San Morello

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.

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

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!

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!

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!

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.
