When we learned that Charlie Trotter’s would return for just 14 evenings in November 2026, featuring a nine-course tasting menu drawn from his own cookbooks, we knew this was an opportunity we could not miss.

Chef Adam Curry delivered a remarkable chef’s tasting menu at Adelina in Detroit, celebrating the fall season with beautifully executed Italian dishes and thoughtful wine pairings.

Heart, nostalgia, and a genuine appreciation for the classics. These are just a few of the qualities that come to mind when we think about Angelo's Fine Italian.

Knowing that Chef Cory Barberio and Chef Jared Gadbaw were bringing their talents together, we knew the quality of the ingredients would be unquestionable a

It's where we've celebrated birthdays and anniver

The dining room feels like old-school New York hospitality with Miami's unmistakable flair layered on top. Every detail is polished, energetic, and larger than life.
