My favorite restaurant in the Detroit Metro area for Italian with Lucianos a close second. The food is delicious, fresh, and they grow their own vegetables and herbs. They can cater to vegans and make a delicious vegan gnocchi. Their tomato sauce is to die for, but the bottled version you buy in the grocery store is not the same... more

Put Café Cortina on the top of your list of places you MUST try. You must go once and I promise you, you will be talking about when you can go next and telling your family and friends. I have never had service like I did at Café Cortina, it is truly extraordinary. From the second you enter the restaurant... more

the food was ether to sweet or sour. The quality of food was like at the average Italian restaurant! we paid a lot of money for the food which you can get at Andiamo for less money. It seems the chef who is an American has never be trained to prepare a good Italian food. You can't compare Cortina with... more

Though we weren't dressed for a fancy dinner, we wanted to check this place out. Staff was very courteous and did an excellent job with recommendations. Food was outstanding. Need to take down the light strings and maybe give the walls a better painting but the FOOD was very, very good. more

I emailed Cafe Cortina through their website, within a... more

I've been there twice, the food is fantastic and the service wonderful. It is expensive, but you get what you pay for. Get a seat outdoors if you're able and the weather permits. Love it! more

Who's the cheesy owner of Cafe Cortina, anyway? This guy is about as smooth as a Fabio impersonator. While waiting for our table (we had reservations for a table that wasn't ready) the owner introduced himself and offered my date and I a glass of wine for the inconvenience. Nice enough. He made quite a theatrical production out of the... more

I went with my husband for our 2 year anniversary, we had a great time, the food and service were wonderful! more

I used to love Cafe Cortina, impeccable service, fabulous food, but that all changed one night in January 2007. While waiting for a table (we had reservations) we were escorted to the smaller room off of the main dining room. While enjoying a pre-dinner cocktail with our guests, I felt something bump my foot. I looked down and saw a... more
