The ENTIRE staff were friendly, extremely helpful, and provided over the top, exceptional service! Two things I must point out that make Genitti's the best place to book a shower or event: You pay for the number of guests you actually have-not a minimum number that you may or may not meet and waste both money and food You drop off all of your decorations, gifts, prizes, desserts, centerpieces etc the day before -they come out to your car and take it all inside for you. After your event they pack up and take everything back out to your car for you too. When you arrive the day of your event they have completely set up everything and add their own touches. It was so nice to walk into the room and just admire it and take some pictures-it looked amazing. If you're needing the perfect place for a special event call them up-but book early!

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.

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.

We much appreciated her help. Service by Jason was very good. We enjoyed the old world ambience, but it was very loud we must say. The food was spectacular. We began with the classic calamari and the daily special stuffed peppers. Both were outstanding. We especially liked the stuffed banana peppers. They were supposed to be very spicy, but they really weren't. Highly recommend them. A few of us had salads, which would nice especially the Caesar. The veal Michelangelo got rave reviews and was outstanding. The seafood was perfectly cooked with the veal and the sauce was amazing. The Veal Marsala likewise was wonderful. The veal was tender, the mushrooms, fresh, and perfectly cooked, and the marsala wine sauce was delicious. I've had this same dish, many places, and without question this was or close to the best I've ever tasted. We had three kids meals, which were all very good and very large portions. The lasagna was a huge hit as the penne pasta. The fettuccine Alfredo was wonderful, but too rich for the kids, so the adults enjoyed it! Desserts were all nice. The peanut butter cake, gelato, and Tartufo Dark. We had tried to order one order of gelato with two different flavors, but it came out with three orders of gelato each with three scoops. So definitely a mistake we got charged for, but it didn't matter because the kids ate it all anyway. The Tartufo Dark was the standout!

The first was delivery and it arrived perfectly prepared and exactly as ordered. I went with the seafood pasta and my family split an order or arancini. Everything was excellent. A few weeks later I came back through for dinner with some friends and we landed on the heated patio. It was cozy and comfortable. We split the bruschetta with prosciutto, goat cheese, and fig spread. Very good! For my entree I went with the asiago baci, little purses of an asiago and ricotta stuffed pasta tossed in a garlic cream sauce with tomatoes and asparagus. So so good! And a nice sized portion as well. For dessert we split a slice of the lemon torte. Light and delicious. The perfect end to the meal. I was there catching up with friends and we definitely moved a little slower ordering (too busy talking!) and our server was really kind and patient with us. A great experience all around.

I've been back to Nico and Vali's twice within the last month, and was pleased with both visits…read more One our first trip, my husband and I tried the Spaghetti Bolognese and the Short Rib Special. The meatballs in the spaghetti dish were delicious. Flavorful and not dried out. The sauce tasted like it had been cooked with love. I also liked the short rib. The sauce had been elevated with some wine, and the meat was tender and rich. The accompanying potatoes were so creamy. I would order both dishes again. We each got a dessert. My husband got the tiramisu and I got the chocolate cake. I guess the tiramisu was just ok. I loved the chocolate cake. On our second visit, we tried the Rigatoni Caprino and the Chicken Marsala Florentine. Of the two, we liked the rigatoni better. It had that super red sauce on it. The sausage was on point, and the goat cheese complimented the rest of the dish so well. The marsala was good, though my husband I agreed we had both had better. The sauce just lacked something. My husband wasn't that impressed with the Crème Brûlée cheesecake, and wouldn't order it again.

We had the rudest waitress (named Courtney) we've ever had there. She was cold. Did not tell us that the soup she offered was an up charge. Did not want to tell us she up charged us when we asked. Did not want to give us any bread and which normally comes with the meal. She brought out 2 pieces and there were 4 of us. We asked again she gave us 2 more. Finally another guy came by and gave us a proper basket. The rest of the food was fine. It just ruined the experience have we are spending over $150 and there for a birthday that she was so terrible. Ask for someone else if you go there so she doesn't ruin your meal and special occasion. Totally ruined meal.

Can I just say that I do not at all understand these critical reviews of Bravo…read more My family and I have been to this location MANY times and all of these critiques seem completely unwarranted and inaccurate. For one, the food is very very good. Bravo has 4 dishes that I would say are exceptional: Chicken Marsala, the Chicken Scalopini, the Pasta Bravo and the Salmon Sandwich. The Chicken Marsala is one of the best iterations in the area. What I like about it personally is that it isn't overly sweet and fruity like many other Marsallas. The garlic and mushrooms are well represented in the sauce and the chicken is always moist and never dry. The Chicken Scalopini is the "freshest" version of Scalopini amongst Italian restaurants in the area. What I mean by that is that this isn't some processed white sauce thrown over chicken. This dish has one of the best lemon butter cream sauces in the area and the feta, mushrooms and capers make it the most sophisticated iterations of the dish in the area. It's far above Olive Garden's version and slightly above Carraba's. The Pasta Bravo is like a Penne Alla Vodka with chicken. The sauce is, again, very unique and the best of its type in the area. Bravo has great sauces! It's very very fresh tasting with no artificial sweetness or textures that plague other pasta dishes like this in the area. Finally, their Salmon Sandwich is possibly the best lunch option in the Livonia area. I don't know who their salmon supplier is, but for some reason the salmon they use is incredibly moist and buttery compared to others in the area. It completely makes the sandwich. Also, the aioli on the sandwich is very very good (again, Bravo has great sauces) This is a great restaurant to go to as a family. The booths are huge and they're not stacking you on top of each other like they do at other spots. It's always extremely clean and the layout is great as the full bar is available but secluded from the rest of the sit down area. Every server I have had at Bravo's has been wonderful. I've been many times and have never had a single poor experience. If anything, I find their waitstaff to be exceptionally courteous and prompt. Even though this isn't a diner, I get loads of refills on the coffee I always order and every accommodation I have from my diet has always been dealt with smoothly. I love the staff here. I will be back!
