Best WLM Reviews

My family is visiting from Texas, and we read good reviews, so we decided to try. Jackson was our waiter and he was so patient with our 3 young daughters. The food was excellent and the atmosphere was lovely. We are so happy we chose this place. My wife had the salmon plate and said it was the best salmon she has ever had. The kids had Spaghetti and meatballs and fettuccine. I had the carbanara. I had never had it so I can't compare it to anywhere. But I really loved it. I would recommend it to anyone! Thank you Jackson, have a cowboy cold beer for me.
I enjoyed my dinner at Cello very much. I got the ravioli, and my sister got the chicken alfredo. We split crispy mozzarella as an appetizer. I had the carrot cake for dessert, and it was amazing. The piece of carrot cake was large enough that my sister and I shared it and I still had some to bring home. Everything I just listed was delicious. The service was Top Notch.
One of my favorite restaurants in Howell and top formal dining experiences. Big shout out to Emily for her wonderful hospitality!!! From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed and at home. Everything on the menu sounded incredible, we stuck with pasta dishes to share. Every dish was perfect from start to finish! The wild mushroom gnocchi was delicious, and my favorite. Their red sauce is perfect, I caught myself eating it by the spoon full, well after I finished my dish.
Wow!!!!! What an incredible dining experience!! Everything about this dinner was amazing. Our server made excellent recommendations and stated she had worked at the restaurant since she was 16 years old because she enjoys the food so much
The passes are all handmade daily and you can walk by in the back and see them making them. Tonight if they were making the tortellinis by hand and you could see the freshness!
The arugula salad was dressed perfectly with the perfect amount of goat cheese.
If you're a party of two, you may not want to get the roasted garlic as it is absolutely delicious but a very large portion when there are so many other excellent choices.
The menu is well done considering they offer the options of smaller and larger portions. I recommend one appetizer to split as well as one small pastas. Plus have one of the protein dishes.
We cannot wait to go back again!!
Probably in the top two in the Brighton/Howell/Hartland area for the combination of really great food, fantastic service, and ambiance, with superb value. We love that they offer a small and large size on all entrees, and they allow you to substitute any protein. So if you want scallops (which are a great size) with your Lemon Pasta (one of our favorites), just ask. I am very partial to their spaghetti and meatballs - pasta made in-house, a fantastic red sauce, and the best meatballs around. The servers are attentive and you can tell they like working there and they work as a team.
This is by far my Favorite Italian restaurant in Michigan. Great place to go with family if you are willing to order multiple items and share. The food is incredible. The service was better than I have received at most fine dining establishments. This restaurant is an hour drive for us but we have done it twice in 3 months.
I LOVED everything about this restaurant. The whole vibe and feel in the restaurant was great. It’s a tightly packed, small venue, but it doesn’t feel that way. My girlfriend and I went there on a little date night. Our waiter Andrew was beyond great. His service was top notch and was a very friendly individual. My girlfriend ordered the spaghetti and meatballs and I ordered the chicken fettuccini alfredo. The food was delicious. Fair prices. The restaurant was very clean. I am looking forward to going back to this place for many more meals and nights out with my lady.
This is hands down the BEST meal I have had in a VERY long time. We came back a second day in a row, since we were visiting from out of town to show our other son who wasn't with us the first visit. It was THAT good. You will NOT regret eating here! Also, Sherry C was our server both times, and she was AMAZING!
