Another Italian restaurant on this list that is run, in part, by an actual Italian chef, Adelina has the benefit of being in a hot location, on Woodward next to the new Hudson’s Detroit building and steps away from festive Campus Martius. The reason it’s on the list is the service and the food, though. Chefs Gabriel Botezan and Marco Dalla Fontana collaborated with Florence-born celebrity chef and businessman Fabio Viviani for this menu, which puts a Mediterranean spin on the Italian cuisine. The menu has been smartly streamlined a bit since the March opening and now features shareable starters like salty focaccia with whipped ricotta, rosemary and olives or the octopus with garbanzo puree. Among the house-made pastas are a really nice, springy rigatoni in a palomino sauce with Stracciatella cheese. I like the bar area here, and while the cocktails have downtown prices, they are fun, with Adelina’s own spin on trendy drinks like a spicy margarita, an espresso old fashioned and an alcohol-free espresso martini.”
