Giovanni's Ristorante, Detroit

Detroit almost lost an institution when a fire nearly destroyed this acclaimed restaurant, but the Truant family rebuilt and recaptured every detail of this cozy, gorgeous place known for its mouth-watering homemade pastas. The mother and son owners keep alive a long tradition started by her brothers. The central Italian cuisine of San Marino includes elegant nightly specials, colorful raviolis, pasta fazole soup and a prize-winning selection of red wines. The service is solicitous and the atmosphere warm and professional. Quickie Italian language lessons are piped into the restrooms!
