they have a market as well) Search no more! The sandwiches are first class! Worth the drive if you are in the vicinity! You WILL NOT be disappointed. Sal is a master sandwich maker! Best in the area - by far! read more

Food is fresh and delicious. You can tell it's homemade in house. I recommend one of the sandwiches on the lunch menu with their homemade bread or the oven roasted pizza on the dinner menu with their homemade crust. read more

I have been here several times, and the food and service was always exceptional. The Pasta Campagna has the most amazing braised short rib ragu. It's rich and dense, and would easily feed two if an appetizer was ordered. The house-made sausage appetizer came with sauteed peppers and onions; if you have one or two left over, they would make a great sausage sub at home. The arugula salad is excellent and plentiful, definitely enough for several people. My niece had an individual pizza that she devoured. The tiramisu was divine, and even if I had been there with someone else I would not have shared. Be sure to get your own! The porcellino pasta was not as good - not enough sausage and too much watery sauce. It was still tasty, but I would not order it again. That's the only disappointment The market is great. I have bought some of their dried pasta and the Puttanesca sauce. I also got two sausages for cooking at home - both were fresh and delicious. The spicy sausage was just that - spicy! The carry-out menu includes family-sized meals that serve four. If you want a great dinner but don't want to cook it, order a meal half an hour ahead of time and your family will thank you. I'm sorry I don't have any pictures - it only occurs to me after I've cleaned my plate. read more

Great food, home-style atmosphere. A couple of suggestions to elevate the experience-the host looked darn miserable being there. Rather than tossing the menus on the table and sulking away, it would have been appropriate to pull out my chair and tell us to enjoy our dinner. You lose points for that. The bread should be warm and crusty instead of cold like it came from the cooler. These two very small things could have earned an additional star from me. Also, the veal chop for $59 should have a small side of pasta with it like all meat dishes should, it would cost almost nothing to elevate the special. read more

Wonderful night at a great LOCAL business! Service was top notch. Staff promptly gave us drinks while we waited for our table. Patio was warm and comfortable. Food was delicious as always. First night out in a while and Guadinos made it so worth it, even while having to conform to the "new normal". We will definitely be coming back again soon! Chao! read more

This is the best restaurant in Saint Clair Shores. The environment, the staff, the food is all top notch.

I am 100% Italian born and raised, and the food is absolutely exceptional and authentic. Closest thing to my mother's cooking I've ever had, and I highly recommend it! read more

A great Italian restaurant and market. If you enjoy a meal, you can purchase the ingredients from the market before you leave and make it at home. They make on of the best Italian subs in the area. read more

Love the idea of a market and fine restaurant all in one. It's a really nice spot! I loved the wine and charcuterie during happy hour, ($1 off wine and 1/2 off apps), but the food is pretty pricy otherwise. An awesome place for the Italian food enthusiast! There's gluten free pizza and pasta available if you ask!! read more
