Best Authentic Restaurants in Southfield

Husband insisted no peppers or onions in his food due to allergies and the burrito was delivered with peppers. They did not seem to understand our concern but overall otherwise food was very good. Beautiful decor and lighting, clean and guests are spaced a decent distance apart.

I recently dined at La Strada, and it was an unforgettable experience! The food was exquisite—perfectly prepared, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it the perfect setting for a memorable evening. What truly set the experience apart, however, was the impeccable service provided by our waiter, AJ. From the moment we sat down, AJ was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. They made excellent recommendations and ensured every detail of our dining experience was flawless. AJ went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, and their genuine enthusiasm and professionalism were truly impressive. If you’re looking for exceptional food and world-class service, look no further than La Strada. Be sure to ask for AJ—you won’t be disappointed!

We arrived for our 5:30 reservation and were promptly seated. We enjoyed the atmosphere, very kitschy, and fun. Service was prompt, we were brought a dish of nacho chips and 3 salsas to nibble on before we ordered. We shared a fajita and shrimp tacos, the server checked in a number of times to see how we were doing. Overall, a great experience. We will definitely return

I came here with two of my girlfriends and Mitchell was our server. He was outstanding, hilarious, kind, and was always there and ready. Truly the epitome of perfect service!!!He had wonderful service. 10/10. Food was outstanding too. The greca, ribeye, bronzino, cacio e Pepe, and the banana dessert. Loved it.

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).
