Gaudino's

I love this place. I feel like it's always busy (which is a good sign for a restaurant) and the food is absolutely delicious. Our service is always top notch also.One critique: it seems as if they can never get the temperature regulated on the patio area. I sat out there in the winter and they had the heat on so hot that my eyes were burning.

Really cool ambience, outstanding server - sorry I didn't catch her name.The Caesar salad was excellent as was the bread. Both of us ordered the Bolognese which was just ok, despite our server's recommendation.My personal suggestion, shared by our server: expand the bourbon selection!! Jack Daniels is sour mash, C&C is blended Canadian whiskey & Bulleit is ok but nothing special. The end. Except for the Perfect Manhattan which advertised a top shelf bourbon (I forget what it was) but they were out of that. ‍We would go back tho!

This place has received rave reviews for years, and recently my wife and I finally made it to Gaudinos for a dinner date. Let me say, the food itself is not the issue, our appetizer was good and our meals were very tasty. The portions were a little on the small side, but not a one-bite plate by any means. The service was another story.As we walked in behind another couple who was happily greeted by the host and server, we waited our turn to a very snarky, short response from the host. We were seated, our waitress came by once every 15 minutes, if I'm generous. The dish crew were nice and pleasant, but they were also high school aged kids who hadn't had the life sucked out of them by this atrocious establishment. It appears to me, that unless you are a regular debutante, you are relegated to the sidelines and your patronage is not of particular importance. All in all, there are better places to spend you money and night out than going here. 3 stars for decent food and drinks.

This place was very good! We met friends for dinner here and got to meet the owner who was very personable. The owner even took the time to give us the history of the place when we asked (3 generations!). There's lots of old family pictures in the area by the restrooms too. The food was very good - Italian. Most of us paired and split a salad and pizza. We had leftovers for the next day. Highly recommend!

I had the Halibut Arrostata. This was a great dish. The fish was very good. The corn cake was awesome. The service was great as it always is.

I've been here like 10x with never actually dining in. I have no clue why this is. I don't frequent the area much and when I am around here I'm usually just thinking of grabbing a quick bite. The sandwiches are in top 3 for metro-Detroit. They're incredible. The cannolis are absolutely divine. I love the atmosphere and concept of this place so much. I can't wait to actually get in and try a dinner service.

Service was horrible. Absolutely horrible. We ended up asking for the bill right after the appetizer that we finished and still hadn't ordered. I could understand if they were busy but they are not usually open on Sundays and there was nobody else dining in. What a shame the food had potential to be great but we didn't get that far. Calamari grilled was over salted. Good luck Gaudino's. Also girl walked in circles many times but never stopped to ask us anything just stare awkwardly.

If I've said it once I'll say it twice. Gaudino's is one of my favorite restaurants in St Clair Shores. Just all around good fare. I highly recommend their chicken soup. It's good for your soul.

Awesome food, great service and a cool atmosphere. Love Gaudino's!! Always a hit when I introduce new people there.

Was just looking to pick up a nice carry out meal for the hubby and this place delivered! Food was great. I will be trying out the deli meats and olives on my next trip.
