    11" Margherita
    David S.

    If you asked me 5 years ago what the best pizza in Berkley was, I- Wait, no. If you asked ANYBODY 5 years ago what the best pizza in Berkley was, everyone would say Crispellis on Woodward. These days, it's closer to Green Lantern Pizza. The management over the years has gotten nicer and more refined, I love the social aspect of everything. It's probably the most fun you'll have going to a restaurant. The energy is so alive, and the people are so kind! However, the food is a different story. I remember this used to be the GO TO ITALIAN CUISINE, the crust had an immaculate crunch that I could compare to curb stomp, a tomato that... was just heavenly. You couldn't compare that tomato, to anything. So good. The cheese aswell? I will not lie, the cheese always had a hard time staying on due to the undercarriages light nature, but I honestly don't care. I like floppy, messy pizzas as long as they have a nice crunch and tastes delicious. If I went into Crispellis today, and got the usual 11' Margarita, it would not have that crunch. Which sadly doesn't make up for the overly heavy cheese that denies to access to pick up, specifically as a straight, evenly distributed pizza with a nice char at the bottom. However, the tomato actually pops better than ever. I don't know if they put all there budget costs into making a fresher marinara, but oh lord, the tomato is everything. The pasta has never changed, still love their Spaghetti, it gets me full every-time. And overall, I've always loved the inside, i haven't been to any other locations besides this one, but I'd be surprised if this wasn't the biggest. When you think it's over, they take you to a bigger dining area. Never assume the first thing you see is all that's there, to your right there's a whole new bar area for anyone who wants to have fun. I still love Crispellis, but it's not the same pie like it used to be. 4/5

    I have been here several times and always enjoy the experience. My favorite pizza options are the Margherita pizza and the Prosciutto and Arugula pizza. Highly recommend taking the larger size as the slices are pretty thin. Restaurant is self serve so you can go up to the stations to order on your own.

    Service was very good! The place is very nice to sit and relax! They have outdoor seating as well. Our Pizza's came out tasty as well. They also have self serve Pizza's where you can just order and take one of the tables in the area right by the Pizza ovens.

    It's always the fresh bread for me

    This place really makes the best salad and breadsticks love chatting getting authentic Italian cuisine and it's a nice quick vegan bite the staff is always so nice and knowledgeable they really make me plan my next visit everytime

    Michigan Salad
    Nadia B.

    We went to Crispelli's and sat on the outdoor patio--such great vibes! To order food, you go up to the front counter to place your order and pay, and if you're dining in, they'll bring it to your table. We started off with a bottle of wine and then ordered the Michigan Salad, Cheesy Bread, Shrimp & Chorizo Pizza, and the Grilled Chicken Club. The sandwich comes on sourdough bread, and I couldn't choose between the basil pesto mayo and chili garlic mayo, so I got both on the side. (Pro tip: they're both amazing for dipping fries into!) Everything was bomb. No complaints. Highly recommend!

    Mini chocolate chip and pistachio Cannolis
    Camilla M.

    Crispelli's was delicious! My aunt recommended for us to try! We got the pepperoni Margherita pizza and the Italian panini. Our favorite entree was the pizza for sure! The chips on the side of the panini tasted so fresh, and the bread was amazing. The staff was all very kind, love being in Michigan. It's very laid back in a good way. Reserve a table, then order at the front, or with the QR code. The bakery had some really nice pastries, goodies, and bread! We opted for the small cannolis! Very tasty, perfect ratios.

    Prosciutto & Arugula pizza on gluten-free crust
    Charlie C.

    Ordered the Prosciutto & Arugula pizza on gluten-free crust for takeout. It came out looking like this and missing the arugula. We had to wait an extra 15-20 minutes past our estimated pick-up time. The rest of our larger order besides for this pizza was closer to what we expect from Crispelli's, and as it was near the end of the day we were offered some of their bakery items for free. 3 stars to even out the good with the bad.

    11" Margherita
    Samantha S.

    A year ago I'd have given this location a 5 star review. The last few times I've ordered the pizzas tastes rubbery. NOT the way it used to look or taste. I'll only be going to Supino's for my pizzas.

    Salmon sandwich on a baguette and minestrone soup
    Sherri S.

    I really enjoy the salmon sandwich, and I tried the minestrone today. I'm very pleased. I ordered online and it was ready before I arrived. Great for a lunch run.

    Caesar Salad
    Izzy W.

    Came here before a show on a Friday night. It was quite busy so we were sat in the self-service section. You can either go up to the counter or from your phone and they'll bring it out to you. Pizza was super crispy and very hot fresh out of the oven. Caesar salad was also very good, the dressing tasted homemade. Super cute place! We've already been talking about coming back to try a different pizza.

We had to wait a short bit before getting seated, even with a reservation, and there was very little space to wait without getting in the way. However, service was excellent, and our table was cleared as quickly as possible to get us seated. Our server introduced himself quickly and read us all of the specials with the prices as well. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. He also checked up on us frequently and made sure we were doing well. I got an aperol spritz which was nice and refreshing. The starter bread was very soft and warm. We split of one of the specials (arancini alla norma) which was excellent. We also got the insalata mista which was exactly what you would expect. It was a pretty small portion, but otherwise, there was not much to note. I got a rigatoni alla norma for my main. The tomato sauce was excellent. It was acidic and vibrant which complemented the roasted eggplant and cheese very well. I also had a bite of the rigatoni alla vodka which I would totally order next time. It was a great pick for someone who wants something with a little more kick to it. Overall, I think this restaurant was solid, and I would return. The environment was a bit loud and chaotic, but it was very cozy and family friendly. This is a great spot for those looking for a classic Italian American eatery.

One other thing I want to note, if you have a big group, maybe look for some other place to eat. They really squeezed me and my family in-people kept running into the back of my chair, which was irritating, to say the least. Overall, It was very expensive for something average.

It's great for a casual date or a nice meal with friends. We started with the bread board which was alright. I think they described the bread as focaccia, so I was expecting a bread with more of a crunchy crust and the classic dimples on top. However, this bread was fluffy and soft, but it was still very good. I'm not sure if I would get it again since it felt like a bread board I could put together at home. I preferred the bruschetta we got last time. For my entree, I went with the chicken parm which was very good. The chicken was coated well and the sauce was delicious.

She was kind, attentive, and professional throughout the meal. Sadly, her service was the only truly positive part of our visit. For my entrée, I ordered the gnocchi with Palameno sauce. The gnocchi itself tasted fresh and was well made; however, the sauce was overwhelmingly garlicky--so much so that it nearly made my eyes water. There was no real depth of flavor beyond the garlic, which made the dish unbalanced and unpleasant. My husband ordered the homemade ravioli stuffed with portobello mushrooms, which was genuinely good and the best dish we had that night. That said, both entrées arrived completely on their own--no sides, no garnish, and not even freshly shaved or grated parmesan offered at the table. We were surprised to learn that everything was à la carte, yet this was not clearly outlined anywhere. Even basic side salads cost $6 for very small portions, and the entrée portions themselves were quite small for the price. We also ordered the $8 bread board, which was honestly baffling. The bread was cold instead of warm and served with low-quality oil, vinegar, and very subpar parmesan (comparable to grocery-store brand), all placed in tiny separate cups with no herbs, seasoning, or explanation. It wasn't mixed or presented in a way that made sense--frankly, we weren't sure what we were supposed to do with it. The calamari appetizer tasted good, but the portion was so small it wasn't shareable, which defeats the purpose of an appetizer. The drinks were awful. My husband's soda tasted flat, and we wondered if the soda gun was dirty. There was virtually no liquor in either cocktail--mine tasted watered down and unpleasant, almost like river water. To make matters worse, the limes were dry and visibly brown. Overall, the entire experience was a 3 out of 10, and that rating is solely due to the excellent service provided by our waitress, Yvette. Unfortunately, between the underwhelming food, confusing and poorly communicated à la carte pricing, very small portions, subpar drinks, and lack of value for the cost, this restaurant did not meet even basic expectations. We will not be returning and cannot recommend D'Amato's to others s this restaurant's food was NOT elevated. For the prices charged, fine-dining restaurants should expect far better quality, execution, and overall dining experience. I have no idea how they stayed in business for over 28 years.

I got the "burnt orange espresso tonic" and a "rosemary biscuit". Both were amazing. The biscuit was warm and buttery and the included jam (which appeared house made) was the perfect compliment.

The flavor was fresh, light and fruity, with the bitterness of the coffee keeping it grounded and sophisticated. I even ate the orange slice at the end.

I can see it being a hassle for some older, less mobile patrons. When you need something, it does cause some issue. I sat outside for the first really warm weekend. The table could have used an umbrella. The espresso martini is good. Ordered a Greek salad plus chicken. Just okay for $19. Dressing was good but not standout. For my first time, we ordered a large Mom's House pizza. There is always a concern with tomato on a pizza. With the tomato, cheese, and amount of toppings, the pizza was soggy. Not sure if this is a common issue, or if the crust was undercooked or maybe too much cheese. I deleted the photo. We didn't mention it to the server. Probably should have. Did not want to be that guy though. Took the L. My two patrons ate one slice. I ate two. Threw the rest of the soggy pizza away. I thought it tasted solid, but the sogginess ruined it. The soggy pizza was served without a slice spatula/server - which made the pizza hard to grab. We didn't bother to ask if one was available. I will try another pizza for a second chance. My other patrons would be hard pressed to come back. The soggy pizza ruined their first time opinion. Lastly, the pizza and salad bowl are served on beige, recyclable plates and bowl. While I understand the convenience, it comes across as tacky and limits the ambience. Old pics show the Greek salad presented in a nicer bowl.
