Everything, from the food to the service to the ambience was superb! The noise level was a bit too high, mostly because the music was turned way up. I definitely will be back, however.

About the restaurant

Enjoy the excitement of downtown Detroit at water's edge in the beautiful Renaissance Center. Come and experience why Andiamo offers a truly unique dining experience. Andiamo it not a commercial chain restaurant. It is family owned and operated since 1989. All of our pasta is housemade, our fish is flown in whole, daily , to ensure freshness, our meats are dry aged a minimum of 29 days to ensure great flavor and tenderness. Our service is experienced and professional. Our wine list offers selections to meet every budget and palate. Stop in and see why Andiamo is a step above the rest. Due to our Valet service being closed. There is free parking available for 3 hours at the Beaubien Garage. This garage is located at the corner of Beaubien and Atwater. Use the walkway on Level 2 to enter the building. Thank you.
