on Citysearch Sep 27, 2009A mouse-like rodent ran across my foot while waiting for a table. The host was not concerned, he mentioned it was cold and that the doors had been open a lot. Makes me wonder exactly how many vermin occupy Cafe Cortina.... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 15, 2009I don't usually write bad reviews on restaurants since it could've been an off night, but I felt compelled to review Cafe Cortina. My wife and I went there on Valentine's Day (Sat night)...maybe not the best night to... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 14, 2008Cafe Cortina is a great place for dinner! They actually grow many of their veggies they serve right there behind the place! They have a beautiful dining room and great food. Wonderful desserts too! Pricey but worth... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 24, 2008We have eaten at this restaraunt 3 times. It is always incredible! The food is the best anywhere. The atmosphere is awsome and the service is always "a cut above the rest". We just can't recommend Cafe Cortina... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 17, 2007I've eaten all across the country and I have to say that Cafe Cortina is without a doubt one of the best Italian restaurants around. From the impeccable Italian-accented service (I wonder if everyone is told to speak... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 01, 2006IMHO, anyone who rates the Whitney's uneven service and overpriced food as superior to Cafe Cortina simply hasn't been there, or doesn't know great Italian food when they see it. This is a primo spot for birthdays,... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 15, 2006Romantic to the max, try to get a table near the fireplace. Authentic Italian done with flair and class. The portions a a bit small, but the quality is there in spades. Excellent service what more could you ask for in a... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 14, 2006Prices are high. Appetizers run $6-12, pastas $25-30, entrees $35-50. For these prices I expect well-executed food. Pastas were not overcooked but they were not flavorful, relying on heavy cream sauces. Spent $48... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 11, 2002I read a lot about this place, they must have a good P.R. person because it just does not live up to it's own hype. Stuffy "we are real Italians" attitude. The food was good but way overpriced. They claimed to have a large... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 21, 2002Cortina Cafe has excellent food but the atmosphere is beyond any in the Detroit area. For a wonderfully romantic evening, this restaurant is the best. (more)
