Metro Detroit Food Critic Recommends Two Berkley Restaurants

Two Berkley restaurants recently were recommended as venues where diners looking to ditch the status quo can expand their horizons in 2013.

Crispelli's Bakery & Pizzeria and Vinsetta Garage were among the 13 restaurants selected by Metro Detroit food critic Molly Abraham in an article in The Detroit News.

• "Step up to the host stand and be assigned a table, then proceed to a food station to place the order. When the food is ready, someone will call you by name to pick it up," Abraham writes of Crispelli's. "The system has been seen elsewhere, but not with the standards of quality in setting and fare Crispelli's achieves."
• "In addition to it dishing up one of the best interpretations of mac and cheese in this town or any other, the restaurant in the former car repair shop has a lot to offer with its menu of American comfort food," she says of Vinsetta Garage. "The circa-1919 garage serves quality fare beyond what might be expected in the unassuming setting that includes the original scarred flooring and many other reminders of the past."
