Definitely my favorite place for Italian food!! The staff at Maisano’s has a way of making you feel welcome and part of their family. Typically, I stop in about every other week and have become acquainted with many of their regulars – most of which stop in multiple times a week!
Maisano’s always has delicious specials, but my favorite plate is their salmon. It tastes absolutely amazing!! I have ordered this dish too many times to count and am always impressed by the consistency from their kitchen.
I recommend Maisano’s to my family and friends for a cozy dining experience and to support a family-owned small business.

Yanni made us feel like we were part of the family, great service! The chocolate banana bread was warm and amazing! Had the trio, and the pasta is fresh and sauce is delicious, the brushetta was great and finished with Grandpa’s family recipe cannoli, which wasn’t too sweet like some are and had chocolate chips and a great texture. Been here three times and never disappointed

We have family in Novi and they recommended Maisanos. It is in a strip mall and we would have missed it if we didn’t know it was there. It is a local Italian restaurant and this was our first visit. They were very busy. It is not a large restaurant and it felt like we were packed in with very little space to move around. We got a couple of appetizers to share. The food was all very good. I got the tenderloin Marsala which was a special. The portions were all very large. We had a table of 6 and they told us since we had a big group that our gratuity was added in already. I am not a fan of when restaurants do this, especially since we only had 6.

Our first time here in about a year. The food and service were as good as we remembered. Minestrone soup and onion soup were both excellent as were all the pasta dishes our party of 4 ordered. Very generous serving of bread in the bread basket. Our server was pleasant and attentive. We also appreciate that the dining area is not overly loud so it’s easy to have conversation over dinner. We won’t wait another year to dine here again.

This place is a hidden gem. We had heard good things about this family owned restaurant and we are glad we listened. As soon as you step in the door you are transported to Italy.
The staff is very welcoming and restaurant spotless. Our waitress, Leah, was great. Our house salads were fresh and delicious and the Italian and zucchini/banana bread were delightful. I got the meat Ravioli and Bob got the lasagna. Both were very tasty and served hot. We are so glad we listened when others talked about this great Italian restaurant. It is a high scale Italian restaurant with reasonable prices. Thanks for the great food and service and we will see you again soon.

Cozy restaurant with great Italian dishes. Chicken Marsala was excellent. Service was a little slow and the salad was a little wilted. Would go back.

Where to start? Everything was terrible.
1. the spinach & artichoke dip didnt taste like a spinach & artichoke dip.. wasnt nasty but not even close to tasting like it.
2. the iced tea & lemonade both tasted watered down or home-made, that’s how gross they tasted.
3. we had ordered fettuccine pasta but got angel hair instead .. the waitress didnt even ask us if that would be okay or to even give a heads up. I asked her after we received our dishes, “did you guys run out of alfredo or…?” and she said they ran out of everything so she told them to go with the closest pasta; okay, i guess but why weren’t we informed prior, what if we wouldve said nevermind i want to order something else instead of a pasta dish? idk. atleast a heads up for changes on our order wouldve been great.
4. the order of a fettuccine chicken alfredo with mushrooms: not only did i receive a pasta i didnt ask for; the chicken is BREADED chicken & not grilled. It was so off-putting. Tasted like the frozen breaded chicken you buy & whip out on a lazy cooking day at home.. but worse, cooked to death like it was reheated 7 times. also, the alfredo sauce didnt taste like alfredo, i dont even know how to explain how horrible that meal was..
5. the house salad had the end pieces of a head lettuce, some wilted pieces in there as well. the dressing needed more flavor.
6. the starter bread was cold as can be and didnt taste good even with a wad of butter. how do you expect me to “melt” butter on cold bread?
7. oh, & we werent given any water at all. every restaurant I’ve ever been to would automatically give you water, then ask if you would like to order a drink. not here, here you must forego that option & decide on a drink to spend money on, that you’ll soon realize was tasteless, so basically water with a hint of thoughts.
8. they do not offer any non-alcoholic drinks other than pepsi products, terrible iced tea & lemonade. why cant they make a mocktail? it’s simple to use all the same products, add club soda or something similar & just not use alcohol? oh well.
9. this 4.5 star rating they have on google must be from individuals that enjoy tasteless food & drinks. their overall rating should be a 2 star on their best day.
10. need i say more?
11. dont walk, RUN to an actual authentic italian restaurant.

My friend and I went last night for my birthday and I was bummed on a couple things. I stopped into this restaurant about 5 months ago and I was impressed however last night was a miss. I got a plentiful amount of chicken but maybe a cup of angel hair? So, I took leftovers home and will have to make additional pasta due to the skimpy serving.
Another thing is I LOVED their zucchini bread months ago and was excited to purchase multiple leaves only to hear they had a “quick bread” last night and the pieces in our bread basket were extremely dry which saddened me tremendously, this was after I already ordered 4 loaves.

A very cozy little restaurant, a perfect comforting atmosphere. Our waitress was beyond pleasant, funny, and explained things in an easy to understand fashion. The food was unbelievable, something as simple as bread felt like home cooking. I will absolutely be back
