Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Clawson

One of the best Italian meals I’ve had in a while. Their pastas are to die for, which they make daily, as is their octopus starter which was soft, flavorful, and perfectly grilled. They have an option for pick-4 prix fixe and a tasting menu—we went for their prix fixe and came out stuffed. The ambience was relaxing, quiet, and perfect for a nice dinner out. Highly recommend!

Good food, a bit disappointed the menu listed on website wasn't updated and did not match what I was offered in restaurant. Went in for the pork chops to find out that it wasn't listed along with other items. The sides advertised online also not listed on menu in restaurant. All in all good experience with food and service, you will likely be surprised if you go in with expectations from online menu.

Music was very nice, with a festive atmosphere. Service was great, and food was delicious last night

Marvin is an amazing server, he is personable, his timing is impeccable, and you can never go wrong with his recommendations. Our appetizers and entrees were flawless and I highly recommended the mushroom ravioli. The only suggestion we have for improvement is the cocktail list. The bartenders were both very friendly, they did a great job executing the cocktails on their list, but the cocktail list is vodka heavy and seems straight out of the late nineties early 2000s. The art of cocktails has involved past mules and 15 flavors of vodka “martinis” and their list would benefit from expanding or at least having the ingredients to cover classics from the IBA list.

The signature Don’t Speak cocktail was good. Chianti was very nice. Break basket always wonderful. Oysters were too small. Roasted beet salad was good. Roasted cabbage and lentils entree was outstanding. Chocolate hazelnut torte was very good. Service was outstanding. Christmas tree and roaring fire made it all so cozy.
