    SUPER cute market specializing in housemade fresh pastas and Italian foodstuffs and goods. It's not a huge space but their curated inventory packs a punch. During our visit I picked up some fresh linguine (SO GOOD), some canned tomatoes to make a sauce (for aforementioned pasta), several bars of fancy chocolate, and the most delicious chocolate orange biscotti that I still daydream about. They also carry a variety of premade pasta sauces, fancy olive oils, tinned fish, crackers, cookies, crackers, and much much more. The shop is tucked a bit back from the main downtown drag in Dexter but if you're walking around town it's worth ambling a few blocks over to visit.

    Amazing fresh pasta and Italian imported goods. Great cheeses, and local greens. Dexter is lucky to have this little gem!

    I've been wanting to try 42 North Social House since they opened and finally got to stop by. This…read morereview is for their bar only. My friend had the grilled avocado salad and the last excuse (their take on the last word ha without green chartreuse). I had the bloody mary at 6pm but it was actually maybe one of the best Bloody Marys I've had in Michigan! The food looked great. I'll also have to come back and sit on their deck/patio in the summer. When there's live music in the park, you can hear it from said deck, which is nice!

    I was visiting Ann Arbor from California for work, and I'm so glad my colleagues chose this…read morerestaurant. The only downside was making the reservation. It took several attempts because the phone just kept ringing before someone finally answered. Perhaps they could benefit using an online reservation service like OpenTable. The restaurant is charming, with the feel of a cozy house and a beautiful outdoor patio. We shared the calamari, smoked whitefish dip, and Brussels sprouts. The Brussels sprouts were the star--perfectly roasted, not mushy, and coated in a yummy sweet sauce. I'd come back just for those! The Wild Blossom Martini was also refreshing and delicious. I ordered the scallops. They were cooked perfectly, but the dish didn't quite come together for me. The "avocado relish" was more like scoops of guacamole, and the white cheddar grits were served as a cake. I think a vegetable succotash would have made the dish much more balanced. For dessert, we shared the Mexican chocolate pot de crème, beignets, and a strawberry dessert that wasn't listed on the website. The pot de crème and beignets were both delicious. Overall, the service was good, the atmosphere was lovely, and the food was enjoyable. A few small improvements would make it even better, but I'd definitely return the next time I'm in Ann Arbor.

    Let me start by saying - I'm a spaghetti hater and my fiance is a spaghetti lover, so obviously…read morethis wasn't my choice. BUT, I did want to check it out since it's eminem's spot. You order in the alley, which smelled awful, then once you go inside there are tables to eat at. The inside I think is shared with another restaurant which was odd. The spaghetti was mid for a $30 meal. The best part was the memorabilia upstairs. All in all, it's a one time only stop.

    Honestly, you get exactly what you ask for here. This is not gourmet pasta, and anyone expecting…read morehandmade artisanal noodles or a slow-simmered bolognese will be severely disappointed. It is straight-up childhood nostalgia in a container. Think back to growing up without much cash, where dinner was store-bought spaghetti using the cheapest canned sauce on the shelf, paired with standard Texas toast transformed into makeshift garlic bread. That is the exact flavor profile they are hitting, and truth be told, they nail that specific vibe perfectly. The process starts out in the alley where you order. The staff handling the food window were nice and remarkably quick, handing over the bag without any fuss. Things got a little confusing when trying to head inside to eat. The layout blends into a separate restaurant next door, and it is tough to tell where the boundary line is. I tried to wander over to that bar side just to grab a beer, but holding the spaghetti bag apparently marks you as an outsider. The staff over there chased me off pretty quick and directed me back to the designated area for the pasta crowd. Once you get into the correct zone, the space actually has some cool character. The highlight is the "trailer" that acts as the merch store. The concept is neat, but the actual retail experience fell a bit flat. They were completely cleared out of most shirt sizes, the pricing felt way too steep for what it was, and the guy working the counter was kind of a dick. Still, the spot is absolutely worth checking out at least once for the sheer novelty, just make sure you know exactly what you are getting into before you walk up to the window.

    First time coming here and was looking forward to their pizza! Arrived on a Saturday afternoon…read morearound 530 and they weren't too busy yet. Snagged a booth and my party placed their order quickly. It was a bit dark inside but the booth was comfortable. I loved the outdoor setup and want to come visit on a cooler day! Food arrived fast and we all enjoyed our orders. The kiddos loved their chicken tenders and fries - the RANCH! Yum! Their mixed spring salad was great and I really enjoyed my guanciale and fig pizza (a little too heavy on the fig jam though so I did remove a lot of it). The others in my party had a pepperoni pizza that was great as well. Absolutely best crust I've had on a pizza in awhile! Overall very good, just nothing spectacular so giving 3 stars.

    First time visiting Jolly Pumpkin and really enjoyed it. Wish the patio had been open…read more.but in due time. Inside has a fun vibe and I like that you order ag the counter vs waiting for service. That said we still had excellent service in that we were greeted at our table, welcomed in, and plates cleared. Was pleasantly surprised to see that they have a nice NA menu as most breweries do not. They were out of the one I wanted to try, so maybe next time. The burger was amazing. Like truly amazing. Fries were pretty good...overall I liked them but a bit salty even for me. Dipping sauce was fantastic! The pizza was good in that the crust was excellent. I'm not typically a fan of the pizza you get at bars....it's too crispy. This crust though OMG so good!! The flavor of the toppings, however, were lacking. The one we ordered was supposed to have pesto and hot honey on it. I tasted no pesto and barely any hot honey. What you could taste was just very sweet.
