Angelo’s Fine Italian opens tomorrow, Thursday, Oct. 29, in the Village in Grosse Pointe, and it’s a collaboration between the chefs behind two of my favorite Italian restaurants. 🍝
Jared Gadbaw is the chef-owner of Oak & Reel, and before that he ran Marea in New York, which held two Michelin stars. Cory Barberio was San Morello’s opening chef at the Shinola Hotel back in 2018. The restaurant is named for Barberio’s son.
This one’s going to be more relaxed: red-sauce classics, house-made pasta and seafood, with things like trout saltimbocca on the menu, plus cocktails and w**e. It’s at 16844 Kercheval, the old City Kitchen spot, and it’s not a giant room, with a 40-person private dining space downstairs. Dinner starts at 5 p.m. every night except Monday, with happy hour from 3 to 6 Tuesday through Sunday. Reservations are on AngelosFineItalian.com.
If you’ve been to Oak & Reel or San Morello, you know what these two do with plate presentation, taste and quality ingredients. They’ve both been a welcome, amazing addition to the Detroit food scene for years, and I love that they’re doing this one together.
I can’t wait to go. I’ll probably be one of the first, if not the first, through the door.
Are you looking forward to Angelo’s? Let me know.
