Lelli's Restaurant Review

Located in a freestanding building west of Pontiac, Lelli's built its reputation at its Detroit location and has been going strong since 1939. The time-tested menu offers antipasto to spumoni---including a creamy variety of minestrone---although some patrons prefer to order just the trimmings without the main course.

Great food and atmosphere. The waitstaff is very good and anticipates your needs. If you are going here with a family of four expect a $150-200 bill, although high priced definitely worth a visit for a special occasion.

Unfortunately the chocolate cake we ordered was no longer available. Lastly we were charged for a steak...

Come to Lelli's Restaurant for a fine dining experience you can't find anywhere else. Lelli's was opened by Irene and Nerio Lelli in 1939 and has been serving Northern Italian dishes to the Detroit metropolitan area ever since.

Molly Abraham, Detroit News Restaurant Critic: Famous for serving some of the best minestrone around, as well as a house filet mignon which has been the most popular dish since the days when the Italian restaurant was on Woodward Avenue in Detroit, it continues in its suburban location half a mile from the Silverdome, ironic now that the Detroit Lions are ensconced at Ford Field in Detroit.

Accommodating, softly lit Lelli's has been a Detroit mainstay for generations, and patrons can't get enough of the restaurant's wonderful northern Italian fare. Six-course meals are a popular extravagance, centered on osso buco, a Prime Provimi veal chop, calves liver with bacon and onions, broiled lobster tail, and baked manicotti. Chateaubriand for two and a luscious minestrone are also crowd...
