Andiamo Trattoria Clarkston

Had a great time eating in the bar area tonight. The food was delicious and the kit kat dessert was especially to die for! Kyla made our dinner very enjoyable and we will definitely be back!

We celebrated New Years Eve watching the Crimson Tide obliterate MSU. But, that didn’t ruin our dinner and celebration. We had a reservation for 10 people. Nine of us showed up. We had a great table and great service. Several people in addition to the wait staff came by to ask how things were. They even turned the sound on so we could hear the game. Food was very good. We didn’t wait long and we didn’t feel rushed. I was happy to see we could order off regular menu, even though they also had some New Years Eve specials. They had an Elvis impersonator entertaining as well. A thoroughly enjoyable evening. We will be back.

For the price you would expect awesome food instead of McDonald’s food. Go to McDonald’s you will be happier. Wait staff spent more time chatting with each other then actually waiting on the customers. Will never go again…

The service and venue was reallly good. The food was bland. I ordered spagetti belonegnse with Italian sausage. The bread was ok. The sauce was surprisingly bland for a restaurant of this caliber and price range. It was slightly reminiscent of Campbells tomato soup. Ordered teramisou dessert. It was a healthy portion. But the flavor was again very bland.

It’s a good day when you are going to AndIamos’ in Clarkston. It is even better if Kera is taking care of you. She seemed to know everything on the menu and was helpful with descriptions and answered all of our questions. The ambiance was also very nice. But let’s not forget the food, after all that is why we go to restaurants. I had the Sicilian style whitefish, which was very fresh and tasty served with amoigue sauce. I wanted to eat all of the fish without the sauce because the fish didn’t need any help. Don’t get me wrong I do love amoigue and I did eat it all but on my bread! And with the bread I got every bit of it from the bowl. check out the photos. Sorry no picture of the whitefish (my wife wasn’t fast enough). She had the sea food pasta which was also very good I know because she needed my help to finish it off. :-) and she had dessert on her mind. I was happy for that as they have a nice selection of yummy deserts. She had the kit-​cat and I had the tiramisu we both ate half then switched plates pretty smart huh? Well that’s what happens after fourty years of marriage. By the way we had the best ever surprise anniversary party right there at Andiamos last week. They did an excellent job of catering to our group of about fifty people, and the quality of food and service did not suffer at all. That’s all for now see you at Andiamos in clarkston.

We almost didn’t come to Andiamo tonight to celebrate our anniversary because of the mixed reviews online. I am really happy we took a chance because our meal and our service was excellent. Plus the price was very reasonable.
We started off with the calamari appetizer which was excellent — very lightly breaded with breaded deep fried banana peppers and 3 dipping sauces. Craft beers and cocktails were good and plentiful.
Lasagna and the filet for our main courses. As our server Jaime suggested, the filet was so flavorful and melt-​in-​your-​mouth tender. Suggest ordering one level rarer than regular though. My medium was more medium-​well, but still excellent.
We split the «kit-​Kay» dessert — a chocolate hazelnut ganache creation with raspberry drizzle– excellent!!!
Our experience was very positive and we will return!

So this place has a lackluster tomato sauce which to me is the keystone of any Italian restaurant. The bread was under seasoned and served with watery tomato sauce. The side salads were made with iceberg lettuce, tomatoes and cheese, nothing to write home about. I ordered the gnocchi and it was decent but not exceptional and not good enough to be sold at the $$ price point. I ordered dessert and it was pre-​made frozen cake. I would come here again at the request of another but not by my own volition.

AMAZING ESTABLISHMENT!
The atmosphere is fantastic, the pricing is a bit high but the atmosphere is so welcoming– not stuffy! I have been to MANY andiamo’s and this place takes the cake!
The servers know the menu well, and that is SO refreshing. Makes the whole dining experience effortless.
What to order? My recommendation is the Chicken Marsala with a side of pasta with meat sauce. I would ask to have the pasta they serve with it removed and replaced with potatoes (but that’s just my preference).
Will be back, again, and again, and again :)! Great job, Andiamo’s!

Dinner was on the cold side tonight. Server was friendly. I’ll try again another day.

The food was great. The atmosphere was a little loud not very private. I miss the Rochester location. Service was quick and polite. I never had an empty plate in front of me for more then 10 seconds.

Great ambiance and food. The service is exceptional, and the entertainment is top notch too.

Yup, we’ll be back. Outdoor seating and amazing service with great good. Pricey but you pay for quality. Love it!

Service was very good and the food was good although we had nothing to compare to as both us ordered dishes that were new to us., I had a fish called turbot and my lovely wife had veal marsala. She really enjoyed her meal and saved some for lunch so she could enjoy her tasty canolli dessert. We usually do not spend big bucks on a dinner so tonight was an exception as we were celebrating our wedding anniversary. With so many other Detroit area restaurants that we have yet to try, I doubt we will return,.

We were there for almost 2 hours last night for a nearly empty restaurant. Our waiter seemed to take his good old time coming back to our table and checking on us. Even when he was there we had to ask for more water each time our glasses were empty. The crab cakes were great, the main course was only so so. The brick chicken was only warm and there wasn’t a roasted pepper anywhere on the plate. The lasagna was the size of a deck of cards. The Kit Kat dessert was good. Basically if we ever go back it will be for appetizers and the desserts and hope for faster service. We expect slower service with a busy restaurant but not an empty one.
Updated 4÷3÷15 — I did receive a message from the owner wanting to make it right. I do appreciate that.

Very solid nice staff at times however seem inexperienced the good is spot on been there a few times and would go back

The food is great but the price and the very relaxed wait service isn’t where it should be. Dinner is going on 2 hours and all our glasses are empty and we haven’t been served the main course and the Resteraunt is starting to win down.

Mediocre at best. My family and I used to go to the Andiamo in Rochester before it closed and loved it but this location, sadly, isn’t the same.

Great service, great ambiance, very clean and new and gorgeous inside. Pricey but delish. Had salmon salad, grilled perfectly. Margarita pizza with house sauce for dipping was a huge hit. Desserts looked amazing but we were too full.

So not worth the money!!! Very loud at this restaurant. We were on our way to dte music theater, saw this place and stopped before our show. The canopy out front says calzone on it. I didn’t see it on the menu, the waitress said of course you can order a calzone. Then came back and said no we don’t offer that any more. So my husband and I shared the lasagna. It took so long for the waitress to bring us an extra plate that the lasagna was cold. It was ok tasting, however it was hard to judge because it was cold. The bread was strange, hard and small. The butter on the table was almost frozen, you could not spread it on the awful bread. This was a terrible and expensive experience.

The Andiamo in Clarkston is okay (definitely better than the previous Mesquite Creek). The wine selection was so-​so and quite short for whites. The food was mediocre and VERY salty. I normally salt my food and enjoy salty items, but the food here was incredibly salty, even for my taste. The two different entrees we ordered, both chicken based, were decent at best. The dessert was the best course of the meal. We shared a chocolate tuxedo cake that was delicious. The odd thing about it, though, was that it was served with cool whip and not real whipped cream. I don’t care for cool whip and its unmistakably sweet artificial flavor, and given the nice presentation and fanciness of the dessert I thought that using cool whip was very odd. There are many other great restaurants in the area that I would choose over this Andiamo. If I do return it will likely be for salad or dessert, but not a main entrée.
