Detroit Italian ADELINA unprofessional review
Detroit Gem for Nice Vibes: Perfect Pre-Concert Spot (6 Mins from Little Caesars Arena!) đ If youâre wandering downtown Detroit and want a restaurant with great ambiance, this spot is a must-try! We stopped by before a concert yesterdayâitâs just a 6-minute drive from Little Caesars Arenaâand it did not disappoint. My host mom had been here before and raved about it, so we went in with high hopes⊠and left stuffed (we even skipped dessert because we couldnât fit another bite!). Hereâs the full lowdown đ„ đ„€ Non-Alcoholic Drinks: The No-Jito Steals the Show We tried all three non-alcoholic options, and one stood out head and shoulders above the rest: The No-Jito: Super refreshingâlight, zesty, and perfect for cutting through richer dishes đ. Itâs our top pick if you want something crisp and revitalizing! The No-Spresso Martini: Great for coffee lovers! âïž It has that smooth, roasty coffee flavor without the alcoholâcreamy and satisfying, just not quite as bright as the No-Jito. đŽ The Bites: Hits (and One Minor Miss) Portions look small at first, but trust usâthey add up fast! Hereâs what we loved (and what was just okay): Appetizers: Octopus + Focaccia + Salad: The octopus was the star! đ Tender, not chewy at all, with a delicious charred edgeâ10/10, highly recommend. The focaccia was warm and fluffy, and the salad was fresh, but the octopus totally stole the spotlight. Seafood Pasta: Homemade pasta and sauceâyou can taste the freshness! đ I ordered it hoping for heat (I love spicy food), but it was only slightly spicy (a little letdown for spice lovers đ ). Still, the sauce was rich and packed with seafood (shrimp, clams, etc.)âtotally enjoyable. Steak (with Potatoes + Mushrooms): The steak had a weird bitter aftertasteâwe couldnât tell if it was the sauce or the meat itself đŁ. But the sides saved it! The potatoes were creamy and flavorful, and the mushrooms were earthy. We hated wasting food, so we packed the steak up and finished it the next day (it actually tasted better leftover, honestly!). đ Why Itâs Great for Downtown Detroit Ambiance: Cozy, stylish, and not too loudâperfect for pre-concert chats or a casual night out âš. Location: Super convenient if youâre heading to Little Caesars Arena (6 mins by car!) or exploring downtown. Pro Tip: Donât let the âsmall-looking platesâ fool youâshare apps if youâre ordering mains, or skip apps to save room for dessert (we wish we had!). #Michigan #DetroitFood #DetroitEats #PreConcertDining #DowntownDetroit #NonAlcoholicDrinks
