Gaudino's - St Clair Shores, Michigan

We were shopping in the area, so stopped in for lunch (first time), where we were warmly greeted. Tried one of their famous subs and I can see why! Delicious. Finished up sharing a chocolate cake dessert - one of the best I ever had. Service was excellent. Thank you and we will be back soon to try the dinner menu.

This was our second visit to Gaudino’s. The service was as spectacular as the first visit. The food was again incredible. I had the filet, not pictured, and it was cooked perfectly as requested. We asked for recommendations on entrees and appetizers and the results were even better than expected. We will be back soon. Great place, great food, great service, and excellent atmosphere.

My buddy and I stopped here by chance for lunch on our way back from a meeting. The atmosphere was very pleasant and thought out. The waitress gave us a history of the place and family who had owned the property/business over generations. Very nice to hear.

We ordered a custom pizza with basil, Italian sausage, mushroom and mozzarella. It was a bit more bread than I like but still very tasty. We took some Gaudino Italian subs to go for later and they, too, were delicious.

If I'm ever in the area again, I'll definitely come back!

I had high hopes for Gaudino’s after hearing so many wonderful things and Italian is my absolute go-to for going out to eat but unfortunately I was completely underwhelmed. I will say, the ambiance is beautiful and I liked the dim lighting. Their market looks great with a variety of cold cuts, salads, pastas and other pantry items. I ordered the Eggplant Parmesan. The food is delicious, but the portions are ridiculously small. We ordered two appetizers to share, plus our meals and dessert and I didn’t feel full. I wasn’t even that hungry to begin with but the portions were very sparse especially for the price-point. I have never left an Italian restaurant without feeling stuffed or having leftovers. The service was another big turnoff, as we felt rushed and our server was not very friendly/cheerful and it really seemed like she did not want to be there that Friday night. We had a 7:30p reservation, they closed at 9, and there were only a couple other tables while we were there. A young busser kept constantly coming over asking to clear our plates when there was clearly food left on it. I appreciate the efforts but it was excessive, every couple of minutes. Very off experience and I’m not sure I’ll be back.

The server was very nice, clean restaurant, great food, and the only drawback was the sort of slow service. The server answered my questions and they’re very good about helping assist my choices in a dairy allergy so that was a bonus. The sub sandwich exceeded my expectations. The chicken pastina soup was delish. Meatballs (appetizer) were very tasty- and the mougue sauce served with the calamari was so good! I would recommend Guadino’s.

Had a fantastic evening at Gaudino’s tonight! The staff were friendly & top notch from the minute we stepped in. Really enjoyed exploring the deli cases and other goods. Live acoustic trio was VERY good and added to the experience. The food, drinks and dessert were outstanding. Great couple’s date night! Thanks!

Good place to come and check out, prices seemed a little bit high for having to sit at a community table and eat pasta. The pasta was very al dente which was good I like it that way. Our food was pretty delicious, the tiramisui we ordered for dessert was so good I swear it had to be made in house and was told it is not. The food is not cheap especially for pasta and drinks are not cheap also, it's like the prices reflect a fancier more individualized environment. There is a deli in the center of the place you can order meats and cheeses and other things from. The service was ok. Had to wait for some things but our server was doing her best I suppose for it really not being busy at all while we were there. Makes me wonder how it is when they are busy. They have an open kitchen area you can see which is cool too be able to see them cooking the food, got the flames going back there it was cool. Did not get a pic unfortunately, I felt a bit awkward as they were looking at me also.. It was very interesting to find out that the pieces of wood in the middle that make up what looks like a tree are actually from wine barrels. But I would say check it out and see what you think for yourself.

I did not eat anything from here. Was delivering an order. But the aroma was magnificent. And it's a good cozy family vibe inside. Very respectful wait staff. I will be going to get food soon. Will change my food review then I am sure.
