Maisano's Italian Restaurant

Definitely my favorite place for Italian food!! The staff at Maisano’s has a way of making you feel welcome and part of their family. Typically, I stop in about every other week and have become acquainted with many of their regulars - most of which stop in multiple times a week! Maisano’s always has delicious specials, but my favorite plate is their salmon. It tastes absolutely amazing!! I have ordered this dish too many times to count and am always impressed by the consistency from their kitchen. I recommend Maisano’s to my family and friends for a cozy dining experience and to support a family-owned small business.

I highly recommend going to this restaurant! My family and I have been going there for years. The food is always absolutely delicious! The wait staff is very nice and attentive. I would say the only negative is how small the restaurant is, so sometimes there is a wait to get in, but that just tells you how great of a place it is!!

Yanni made us feel like we were part of the family, great service! The chocolate banana bread was warm and amazing! Had the trio, and the pasta is fresh and sauce is delicious, the brushetta was great and finished with Grandpa's family recipe cannoli, which wasn't too sweet like some are and had chocolate chips and a great texture. Been here three times and never disappointed

We have family in Novi and they recommended Maisanos. It is in a strip mall and we would have missed it if we didn't know it was there. It is a local Italian restaurant and this was our first visit. They were very busy. It is not a large restaurant and it felt like we were packed in with very little space to move around. We got a couple of appetizers to share. The food was all very good. I got the tenderloin Marsala which was a special. The portions were all very large. We had a table of 6 and they told us since we had a big group that our gratuity was added in already. I am not a fan of when restaurants do this, especially since we only had 6.

Our first time here in about a year. The food and service were as good as we remembered. Minestrone soup and onion soup were both excellent as were all the pasta dishes our party of 4 ordered. Very generous serving of bread in the bread basket. Our server was pleasant and attentive. We also appreciate that the dining area is not overly loud so it’s easy to have conversation over dinner. We won’t wait another year to dine here again.

This was our first time at Maisano's. We had always heard good things about this place but our experience was better than expected. The atmosphere is cozy and intimate. We were greeted at our table by Taryn. She was friendly, cheerful, and very knowledgeable about the menu. Taryn was attentive but did not hover over us, allowing us to enjoy the dining experience. The food came out hot and was delicious. We could tell that each dish was personally prepared. It was a wonderful experience and we will be back again. We would also like to give a special shoutout to the hostess. We observed that she stopped at many of the tables to say hi and made sure everything was perfect. She was friendly, cheerful, and had a great personality. Great job to the entire staff.

This place is a hidden gem. We had heard good things about this family owned restaurant and we are glad we listened. As soon as you step in the door you are transported to Italy. The staff is very welcoming and restaurant spotless. Our waitress, Leah, was great. Our house salads were fresh and delicious and the Italian and zucchini/banana bread were delightful. I got the meat Ravioli and Bob got the lasagna. Both were very tasty and served hot. We are so glad we listened when others talked about this great Italian restaurant. It is a high scale Italian restaurant with reasonable prices. Thanks for the great food and service and we will see you again soon.

Cozy restaurant with great Italian dishes. Chicken Marsala was excellent. Service was a little slow and the salad was a little wilted. Would go back.
