    Mount Clemens Spring Art & Craft Show - What! There's a festival? okay...

    Fantastic Art and Craft Show. This is the one we never want to miss. We make a list of gifts and…read morethings for the house - or jewelry - that we're looking for, and we always find surprises. This past Show, we went back the second day, as there were booths we needed to go back to, as we realized we'd seen items that would be really good gifts for specific people. We saw beautiful handmade resin jewelry - including tiny leaves done in resin. There were hand-made wood bird houses and feeders in shapes of cats and birds and faces. There were many booths with art made from embroidery, chrochet, and knitting, there were photographic and painted art, and so much more. The whole event is arranged nicely, with plenty of shade, good parking, and the best quality of arts and crafts. We've marked our calendars for next year's show.

    The Spring Art and Craft Show coincides with Mother's Day every year. That being said, it is geared…read moreto mothers. Macomb Place is closed down in festival fashion, and vendors come in to peddle their wares. I was surprised at the lack of food here - they had kettle corn, and a few grillers, and that was about it. The vendors this year looked like they were catering to mothers even more so than last year. Cheesy things you'd expect at one of these: a guy doing caricatures for $5, incense and incense holders, candles, pottery, plants, garden supplies, and so on - HOME stuff, and a lot of it looked like things I'd find in my grandmother's backyard. There was one highlight to the afternoon - in the fountain Gazebo a band was playing. I was leaving when they began to play, but came back after I realized they were playing a sort of Cabana version of Gnarles Barkley's "Crazy". That was pretty sweet, and they had a good sense of humor about it. I'd suggest this festival for a Mother's Day-ish afternoon out, but not for the young and hip. There's very little young and hip in it.

    Absolutely amazing experience! The food was delicious from start to finish. I had the cheese…read moreravioli with palomino sauce, and it was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. My husband ordered the spaghetti and meatballs, which were just as incredible--classic, hearty, and done right. To top it off, we had the tiramisu for dessert, and you can truly tell it was made from scratch--fresh, rich, and the perfect ending to our meal. Everything we ordered was outstanding. We will definitely be coming back! Highly recommend! Service was amazing! Definitely will come back and get the same server to our table! As for the ambiance, it's somewhat outdated.

    There was three of us that came to celebrate a birthday on Saturday 1-24-26. We had made…read morereservations for 6 PM but had to wait over 30 minutes for our table to be ready. It was packed inside and when we inquired on the wait time the hostess mentioned people were staying long and they were very behind. Once we finally got seated we got a private booth with curtains. A warm bread basket (very delicious) quickly arrived and our drink orders taken. The drinks here are quality pours and they brought us extra olives and cherries which we thought was a nice touch. We started off with calamari and escargot for our appetizers. Calamari was plentiful and had big meaty pieces. The breading was a little too salty though. I'm used to calamari coming with a side of marinara but this came with cocktail sauce. It was nothing special and probably wouldn't order it again. The escargot, normally a favorite of mine, was to rave about either. The sauce it came in was very bland and my girlfriend ended up adding salt to it to make it taste better. Main courses were a better choice. I had the gnocchi with Palomino sauce and it was excellent. They give quite a big portion so I had enough leftovers for the next day. The birthday girl got the Veal Mamma Assunta my other friend went with the shrimp Casalinga (their house speciality). They both said they liked their choices but it wasn't anything exceptional. I think depending on what you order certain dishes are better than others. We had a good experience and the portions are large but it just seemed there were a few things lacking that could have made it a great experience. I would still recommend Luciano's but I would come here when it wasn't a busy weekend or during lunchtime.

    I hadn't visited since before Covid and remember having a lovely experience! My coworkers arranged…read morea group dinner here last week and it was still the same fantastic experience! They were great with accommodating our large group and our server was amazing! Everyone enjoyed their meal and everything was served quickly. They even gave us separate checks, which was super accommodating. I was never the biggest fan of gnocchi until coming here where the owner is making fresh ricotta gnocchi daily. He even came over to the table and checked in with us, which made the experience feel so much more personable! I ordered the eggplant parm and subbed for palomino sauce... it was incredible! Be sure to try the chicken gnocchi soup- SO good. The ambiance is dim-lit and romantic, but comforting and decorated like an intimate restaurant in Italy. They also have a great wine selection. I cannot wait to come back!

    I absolutely love gnocchi (the entree) so was excited to give a restaurant that specializes in…read moredifferent types of gnocchi my business. There was a little hiccup -- no website or photos of the menu that I could find anywhere online. I realize I might be spoiled since the pandemic but not being able to even pull up an online menu (or quickly place a to go order online via Toast) feels like a missed opportunity, especially when they offer a full to go menu. When I called the business, the woman on the phone seemed confused about our dietary restrictions (vegetarian) and when I asked what she could recommend she didn't offer all the veg options on the menu to us, even after I clarified what I meant. She seemed annoyed that I didn't know what I wanted to order without having a menu. After going on yelp and looking for recommendations I was excited to try the mushroom soup... but it was sold out (another surprise since it was barely 5pm). Ultimately what we did order - palomino gnocchi - was very tasty and generous portion size so the food gets 5 stars but the attitude was a turn off. I did get a copy of the menu to post here so others don't have to relive my pain :)
