It was the 1930s and Six Mile and Conant was like any street corner in Detroit… people walking to the market, neighbors helping neighbors, and friends meeting at the local gathering spot now known as Buddy’s. Buddy’s existed as a “blind pig,” skirting the State and Federal laws that governed the on-site sale and usage of alcohol. Booze was available there. The owner at the time was August “Gus” Guerra.

    Every person who took care of us from the Maitre De to our waiter Manuel , our bar staff Grace and the cheese and bread waiter were fantastic and friendly, even to a table of senior citizens. This was my first experience at Cafe Cortina and it won’t be my last. I selected the restaurant to try something different and not have to drive very far. But now I know that I will return for hopefully many more special occasions ( this was my wife’s birthday).

    Everything is always so good! Tuna crudo, arrincini, burrata apps all tasty. Pastas all wonderful, they kindly offered a vegetarian friendly sauce with our preferred pasta, plus the saltimbocca was delicious. Didn’t get the rucola e parmigiano salad, but it’s my favorite one, simple and very well done. Cantoro’s is always a favorite!

    We were looking for someplace to have dinner on Christmas day. Thank you to Open Table for helping us find a restaurant! We love Italian food and decided to try BRAVO in Livonia. The service was excellent. The food was good but not as much to our liking. Just about every dish we ordered had not only a meat sauce but an alfredo sauce on it, which we weren't used to. In addition, the bread was not to our liking, and both soup and salads were done "a la carte" at $8.00 to $11.00 per item, We have two Italian restaurants that we frequent in Westland and Canton and for the same price as Bravo's entre, you get choice of soup or salad included, as well as endless bread sticks. And the bread is much more to our liking there. We are glad that we tried Bravo, but this would not be our first choice for Italian food.
