Andiamohttp://andiamoitalia.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Detroit-Riverfront-Patio.jpg

My brother and I were adopted from South Korea and we grew up in a big, Italian family. Before my Grandma died a few years ago, we would go to her house every Sunday for family dinner with all my aunts, uncles, and cousins. My Grandma would cook up a huge, delicious meal and we would eat till we couldn't fit any more food in my stomach with my Grandma and Grandpa at the head of the table. Unfortunately, my Grandpa didn't do any of the cooking so we don't have too many Sunday dinners anymore. Whenever we have family gatherings I always look forward to the food because I know it is going to be a good meal with all kinds of snacks before and after. Italian food is my favorite kind of food and I will never get sick of it.
The restaurant Andiamo in Detroit is on the riverfront. It's very pretty. They have a lunch and dinner menu but we usually go for dinner. They are kind of pricey but well worth it. It's always a treat when we get to go to Andiamo for dinner. We always order calamari whenever we go to an Italian restaurant and in my opinion, Andiamo has the best calamari by far. I squeeze as much lemon as I can onto mine and dip it into the ammoglio sauce. It's delicious. Depending what mood I'm in for dinner, I'll either get the Fettuccine Alfredo, Gnocchi Palmina, or one of the chicken dishes. There are so many options it's hard to make up your mind.
Very rarely do I order the steak because of how expensive it is. If it's a special occasion I'll order it but if not I'll stick with something more reasonable in price. They have endless choices of wine to choose from but I never try anything I'm not familiar with so I usually just get the Pinto Grigio, white wines are my favorite especially if it's chilled. My dad usually orders the red, dry wines and my mom isn't a wine drinker. 
Monday through Friday rom 3pm-6pm they have their happy hour which is half off their drinks and wines by the glass. It's a pretty good deal in my opinion. 
They also have a showroom inside where they'll have some famous people come in and perform as well. I've never been there for that but I heard it's a pretty cool experience. You can also use Andiamo for catering as well for parties. 

They have their own Facebook and Twitter too.

Andiamo is the perfect place to go to for a romantic date or a special occasion such as a birthday or a anniversary. It's a quiet, chill, and peaceful restaurant with no distractions or anything.
Since I am graduating this month I may suggest to my parents that we go here for dinner to celebrate! It's a perfect reason for why we should make the trip out to Detroit and dine at a fabulous place!
