    Outdoor view of GREAT restaurant
    M H.

    Cozy and authentic, a great spot frequented by the locals, which is a gigantic compliment. Warm host, excellent attentive and classy service, and generally convivial patrons. Cuisine! Excellent and authentic. Superior quality. I wish I lived in the area so I could be a regular, too! Want to eat here every meal!

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.

On a Friday night, there were a few other patrons that dined in, so it wasn't loud. The service from start to finish was friendly and attentive. We ordered the brussel sprouts, parmesan fries, branzino, beef stroganoff and carrot cake. The bs- was delicious! It had a smokey taste that was perfect. The pf- was okay. The shape of the fry was curly, not like the typical curly fries, but thicker on one end, so a bit dry and bland. I wouldn't order this again. Although the aioli was good. The b- was delicious. I would definitely order this again. A tad bit oily, but that's to be expected. It also came with a side of roasted potatoes. The best part of the meal was definitely the bs- huge portion that just melted in your mouth! I had been seeing so many positive reviews for the cc, I was so excited to try it out. It was okay...a bit dense for me. It seemed like it was served right out of the fridge. Overall, pretty solid dinner. I'd definitely go back to try more items, including breakfast.

When I walked in the front door I was blown away by the beauty of the dining room. While in a strip mall the improvements made that detail unrecognizable when you walked through the door. I sat at the bar and the bartender was attentive. The menu was small but very appealing. I ordered the meatballs and minestrone soup. Both were quite filling and satisfying. I will certainly visit again.

I Ordered the Safe Word and it was genuinely unpleasant--bitter, smoky, nothing like the menu described. Asked for a replacement and got the Hugo instead, which was so much better with those basil notes. The smash burger they recommended was solid, but the fries were a letdown. They looked and tasted like they'd been air-fried instead of being actual truffle fries. And when I asked for ranch? They brought Hidden Valley. At a place like this, that's rough. My friends had mixed experiences too--some dishes were decent, others just fine. Nothing that stood out. But here's the real thing: we told them we were celebrating a birthday, and when I had to ask about dessert, they basically brushed it off. Most restaurants in this category do something complimentary for birthdays. Not even an offer here. The service was genuinely strange. Not friendly at all. Given the prices they're charging, I can't imagine why you'd choose this place when there are better options out there that actually care about the experience.
