I had their Italian sandwich on a hard roll, and I can say, without a shadow of a doubt, it's the best one I have ever eaten. It's truly a mystery how they do it. The ingredients themselves aren't groundbreaking, yet the combination, the freshness, the sheer perfection of it all, elevates it far beyond any other Italian sandwich I've ever encountered. Perhaps it's the legendary fresh hard roll from Tringali's, or maybe, just maybe, it's a touch of culinary black magic - whatever it is, it works! This sandwich alone was absolutely worth the 30-minute drive to get my hands on it. And as if the sandwich wasn't enough, Ventimiglia's is also a fantastic Italian market! It's an absolute treasure trove where you can easily grab some amazing little Italian deliciousness, whether it's a refreshing lemon soda, a unique can of sardines, or some bubbly water. Ventimiglia's Italian Food offers a truly great experience from start to finish. If you're looking for an unforgettable Italian sandwich and a delightful market to explore, you simply must visit!

Everything else is a sad copy. Herbs, oil, meat. Omg the eggplant with rosemary ham is to die for. Adopt me! They have a full deli of meats, cheeses, Italian pantry needs, cold salads, veggies, and baked goods. We got a selection of their cookies. Most of them were shortbread texture, dry and crumbly. (That's my husband's favorite). It seemed almost as if the coconut macaroon was made just for me. What do you know, I didn't take a single photo. I guess I'll have to go back. Immediately.

Appetizers - careful with how much y order. Sizeable portions of salad and soup if getting a combo entree. It's a lot of food so order accordingly. Free bread provided with eggplant curry as well. Entrees - all excellent, weakest was branzino which was heavy on salt but cooked well. Pasta was fresh and Chicken Parm slammed. If vegetarian have the server do a meat check as there's some certain meats inherent in the pasta and sauces. Servers seem sharp and attentive to dietary restrictions. Dessert - Lastly for birthdays if you tell the server what u are celebrating, they will bring a lighted candle on a cannoli for the table. I'd have preferred a small piece of cake with a candle as it's more Celebration themed. The cannoli wasn't the best, but the cake we ordered for dessert was excellent. Maybe don't do the chocolate icing all over the plate. Chocolate creme all over a plate is slightly tacky and prevents the dessert taste come out. Save the creme and icing for kids or sweet shops. Honestly, just a cake with a candle would be a cleaner presentation or a normal cake slice would be a simpler dessert. Only nitpicking this much, as the overall night and food hearty, plentiful, and excellent. I want Andiamo's to keep the recommendations in mind and keep improving. This can easily be one of Detroit's top Italian and Steak dining destinations. Service was excellent, ambiance on point, and drinks flowed. Nitpick the food and dessert and keep constantly improving. I WILL be back.

He told me to look in the freezers which I already did. Then he told me to look in the chicken freezer. Finally another younger butcher told him they were in the back freezers which the butchers only had access to. He wrapped them up in Saran Wrap. Wasn't advised they were already frozen. Got in line and noticed 4 lines open. Waited another 10 minutes in line. None of the lines were moving. I was 4th in line. The cashiers didn't smile nor were friendly. Speed nor friendliness is Not to be found here. Also the tight aisles to maneuver through are a safety factor. Not worth going here. it took me longer to get the ribs and pay for them . So frustrating.

To broaden our experience, my friend and I split everything we ordered. Dinner was AMAZING....5/5 APPETIZER: "Burrata Camponata" A mound of this heavenly Eggplant Relish, severalthick slices of fresh Burrata oozing cheese, and a big mound of imported, freshly shaved Prosciutto off of the special shaver that sits in the dining room for the dishes that require this beautifully seasoned ham. Absolutely delicious appetizer! The basket of fresh Italian bread and olive oil for dipping was put to use with our glasses of Chianti and then enjoyed very soon as an olive oil topped bread base for our well-placed trio of this gorgeous appetizer. Next, for the salad, we chose to split the "Charred (on a hot coal grill !) Romaine on the grill Caesar Salad" with an anchovie garnish The perfectly seasoned croutons were made in-house, and so was their most divine (BEST I've ever had) Caesar dressing! We split 2 Entrees: Pasta Carbonara created in the imported, authentic, giant Parmesan wheel table-side Espresso-encrusted Prime cut sirloin steak Med Rare with roasted redskins and fresh, petite green beans. It was the most tender cut of beef with huge flavor, made even more so from the grill. It was perfection, simple fare, highest quality of ingredients, all prepared and presented beautifully. The staff were always attentive, though not smothering, and genuinely friendly with a ready smile. DESSERT: We split "heaven-in-your-mouth" x2 : a piece of Dubai Chocolate cheesecake and a serving of the Tiramisu. "Ecstasy," is all we could say as the perfect wrap-up to this gourmet trip to Italy Mangiabevi, you haunt me daily until I return.

Menu are both physical and virtual via QR code to access their website menu. There is definitely too much to talk about here so be sure to look at my pics as I've provided a quick summary in the captions. J Baldwin's famous calamari. After receiving the dish, I think I've had it before at J Baldwin's in Clinton Twp. The calamari is not your typical calamari and is sauced with his Beurre Blanc famed on the Food Network. While it's still breaded, the Beurre Blanc is enough to soften it completely while adding an explosion of flavor. The Beurre Blanc is made with olive oil, shallots, peppercorns, bay leaves, lemon juice, wine, and cream. Personally I think this dish was way too sauce heavy. There wasn't a single crispy bite. While flavorful, I was looking forward to a light and crispy texture, but didn't get it. I think this could have been accomplished with going lighter in the sauce, maybe just drizzling it on, and providing a serving of it on the side. 3,5 stars. Truffle Sausage Pizza. Tradition hand tossed dough that's not too thick and not too thin. Italian sausage, truffle oil, parsley, Gouda, Mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses. The Italian sausage was not what I expected. Rather than slices or tiny meatballs, it was ground up. I kinda liked it to tell you the truth, but it wasn't evenly applied. It was more densely populated in the center, which left the perimeter sparse with toppings. While the truffle oil sounded good, it didn't work for me. Here's the thing you need to know about truffle oil, it's not made from truffles (mushrooms)! That's right, truffle oil is typically made from extract, which is why the flavor is so intense and a little goes a long way. Local Carbonara Bucatini. Made the traditional way with cuts of pork cheek (guanciale). The bucatini pasta was nicely done and not overcooked. The guanciale was also nice and crispy as it should be. It was lighter on the cheese than I would have liked and none was served on the side, but it was Pecorino Romano and it was shaved from a block. Did I ask for more on the side, of course I did! The black pepper wasn't also as prominent as it should have been, but the server did have some fresh ground at the ready when it was served. 4 stars. Overall, I would have to say that I'm still a fan of J. Baldwin's Testa Barra. The food is prepared fresh with quality ingredients, and the dishes are inspirationally classic, and sometimes with innovating or modern twist. I've consistently never been disappointed with every visit. If You would like to experience more, come dine-with-me.yelp.com I'd love to have your company... Bon Appétit!

There aren't many gluten free options for snacks but they did have gluten free crackers for the whitefish dip and their fries were gluten free. Honestly, I wasn't the biggest fan of their fries. They had a strong oil taste and the irregular cuts made it so that they weren't all cooked homogeneously. I did like the nice amount of freshly grated parmesan on top though. I can't remember the name of the cocktail I had but it was named after a city. My husband tried the basque cheesecake and really liked it. I think it wasn't made by the restaurant if I remember correctly. The pizzas that I saw going back looked great and you could watch the guy making them. It would be lovely to have a gluten free crust option :)
