We decided to come here before the Clarissa Shields fight. Food was amazing, our server was awesome as well. Would highly recommend and would definitely dine there again. The Spanish coffee ☕️ was amazing. The entire experience was great.

We had a really great time from start to finish. Atmosphere is warm and welcoming and the staff were all very attentive and knowledgeable. Gisela set up our reservation and gave us excellent suggestions. Wine pairing recommendations and wine service were both top notch.
We started with the marinated olives, housemade rosemary focaccia and burrata crostini which did not disappoint. Every bite of the crostini was like a little charcuterie taster with the fig, burrata and hazelnuts. My boyfriend tried the fusilli gigante and I had the agnolotti di zucca. Both dishes were prepared beautifully and the flavours and serving sizes were perfect.
For dessert, we shared the dark chocolate budino. Very rich and flavourful with a creamy espresso ice cream on top.
We’ll definitely be back to try more options! This is a great spot for a ladies’ night!

We enjoyed our evening at San Morello and especially appreciated the diverse menu and cocktails. We ordered the focaccia, the whipped ricotta, and lamb meatballs for our appetizers and thoroughly enjoyed it. For dinner, we got the rigatoni with a lamb bolognese and it was excellent. For dessert, we got the pistachio cake with olive oil gelato and that was the perfect ending to a delicious dinner! We rate it as a 10/10 on the CCC rating scale

Decided to stop in for dinner after a show at the Opera House. Tables were full from reservations, but it was first come first serve seating at the bar and there was ample space for food and drinks with a stylish background in the lighted wall of liquor. Food and drinks were delicious, plates came out fast, and service was great! Highly recommend the pistachio cake

Very nice atmosphere in terms of design, and the service was incredible. The only thing that threw off the atmosphere was the music; at some points it perfectly matched the moody atmosphere, others it was today’s top hits. The food was either really yummy or somewhat basic, such as the Classic Pizza but as to be excepted from a simple Sicilian style pizza. Cocktails were okay too but definitely a heavier pour if that’s what’s worth your buck. A nice spot in Detroit!

My friend & I stopped by while on a work trip. When we walked in the host was greeted us warmly. That is where the good things end.
In the restaurant, it was not busy at all as it was a weekday afternoon & we had a reservation. To start we were not asked our preference for seating. We noticed throughout our meal guests that arrived after us were asked where they would prefer to sit. Even if we accounted for the reservations that came in after us (which only included 3 tables in that section) there was enough space to ask us for our seating preference.
We were seated in front of the kitchen where it was so loud I couldn’t hear my colleague despite sitting right next to her. I’m not sure why they decided to seat us in the middle of the dining area with absolutely no privacy. Our table was missing a chair. I suppose two women dining alone means that the table does not need to come with the complete set of chairs. The silverware was touching the bare table instead of being on a napkin exposed to the air along with all the dirt, debris, & hair. This is unacceptable & disgusting.
We were given room temp water with no ice. We were not asked our preference. Last time I checked, this wasn’t Europe. I asked my server for straws multiple times, but he never brought them. We had to request our server to wipe down the table after our starters & there was a hair stuck under the plate. Our server never asked for a dietary restrictions or allergies.
As someone with a severe shellfish allergy, this is very negligent of the server. During the meal our water was never refilled without being asked. Our server, Jordan seemed to be preoccupied with everything but serving us. The restaurant was not busy; yet, our server was nowhere to be found. When he was around, he did a great job interrupting us. When it was time for the bill Jordan disappeared once again. After ages he finally did bring the bill, we were running extremely late for our flight to NYC. We had to flag down the host & ask her to let Jordan know that we were ready to go. We were the last remaining table in the restaurant. After being put through that horror show, the restaurant overcharged my card. Thankfully I retained my copy of the receipt. As someone with a legal & accounting background I was able to report it to my credit card company.
We ordered from a prefixed lunch menu. The bread for the burrata looked & tasted as if it had been cremated & rehydrated, then served to us. It was so difficult to cut. The ricotta had bitter slivers of garlic. We ordered the Cacio e Pepe & the Pomodoro. As an Italian restaurant the expectation is they will get this pasta right. We were disappointed because neither pasta was edible. My spaghetti was undercooked, watery, & grossly sweet. The Pomodoro pasta had no flavor & tasted very metallic. The pasta was overcooked. For both dishes none of the food was warm. We could not finish any of the appetizers or entrees. For dessert we ordered the cherry lime sorbetto, the banana Biscoff gelato, & the pistachio cake. The banana Biscoff gelato was good. I did not enjoy the cherry lime sorbet. It tasted very soapy to me. The pistachio cake was good.
To conclude, I felt like an unwanted guest. It was as if they had no choice, but to let us dine. The feeling I got was that we were in nuisance for dining in & everything was done to make the experience as unpleasant as possible so that we do not return. I did notice the staff interacting with the other guests & treating them infinitesimally better than us in every way. I had a view of everything since we were seated in the middle. Even as we were leaving, we were not greeted at all. There were two staff members standing right by the door, but they ignored us. I would not return nor would I send anyone there. We were so excited & took the time out of our busy day to dine here but this was an utter waste of our time, dignity, & money. There are much tastier & affordable options.
If anyone has a penchant for atrocious food, blatant disrespect, & neglect this is the place.

I ate here for breakfast, while staying at the Shinola Hotel. I enjoyed a good breakfast that is different than the ordinary fare. While Thomas Keller’s Cafe Bouchon is my all-state favorite, San Morello is in that league. If you like a high-end breakfast in a relaxed atmosphere, this is your place. Another gem in Detroit’s burgeoning restaurant scene!

Fantastic restaurant in the Shinola Hotel. We had cocktails and dessert late night at the bar. The pistachio cake was unique and delicious. The next day we had tasty breakfast including fruit, yogurt/granola and fancy bread. We had dinner here in the past and it was awesome. Service is always on point.

Services & the servers here were all fantastic. We had both breakfast and dinner here while staying at the hotel & I can’t say enough about the staff.
The food was just okay on the other hand. It wasn’t awful at all but not worth what they’re charging. I’ve had far better meals for about half the price at other restaurants

This restaurant is elegant with exquisite decor, wonderful and attentive service with a welcoming staff and kind hospitality! I was celebrating my 64th birthday! They treated me like royalty! I had the squid in fettuccine with crab. My daughter had the chicken Rosalina, and my husband had the pork. The food was braised, flavorful, saucy, seasoned, savory, and beautifully presented. It looked too beautiful to eat. We also had the focaccia bread and arugula with figs and prosciutto with garlic vinaigrette. The bread was decadent and the arugula was light and citrusy, with sweet figs, fresh! Our deserts were raspberry and mango sorbet, blueberry ricotta gelato was comped for my birthday with a candle! Panicotta with berries and chocolate gelato! Flavor Blast is the only way to describe the deserts. There wasn’t one person that didn’t say happy birthday! They made the experience unforgettable! Beautiful music and and a festive atmosphere!
