This small room, which began as a coffeehouse and almost immediately segued into a full-fledged restaurant, quickly became a popular spot in Grosse Pointe. The room has an appealing energy and intimacy - with 38 seats around tables nestled close together. The well-prepared menu is the right length for a bite-size restaurant that includes eight appetizers, a half-dozen pasta dishes and five main plates, including notable favorite, tournedos di vitello, medallions of veal filet in a fresh mushroom sauce. Cafe Nini is named for Alicia (Nini) Barbieri, the third generation of the Da Edoardo restaurant family.

I love hole in the wall places. The quote "never judge a book by its cover" comes in mind. Service, staff, and food are en pointe (LOL)

This site is my number one site. Of all restaurants I know I love it most. I never miss an opportunity to go to that place. Whenever I want to go to a delicious supper, this restaurant comes first to my head. outstanding and varied food and a large menu.trained crew, and pleasant spirit. Not less important, the charge is good. I sent my friends to this spot with no hesitation.

Small, quaint and very cozy restaurant with great ambiance, service, and food. The chicken parmesan was incredible as was the bread. A bit pricey but the experience is worth it.

Great food, great service! Make a reservation because seating is limited. If you’re lucky enough to get a table you’ll be delighted by the amazing cuisine.
