Compari's on the Park

Just had outstanding dinner at Compari in Plymouth Michigan. Somehow I managed to go further to look for good food. The restaurant is across the street from Kellogg Park. Don't overlook the hidden gem. Our server was quick and professional. Finally the ambiance was family friendly and not noisy. I will be a regular in the future.

We came here for dinner to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday, not realizing that the Plymouth Ice Festival ( visited Feb 1st) was going on. We were told the wait was 45min for a table for 2. We put our name in, walked around the park for a while and came back and waited in the vestibule, which has a window looking into the restaurant/bar area. We waited for well over an hour and noticed that people who put their name in after us, were seated before us. There was a couple who seemed to think that they were quite special, and acted as if they knew everyone there, were given what seemed preferential treatment and given a booth. Another couple had enquired about that booth before them, but they said it was reserved (for the big shots who knew the staff). My boyfriend finally asked when we would get a table, we were tired of standing in the cold vestibule. They seemed to have overlooked our name. We were sat at the first table (which was freezing cold everytime the door opened). The tables were so cramped. I was quite annoyed that there was a large table (actually 4- 2 tops pushed together) that Sat empty for at least 40 min. They could have split those tables up and sat 4 groups of 2. The seating assignments were terrible, 2 people sitting at a 4 top. Our server was sweet, but absent minded. She would forget why she came to the table, look confused and would leave and come back and ask us what we wanted. Her name is Nikki. We ordered the roasted garlic bulbs as an app, listed as "goat cheese, roasted red peppers and toast points" the garlic wasn't roasted enough, the cloves were tough and were not spreadable, infact it bent the little spoon trying to do so. I couldn't believe how little roasted red pepper was on the plate. Disappointed with this app, which we barely started when our salad and soup came to the table. Did I mention that the table is tiny? We had the bread basket, the bread was nice by the way, our app and our soup and salad, plus our glasses. Maybe 5 minutes later, they bring out our entrees!!!! We still haven't finished the lackluster app, nor our soup or salad!!! Crazy, the tiny table was already so full. We had them take our unfinished plates of salad and the app, so that there was room for our entrees. The soup was chicken pasting and was fine, nothing special. I had a few bites of my salad, it was just ok. I ordered camellia more with shrimp. The shrimp were cooked well, the pasta dish was sort of bland, there were so many tomatoes in it, too many tomatoes really. My boyfriend ordered the mushroom risotto, it was pretty good.There was a musician playing, that was the best part of this evening.

I really like Compari's. Always have loved going here. The restaurant is located in downtown Plymouth. The night we went, the ice festival was going on and it was extremely busy. So the wait took about 45 minutes to an hour to get seated. Now I can't say for sure, but I felt like they could have did a better job of turning tables over and making room. We sat at a small table near the bar. Which was ok with us because it was busy. They had a guy playing mandolin who was really good and made it enjoyable. Took a minute for waitress to get to us and when she did, she seemed a little more occupied with everything else, but us. Again, it was so busy she could have been overwhelmed. We ordered roasted garlic bulbs with goat cheese and roasted red peppers w/toast for an appetizer which was not great. I ordered the mushroom risotto with chicken pastina soup. The risotto was fantastic, I really enjoyed it. The chicken pastina soup wasn't really that great. My girlfriend ordered Capellini Amore with a salad. She really enjoyed the pasta. One issue was. Our table was so small which was ok, but they brought our soup and salad before the appetizer, then when they brought the appetizer our table was full, no room for nothing else. While we are eating our soup and salad and appetizer, they bring our entrees, and the kid who brought our entrees was standing there waiting for us to make room on the table, which was physically impossible. So we felt like we had to give up our soup and salad to make room for our entrees. It was awkward cause he was literally standing with the plates over us. Overall, it still was a fun dinner, the food was good and I enjoyed it. The mandolin player added a nice touch which I enjoyed. The staff could have been better, but I want to give them a pass cause it was extremely busy. We will be back I'm sure.

Bro restaurant smells like ripe cheese and sardines. Way too packed with tables that it made it impossible to have a conversation because how many people were there talking. Food is a solid 2/5 if anything and took kinda long. Server was chill and got the order right but ya save your money and just order Little Caesars if you want pizza with toppingsI promise Little Caesars will have more flavor and more stuff on their pizza . Whoops sorry but at least this is an honest review

Courtney and the staff were great! We had a fun and tasty time together to celebrate what we did this past 6 months. The lasagna and beer hit the spot and the birthday tiramisu was perfect! Nice atmosphere for a good time :)

Started off with mussels - they were quite large but tender and the marinara sauce was fantastic. The table bread and oil also nice. Our waiter nicely spaced out appetizer and entrees of chicken Parmesan and linguine pescatore. The salad and house dressing was great as was the chicken soup my partner had. Actually, the chicken soup was AMAZING. The linguine was nice Al dente, scallops were cooked well with nice flavor, as were the shrimp and mussels (again). I went with the classic chicken Parmesan since the marinara in our appetizer was so good and it did not disappoint. The chicken cutlet was nicely breaded and fried, great char on it too. Cheese wasn't overdone and neither was the sauce. Highly recommend. We have passed by this place hundreds of times but this was our first evening dining there. It was super busy per usual but this was a Friday evening and the ice festival as well. We were pleasantly surprised when they overestimated the wait and managed to seat us within 30 minutes. They sat us in the newly renovated portion of the restaurant it shares with Fiamma Grille which will look really nice once done.

We stopped in for lunch after being in Plymouth for a walk and the scarecrow festival, very creative scarecrows to see. We had a very nice lunch. The staff was attentive during the meal. Our group had steak salad, a prime rib sandwich, pear and goat cheese flat bread, a Sicilian calzone and a kids pizza and a kids grilled cheese. All of us were happy with our food. A couple of minor complaints. The prime rib sandwich cans out much later than the rest of the meals. The staff gave our son a cup of soup to apologize. It was not easy getting the check to pay.

Food was good. We got the chicken parmesan and compari's special. They have huge servings. The calamari was unique, it was chunkier than the typical calamari and came with a tasty sauce.The pomegranate margarita was a bit bitter but the old fashioned was made to perfection. The servers were nice. This place is clean, has outdoor seating, and accommodates reservations. I would definitely recommend getting a reservation because it gets busy even on weekdays.

First time here today, with friends too. Absoutely love this spot.The dining room is very comfortable. We were seated promptly at a nice booth. Warm bread arrived quickly. Delicious. Our server Kim was awesome. On point with everything. And her wit. Well, that's quick too lol.All of our plates were delicious. The soup and salads great too. Kudos to the chef as it was a busy evening. Highly recommended.

Love this place. Have been coming here since they opened. Always great service. Good atmosphere. And a variety of food items to choose from.
