The little menu
Ron R.

So when you find the place you will see it is next to a railroad track and to get inside it is not the wooden door that you would think it is, the main entrance is on the side. When we walked in it looked very fancy on the inside, it had low lighting, fancy cups, everything was so elegant but the ambience was VERY quiet, the silence allowed me to hear my own heartbeat, we were the only ones in here on a Saturday Afternoon so obviously we had no wait for a table. The menu is very small so we ordered a sausage pizza, my wife wanted to order a Sangria but it was too difficult to find out if they had it. When the pizza came out I have to say it was very delicious, the crust was soft and the marinara sauce was very flavorful. For a place that was empty the food was really good even though there isn't a big selection. If you're in the mood for pizza this is it.

My wife and a friend stopped in to check out Tony's Trattoria. The place is much brighter than it was with the previous owner and has been spruced up with some new booths and seating areas. The menu is laid out very much like Ottava Via in Detroit with many of the same offerings and prices. My wife had the polpette (meatballs) and Broccolini. The meatballs were very good and sitting in a red sauce (salsa). The broccolini was charred nicely with spicy chili oil and was very tasty. Our friend had the Wild Mushroom Risotto. I was not a very big fan of the risotto as it was way, way over cooked and was almost a mush. I had the Cacio E Pepe, but wasn't a big fan. It was more like buttered noodles rather than a Cacio E Pepe. We also had the bread service which was very good. The bread was served with oil and herbs, honey and whipped goat cheese. When looking through the menu, I thought it was strange that they didn't have any pizza when they have that awesome pizza oven in the kitchen. Well after we ordered, we noticed the pizza menu is in the wine list. I thought that was a little odd and it might be a good thing to have the staff notify the customers of its placement. For a newly opened restaurant, it was pretty good.

What we had & what we paid

We were big fans of The Grotto and were sad to learn the restaurant changed owners. It took us a while to try Tony's Trattoria. Tonight was our first time. We figured we'd just had the Bread Service & some drinks at the bar and take ravioli to go. It was great! We do miss the TVs at the bar but understand the place has a slightly different vibe. Great wine list. The Bread Service is four slices of garlic focaccia served with whipped goat cheese, truffle honey and herbed olive oil. Incredible! Our bartender/server was Chloe (with a C - not a Kardashian lol) was excellent ... on just her second day While we haven't tried the ravioli yet, it looks very good. Wanted to post guys review before we forget. We will definitely be back!

The food is amazing! Service was great and had an awesome vibe. This will be my new go to Italian spot.

Dessert

We drove from Toledo area. The service was impeccable. The restaurant was busy and our server kept the drinks fresh and the food came out from the kitchen with perfect timing. The food was fresh and delicious. The place seems small from the outside but they utilize every inch of the restaurant. Very nice ambiance. Will definitely visit again.

It's not often I find a GEM in this grey yet beautiful world. This was some of the BEST most REAL food I have tasted in all of downriver, if not metro detroit. Now, let's dig into the real star of the show: the food. As a non-bread lover, I was profoundly taken aback to discover I actually like bread, when I started off with the Garlic & Chevre focaccia. This came with the most tantalizing whipped herb goat cheese spread, and a dump truck of fresh roasted garlic. Impeccable. I got the Alfredo, which was cooked great, and also the Goat Cheese Chicken Risotto. WOW. I was left speechless. It was one of the most delicious dishes I have ever had. Chicken perfectly fried, risotto like no other, and the blend of flavors stood out as BFFs. I also got a side of the Citrus & Fennel salad. Absolutely insane also. Its the dead of winter and the heirloom tomatoes tasted like they grew out back in the summer sun. Props to your crew for going out to seek the best produce around. I finished with dessert, which was good. The tiramisu comes in a chocolate ball which for me is a bit too much but perfect for a chocolate lover. Props to the two younger chefs in the kitchen. As the last order of the night, no care or process was spared - making it truly known that everyone on the team here is on a caring alignment. I am not Gordon Ramsey, but I think he'd love to come hang out in that kitchen. The bartender, Kai, was a doll, taking such care into making our drinks and curating a wonderful experience not only for us at the bar, but others. The whole experience is only comparable to a few other meals I have had within my entire life across the country. I cannot wait to come to enjoy another Goat Cheese Chicken Risotto. Thank you for a wonderful insanely unique and amazing Tuesday night experience.

Wow. This place really raises the bar in every way possible…read more The drinks and desserts are the best I have had IN MY LIFE. Yes that's right. My husband said he had the nest hazy ipa of his life here too. A wild claim for foodies like us. They offer takeout in case you don't feel like crowding inside. AND they have the only pickle plate appetizer I have been able to find in the state of Michigan. Oh how i have missed these house pickles in different brines. The bartenders are not only incredibly talented and knowledgeable, they are friendly, cool, and so interesting! I think every single bartender I talked to over there had these attributes, and some even went above and beyond that too. I know, hard to believe, and the price tag matches. At least they are neither under or overrated? I come here for the bar atmosphere, the impeccable drinks and desserts and sometimes a snack. I prefer to go elsewhere for fresh oysters and dinner.

So glad we did…read more They were doing a summer happy hour on the back patio with drinks, food and a live DJ playing everything from quirky '70s French music to Japanese tracks. Super mellow and perfect for a summer night. The staff was young, friendly and attentive and our server was great. Food is mostly tapas and various types of paella, with a solid drink selection including sangria. We tried a little bit of this & that and enjoyed it all. Yes, it's a little pricey, but you feel like you're somewhere worthy of the higher price tag. Great date night joint with a chill vibe. And FYI, the patio is dog-friendly!

We were the first customers of the afternoon and grabbed seats at the bar. The space has a retro vibe, almost like an bowling alley bar. The happy hour deals were hard to pass up: $3 off appetizers and cocktails, plus $6 beers. We ordered the meatballs, which were pretty good, and washed them down with multiple $6 tall cans of Modelo. What started as an accidental stop turned into a good place to grab a drink and a snack. If you're in the area, the happy hour specials make it worth checking out.

Limited seating, first come first serve. It feels more like a side thought for sure. We felt like an afterthought. Our table was not cleaned, our servers were not attentive did not bring us water, nor cleaned off the table. It felt so informal and overly casual. Like I'm going to my friends bar that they owned and I get whatever service because it's my friend. But this was my first time and I was not impressed with the service at all. The food and drinks were good. Also, they did not adjust our bill for the happy hour special. That was the whole point of us going there because of the happy hour menu. I'm not sure if I would return.

Maybe once a month. Came here with a friend. Host was incredibly overwhelmed and snappy with us. Short haired, older woman. We get seated. I order a chicken salad. When it comes I notice the whole dish smells a little funky. I notice the manager walking by so I wave her down and mention it. She's rushing and barely hears me out. I continue to eat it with her reassurance. Later, I'm woken in the middle of the night, very sick. Vomited for so many hours I went to the hospital and had to get a shot of anti-emetic. Not even a matter of if I wanted to come back here (they acted slammed while the seating in the building holds maybe 50 people all at once and they have a fully kitted staff) It's a matter of health and safety on whether I CAN come back. Edit: food safe SENSITIVE. While most people can stomach the poor food handling nowadays, some other people cannot. Was the only meal I had eaten that day and threw it up whole and pink! Owner also replied to me saying they've had no other issues surrounding complaints on food safety when I know for a fact that is untrue because I found patrons on Facebook who have had a similar experience, expressed their concerns to the owner, and were completely brushed off the same way I am here.

On a recent drive-through Toledo I found this interesting little winery/restaurant and the menu definitely deserved me and my group paying a visit. My steak was the first to arrive at the table and I have to admit I had trouble identifying what was on top. Was it fresh mozzarella??? Nope. It was several slices of cool, unmelted horseradish herb butter - which sounded great as described on the menu - but was executed poorly. Every bite of steak was like simultaneously taking a bite off of a stick of butter right out of the fridge. The fries were also just meh. It wasn't all bad, though. The Bee.L.T., I must admit, looked amazing! Two people at my table ordered it, and I secretly hoped they would offer to share it with me. It was also beautifully presented. An other person at my table ordered the mushroom miso stroganoff which also looked amazing and which she described as "delightful." The restaurant itself was beautiful, including the outdoor seating and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. Taking into account all the good and all the bad, this was a solid three star experience. I would definitely go back, though, to give them another chance.

When the food came to the table it was incredibly hot, full of flavor. My chicken was perfectly executed. The meat was hot, tender juicy, full of flavor and lemon and artichoke. It was enjoyed by myself, and my husband. Next was his fish, hot, crispy, thick, juicy. The cod also was very flavorful, the cole slaw was incredibly delicious and a perfect pair for the fish. The fries were hot, crispy and the perfect side also. Both meals were truly enjoyed, we can't wait to go back. The service, the kitchen staff, they knocked it out of the park in our opinion.
